So, I'm still new here so I thought I could ask.

If you can't contact somebody and you can't find them around the island, does that mean they've gone back home? Or something's happened to them? Or something else entirely?

Could mean a little of everything. They could be hiding, not wanting to be found.

He'd be good at that, but I don't think he would be, right now.

[It's a possibility, of course. But - Dick knows himself. There is family, and he wouldn't be hiding from family without a good reason. And he knows of nothing that would have set the other version of himself off, like that.]

But thanks, I'll keep on looking.

Never know, people from different worlds--even those that look like you--could be entirely different.

[Sarah is speaking from experience, but he doesn't need to know.]

Okay, but try not to get yourself killed or anything.

[peckish4action]

Thank you, Sarah. :) I'll try.

Have you met the same person from different places?

[Text]

[cloneororiginal]

Good.

Somethin' like that.

[Text]

[peckish4action]

Don't want to talk about it, got ya.

[Text]

[cloneororiginal]

Have you met a different version of you yet?

[Text]

[peckish4action]

The very person I'm looking for, as a matter of fact.

[Text]

[cloneororiginal]

Shit, really?

[Text]

[peckish4action]

Yeah. Have you?

[Text]

[cloneororiginal]

Something like that.

[Text]

[peckish4action]

Not a good experience?

[Text]

[cloneororiginal]

Was yours? Can't say it was a real meeting of the minds.

[Text]

[peckish4action]

He's cool. A bit sad, and, like, almost ten years older than me, but really cool.

[Text]

[cloneororiginal]

So he'll be the one who can drink with me next time. [A light joke, hopefully he'll be able to tell.]

Sounds like your experience went well.

[Text]

[peckish4action]

If I can find him, probably. Don't worry, I've heard he flirts well but doesn't drink much usually, you'll be fine.

[Jokes he can do, yes. Always.]

And it did. We do share a lot, after all. Especially the part where flying's better than walking.

I mean like. Trapeze gymnastics kind of flying.

You sure about that? I was hoping to see a familiar face at the pub.

Sounds like you had a better time than one would've guessed.

[Text]

[peckish4action]

[Sarah, you're making him smile, right now. And, no, he has no intention of letting you go, whatever happens with the missing... other him.]

He'll take the pub, I can find another bottle of alcohol and take you out for a midnight picnic or something like that. You get the best of both worlds.

Also I think he might have had some experience with circumstances like that, before coming here. That might have made it easier.

[He better be careful, he's starting to grow on Sarah. Thus far one of the few people she has something of a connection to. Though...does the Doctor count as one person or two? But damn, kid. Starting early with the flirting aren't you?]

Depending on the alcohol, I might consider that.

Really? Shit, he might be a counselor here then if people's doubles start showing up.

[Text]

[peckish4action]

[He's a natural charmer, and he reaches out to people when upset-ish. Clearly how he gets as far as he does in a rather short time.]

I'll remember that!

And he probably could, though it might be a little difficult to talk about some of such times with strangers.

Do you think there are a lot of doubles, here? Or might be?

Re: [Text]

[cloneororiginal]

[Yeah, he better put a stop to that. Sarah is one to flirt back.]

He should be fine at it though, just avoid certain subjects if he can.

Possibly, but I hope not for me.

[Text]

[peckish4action]

[He doesn't even mean it as flirting just yet. Quite. Exactly.]

I'll let him know, if he's actually still here.

Right. No doubles for Sarah, check. Anyone else here you don't think should get doubles?

Re: [Text]

[cloneororiginal]

[Too late there, Kid. She already has double, in fact she is a double, but not willing to say it in text.]

The New Moore doctors, more of those idiots and the island will more than likely sink from the amount of stupid on it.

[Text]

[peckish4action]

[He means here!]

Hah! You have a very good point, there! We don't want this place to sink until we've found a way off it.

Re: [Text]

[cloneororiginal]

[Well then, no doubles here. But if they show up, she'll be upset/semi-happy, but mostly pissed.]

Exactly. I always make good points, remember that.
