[trollasteroid]: (sproutingdreams) They tell me useful things! [trollasteroid]: (sproutingdreams) -tilts her head- [trollasteroid]: (sproutingdreams) Huh? serpentsDisciple: Why did he give you roses. [trollasteroid]: (sproutingdreams) -hugs robe around herself tighter- [trollasteroid]: (sproutingdreams) I asked for them. serpentsDisciple: Why are you dressed like that.

[trollasteroid]: (sproutingdreams) -tears up- [trollasteroid]: (sproutingdreams) Don't you love me? serpentsDisciple: Show me. Prove that you're you. [trollasteroid]: (sproutingdreams) The other me is missing an arm! [trollasteroid]: (sproutingdreams) And her hair. [trollasteroid]: (sproutingdreams) She has a tattoo, too. [trollasteroid]: (sproutingdreams) -hesitates- serpentsDisciple: SHOW ME. [trollasteroid]: (sproutingdreams) I'm not sure if I can...SHE can but she's had more practice... [trollasteroid]: (sproutingdreams) -is shaking- [trollasteroid]: (sproutingdreams) Come on... [trollasteroid]: (sproutingdreams) Let's try! serpentsDisciple: -Catlin clutches her head, looking wildly back and forth between Serani and Jasmet- [trollasteroid]: (sproutingdreams) -Jasmet tenderly takes Catlin's hand- serpentsDisciple: I they, she, but Neemea said. But she wasn't- serpentsDisciple: Or was she. serpentsDisciple: -eyetwitch- [trollasteroid]: (sproutingdreams) -suddenly Catlin seems to be in a greenhouse, and can see Jasmet drawing- serpentsDisciple: ... [trollasteroid]: (sproutingdreams) -but she has short hair, and one arm is unscarred- [trollasteroid]: (sproutingdreams) -different clothes, too- [trollasteroid]: (sproutingdreams) -she looks up- [trollasteroid]: (sproutingdreams) Hello! [trollasteroid]: (sproutingdreams) Someone is there, aren't you? [trollasteroid]: (sproutingdreams) Someone not a plant? [trollasteroid]: (sproutingdreams) Did you send me the message? [trollasteroid]: (sproutingdreams) You don't feel like me... serpentsDisciple: YOU! FAKE! IMPOSTOR! MINE! SHE'S MINE! LIAR! [trollasteroid]: (sproutingdreams) -another girl in a turtleneck and khakis enters the greenhouse. She looks younger. The scene fades- [trollasteroid]: (sproutingdreams) The other me isn't...with the other you. serpentsDisciple: ...Looks just like you. But different. [trollasteroid]: (sproutingdreams) Happier. serpentsDisciple: Hehehe. Their disguises aren't so great. [trollasteroid]: (sproutingdreams) The plants like her, too. But they like her and me equal. [trollasteroid]: (sproutingdreams) But she's the same. We feel the same to the plants. serpentsDisciple: That can't be. She's not you. You're you. [trollasteroid]: (sproutingdreams) -looks doubtful- serpentsDisciple: -clutches Jasmet tightly- [trollasteroid]: (sproutingdreams) Maybe the solution is... [trollasteroid]: (sproutingdreams) You saw the other girl? [trollasteroid]: (sproutingdreams) At the end? [trollasteroid]: (sproutingdreams) She's not a mirror. [trollasteroid]: (sproutingdreams) We shouldn't hurt anyone who's not mirrored. [trollasteroid]: (sproutingdreams) Promise! serpentsDisciple: Why. [trollasteroid]: (sproutingdreams) Serani, promise, too! serpentsDisciple: ...who cares about her, anyway. Kill them. All of them.

[trollasteroid]: (sproutingdreams) Promise me! serpentsDisciple: Don't listen to their lies. serpentsDisciple: They're just lying to you. [trollasteroid]: (sproutingdreams) This is me saying this! [trollasteroid]: (sproutingdreams) From things I've seen! [trollasteroid]: (sproutingdreams) Listen to me, Catlin! serpentsDisciple: They're cowards who are going to die. [trollasteroid]: (sproutingdreams) ... serpentsDisciple: I'M GOING TO KILL THEM ALL! Hehehe... serpentsDisciple: It'll be okay then. [trollasteroid]: (sproutingdreams) No. [trollasteroid]: (sproutingdreams) Not them all. [trollasteroid]: (sproutingdreams) Mirrors only. serpentsDisciple: Stop doing this. Disagreeing. If it wasn't for me, you'd be dead. [trollasteroid]: (sproutingdreams) ... [trollasteroid]: (sproutingdreams) Yes, Catlin. serpentsDisciple: I love you. You should listen to me. [trollasteroid]: (sproutingdreams) -sounds resigned- serpentsDisciple: I know what's best. [trollasteroid]: (sproutingdreams) Whatever you say... [trollasteroid]: (sproutingdreams) -her voice is dull- serpentsDisciple: Good. Let's go back to my room. [trollasteroid]: (sproutingdreams) ... [trollasteroid]: (sproutingdreams) But... [trollasteroid]: (sproutingdreams) Can't do any more drugs for a while. [trollasteroid]: (unbeatablplayer) Catlin, stop. [trollasteroid]: (unbeatablplayer) You have no idea what's best. serpentsDisciple: -looks suddenly over at Serani- serpentsDisciple: Shut up. serpentsDisciple: You can't have her. [trollasteroid]: (sproutingdreams) ... [trollasteroid]: (unbeatablplayer) I'm not trying to take her from you. [trollasteroid]: (sproutingdreams) -Jasmet sighs- serpentsDisciple: Well then leave us alone. serpentsDisciple: -drags Jasmet off- [trollasteroid]: (unbeatablplayer) Why should I? [trollasteroid]: (unbeatablplayer) ... [trollasteroid]: (sproutingdreams) -grabs at the door- [trollasteroid]: (sproutingdreams) Serani! serpentsDisciple: -drops Jasmet- serpentsDisciple: Don't care if your my friend. -sneers at Serani- If you touch her again, I'll kill you. [trollasteroid]: (sproutingdreams) -hits the floor- [trollasteroid]: (sproutingdreams) Ow. [trollasteroid]: (sproutingdreams) He's not... [trollasteroid]: (sproutingdreams) It's not like that, Cat! [trollasteroid]: (sproutingdreams) I can't stay with you for a while, is all! serpentsDisciple: -Picks Jasmet up and starts carrying her off again- serpentsDisciple: He's lying to you. [trollasteroid]: (sproutingdreams) -grabs at doorframe again- serpentsDisciple: He's got you totally fooled. [trollasteroid]: (sproutingdreams) You'll stick drugs in me and I'll die! [trollasteroid]: (sproutingdreams) Serani is a gog! [trollasteroid]: (sproutingdreams) Lemme go! serpentsDisciple: No! LIES! I LOVE YOU!

You're no gog. Just fancy tricks. [trollasteroid]: (sproutingdreams) -shes holding on with all her strength- [trollasteroid]: (sproutingdreams) -which is a lot- [trollasteroid]: (unbeatablplayer) What you think of me doesn't matter. serpentsDisciple: Listen to me. You have to listen. I'm the only one who can help you. You know that. [trollasteroid]: (sproutingdreams) -she's shaking- [trollasteroid]: (sproutingdreams) B-b-b-but... [trollasteroid]: (unbeatablplayer) All I want is what's best for her. Is it really so difficult to see that? serpentsDisciple: -stops the violent jerking, caresses her gently instead- serpentsDisciple: You want her. But you can't have her. [trollasteroid]: (sproutingdreams) -relaxes- [trollasteroid]: (sproutingdreams) -hugs Catlin- serpentsDisciple: You're wrong. I'll help her. serpentsDisciple: You'll see. [trollasteroid]: (sproutingdreams) ...help me hurt people... [trollasteroid]: (sproutingdreams) ...like you... [trollasteroid]: (sproutingdreams) ...don't want that... serpentsDisciple: It's not possible for us to live without killing anymore. serpentsDisciple: We have to kill, or they'll kill us. [trollasteroid]: (sproutingdreams) -is crying- [trollasteroid]: (sproutingdreams) I don't want to hurt them...the mirrors. [trollasteroid]: (sproutingdreams) But we gotta!

You'll understand then, maybe. serpentsDisciple: Maybe you'll like it. serpentsDisciple: ... [trollasteroid]: (sproutingdreams) I won't. [trollasteroid]: (sproutingdreams) I'm not like you. serpentsDisciple: ...My room. We can cheer each other up. [trollasteroid]: (sproutingdreams) ...no drugs. serpentsDisciple: Fine, okay. [trollasteroid]: (sproutingdreams) Promise! [trollasteroid]: (sproutingdreams) And- [trollasteroid]: (sproutingdreams) Maybe it be better if I stayed with Serani. [trollasteroid]: (sproutingdreams) ...you give me drugs a lot. serpentsDisciple: You need them. [trollasteroid]: (sproutingdreams) They'll kill me now. [trollasteroid]: (sproutingdreams) Ask Serani! serpentsDisciple: All that stuff about killing is just lies. [trollasteroid]: (sproutingdreams) No it's not! serpentsDisciple: They don't want to you know what it's really like. [trollasteroid]: (sproutingdreams) -looks scared- serpentsDisciple: Do I look dead to you. [trollasteroid]: (sproutingdreams) Catlin, I'm staying with Serani! serpentsDisciple: No you're not. [trollasteroid]: (sproutingdreams) Yes I am! [trollasteroid]: (sproutingdreams) -looks stubborn- serpentsDisciple: You can't trust him.

They did this. [trollasteroid]: (sproutingdreams) -she's seizing- [trollasteroid]: (unbeatablplayer) You idiot! serpentsDisciple: No. This wasn't supposed to happen. Their poisons. serpentsDisciple: -Catlin gets out some medical supplies and injects het with something else- serpentsDisciple: (her) [trollasteroid]: (unbeatablplayer) Maybe you should have listened to her for once? serpentsDisciple: She's like a child. She doesn't know. Needs to learn. serpentsDisciple: Go get a stretcher. [trollasteroid]: (unbeatablplayer) She knows more than you think... [trollasteroid]: (unbeatablplayer) -leaves- serpentsDisciple: -alternately treats and gropes Jasmet- serpentsDisciple: Make you better. Don't worry.

[trollasteroid]: (sproutingdreams) You don't ask me permission a lot. serpentsDisciple: They're trying to make you hate me. [trollasteroid]: (sproutingdreams) I could never hate you. [trollasteroid]: (sproutingdreams) But I'm scared of you a bit. serpentsDisciple: Don't be. Listen. Become wise. [trollasteroid]: (sproutingdreams) Serani... serpentsDisciple: I'm not leaving you with him.

[trollasteroid]: (sproutingdreams) -they're in Catlin's room now- [trollasteroid]: (sproutingdreams) I won't do that! [trollasteroid]: (sproutingdreams) You can't make me! serpentsDisciple: I won't make you. [trollasteroid]: (sproutingdreams) You're always making me do things! serpentsDisciple: Because I love you, and you don't understand. serpentsDisciple: You will though. Don't worry. [trollasteroid]: (sproutingdreams) I. Don't. Want. To. serpentsDisciple: It doesn't matter if you want to or not. I didn't want to, either. serpentsDisciple: But you won't always feel that way. [trollasteroid]: (sproutingdreams) You didn't ask the first time we had sex! serpentsDisciple: I didn't need to. I knew you liked it. You told me you liked it. [trollasteroid]: (sproutingdreams) That's not the point!
