004 ⇨ they wear our faces with no souls

[the Mae that looks back at the screen is...different. serious, almost too serious - almost empty. clearly a clone, but if it's not clear, then the words should be.]

Mavis is grounded. Don't bother calling.

[ooc; Clone!Mae locked the real Mae inside her empty closet because she refused to clean it. Erp.]

Well, that is just as well! [>8( How dare you mess with his real sister, evil Mae!] But grounding her? What makes you think you're allowed to tell everyone what to do? It isn't like you're any older!

[Pause.] ... Are you? Do clones age, or are you secretly robots as well?

[enterpainment]

[That stops him cold.] ... There were circumstances.

[brobeforehos.livejournal.com]

[enterpainment]

... How long are you grounding her for?

[brobeforehos.livejournal.com]

[enterpainment]

So, what, you'll just keep her locked in her room? [Trying to find out so he can launch a VALIANT RESCUE attempt, but hey...]

[brobeforehos.livejournal.com]

Perhaps.

[enterpainment]

Perhaps? Aren't disciplinary actions the sort of thing you should be sure about?

O OOPS THE RED FONT

IT'S OKAY I ASSUMED IT WAS STILL EVIL MAE LMAO

[enterpainment]

Well-- fine! Then I'll find her myself!

[brobeforehos.livejournal.com]

[enterpainment]

Yes, even with chores undone! Because-- I don't take orders from a clone who isn't actually my sister, even if she looks like her! [DO YOU HEAR THIS STOMPING. It is the stomping of an angry-- well, irritated-- Jamie Crawford, coming to find clone-Mae. The real Jamie, of course, because god knows what his clone is doing right now.

Jamie told him to clean the bathroom, but he's probably just staring blankly at a wall somewhere.]

[Clone-Mae is waiting :|]

[enterpainment]

[It's going to be a stand-off. Like in those old Western movies :|

... yep, metaphorical tumbleweeds and all. Anyway, Jamie does find clone-Mae and proceeds to glare at her. Except it's Jamie, so it's most likely not very intimidating.]

I don't want to hurt you. This can all be resolved in a completely violence-free way if you just tell me where my real sister is.

[brobeforehos.livejournal.com]

[Not even a blink.]

[enterpainment]

All right, but that isn't really specific in terms of where you put her!

... Unless you buried her underground. [HE IS SQUINTING AT YOU. ... You're not that evil, are you?]

[brobeforehos.livejournal.com]

[she's not heartless!]

[enterpainment]

... Then why don't you just tell me where she is and then we can both get on with the housework? Two people is better than one! [Frown.] I suppose it's three people, really, but I'm not sure my clone counts. Maybe he can count as half a person.

[enterpainment]

[Really, evil Mae. Really.] If that's the case, I'm an usurper, too. Consider yourself usurped!

[... theoretically. The usurping is a work-in-progress.]

[brobeforehos.livejournal.com]

[enterpainment]

Well, I think so. [And so Jamie will attempt to push past clone-Mae to get to Mae's room. If only he weren't such a flimsy teenage boy.]

[brobeforehos.livejournal.com]

[she grabs his arm - tight.]

[enterpainment]

... Ow! That is uncalled for! I was only trying to walk in a generally straight direction! [... ow ow ow why does he have no muscle. Still, he tries to shake her off.]

[brobeforehos.livejournal.com]

[enterpainment]

[Squirm squirm squirm JAMIE WILL GET OUT OF THIS PREDICAMENT, HE SWEARS.] No, I won't stop! Not until we get some things straight. And one of those things happens to be that it is very wrong to discipline people when they don't deserve it.
