Oh, everyone...! It looks like something strange is happening, after all. I don't want to say I told you so, but... well, I did tell you so. Be careful if you're going outside, alright? Until we sort out what's happening, it'd probably be for the best if everyone kept to themselves. After all... Wouldn't it be just like the town to trick us into hurting each other again?
[Lucas laughs, less nervous than such a laugh ought to be. It's slightly unnerving.]
If, you know, the doubles are really the real people just acting different because the town has brainwashed them... Then, if we don't stop to think... Well, I don't want to think what might happen. Nobody wants to hurt their friends, right? We can't just believe the people in the pods because they're more... accurate. It would be just like the the town to pull something so awful!
Anyway, if you're hurt at all, please call me! I'll be right there to heal you. That's what I do best... Please, don't hesitate!
[action]
[And Lucas can be found in his garden, tending to his plants with a smile on his face. ...He's ripping them out. It was fall, after all. They were dying.]
[action 2, first for Rainbow Dash, but open afterwards for anyone]
[Naturally, in the middle of his dead garden sits a small pod about the size of a child or a young teenager.]
[action 3]
PK Flash!
PSI Counter Alpha!
[The explosive green light reflects against the shimmering shield, bouncing back with enough speed to catch nearly anyone off-guard; Lucas, though, is intimately familiar with his own battling techniques. A flick of his stick and the green light harmlessly diffuses into flashing sparks.]
You won't get away with this!
That's what I ought to say! I'm the real one!
Liar! You're nothing like me!
Because you're a fake! You attacked first!
You ran at me with your stick! Now stop pretending!
[The two psychic boys continue to duke it out in the front yard. Lucas doesn't fight too often, but it becomes clear from this battle that he is much more well-practiced than might have been expected. PSI after PSI is flung back and forth and met with counter or shield; swings to the head are dodged easily; flying leaps result in evenly matched stand-offs as the boys bounce against each other again and again. At one point, one of the Lucases backflips, collecting a massive amount of PSI power in his foot. The drive downwards is met with an equally powerful blast of PSI upwards from the defending Lucas; the resulting explosion sends both of them flying. ...This seems to be a signal for a brief respite. One of the Lucases certainly could use some help. His doppelganger was every bit his equal.]

...
Mr. Netherlands... I have to go back and subdue him. I can't let another me go running around all over town...
no subject
Date: 2011-11-06 05:35 am (UTC)I just want to keep you away from him.

Date: 2011-11-07 02:18 am (UTC)You can't let him hurt you, Lucas.
no subject
Date: 2011-11-07 02:53 am (UTC)[...slightly awkward pause]
I mean, um.
Not that we should shoot him.
no subject
Date: 2011-11-07 03:39 am (UTC)[And Netherlands is handing Lucas his handgun.]
no subject
Date: 2011-11-07 04:06 am (UTC)[Lucas will gingerly push it back.]
I just need to... stop him. Incapacitate? Is that the right word?
no subject
Date: 2011-11-07 04:09 am (UTC)Do you have a plan? Some way that you think you can do that?
no subject
Date: 2011-11-07 04:16 am (UTC)[Such an act of violence went against everything he had fought for. He had killed before, yes, but only out of necessity - his life or the enemy's. Worse, to take a life with future technology, of all things...]
...Well, I think I do. I'm going to need your help, though.
no subject
Date: 2011-11-07 04:24 am (UTC)[He's keeping his gun out, though.]
no subject
Date: 2011-11-07 04:31 am (UTC)...All you have to do is distract him for a few moments. Face him away from the door somehow and make sure he doesn't turn around, alright?
no subject
Date: 2011-11-10 01:29 am (UTC)[He checks the gun just a bit pointedly.]
Just . . . I won't let him do anything. It's not a person, I don't know what it is, but it's not you in any way.
no subject

Date: 2011-11-10 11:58 pm (UTC)It's your call.
[He'll stand up and give Lucas an awkward pat. He never did master those displays of affection.]
no subject
Date: 2011-11-17 03:17 am (UTC)[And Lucas gives the Netherlands a hug in return.]
OK. ...You can go back in whenever you're ready.
no subject
Date: 2011-11-17 09:23 pm (UTC)You'll be fine.
[It's more to comfort himself than Lucas.]
no subject
Date: 2011-11-18 01:56 am (UTC)Inside, the clone is happily finishing up the last of his milkshake when the Netherlands walks back inside.]
Oh! You took care of the problem already, Mr. Netherlands? Maybe you're a lot more efficient than I thought you were!
no subject
Date: 2011-11-18 06:25 am (UTC)It's not that; he got away and we should find him. I need your help, Lucas.
no subject
Date: 2011-11-19 01:18 am (UTC)[...The clone doesn't sound very surprised, though.]
I knew you wouldn't be able to manage it alone. Alright, we've got to go find him, then!
[And the clone will head straight for the front door.]
sorry it's so slow.
Date: 2011-11-25 04:54 am (UTC)He just caught me off guard.
no subject
Date: 2011-11-25 08:43 pm (UTC)[And then a tea table walks through the front door.]
