[Some people might be glad to find out that they're no longer fictional. Some might maturely go about the sudden news with dignity and caution. Others might dive into the opportunity to learn about the "real world" as much as they can, quickly coming to terms with their new lives. Surely, a few have taken the most rational routes possible or even found humor in their new whereabouts.

Alisha is in none of those categories.]

Someone needs to tell me wot the fuck is going on right now.

[Does she believe anything the hospital staff told her? No. Not in the least. Actually, she's of the opinion that some storm-empowered jerk is running around, using his power to change everything up, some way, somehow. At any rate, there has to be someone in this God-forsaken place that knows what's truly going on; without any way of knowing where to even begin looking for a person, she turns to mass video.]

At the very least, please tell me someone else out there doesn't believe all that hospital doctor bullshit.

[easy_a]

Uh, I can't stop anything I haven't even started. I honestly don't know wot you're going on about.

[It doesn't sit well with her that he knows about "dead probation workers", though at least it doesn't seem like he knows where Tony and Sally are "buried".]

[geminated_man]

You...

You don't remember?

Honestly? You're not fuckin' with me?

[easy_a]

No, I'm not fucking with you. Haven't fucked with you since that one night after the party.

[Finally some leeway.]

1/?

[geminated_man]

But... it's not...

But why would you...?

[geminated_man]

That... That fuckin'... Jesus, Alisha...

I guess it was just three

[geminated_man]

Well. I guess that sort of explains why you're not exactly thrilled t'see me, yeah?

Fuck.

Three's a lucky number

[easy_a]

Glad that you finally get it.

Not that it makes everything you've said make any more sense.

[She's still unnerved that he knows the others on service and about probation worker murder, but she's doing her best not to let it show.]

[geminated_man]

Fuckin' hell, Alisha.

Guess not a whole lot's changed from that day then.

D'you enjoy that? Fuckin' with blokes like that?

[easy_a]

It's not exactly your fucking business, but if you must know, I did at the time.

[Did. Past tense. Meaning that it's not the same anymore.]

Happy now?

[geminated_man]

No-no. It is my fuckin' business cos I thought we were fucking friends.

Jesus Christ, no I'm not fuckin' happy.

No. No. You know what? I'm done here. Fuckin' done with all of it. Just piss off, would ya? Just fuck the fuck off.

oh no it's a flood.

[geminated_man]

I can't fuckin' deal with this bullshit again. And I really don't wanna get him star-

[geminated_man]

Ohh fuck. Jesus.

Someday I'll figure out a way to differentiate between them.

[geminated_man]

Alisha... You really.. You really don't remember?

I mean... I thought we were friends... It's- it's not that...

Fuck it's like we're back to bloody square one. I mean.. I thought we'd gotten over it, yeah? Over you but...

I-I.. I don't know. It just.. like... It really fuckin' hurts, yeah?

Until then, I'll be a big girl and use my context clues :>

[easy_a]

Okay, I still don't know wot you're going on about. But you need some serious help.

Probably sooner than later, yeah?

[geminated_man]

Is that all you've got to say? I mean, for Christ's sake... You... We...

Alisha, I loved you. I mean...

[geminated_man]

Ohhh no. We're not doin' this shit again. Look, don't you have somewhere else to be? Anywhere else?

What happened to fuckin' off and makin' biscuits with that bird with the massive tits?

[geminated_man]

We're doin' it this weekend.

Look, man, she needs to know about this, all right? What it did to us.

[geminated_man]

No, no. She doesn't. Because that's fucked up. You're fucked up, you little creep. Seriously. Just go... do somethin' else. I don't really care. I can't deal with all this right now.

It's pissin' me right off.

[geminated_man]

She's gonna find out eventually, mate. Can't not deal with it all forever.

[geminated_man]

I ALREADY DEALT WITH IT, YOU WHINY CUNT. That's where you shitheads came from!

Just FUCK OFF already! Christ!

[easy_a]

Wait, hold on. Have I been seeing and hearing this all right?

Are... are there two of you?

[For the moment, she's putting everything they've said on the backburner; she'll get to that once her own confusion halts.]

[geminated_man]

Jesus, that's right.

Yeah, I was caught up in that bullshit storm like half of bloody Wertham. I don't really have a lot of control over it sometimes. He just... comes out sometimes.

[easy_a]

Fucking perfect.

Really. This day just keeps getting better and better.

[It's bad enough that she's stuck in this weirdarse place, and now there's a storm shithead who has history with here in the same general vicinity.]

...Did you say you loved me?

[Aaaand back on topic.]

[geminated_man]

No-no. I told you, I'm fuckin' over that shit. Bloody had to, didn't I?

[easy_a]

Doesn't sound entirely like you're over.

One of you isn't, at least.
