[ A - Action - 912 Bilko Boulevard - noonish ]

[Yeah, uh, cue Izumo staring at the TV with disbelief and indignation. She got to it a little late, considering it's Saturday and she loves sleeping late whenever possible.]

That's ridiculous. I'm right here!

[ B - Phone - afternoon ]I'm not even going to waste my breath. If you're stupid enough to

[Not!Mom is peering at Izumo from around a corner, unsure of what to do. Did they really replace her? This felt so awkward...]

[bittybrows]

[Sup, not!mom? Izumo, legs crossed on the couch, doesn't notice her at first. She's just. Staring at the TV. Her eyes may be a little red from crying after waking up from that terrible dream...]

[But then she gets that prickle at the back of her neck that you get when you're being watched, and turns.]

Aurora-san? [Awkward pause as she glances at the TV.] Don't tell me you're stupid enough to have believed it.

[forever_cheery]

N-No! I...[She hides a bit more behind the door, so mostly all you can see is eyes and hair.] It's just... How can I be sure?

[bittybrows]

sorry, I didn't get a notif for this D:

[There's a strange feeling in her stomach when she realizes that Aurora seems afraid of her.]

You said yourself this town does horrible things, didn't you?

[She unconsciously grips the edge of the sofa harder.]

[noluckduck]

[Yep, she's picking that up and taking a peek. And even before she could really register what she was looking at...] Oh Jesus, were ya tryin' to summon some kinda hellbeast?

[bittybrows]

[Izumo freezes. Then she turns, walks the few steps back, and makes to icily snatch the paper out of Clover's hands.]

Familiars. Though it's really none of your business.

[There's a bandaid on her thumb. 8|]

[noluckduck]

[Clo just lets her take it.]

It is my fuckin' business if you're plannin' on bringin' some murderous dogs here. [... Also, staring at that bandaid.]

[bittybrows]

Foxes. And they're not murderous.

It's not like it worked, anyway.

[kinships]

Do you have some solid proof the replacements aren't... actually replacements?

[bittybrows]

Have you ever met a drone that wasn't totally sickeningly pleasant and happy?

[kinships]

No, but... you would say that, you're one of them.

[bittybrows]

Yes. Obviously, I'm part of the sane percentage.

B

[callinblueskies]

...No. I'm not a replacement.

[But oh has he been hearing about it all day.]

[bittybrows]

Duh. I heard your name on the list.

[callinblueskies]

Well then why ask??

[bittybrows]

It was a rhetorical question, moron.
