Good day, one and all! To all of you people listening in out there, I'd like to let you know that the SOS Brigade is holding a raffle. Today! All three of me will be handing out tickets at the SOS Brigade clubhouse, but we'll all be spreading out around the plaza too so keep an eye out for all of me!

[That's right, all three of her. Sorry, but there are no bonus prizes for anyone that ends up running into three 'Duplicas' today. Speaking of which, a raffle isn't much fun if you don't know what you're going in with a chance of winning, right?]

You might just end up winning one of these great prizes that the Brigade has lined up, so make sure you listen closely.

[Cue Duplica reading off the following list of prizes:
1. Free Brigade consultation
2. Free Favor from the Brigade
3. Ride on a Dragon
4. Spend a day with a celebrity of your choice
5. Signed Idol Photograph
6. A Slot Machine
7. A bento created by the chief of the Brigade
8. Photos on a Brigade member in a nurse outfit
9. Mp3 or CD of an acoustic version of God Knows
10. Mp3 or CD of a cover of Eye of the Tiger
Her enthusiasm seems to pick up when she reads out number four, that's definitely a good prize to get.]

So now you know what's going on all you have left to do is find me. We'll try and be around until noon today. We'll be drawing winners this afternoon so don't put it off until the last minute. All of me are looking forward to seeing all of you!

[After she's finished speaking, Duplica heads to the SOS clubhouse and stands outside with a bunch of tickets in her hands. There's also another Duplica wandering around the plaza with her own tickets and yet another, shorter Duplica doing the same thing. If you happen to talk to any of the Duplicas in the plaza then you'll only end up getting a friendly smile. The real deal and the clubhouse will be more than happy to talk and might even come over if any of her other 'Duplicas' are running into trouble.]

Threaded | Top-Level Comments Only

There will be by the time you come down to the plaza and get your ticket, Sakura.

[Was that enough of a hook to get her to come and take part in the raffle? Duplica hopes so!]

That's a first! They might have the colour of bubble gum but don't go trying to chew on them.

[They might transform and chew back. While she's not fond of the bubble gum comparison the cute comment sounds a little better.]

They are very cute, my Dittos look their absolute best when they look like this. [Oh, right, the explanation.] Both of these Pokemon are called Ditto, that's their name. Mini-Dit is a nickname I gave to the latest addition to my team.

Right again! Don't worry, you won't have to worry about running into a fake. Any of me will be glad to give you a raffle ticket!

[Are you confused yet Platina?]

I'm... afraid I don't quite understand. Normally there's only one of a person, right?

[ VERY YES. ]

Well yes, normally there's just one. [Unless you have an identical twin or something.] But today there are going to be not one, not two, but three of me out there. You'll have to come and see what I mean if you don't get it yet!

[He doesn't say that they also looked like chewed bubble
gum...

Headtilt.]

Duplica-chan. I still don't really know what a pokemon is.

Right. Then I'll be there shortly!

[ makin her way downtown, walkin fast~ ]

Ah, I take it that means I shouldn't be too surprised if one of you is actually a Ditto in disguise?

Or two of me! Even if I might look a little shorter than I usually do.

[Just pretend they're all the same height okay? Okay.]

[Faces pass and she's plaza bound!

Hopefully Platina will soon catch on to what Duplica was talking about. There's one Duplica by the fountain, one by the clubhouse and another, shorter Duplica by the grocery. They're all handing out raffle tickets! What do you do?]

[ ... she just stares at the three Duplicas for a second. this has to be some kind of trick, huh? just like with the dresses! after a moment of decision, she approaches the one by the fountain, waving a hand. ]

Excuse me!

[... Yeaaah. Better keep that part to yourself, Lupin.]

These are Pokemon! There are over two hundred and fifty different Pokemon in my world, but I know there are even more out there too. [She doesn't know the numbers exactly, but having been introduced to some Unova Pokemon here she knows there are more.] There are all sorts of different Pokemon, some people use them to battle or some keep them for company. But they don't all look like Ditto! For example, Pikachu is a mouse Pokemon which has two red cheeks and a jagged tail. It's a little hard to describe without showing you a real live Pikachu.

[Hello there! Would you like a ticket?

This Duplica doesn't say anything. In fact all she does is smile and offer out a ticket for Platina to take. Here you go, enjoy your ticket!]

So...you're saying that they're just regular animals in your world?

I think so. I've met people here who have called them animals and even monsters before, so the animals you have where you come from by just be like Pokemon where I come from! Does that make sense?

I think so, but we normally don't have animals that look kind of like silly putty and transform.

[LUPIN NO.

They don't look like silly putty at all, don't say that! Duplica just stares at Lupin for a moment before going over and picking up her two Ditto. It's okay guys, you're nothing like silly putty, really.]

[He's the lead character of a seinen anime. He doesn't understand this shonen stuff.]

...did I say something wrong?

Pokemon have feelings you know.

[So please don't call them names when they're right here. It was bad enough when Misty went and called them weird and abnormal.]

My Ditto might not be much to look at to you, but to me they're my friends and a part of my team.

[Head tilt.]

...I understand. This is all just very, very new to me.

I'm sorry, I can understand what it's like when you're trying to get used to something.

[It still bothers her and her Pokemon a little to just be called a name like that though. After staring down at her Ditto for a short moment she suddenly comes up with an idea. Ahem, back to the impression she was putting on before.]

Hey kid, why don't you try holding one of them?

Well, I'm sure it'll be an impressive sight to taste regardless, since having three of someone walking around would normally be very rare to see.

[Unless you're the Shadow Triad. ~~Or him and his brothers since they're triplets and could maybe dye their hair to look more similar to each other.~~]

Um. Okay?

[He understands, a little. The larger part of his questions lie in their habitat, how they're able to transform, and their level of intelligence at this point. Though he had met intelligent animals before ~~a certain dolphin comes to mind~~, he's never dealt with one that took offence at random commentary. ~~Again, excluding that dolphin. She was a bitch.~~

Lupin offered out a hand slowly, as if he were trying to pet a strange dog. One of them could slide on, right?]

[ happily accepting! GAMBLING MY LOVE... ]

Thank you, Miss Duplica. I'll look forward to the results!

[He chuckles, his ears perking up for a moment, before moving back into a more leisurely position.]

Sorry about that! Don't worry about me, I'm resilient. [He claps a fist against his chest, as if to prove a point.]
