Okay... okay this 'random arrival' thing was cute. [This is as sarcastic as someone can be without holding up a sign saying I'M BEING SARCASTIC.]

Nice trick the gods pulled, ha ha everyone is laughing.

[Isaac is not laughing. His voice is deadpan, a little tight, and when he glances behind him, there's... another Isaac. They look practically identical, save for wearing different clothes, a slightly different hairstyle, and Isaac- the one making the post- takes a deep breath and looks back to the feed, still in. A little bit of shock.]

But this.

This is a little creepy.

[Another deep breath. Deep breaths are important when the Invasion of the Bodysnatchers goes from Tuesday night B Horror to actual real life.]

...any explanations?


[[ooc: other Isaac is fugitive_but_great! Threadjacking is encouraged everywhere, and other Isaac will tag around a bit/threadjack too.]]

[she'd encountered the other isaac and this is still weird.]

A multitude of universes, or the fact that we're returned to exactly where we come from.

Are you all right?

[freezerburned]

Shouldn't the two of us in one place- I don't know, implode time and space?

[He's seen a few sci-fi films, alright.

Isaac just sort of shakes his head.]

...I don't know. This is weird.

[video]

[thoughtless]

You're right. This is my worst nightmare.

[ not that he's staying except psych he is. that said, jackson's clearly been laughing his ass off prior to responding. enjoy the identity crisis, bro. ]

[video]

[freezerburned]

Shut up.

[Because he's pretty sure they both still hate you.]

Good news is, we can both kick your ass now.

[better]

[holy world of... she's really confused.]

You know I only have one couch... and you don't even really fit on it.

video || THAT ICON omg

[freezerburned]

Yeah.

[He rubs at the back of his neck.]

I'm taking him home anyway. I don't really know what else to do.

[ Oh! Isaac posted to the network! This is the perfect opportunity for Scott to apologize to him!

Except after watching the video he learns there are two Isaacs now.

...His brain has officially broke. ]

Uhhhh....

[ Just give him a moment. Words will come eventually. ]

video;

[freezerburned]

[Yep, this is the perfect opportunity for him to continue being mad at Scott, but there are way more pressing matters at hand then Scott pissing him off. Which is pretty pressing in itself, but.]

That was pretty much my reaction.

video.

[predators]

[ derek stares at this a good long while before switching on the feed. it's... jarring, to say the least, and rivaling some of the weirdest things he's seen, and that's saying something. still, when he does finally pop on the feed, he looks-- well, not happy. not at all, really, it's quite the opposite. the opposite with a tightly inhaled sigh that ends up long and so fed up already. it's a hassle enough keeping an eye on one isaac, let alone two. even if another one means a bigger pack!! ]

I doubt this'll be permanent.

[ hello, isaac and isaac number two. ]

video.

[freezerburned]

[Oh no, it's a Derek sigh. Derek usually only sighs like that when someone has really screwed up. Isaac doesn't like that sigh. But at least Derek is here, and he knows what's going on, right? Right?]

Doesn't mean it's not weird now.

[To be frank. Trust him, Derek, Isaac is really just as fed up with this as you are.]

[Video]

[timaeus_testified]

[He studies the two of them and doesn't seem all that bothered. Then again, why has Dirk ever been bothered when he talks to Isaac.] It depends. It could be a mishap where they pulled you from the same timeline at different points.

[Video]

[freezerburned]

[Nope, Dirk is as cool as an ice cream cone, even when discussing Isaac breaking into pharmacies and stealing drugs. Everyone needs a friend like Dirk.]

I guess that's what happened. I just didn't know that two of us could exist at the same time. Isn't that like- a law of physics or something?

[A law of sci-fi, more like, but bear with him.]

[intelligently]

Well that was just what this place needed.

[freezerburned]

Better two of me than two of you.

[necrowmantic]

You never mentioned having a secret twin brother!

...Though I guess that would've made it less of a secret, huh?

[freezerburned]

...I don't have a secret twin brother, Henry. He's just- it's complicated.

[Video]

[comeonthensexy]

I heard my name. Hello again! I've actually got a friend who's multiplied into two, too.

[ A bit of a snicker because, heh, two too. ]

And forget near half a dozen; I'm up to nine. Nine of me running about. So! Yes, normally, the presence of two of the same person could... well probably not implode time and space just yet, but definitely create a paradox, and the universe doesn't like paradoxes. But my theory is, uhm. We've gotten so detached from our own universes it simply doesn't make a difference anymore.

[Video]

[freezerburned]

...that's a lot of you.

[Right, this is the guy with the weird name. But, Isaac supposes that it's all for the best that this guy explains everything, especially since he seems to have experience in this sort of field.]

And that's... a little alarming. Any idea on how to re attach to the universe?

[gymnast]

[ Oh, great. Allison finally calls a truce with one Isaac and the gods decide to bring another one into the mix. As if people disappearing and reappearing without memories wasn't confusing enough, not to mention the whole time discrepancies, now they have to deal with duplicates.

God, she really hopes there isn't another one of her running around. Or another Derek. That sounds awful. ]

Maybe it's a curse?

video;

[freezerburned]

[...oh hey, it's you. Well, Isaac doesn't really know if other-him hates Allison right now or not, and he's not really in a position to ask, because other Isaac basically hates him. Go figure.]

I don't think I've done anything to piss the gods off...

video;

[integrous]

I sure don't know why you suddenly got a twin, but don't think you can make him cover your shifts, got it?! I'll notice!

[ Priorities. ]

video;

[freezerburned]

[Best priorities. Also that was totally his plan, damnit Asahi.]

...I wouldn't do that.

[He totally would.]

And you'd never notice. We look identical.

[scarygirl]

[Small jabs after his anger management comment are totally appropriate, right?]

Surely you can't be that uncomfortable with yourself.

[freezerburned]

I'm not. Have you ever met yourself? Face to face? It's a little alarming, you know.

[Video]

[childofthewickedday]

You are twins?

[Mordred asks very solemnly]

[Video]

[freezerburned]

No.

[As if it's the most obvious thing in the world.]

If we were, do you think I'd be this creeped out?

[video]

[daddyissues]

[...there are two. ]


Uh.

[video]

[freezerburned]

My thoughts exactly.

[The more... the merrier?

Except not really.]

video

[getinthechariot]

A double?

Perhaps there is some manner of summoning ritual such as the one used to summon me?

video

[freezerburned]

Pretty sure that's what happened.

[He runs his fingers through his hair, a little nervously.]

But I didn't know that they could bring in two of... well, the same people.

filtered; so both isaacs can see this? and also text because he is obnoxious

[feathery]

so whos the past isaac and whos the future one

text; filtered; woo!

[freezerburned]

...i guess this makes me past isaac

video; /LATE WHOOPS
