CLONES

[fauxpromise.livejournal.com]

[In a darker hall of the dressing room, filled with dust bunnies and cobwebs stands this replica, currently examining the area. He's looked through the doors, many of the being rooms either empty or complete messes. However, the one he's just discovered is quite full... of cloning equipment. Large test tubes span the area, while papers, perhaps notes, are scattered on the ground. Most of the tubes are empty, but a few contain specimens, some incomplete and appearing much like fetuses... others resembling Rikus.

He looks a bit puzzled.]

[ don't mind him coming up behind "Riku", eyes narrowed. ]

This place is disgusting.

[fauxpromise.livejournal.com]

You've got that right.

[he glances back at his duplicate... huh. Weird hair.]

What's the point in making clones of me, anyway?

[copied-heart.livejournal.com]

[This kitten just loves wandering around. It's pawing at the scattered debris on the floor, before looking up at the contents of the tubes.]

[fauxpromise.livejournal.com]

[...it's a cat. What.]

[copied-heart.livejournal.com]

[Blinks up at Riku.

Then sits on his foot :>]

[fauxpromise.livejournal.com]

[...buh why. Just...stares at the cat. Why so on his foot? 8c]

[copied-heart.livejournal.com]

[Cause this means it likes you. It sat on a Roxas' boot too.]

[withoutage.livejournal.com]

Easy to manipulate.

[ peers at one of the fetus-like things. ]

[fauxpromise.livejournal.com]

So? There's no way a fake can stand up to the Real Thing.

[fauxpromise.livejournal.com]

[...guhhh. He'll. Attempt to pet it.]

[copied-heart.livejournal.com]

[Kitx likes the petting! Her tail is moving lazily. Meanwhile, that's gonna be frantic footsteps. Someone keeps losing their pet >>]

[withoutage.livejournal.com]

What if the fake thinks it is the "Real Thing"?

[ strolls along slowly, eyes passing over each of the incomplete clones. ]

[fauxpromise.livejournal.com]

[Well okay then. Continues to pet, eventually glancing back to the source of the steps]

[fauxpromise.livejournal.com]

They'd have to be pretty dense to think that.

[copied-heart.livejournal.com]

Kiiitx! Don't wander off like that!

[Oh hi, Riku. Worried Xi is worried.]

[withoutage.livejournal.com]

Not when there's someone messing with their memories. I know, I've been through it all.

[fauxpromise.livejournal.com]

Memories, huh? Like Castle Oblivion?

[fauxpromise.livejournal.com]

[...oh. It's that girl.]

This your cat?

[withoutage.livejournal.com]

Namine.

[ puts a hand on one of the tubes, staring at the face of the very Riku-like being behind the glass. ]

[fauxpromise.livejournal.com]

... Namine would never do something like that, even if she could!

[copied-heart.livejournal.com]

Yeah. That's her.

[Takes back the kitten, who gives a small mewl.]

[fauxpromise.livejournal.com]

Weird.

[oh well. Just continues to stare at the tubes]

[withoutage.livejournal.com]

[ smiles bitterly, not looking over at him. ]

Well I guess that answers the question of which you are. Namine is a Nobody with power over Sora's memories and the memories of everyone connected to him.

[copied-heart.livejournal.com]

What are....

[Notices the tubes.]

[fauxpromise.livejournal.com]

What are you talking about? Namine isn't a witch. She grew up with us on the islands.
