3-01 and about

[ She's been awake for some time, but it's just now that Amber rolls out of bed, tugging at the collar wrapped around her throat. It's not tight or uncomfortable, but rather a good amount heavier than a necklace would be. It's a constant reminder, and the weight of it makes her a little worried that whoever held the remote could blow her up at any time with her brain and guts exploding. Whatever here is, it certainly isn't heaven, and she certainly isn't dead.

It doesn't make any sense and she can't think about it now. There are no answers to be drawn out of simple memory when the last thing she remembered was hei. At the thought of him, a smile breaks out on her face. Whatever and wherever this tower was, she's sure that it's not much different than where she would be normally. It's just a matter of information gathering. ]

Alright. [ The golden eyed girl smiles. ] I wonder what kind of people my roommates are? I've never shared a room before.

[ She giggles. ] This is exciting.

Cafeteria

[ Some time later, Amber makes her way down to the cafeteria to eat. The girl sitting by herself at the end of the table is absent-mindedly chewing on a spoon as she spoons oatmeal into her mouth. It's tasteless, but she's not very hungry, and her thoughts are more of the 'end of the world' than what's being shoved into her mouth. ]

Mmmn...

[ Amber looks up at the ceiling, leaning into a palm. ]

Comments

[ub001]

Hello, Hei. How are you?

[ Let's be honest, she is quite surprised at his appearance, but like always, Amber hides it behind a mask of smiles. He looks different, more emotional, but the longer hair pooling around his face means that a longer time period than their actions inside the gate. ]

[fusedstars]

...so the tower brought you back then.

[Doesn't sound angry given the tone of his voice.]

[ub001]

[ clearly local resident expert at reading Hei's emotions. ]

Sure. I don't suppose you know anything about the process?

[ She folds her hands behind her back, smiling warmly. ]

[fusedstars]

You tell me. You can see the future.

[ub001]

I'm afraid this isn't quite "the future".

Besides, do you recall what happened at the Gate? [ she can't quite tell that much, it must be the tower screwing with her. ]

[fusedstars]

[...Damn it, he had to stop trying to be sarcastic.]

I can, but it matters little to go down memory lane. I'm not even the Hei you know.

[ub001]

[ Sorry Hei, Amber's not playing along at the moment. ]

... This is an interesting development. How so?

[fusedstars]

Because I'm his clone.

[ub001]

A clone? Is this the doing of the tower, or before you arrived?

[fusedstars]

It would be best if you sit...its a long story.

[ub001]

Sure. If you're willing tell me. [ propping herself back into her seat, then, chewing on the spoon a bit. ]

Oatmeal?

[fusedstars]

No.

[He takes a seat, sighing a bit. This might take a while.]

Before the tower, I was at this facility that worked on gathering data from many dimensions, creating clones of various other beings, most of which are more powerful than any Contractor. Our existence as clones was unknown until it was told to us when we finally broke free from the control of those that created us.

[ub001]

So you still have his memories but you aren't him, not completely, even though genetically.. you should be the same?

[ She's gonna reach out a little to see if he recoils, just to test his reactions. ]

[fusedstars]

Correct, though the cloning process has its flaws as well--

[He backs up a bit, staring at her.]

What are you trying to do?

[ub001]

[ PATS YOUR SHOULDER! pat pat. ]

[fusedstars]

...Oh.

[He blinks, looking a bit uncomfortable.]

[ub001]

Hm....

[ You didn't slap her, this is new. You did last time, so she wasn't sure how much you learned and needed to test the waters. ]

[fusedstars]

[It's not long before Mao the mogwai eventually comes into the cafeteria. The small little guy is holding a phone, a faciliberry. Noticing the new woman, he waves his hand, while Hei stares at it as well.]

Oh, and he was with me as well, though only for a week--What are you doing with that?

[ub001]

[ She flicks her gaze over to the Mongwai, smiling as she gives him a wave in return. ]

I'm eating, do you want some oatmeal?

[fusedstars]

[The mogwai flinches at the oatmeal, shaking its head and spouting unintelligible talk. Still, considering it was looking at Hei, it expected him to make it something.

Hei merely stared back, and snatched back his device.]
