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.]

Listen, Dakki. We gotta find out what happened to th' real Aurica. One of us has gotta go look for her an' bring her back home.
I can keep a watch on th' clones.
no subject
You should change first. All of Mayfield doesn't need to see that much of us.
HEY!
[Actual-Dakki is already taking steps away, though.]
no subject
Are ya invitin' her to take your clothes?
[Then he glances back over to the real Dakki.]
You'll need a knife to open th' pods if ya find her in one. Might as well go an' get a change of clothes if th' clone Aurica ain't home yet.
no subject
If it means you'll let me up....
[Actual Dakki facepalms and shakes her head.]
I'll get a knife. And some clothes. And Aurica. You can handle her, right?
no subject
Don't you worry none, Dakki.
no subject
[And just like that, Dakki is bolting for the house to change, and get a knife, and prepare to FIX THIS CRAP UP.]
...I'd say that we could use this time to chat about the good old days, but I'm not sure how good they actually were....
no subject
Yanno, I'd agree with that, but I don't think we've got th' same line of thinkin' behind that thought.
[Might as well humor the dop-pod-ganger.]
no subject
[She laughs, and it's Dakki's laugh... more or less.]
I'm surprised that you weren't already obsolete when you were back on Ragol!
no subject
There were folks way older'n me on Ragol. If you've got half th' mind of th' real Dakki, you'd know us Androids got upgrades whenever new tech came out.
no subject
Aw, Gat, you know that I'm teasing.
You're so easy to tease.
no subject
[But with mild amusement, he adds,]
Reckon you should be glad Alicia ain't here.
no subject
What? Are you implying that she'd try to eat me? Or shoot me? Or shoot me, then eat me?
Sometimes I feel bad for her, needing to follow you around all the time...
no subject
no subject
She's so easy to rile up, though. Was she that scrappy when she was a mag? Or can we blame partner machine programming for it? I'm not sure how you can stand her, sometimes...
Sorry for the delay! Thanksgiving was hectic.
She wasn't that much of a fireball as a Mag, naw—but I can stand her 'cause I know I can depend on her when th' chips're down.
no subject
I imagine it's falling apart, back home, without you there.
no subject
no subject
Sideshow to the big show? But you're the star of the sideshow, Gat.
I don't think they had an understudy ready.
no subject
no subject
Oh, Gat. You're no fun at all, anymore.
no subject
This could go on for quite a while. Perhaps there should be a fade out? Or..?
[She looks faintly wounded. As wounded as a relentlessly cheerful passive-aggressive drone can.]
You shouldn't start feeling superior just because you have a proper body again. That's not like you.
Yeah, once Real Dakki leaves the house, Gat could drag Pod Dakki in for a fade-to-black.
Excellent idea.
Aurica isn't home. She must be out there somewhere.
...she give you any trouble?
We're having a lovely conversation. Or I am, at least. Gat's a bit grumpy.
no subject
Naw, not all that much. She's jus' bein' herself.
Good luck with findin' Aurica. You be careful in town now, y'hear?
