Chapter 5 - Two For One Special

[A - Action - 458 Stone Street, Morning]

[Welcome to a brand new day in Mayfield, household! Dakki is up bright and early like always, and today she is humming pleasantly to herself while she mixes together the batter for pancakes. This is perfectly normal. Surely, there is nothing wrong with this.

She's even using chocolate chips, for extra deliciousness!]

[B - Action - Around Town, mid-day]

[One of the most normal things for Dakki to do on a day like this would be to go to the park and train! It's important to keep fit, after all. Perhaps you'll catch her jogging laps, or doing push-ups, or practicing with the long staff she made for herself. Be careful not to get too close, though.]

Ah, out of the way, now! [A light, airy laugh] You're slowing me down! But I wouldn't dream that you could ever keep up with me, you poor thing...

[And so on. And so forth.]

[C - Action - Up and down Stone Street at high volume]

[Why are there two blonde women running up and down the street, exchanging blows with makeshift weapons? And why is one only in her undergarments? And slightly sticky?]

YOU'LL PAY FOR THIS, COPY-CAST!!!

Not if you keep telegraphing your moves like that!

[The one only in her skivvies seems much, much angrier than the one in the nice blue dress and pearls.]

[The girl of the household bounded down the stairs, happier than she's ever been, with the best dress (http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b121/funhou/forum/61719.jpg) she had in the closet.]

Hi mom, what's shakin'? I totally can't wait for breakfast this morning!

Edited 2011-10-25 06:30 (UTC)

[So delightful and perfect is this morning, that Dakki feels no need to point out any of the oddness! How strange? From her spot at the stove, she turns and smiles at her not-daughter.]

We're having pancakes for breakfast, Aurica! Although I wouldn't have too many, if I were you. You do still want that lovely dress to fit.

[Smile smile smile, all the while...]

(Chen refused to sleep in that dreaded doghouse in the backyard, so she had simply parked herself on the living room couch. She awoke to the smell of...something delicious. This would be the moment of the cartoon when the person floats through the air to follow the smell. ~~Maybe when Chen can fly again.~~)

Something smells great, Dakki. I can't wait until it's ready!

(Could cats eat chocolate? Let's find out!)

[Dakki turns her pleasant smile to Chen, as she deftly flips a fresh pancake out of the pan and onto a plate.]

Of course you can't wait, you fuzzy little freeloader! Pancakes are just that good.

Hey, mom, leave some for me~! I'm totally supposed to be your favorite, you know? [Oh Aurica, imposing such projections, aren't we?]

And Chen like, shouldn't you be eating cat food like a good little kitten?

If that's the problem, then I must be a very bad cat; I've eaten more than just cat food and walked away happily. And I'm not a freeloader! I could do more things if I had hands again...

(This was very much a surprise to the cat. Something seemed very wrong with both Aurica and Dakki...

...oh crap.)

You're both droned, aren't you?

Of course you're my favorite, Aurica! I don't have any other daughters to prefer.

[She punctuates that with a pleasant laugh, and ladles more batter into the hot pan.]

Droned? Chen, that's silly! Would a drone have done a hundred push-ups this morning before breakfast?

[There's a definite superior-to-thou tone to her voice, there.]

(Chen instantly thought of the droned "daughter" in the house, but in Dakki's defense, Chen wouldn't count her, either. The laugh manages to make the cat uncomfortable with relative ease.)

A drone would be able to creep out normal non-drones without trying, but you're still talking to me. Is it indigestion or something?

[Dakki laughs again, giving her head a carefree shake.]

I just want to chat with you, Chen! You're so adorable. What's so creepy about that?

[Another pancake is flipped from the pan, and more butter and batter is added.]

I don't usually get to chat with cute things. I'm usually slicing them up.

(The cat's eyes are following that delicious smelling pancake. Sooooooo appetizing...

...focus, Chen!)

That's how things work for us cute things; we find it easier to chat when we're not sliced up.

[Biting as Dakki is, she's not so cruel as to deprive Chen of tasty breakfast. A plate with a single lovely fluffy pancake is set down before her, a little pat of butter already melting atop it.]

Do you want syrup? I'd be careful, you don't want to get it all over yourself and be sticky. Then who'd pet you?

(Delicious fluffy pancake makes Chen a happy cat. It's truly beginning to bother her why Dakki is being so strange, but FOOD FOR CHEN SHE MUST EAT IT)

Yes, please. I can eat it without getting myself sticky...I think. I'm used to using chopsticks, honestly. Even then, I can still be cute enough to pet!

(She starts to paw at the pancake, trying to use her teeny little claws to cut it up, which lead to varying results and uneven pieces scattered on the plate. She definitely enjoys the one piece she chose to eat first. ~~Chen has consumed chocolate and lived take that reality~~)

[Dakki giggles at Chen's efforts, in a reasonably Dakki-ish way.]

I'll be the judge of that when you're all done, Chen honey.

[And the pan was filled with more batter, still! Gat had yet to come and have his breakfast, after all....]

[Having seen the odd behavior from Aurica and Dakki earlier that day, but not having the time to do anything about it, Gat's been troubled by other similar cases happening all over town; people acting like happy jerks, fighting with clones acting like happy jerks, and strange pods everywhere.]

[So once he's on his way home to find Dakki fighting with another Dakki, he has an idea of what must be done. Gat breaks into a full run, intending to tackle the fully-clothed Dakki like a defensive lineman. ~~Or maybe a sedan.~~]

You've gotten soft, cl--!

[Deeeefinitely like a sedan. The dress-clad Dakki didn't even see Gat coming, so absorbed was she in roughing up her underpants-clad twin. The wind is knocked out of her, the frying pan falls out of her grasp, and she groans dazedly.]

...Holy Light, that looked like it hurt....

[Underpants-Dakki is out of breath, and glad for a reprive, but MAN it's hard to watch someone take "you" down with that much force.]

[Get gets up into a kneeling position, using some of his weight to make sure the pod!Dakki can't get away. He looks back over to the real Dakki.]

Figured it'd be th' best way to fix this here problem.

[Pod-Dakki is starting to come back around, finding some breath and some composure. And she looks quite heartbroken and confused, to have Gat's considerable bulk devoted to pinning her down.]

Gat...? Wh-why would you... don't you know it's me?

[Actual-Dakki has gotten over her discomfort and astonishment, and has moved right along into considerable anger. She pauses only long enough to pick that frying pan up, and is then right alongside the two.]

Thank you, Gat.

[And then, cold rage is turned on the pod-Dakki.]

...You are not me. How dare you claim to be!

[And if Gat doesn't somehow stop her? Actual-Dakki is going to slam that frying pan down hard on her clone's head.]

Whoa, now—!

[Even though Gat is trying to pin the pod Dakki down, he's going to reach up and try to grab Dakki's arm before she can splatter her dop-pod-ganger's head across the sidewalk.]

—Alright, first, I want some answers here. What happened, Dakki? Did she attack you on sight?

[Only after he says that does he realize he might have to clarify which Dakki he means. But he's looking at the real one.]

[An arm in the way of her swing is enough to keep Dakki from caving in her clone's skull. Although she makes a wordless vocalization of objection, at first.]

Of course I attacked her on sight! She's... she's a copy of me! And a bad one, too!

[The Pod-Dakki is struggling to rise.]

The neighbors pried me out of a pod, and I came through the front door to find you standing around wearing my clothes and my hair and my face!

[Gat's effort to keep Pod-Dakki immobilized is redoubled by her open admission to openly attacking the real Dakki.]

So it was jus' like all th' other cases I've seen in town.

It's been happening all around town? It's not just me?

Well, that's Mayfield for you. You should realize that, you stupid fake!

Yeah. I've been seein' pods an' people fightin' themselves all around town.

[Glancing down at the dop-pod-ganger.]

An' th' ones from th' pods always act a bit like a jackass.

At least I'm not the only one... [Actual-Dakki really isn't sure that she's comforted by that. She's at least not trying to force that pan down on her clone's head, so Gat can put more of his focus on the pod-Dakki.]

I'm not allowed to be angry that my clone is trying to kick my ass?

Hey, you're the clone, here!

I am not. You are. Who came out of the pod, hmm?

[Gat looks back down at the dop-pod-ganger.]

You ain't gonna fool me. Dakki ain't th' type to act like you've been actin' since this mornin'. Both you and‐

[Suddenly he looks up and over at the house.]

—Aurica.

[Both the pinned Dakki and the standing Dakki react the same way at the mention of Aurica's name. A tensing, a turning of the head towards the house, and a simultaneous exclamation.]

Aurica!

...she wasn't in the house, that I saw.

No, she hasn't come home from school, yet.

A (I lied, enjoy~)

I shall! (And that's quite the dress.)

What is this Chen don't even...

The last Dakki post should have had drone-ified text, ack
