Puzzle 010
[Action - Around town, morning.]
[It's 11 o' clock, do you know where your puzzle shotas are?
Certainly not at school, it seems. Doppleganger!Luke's walking around Mayfield munching on a burger. After eating it, he'll crumble up the wrapper and toss it on the ground.]
This place sure is boring...
[Passing by a toy shop, Luke grins to himself and scoops up a rock. He'll wait until a little drone boy walks out of the shop before chucking the rock right at the kid's head. The kid stumbles before running off, leaving a bag full of toys behind. Score! Luke takes a moment to examine the bag.]
Just puzzles? Hmpf, is there anything actually good in here? Baseball cards would be nice.
[And he will just be helping himself to that bag of toys, dumping its contents on the sidewalk as he looks through them.]
[Action 2 - Pod]
[There was a pod here.
It's gone now.
Oh no wait, it's still here. A small, child-sized pod seems to be attached to one of the park benches. And even more suspicious, Luke's robot dog Gizmo is barking wildly and pawing at the pod. Check it out?]
[ooc: The initial rescue will be done by the Riddler, Ema, and Clod! Threadjacks by dopplegangers and Luke's CR are welcome!]
[Action 3 - Right outside of 726 Anderson, late afternoon after rescue.]
[Luke, after being freed from the pod, has managed to make it safely back home. While he's still dripping with pod goo, he's unharmed except for being really dazed and groggy. As it was explained to him, a lot of people including himself were captured by pods and had doubles of them running around all day.
But at least that's over, right? At least he hoped. He was way too tired to deal with doubles and killer vegetation, not to mention he needed a bath too.
Right as he's about to head inside the house, he spots his doppleganger waiting for him out of the corner of his eye. Luke spins around, wide-eyed in shock.]
So you finally showed up, loser.
Y-you! You're one of the doubles that's been running around!
[The doppleganger rolls his eyes.]
Brilliant deduction, genius. And you've got it wrong. You're the double, not me.
You liar, drop the act! I don't know what you are or what you're supposed to be, but if you think I'm going to let you parade around as me then think again!
Is that so? Try and stop me then.
[And doppleganger!Luke throws a punch right at the real Luke's face. A true gentleman doesn't resort to violence, but Luke's spent hours stuck in a gooey pod and now this fake is attacking him, so the gloves are off. Luke lunges at his doppleganger and seconds later, the two Lukes are wrestling around on the front lawn, kicking and punching one another.]
