I wish I had an evil twin
*Teru thought this was the Flight Room. He even heard the giant fan whirring inside. But when he enters - suddenly there are two of him, apparently identical. One of them turns and looks apprehensively at the other, who rolls his eyes.*
Yes, we still look the same. I thought we were over the whole 'what if I'm secretly evil' thing?
...sorry. I'm ( Read more... )

Suddenly, there were two. On the right there was a dirt-covered, scrawny version of himself. Not quite the way he looked when he first arrived; it was the image of himself that he imagined when he had no choice but to think of his situation. Lying on the floor, hands and feet tied behind his back, with every white part of his body now tainted with brown. The wretched figure breathed heavily, staring at the floor with a tired and desperate expression.
"We’re going to die," he said in a gruff, dry, voice. It was chilling to hear, leaving a terrible sound ringing in the air. "This respite won’t last forever."
"We won’t," said a voice from the left. In contrast to the one on the ground, this one was standing with his arms and feet bound. He was clean and full, still white and pure ( ... )

I mind. We're giving up that shit. *To Near,* They exist. I'm mostly good with integrating runic systems into programming, but - yeah, it exists. We're good at it.

Not to mention that his calmer side was losing the battles, one by one. He chose to change the subject.
"So far, we've been keeping hydrated and sounding words out carefully. It's worked - our speaking is better, if not still hoarse."
"Was there magic in the world you came from?" he asked. If 'magic' couldn't be brought over, then it would be a waste of time.

But it's worked in two of the three we've been in, which is something.

He looked over to where his other self was sitting, hunched and weak. "We don't have much time left to doubt."

In any case, building yourself up physically is probably a good idea. If you work on that, and I try to find something that'll keep you like that if you go back...
If we go into the corridor we can see what your condition is like. Up to you.

"I can go into the corridor." He nodded towards the other Near. "He may need assistance, if you could."

Will you be able to talk, when we get out of here?

He didn't want to fall. His hands had a slight tremble of fear. If he fell, he might shatter - what then? There would be nothing left but a broken trophy, how sad. What a shame.
He shut his eyes. Meanwhile, his double addressed the other Matt's question.
"A little. We cannot talk for long... it hurts to speak too much. Would it be a problem?" Near was never really known to accommodate other people's preferences, but he would if it was necessary.

We'll find some paper or something. Unless you think we've figured out as much as we can, for now? You could come find us if you need us.

A pause, and then he added, "Could you at least escort us to the exit? I cannot carry him."

It's not real. It's like when we met Kira-Near.
It still means something bad happened inside him.

"He is a different version," the standing Near reminded. "He's not the same, think logically and calm down." He shifted as best he could to address the young man properly. "I was captured by Kira. He's kept me captive for a long time, hence my appearance."
"Don't tell him!" The defeated Near jerked where he lay.

Oh, now you've set him off.
Teru, he's hurt! And we helped.
Reply
"Why do you believe him?" He struggled to look up at Teru. "He was the one who trapped us!"
The defiant Near ignored the protest. "You're different. That's only logical to believe, because this mansion holds others that are not the same person we know."

And we couldn't do much to you anyway, we're nine.
That isn't helpful. *He starts trying to untie Near.*
