Puzzle 001 - [Video]

[He's looked for Flora for a while now, but he hasn't seen any sign of her. No way to contact her, she's not in her room, in fact it's like she was never here at all.

He hopes that she was sent back. He was never her Luke to begin with - the real one was back home with the Professor. He would always be the copy of Luke that Mayfield made. But it hurt at lot more then he was expecting. He wanted to pretend a little while longer...

And then there was that part of him that didn't trust this place to actually send her home.]

Do we know for sure if you get sent back home once you "leave" this place? My friend went missing, and while I'd like to believe they sent her off back home, I can't really be sure if that's what they really did or if they're keeping her somewhere.

I mean, I hope that's what they did. She'd be happier there. But I just want to be sure...

[He's quiet for a little while before speaking again. He decides to ask a question that's been on his mind for a while.]

I also had another question - a hypothetical one, if you will. Say that you met someone who was like you in every way, from appearance to personality, except that they aren't actually the real you, but just a copy. How would you treat them, knowing that they aren't actually you?

[THIS IS MAKING THEM BOTH UNCOMFORTABLE. Wanted to see if they could do it? Didn't think about how their creation might feel about it? This is way too close to home. Not that he thinks that Luke's guessed who he is, or anything - it's just too awkward.]

You have been reading too much science fiction.

[hintcoinplz]

I haven't actually.

[Though that might be giving too much away. It's so frustrating that he just can't be honest.]

Nevermind. Maybe I am reading too much into things.

[FRYSQUINTS AT]

Are doppelgangers common where you are from?

[hintcoinplz]

[He should end the conversation here. He should lie, say no, and never talk about this again.

But instead this happens.]

You could say that, yes.

[readytobe]

[BUT THIS IS THE MOST INTERESTING PART.]

Are they natural? Or man-made? And have you met one before? [Mewtwo it is rude to pry. He doesn't care, though. This is too interesting. Because just as it's personally relevant for Luke, so too is it for him. SO CMON, PUZZLE KID. SPILL.]

[hintcoinplz]

[Luke's not sure how to continue. As long as Mewtwo doesn't find out the truth about him, he supposes he can reveal a few answers.]

They were man-made.

[readytobe]

On my world, such beings would be considered unnatural...perhaps even abominable... [Talking from experience there Mewtwo huh] They are accepted in your society?

[hintcoinplz]

["Are they accepted in your society?" Luke wants to laugh at that. He's sure that if people like him could even exist in the real world, they'd be considered abominations as well.

He spins another lie, with the tiniest hint of truth to it.]

I guess they would be, since there's more of them then there are normal people.
