One nice thing about being able to duplicate yourself is the fact that moving furniture from one location to another is usually a well coordinated effort.
Usually.
The paranoid duplicate spent more time coming up with conspiracy theories about how the Beyonder was to blame or that the Illumanati consider Jamie and Laya a threat and sent them here instead of another planet and...
Well he was holding things up so Jamie absorbed him and created another duplicate who seemed to obsessed with pudding. Which was marginally less annoying than the conspiracy theories but at least this dupe could moved boxed furniture while he talked.
It wasn't until he got back to the farm that he realized that the furniture assembly instructions were written in Russian.
Badly translated Russian.
Which made it worse when Jamie, who was bad at Russian to begin with, translated it back into English again.
"Insert bolt joe into rutabaga towel."
The duplicate looked over his should and frowned. "You know what we need? More pudding."
This could take a while.
