Mia was confused. She didn't recognize this room or know how she'd gotten here. The chair and the desk were way too big for her, and the computer... well, that looked ancient or like it belonged on a backwater planet. "Hello?"

A big friendly dog in the room raised its head and got up to walk over and sniff her. Mia rubbed its ears and looked at the collar and identification tag. "Isabel? Your name is Isabel?" The dog seemed to like this and tried to lick her face. She laughed and turned her face away, then went for the door.

The room outside seemed deserted too. "Is anybody there? Mom? Dad?"

	"You can have a twin whenever you want?!" Mia sounded excited and almost jealous. "That's so astral!" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"I can have more than that," Jamie said. As he spoke, he absorbed the dupe. It was gone in a matter of seconds and Isabel looked around a little confused as to where the Jamie she'd been playing with went. "That's so astral?" He laughed. "You're so weird!" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"You can?" She blinked as Jamie absorbed the dupe. "Where'd he go? What happened to him?" Mia made a slightly angry pouty face. "I'm not weird! Everyone says that where I'm from. You're the one who was calling me an alien. Aliens are Bothans and Wookiees and stuff, not humans. Everyone knows that." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

"I absorbed him," Jamie said matter-of-factly. "I can't just have my dupes walking around all the time. People have to think I'm normal." He didn't exactly know why. Well. Mostly it was to avoid people fearing or hating him. But he didn't think that was a good reason to hide his powers.

"I think you are weird. But I didn't say that was bad. At least you're not boring." He added quickly, "We should look for food."

	"But what happened to him after you did that? Is he inside you?" Mia shrugged a little. "Everyone wants to be normal. But that's really cool, what you can do." She still had a small scowl but it lessened. "Yeah, I'm really hungry. Come on, doggy." She started to head for the hallway, Isabel waiting for Jamie. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"I don't know." Jamie shrugged lightly. "I guess he's kinda inside me." He snerked. That sounded dirty. "Thanks." No one had called his power cool before. Jamie followed her out into the hallways, looking around a lot. This place was an office, it seemed. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"But you can make him appear again?" Mia was looking around too, so she didn't notice his smirk. "If we were kidnapped, we'd be in a cell or something. We wouldn't be able to walk around." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	_multiplicity 2008-01-16 04:35 am UTC (link)
	"Yeah. I can make a bunch of dupes at once, if I want." "Maybe," Jamie said, thinking it as he was going along, "They got sloppy. Or messed up. Maybe my dupes and I overpowered the kidnappers and they ran away and left us here?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	miaj 2008-01-16 04:39 am UTC (link)
	"Really? How many?" She had that scrunched up face again. "If you did it, why do you sound confused? Wouldn't you remember?" Mia was looking into rooms and then stopped. "Hey! This looks like a kitchen." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	_multiplicity 2008-01-16 04:44 am UTC (link)
	"At least ten." This Jamie hadn't trained hard, so he didn't know his limitations. "Maybe I got knocked out and am suffering temporary amnesia. Ever thought of that?" He grinned. The kitchen was nicely set up. "Weird office to have a kitchen. Wonder if the food's any good." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	miaj 2008-01-16 05:05 am UTC (link)
	"There can be ten of you??" Mia thought that was incredibly awesome. She frowned and almost said that was stupid, but she didn't remember getting here either. "Why would someone kidnap us? We're not even from the same planet." She looked around before going to the fridge and pulling it open. "Whoa, there's lots of stuff in here!" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	_multiplicity 2008-01-16 05:09 am UTC (link)
	"At least." Jamie was grinning brightly. He liked Mia. "I don't know why people kidnap innocent kids. I'm not an evil bad guy who likes to steal kids." He walked behind Mia and stuck his head inside the fridge. He pulled out a tub of peanut butter and chocolate sauce. His parents weren't around, so he could go wild.

	Mia was amazed. She was smiling back at him. "Can you do it now? Can you do it anytime? You could be friends with them if you get lonely on the farm." "What are you gonna do with those?" she asked curiously, still standing in front of the fridge with the door open. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

"Yeah. I can do it whenever. They're my only friends." He said it quickly, not realizing how dorky that sounded until it was out of his mouth. He tried to let it slide, hoping she wouldn't comment.

"Eat?" Jamie fetched a spoon, searching through drawers until he got one. Then he squirted some chocolate into the peanut butter and dipped the spoon inside. "I'm not really that hungry," he said, stuffing his mouth.

	His only friends? That sounded a little sad. "I'll be your friend," she offered brightly. She watched him and then made a face. "Ewll, that's so gross." Then she pulled some bread out of the fridge and went to get a butter knife. "I want to make a sandwich out of that." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Jamie liked the sound of that. "Okay," he said, kinda glad she hadn't really pushed or made fun of him for not really having friends. Jamie decided that Mia was pretty cool. Especially for a girl. "It's really good." He made a face. "With bread? Nasty." He was laughing. "Try it straight from the tub," he offered the spoon to Mia. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	miaj 2008-01-16 05:32 am UTC (link)
	She smiled at him. He wasn't so bad for being from a farm and being stuck on-planet his whole life. "I make something like this at home and tell my parents I had a sandwich." But she still went over and took the spoon from him, dipped it in, and put a big spoonful in her mouth. The peanut butter was sticking to her mouth but it tasted so good.

	"See? Not gross." He seemed very proud of himself over something so small. He got his spoon back and continued to stuff his face, rather rudely. "So what are we gonna do?" He asked, looking around the kitchen. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

"It is gross, but it's good at the same time," she laughed.

"I'm still hungry." She pulled over a chair and rummaged around in some cupboards until she found a box of crackers and began to munch. She sat on the counter, letting her legs swing free. "We can explore and see if there's anyone else here. Or we can play on one of the computers and try to call our parents."

	Jamie hopped onto a stool beside Mia. He continued eating his pb and chocolate. "I don't think anybody's around." He took a deep breath and then shouted, very loud, "ANYBODY AROUND?" He waited for a minute. "Nope." He shrugged. "Let's try exploring. We're in an office. It looks like something from tv," he nodded. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	miaj 2008-01-16 05:44 am UTC (link)
	She giggled at his shouting. "If we were kidnapped that wouldn't be very smart." Mia bit into another cracker, watching the dog eat food out of her bowl in the corner. "I'm gonna bring these with me. Where should we start exploring?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	_multiplicity 2008-01-16 05:46 am UTC (link)
	"I don't know if we're kidnapped. And if we are, our kidnappers really really suck." Jamie tried to think of other reasons why they'd both show up in the middle of a city in an office like this. He couldn't figure anything out. "Uh... this way." Jamie left his peanut butter on the counter and headed into the nearest room. Another office. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	miaj 2008-01-16 05:50 am UTC (link)
	"Yeah, they do," she agreed. "But even if they didn't, I bet we could get away." Mia took her crackers with her, hopped off the counter, and followed him. "These offices are boring. Who do you think works here?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	_multiplicity 2008-01-16 05:53 am UTC (link)
	"Yeah," Jamie said with a confident nod. "Me and my dupes could probably take a big guy." His plan was to stomp any kidnappers while Mia ran away, but he didn't say this out loud. It didn't seem the smart thing to say. "I don't know," he said this as he neared a filing cabinet. "Let's see what's in here." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	miaj 2008-01-16 05:59 am UTC (link)
	"I could probably take someone, though my dad says I should focus on tackling things more my size." She sounded distracted as she looked at things and followed him to the filing cabinet. "Don't you guys have datapads here?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
