02. [Voice/Action]

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.]

I hope so. I'm hoping the way I advertised the raffle would get a few people interested. Like you said, seeing three of the same people walking around would be very entertaining!

[~~If you're going with hair dye then Panpour and Pansear need to be dyed too. And their expressions changed... Gotta complete the look with three Cilans and three Pansages!~~]

[Good, you enjoy the results! Exciting raffle things, yaaay! This Duplica is really happy for you and everything, but she's going to turn around and go offer tickets to someone else now.

Clearly this Duplica is just not much of a conversationalist.]

I'm sure you are, not everyone can jump off of a roof like that after all.

[She'll really have to get to addressing why Oswald was up on the roof in first place at some point, but first things first.]

Did you come by to join in with the raffle?

Great! Hold on now.

[Sliding on over would be boring. Duplica looks down at Mini-Dit and nods her head in Lupin's direction. It's okay, go and say hello!

Mini-Dit smiles and hops right out of Duplica's arms towards Lupin's hand with a cry. Try not to drop the poor little Ditto now!]

Sure am! There's no rules saying Brigade members can't participate, so I'm hoping my luck will score me somethin' nice.

[Some may consider using cartoon luck to win a raffle to be cheating. Oswald would deny all accusations of that. After all, his luck seems to be affected by the power cap as well. It's working, but at the same time, it's not.]

[Surprised, he caught the little thing with both of his hands--and freezes. It feels too much like an octopus for his comfort. The level of squishiness...]

Okay....um, now what?

[ she just watches for a moment, wondering whether to investigate the Mystery of the Three Duplicas...

... but then again, they looked pretty busy with their tickets. maybe next time! ]

[~~three Cilans sounds like three too many~~]

It's certainly a very unique marketing strategy to use--I may have to consider getting one of these raffle tickets myself. [If only to get a better look at three Duplicas, perhaps.]

[Well alrighty! Don't worry Platina, the real Duplica will catch up with you in the future and explain what was going on then.]

[~~No way, you can have another three Cilans! No more than six though, that's against league rules.~~]

For a moment I thought about imitating whoever came over for a ticket, but if a lot of people showed up then they would soon catch on. With three Duplicas running around it should keep people guessing! Plus it's great exercise for my Ditto. [The sound of Duplica flicking through a ream of tickets can be heard in the background.] We have plenty more to hand out so come on down whenever you're ready!

In that case I hope you end up winning something you want!

[Really if she had any idea that Oswald was known as 'the Lucky Rabbit' then she would probably question him taking part. Ah well, she takes her ream of tickets and fans them out so Oswald can pick whichever one takes his fancy.]

Is there anything on that list you're hoping you'll get?

Well... That's it! I was hoping that if you held onto Mini-Dit that you might end up understanding Ditto a little more.

[She moves her arms so one arm is free whilst the other one lightly cradles her Ditto close to her chest.]

Try holding Mini-Dit like this. Don't worry, he won't jump out of your hands if you're having trouble doing it.

[~~Screw League rules, I do what I want~~ Cilan nods in agreement.]

Alright, I'll keep an eye out for you--all three of you, of course.

[And, like he said he would, he does end up swinging by the plaza to check it out a little while later. Indeed, it looks like there really are three Duplicas walking around, which is a pretty interesting sight to see...WHICH ONE SHOULD WE GET A BETTER LOOK AT FIRST...]

Nah, not really. The slot machine would look great in my apartment, but most of the prizes sound pretty good.

[Oswald takes an exceptionally long time examining the cards, even going as far as to reach out to take one, only to retract his paw at the last moment with a shake of his head. Finally, he takes one near the end.] This one should be good!

I...see.

[He mimicked her motion and cradled the smaller Ditto against his chest. It's smooth skin and it's pliability still unnerved him--octopi--but the Ditto lacked the tentacles and the uncanny eyes that were known traits in octopods. Overall...]

It's kind of cute!

I see. It seems I have no choice, then. I will depart immediately.

[And that's exactly what she's going to do. She bids a quick farewell, shuts her journal, and heads down to the plaza.]

[~~FINE. Get kicked out of the Cilan League. See if I care.~~]

Great! One, two or all of me will see you soon.

[It's your call Cilan. Which Duplica takes your fancy? Is it the one by the fountain, the shorter one which very obviously isn't Duplica but shhh, or the one by the SOS clubhouse. OH CHOICES.]

We'll be waiting for you, see you soon!

[When Sakura arrives there are three Duplicas already walking around and handing out tickets. One is by the fountain while another is over by the SOS clubhouse. The third one, which appears much shorter than the other two, is handing tickets out by the grocery. Take your pick!]

Ahah, right, most of them. [Number 8.] I really like the fourth one, but it isn't something I'd enjoy winning myself.

[Come to think of it maybe she can take a ticket for herself. Or would it be cheap if the person promoting the raffle also takes part? Hm.] If you can really tell which tickets are good ones just by looking through them then I'll have to say I'm impressed.

[And then it transformed into Octillery-]

I'm glad to hear you think that! A lot of people aren't very impressed by the way Ditto look, but I think they look just fine the way they are.

[Mini-Dit shifts left and right to get comfortable and then happily settles down in Lupin's arms.]

Looks like Mini-Dit has taken a liking to you.

[She didn't exactly expect for three Duplicas to be at the plaza. When she sees the smaller one, she just assumes it's a child in a costume...that Duplica isn't the one she just spoke to.

She decides to try the Duplica handing out tickets by the fountain. She appears to be the right height...]

There really are three of you. I am impressed.

[This Duplica simply nods in response before smiling and holding out a ticket. Take one, have fun and good luck in the raffle!

And that's it. Not even a 'hello' or anything else, how rude.]

[...octopus.

....

OCTOPUS~~~

Lupin froze, fighting the urge to drop the little Ditto--]

[And he started giggling almost hysterically. Almost.]

Yea~ The little guy does like me...

[Sakura takes the ticket without hesitating, and she turns it over in her hands. She's...never participated in a ticket raffle before. Part of her is looking forward to seeing what happens, but...

...she still has questions!]

You have my thanks, Duplica. It has been some time since we met. Have you been well?
