Not evented, because intro. THIS MAY LOOK FAMILIAR.

[ofsexandwar]

[Once again the DR is treated to the sight of a Marlick striding down the corridors of the DR in a suit, looking irritable with a Ryou in their wake. Except this one is in a skirt and heels, with the figure to match. (Should you, uh. Look. She now has a nametag that says "Hello, my name is Luna!" next to her lapel

*A suit... how snazzy. Someone who might look spooookily familiar is lounging on a nearby bench.*

Going somewhere?

lily-mun has a busy day but she's going to jump in the thread when she can <3

[ofsexandwar]

[Glancing over, her eyes narrow. She approaches Space with a nod to Lily to stay where she is.]

Not at this rate, I'm afraid. Are you - from this area?

[This is really unnerving and not at all what she needs to deal with right now, but she'll smirk and bear it.]

okaay

[darkblackspace]

No. I know my way around by now, though. Are you lost?

*Seems completely unconcerned by the resemblance, if she's even noticed it at all. 8)*

[ofsexandwar]

[Did someone set this up? Or perhaps it's a coincidence. Was she given false directions on purpose....but she can't see any of her known enemies coming up with a scheme that involved finding someone who looked like her.]

Not exactly. Just - received misinformation, I believe.

[Another wary glance about. She's positive this building wasn't so large from the outside, but how can that be?]

[darkblackspace]

*Yes, I clearly exist only to vex you.*

That happens. People never mean to end up here.

Aren't you going to ask?

[ofsexandwar]

[Lovely. Cryptic nonsense. How well she remembers it from her youth.]

If you're guessing I have a question, why not just answer? Spares us both the trouble.

[darkblackspace]

*But cryptic nonsense is so much fun. :(*

I was hoping you'd pick just one. But if you're leaving it up to me, I guess I'll start with "No, there's no exit".

[ofsexandwar]

[That it is, and Luna knows well. Instead for her it's things called "euphemisms".]

You'll pardon me if I find that a little hard to believe.

And begging another answer.

How.

[darkblackspace]

*Infuriatingly (she hopes) nonchalant shrug.*

How should I know? I can't leave, either.

I don't care if you don't believe me, I just thought I'd spare you the wasted hours. Since we're the same.

[ofsexandwar]

[She'll give you "irritatingly", but only because her nerves are already a little tightly wound.]

So I've noticed.

If my time's so precious, perhaps a full explanation is in order. Then some directions, and I'll be on my way.

[She should skip straight to the directions. But she doubts she'd get them that way.]

[darkblackspace]

*Aww phooey. :(*

You're pretty demanding, you know that?

A full explanation... A full explanation... Alright.

You're not where you mean to be, and you can't go back. Is that clearer?

*Yes that instantly explains everything.*

*Sighs.*

Maybe you should just take a look through the door you came through. I don't think you're smart enough to get it any other way...

[ofsexandwar]

[A dry little chuckle. She can't believe she's tempted to actually take your word for this.]

Or I'm smart enough not to believe what just anyone tells me. Though my reaction doesn't surprise you, I hope you'll forgive my suspicion anyway.

[She takes a step backwards, almost turning, but doesn't want to turn her back on you.]

While we're cooperating, could I have your name?

[darkblackspace]

I guess I'll forgive you.

*I'm soooo dangerous. The dress I'm wearing is way too cute for the underground, really.*

How rude. It's Malik.

[ofsexandwar]

[She's thinking you might be a diversion, if you're anything. This isn't a coincidence, but it's also too absurd to be a setup.]

Really?

[Reaching into her jacket, she produces a business card with "Marica Ishtar, Second Chance Dueling" written on it, as well as an Eye of Wdjat and some phone numbers. In Arabic it is "Malikah", but she has an impression to make. Gotta be fancy.]

It seems you're off a few letters. I suppose you can explain the resemblance regardless?

[darkblackspace]

*Reaches for the card.*

Nice.

Like I said, we're the same. I mean... You're me. I'm you. That's all there is to it, really.

*Scratches chin. >:?*

I'm not sure why our names are different. The only other us I've seen was, um... Malikah.

lily's back now so she'll be playing too :3

[ofsexandwar]

[Claiming she's not following the other girl would open herself up to more digs at her intelligence, and Luna doesn't really feel like going there right now. So she'll nod and think over what this might mean, but she's discarded the idea that it's a trick.]

Well, distinguishing should be easy, then.

I don't suppose there are other Ryokos, as well?

[She gestures to the girl behind her.]
