Unit 2 - Video and Voice : Hotel

[[ooc : Italics is the shadow, normal writing is Gaignun himself.]]

[Surprisingly, its at the hotel that the video clicks on. He had only been meaning to make a call to check up on his brothers when his finger had slipped to the 'video-all' button when he was startled by his shadow suddenly materializing out of who knows where.  The phone is forgotten and you're treated to a nice view of the ceiling for this discussion.]

There you are, you're a difficult person for even yourself to track down.

I was wondering when you were going to show up, though I don't know why you bothered. I don't really have the time to talk with you, or really anything to discuss.

Father.

There is really nothing about Dmitri Yuriev that needs to be discussed. Now if you'll excuse me I have things to d---

It's embarrassing you know! Here we are, a genetically engineered bio-weapon and we couldn't even oust one squishy scientist's mental intrusion. Or maybe...

Maybe what...? [Gaignun's voice is low and guarded, like he has a feeling he knows what the shadow is trying to imply.]

Poor 666 and 667, they tried so hard to help you, and nearly broke their hearts in the process. We tried too, didn't we? Not hard enough that's for sure. Father was always good at manipulating us to get what he wanted.

Hey! Don't call them that! They have names! [Totally avoiding the point and hoping to distract the shadow, which unfortunately doesn't work]

DON'T AVOID THE ISSUE 669!

[There's muffled cursing as Gaignun realizes that the damn communicator was on.]

Look, be still for a moment, I have to turn this off...[He finally appears into view]

Sorry about that, I've got this under control.

Oh? Is that why you're shouting at that fake?

I'm not sh---

You totally were. Hi 667. Feeling better?

SHUT UP.

My name is Albedo! And I wasn't talking to you, my business is with Nigredo.

I could come help you deal with it, if you'd like. I'm not so weak that I can't summon my Persona, and beating a copy of your face in sounds like fun.

You are not to get out of bed Albedo, I'm in no mood to haul you back there once this is over with.

Albedo is a nickname.

Will you...for the love of... you're just going to make him mad.

I'm well enough to walk between rooms. And in case you hadn't realized, your duplicate needs a lesson in manners.

*The only thing keeping his eyes from glowing right about now is the fact that he doesn't have his powers.*

I am dealing with it! It's fine! [He knows the shadow has access to their powers from home and he's worried that the shadow will use them.]

Dealing with it would be nice, 669. I don't have all night after all.

*But he wants to fiiiight. Especially with that thing throwing around their numbers left and right. Unfortunately, he's pretty sure Rubedo would find a way to lock him in his room if he got hurt any worse.*

...You'd better not get hurt before I recover.

[If Jr. didn't, Gaignun would so don't push your luck.]

I wont. [He sounds relieved that Albedo is seeing reason maybe.]

Besides, it's not as if he doesn't already know. I mean, he called you on it! What did he say? 'Always been that wa--- [Shadow gets a palm to the face and the video is clicked off]
