Where am I...?

Matt glanced around nervously.  He'd never been here before, and wasn't sure of where exactly he was.  He sat up, brushing his auburn bangs from his face, and adjusted his orange-tinted goggles.

"Lesee," he muttered to himself, "I was out on my rounds, and then I suddenly passed out..."  He checked his wallet, to be sure he hadn't been

[Mattie emerged from a room some ways down the hallway with short, mussed red hair, skinny jeans, and a somewhat baggy shirt with white and light blue stripes; she was barefoot as she started down the hallway toward her doppelganger, headed for the kitchen.]

Oh, hi. Got a smoke? [She'd left her pack of cigarettes in the room, and seeing another version of herself just made her crave a little nicotine. She blinked at him with clear blue eyes; she'd also left her goggles in the room, figuring that the mansion hallways were dim enough to not hurt her eyes.]

[ivi477]

Matt was a bit dumbstruck to see a much more... feminine version of himself, but decided to not question a possibly good thing as he drew another cigarette from his pocket.

"Here you are, hon." he said with a grin.

[nowhere_to_grow]

[She took a step back, staring at him. He didn't really... did he? she thought, but the shit-eating grin on his face said, as plain as day, that he did. She took the cigarette, watching him carefully as her hand remained held out.

She gave him a look.] Lighter?

[ivi477]

Though Matt noticed that look on her face, he remained positive. He pulled out his lighter and flicked it open, lighting the end of the cigarette. "There you go~"

[nowhere_to_grow]

[Mattie obviously needed to be aware of this one. He seemed like he had something up his sleeve.

Either that or he was new. Or stupid. Each possibility was likely, but she liked to think that no version of herself could be outright idiotic. As long as he doesn't come out and hit on me... That would have been creepy. She bent forward, lighting her smoke and taking a drag as she looked him up and down.]

You go by Matt, right?

[ivi477]

"Yep, that's me." he said with a smile. "What's your name?"

He was also tempted to ask why this girl looked so much like him, but he wasn't inclined to possibly get smacked. He knew women got touchy about strange things like that.

[nowhere_to_grow]

[Somehow, she managed not to snicker. Were the boy versions of her always so naive? Nah, it just meant he was new.]

I'm Mattie. I'm you, but from another dimension. This place... does that. [She smiled softly as she took another drag from her cigarette.]

[ivi477]

Matt raised an eyebrow. "Really now~?"

Alternate dimensions. Like in Kingdom Hearts. Got it.

"Well, it's nice to know I make a beautiful woman." he said with a nod.

[nowhere_to_grow]

[Down, boy. Mattie gave him a lazy eye roll as she shifted her weight from one foot to the other; just because she wasn't a virgin anymore didn't mean she was all right with random boys hitting on her.

And wasn't flirting with her something similar to incest? Ew.]

For starters, we're gonna have to- [She made a waving gesture with her hand, cigarette and all.] Not. Do that. Anymore. That flirting thing. Yeah, no more.

[Could the situation be any more awkward? No, it didn't seem likely.]

[ivi477]

There was a pause, then Matt let out a small laugh. "Come on now; I just said you looked good. I don't flirt with strange women, so cool your jets there..."

He took a quick drag from his cigarette before extinquishing it on the sole of his boot.

[nowhere_to_grow]

Still. [It was obvious that she didn't quite believe him, but she wasn't going to push it.] I'm just not used to someone who looks so much like me being so... charismatic. [It was slightly off-putting, and it made her want another drag. So she took one.]

Guess I'm just new to the whole flirting scene.

[ivi477]

"'Charismatic'? That's a new one, but alright~" he replied with another grin. "Well, I'll try my best not to make you feel awkward."

[nowhere_to_grow]

[Too late, she couldn't help thinking, watching him closely as she finished off her cigarette. She dropped it on the carpet and gestured to it.] You mind? [Her feet were still bare.]

[ivi477]

"Nah, it's cool." He replied, stomping it out. "So, what's your... dimension like?"

[nowhere_to_grow]

The usual, from what I've heard from others so far. Orphaned young, grew up at Wammy's and met Mello.

I was actually on my way to meet the twat in LA and help him with a case when I got kidnapped here, right off the plane. [She nodded appreciatively when he stomped out the fag.]

[ivi477]

"'Case', huh? I guess your Mello got to be a detective after all..." Matt said, smiling. "Kinda sucks getting kidnapped off a plane, though. You know why we're here, anyway?"
