[ She looks pleasantly surprised to hear from him! ]

Hey. Yeah, still checking things out, you know.

[cuff]

[ Hah, success - making friends, he's totally capable. ]

Think that's kinda one of those never ending things. All the comin and goin and shit'll be different tomorrow.

[coppelganger]

Yeah, guess so. I went down to the imPort school a few days ago, checked out the library and shit? Didn't find too much info, though.

[ aka "I hate school and being in the library made me want to go take a nap so I left after five minutes like a Responsible Adult" ]

[cuff]

The, uh- school for the kids with powers? Dunno if I should be surprised or not that they've got their own library. Like the government'd go and try to deprive 'em of books.

[ Not that Ray knows anything about schools. Or being in school. Or getting good grades. ]

[coppelganger]

[ Yeahhhh, ditto. Look, they have so much in common! ]

Yeah, I just thought if I was gonna find shit about this universe it'd be there. But then I realized I don't even know what I'm looking for, anyway.

[cuff]

[ You've got a friiiend in me~ no actually there should be some hideous ABBA song right here but shhh. ]

What, you think they popped out a book to answer all our questions about the universe, time travel, and everything in between? Think they'd stuff something in there on alien abduction, too?

[coppelganger]

[ She laughs, kind of embarrassed. ]

Piss off. I know it was stupid.

[cuff]

Hey, 'parently I was abducted once. Never know what they could throw in round here.

[ Don't mind him grinning like a dork though. He's not reaaallly trying to be a dick. ]

[coppelganger]

What, so you don't remember?

[cuff]

According to Mr. Mountie's School of Hypnosis, no. But i'm banking he's full of it on that one.

[coppelganger]

[ She frowns, confused. ]

I don't get it.

[cuff]

It was a case one time, he hypnotized all of us. [ Well. ] Three of us. Cause we couldn't get the story straight. Figured he'd come up with the right answer somehow at the end of it.

Just threw in that i'd been abducted afterward. Probably just thought i'd been, who knows.

[coppelganger]

... Right.

[ Whatever you say, man. ]

[cuff]

[ Uuughgroan, why don't you believe hiiim, his hard life. ] Unconvinced, huh.

[coppelganger]

I don't know. You'd be surprised what I might believe.

[ I mean, she is a clone. But alien abduction is still pretty damn weird. ]

[cuff]

[ Oh ho, now there's an interesting comment. He narrows his gaze a bit, intrigued. ]

Like what? Everybody's got a story around here.

[coppelganger]

And yours is aliens?

[ Because why talk about me when we can talk about you instead? ]

[cuff]

[ You'll have to try harder than that, he interrogates convicts for a living. Not that he's going to push it or anything; people's business is their business. ]

Hey- mine isnt aliens. It's a whole buncha other stuff.

[coppelganger]

Yeah? Like what.

[cuff]

I dunno. Pick anything, just not aliens.

[coppelganger]

Monsters?

[cuff]

Nah, not the real kind. Had a ghost ship once, but didn't have any real ghosts on it. Just pirates.

[coppelganger]

Pirates, no shit?

[ She's totally picturing the "shiver me timbers" kind with peg legs basically straight out of Pirates of the Caribbean, don't mind her. ]

[cuff]

[ If only his life were that exciting. But he totally does not get the message here, so he... fails to dissuade her from the stunning mental imagery. No Davy Jones here, but Ray would be so much more excited if that were the case.

Maybe not. ]

Yes, shit. Cranky old pirates, kidnapping boats, scaring the piss outta other sailors.

[coppelganger]

So what'd you do, then?
