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.]

m-mi! What are you doing?

Oh, Rika!

[He turns to her with a cheerful smile.]

I'm getting rid of the plants, of course. They're all going to die soon, so it's better not to leave them until they're an eyesore.

Oh, I see...



They are only dying soon, though. They have not died yet. Perhaps it would be kindest to leave them until they are truly done being beautiful, Lucas.

Do you think so? It's probably because you haven't had a garden before. Last year, they all started weeping so quickly I couldn't get to them in time; it was really bad.

[Lucas beams again.]

From: [identity profile] badend-replay.livejournal.com
There is no way to know for sure if, a moment before they die, these plants may look their most beautiful. It is unfair to cut them out before they have that chance to try.



I will keep an eye on them as well. So it will not turn out the same way this year if we leave them. Okay?

Date: 2011-10-25 09:33 pm (UTC)
From: [identity profile] a-gentle-boy.livejournal.com
Well, it's your time! Thanks, Rika.

[Lucas will leave the flowers alone and begin to gather up the ones he'd already gotten rid of. There are quite a few.]

Gosh, look at this mess. Maybe it's too much trouble to keep this kind of thing at all. I'd be better off with a rock garden.

Date: 2011-10-25 09:37 pm (UTC)
From: [identity profile] badend-replay.livejournal.com
I am certain that is not true. This garden looks very nice, even in Fall, Lucas...



You should not consider such a thing.

You're feeling contrary today, huh? Don't worry; I'm just making conversation. I love flowers more than anything else.

From: [identity profile] badend-replay.livejournal.com
I see...



Were you in school today? I did not see you...

Date: 2011-10-25 09:45 pm (UTC)
From: [identity profile] a-gentle-boy.livejournal.com
Oh, no. You should really pay more attention to the things that happen around town. People've been making calls all day.

Date: 2011-10-25 09:48 pm (UTC)
From: [identity profile] badend-replay.livejournal.com
mi? Calls? About what?

Date: 2011-10-25 09:50 pm (UTC)
From: [identity profile] a-gentle-boy.livejournal.com
The television show from yesterday, of course. People think aliens are coming.

[Lucas laughs a little as he clears up the last of the uprooted flowers.]

It's silly, but it would just be stupid not to be careful, right?

Date: 2011-10-25 09:52 pm (UTC)
From: [identity profile] badend-replay.livejournal.com
Aliens? ... mm, yes. It would be very silly not to be careful.

So that is why you stayed away from school today?

There were a lot of people this morning complaining about something strange going on, too. I'm not sure what it was, exactly, but it seems like they've been made to think there are imposters in town.

Action 2!

[It wasn't hard to put together that the pods and changes of behavior in the townspeople were related, so Rainbow Dash's plan of attack was smashing open those pods.

Not knowing Lucas is inside, she raises one of her back hooves and cracks that pod open like an egg.

A very gross, gooey egg. Yuck.]

Date: 2011-10-25 10:22 pm (UTC)
From: [identity profile] a-gentle-boy.livejournal.com
[There is a familiar looking green-haired boy in the pod. .....Wait no that's just the slime; Lucas splutters as the air begins to seep into the pod.]

W-What... What's all of this ooze?

Date: 2011-10-25 10:26 pm (UTC)
From: [identity profile] badend-replay.livejournal.com
Imposters? Nihahaha! It would be funny if I turned out to be one such imposter, wouldn't it?

Date: 2011-10-25 10:29 pm (UTC)
From: [identity profile] a-gentle-boy.livejournal.com
...

Haha! With a laugh like that, I wouldn't be too surprised...

Date: 2011-10-25 10:33 pm (UTC)
From: [identity profile] badend-replay.livejournal.com


Nihaha. I don't know what you mean! I always laugh this way. You know that.

From: [identity profile] a-gentle-boy.livejournal.com
Really? But we just met last week. Well, I guess I wasn't paying much attention to you.

[He doesn't apologize.]

Date: 2011-10-26 12:50 am (UTC)
From: [identity profile] badend-replay.livejournal.com
m-mi..

W-well then, Lucas... I suppose, I should not overstay my welcome.

Action 3

Date: 2011-10-26 02:06 am (UTC)
From: [identity profile] gezellighe.livejournal.com
[Of course, once he's recovered enough from being in a pod and parted ways with Nina, he'll be checking on those most important to him. On the way is Lucas' house, and he's definitely hearing some worrying sounds. He's still got his hammer, so he'll approach cautiously, using a car parked on the street for some cover.

. . . he's still covered in slime. Great.]

Date: 2011-10-26 03:03 am (UTC)
From: [identity profile] a-gentle-boy.livejournal.com
Oh, you shouldn't worry about that. I wouldn't have talked to you at all if I didn't have a lot of patience for that kind of thing. But if you have to go, I'll see you later!

Date: 2011-10-26 03:11 am (UTC)
From: [identity profile] foalingaround.livejournal.com
[Guess who wasn't expecting a person to come out of that pod.

This pony right here.

Rainbow Dash leaps back, startled, before finally recognizing Lucas.]


K-kid? What the hay were you doing in there?!

Oh wow. I've met some pretty crappy pretenders today but you're not even bothering to really try, are you?
