[No, your communicators are not on the fritz. There really are three girls broadcasting, identical in every detail right down to their plaid schoolgirl skirts and somewhat vacant expressions. When they speak, they do so in perfect unison, resulting in an eerie, stereo effect.]

We've only just arrived, and we've already learned something. [They

[bob_fraser_snr]

Vague? How so? What questions do you have?

[clonedcuckoos]

As in we couldn't hear him. [And they say that like it's the most obvious reason in the world.] And no. None.

[The middle adds in:] But thank you for offering.

[bob_fraser_snr]

All right. You're quite welcome. I'm Bob Fraser.

[clonedcuckoos]

We know.

[peektuttut]

[Holy crap, are they creepy.]

Is that your last name?

[clonedcuckoos]

[They're practically at Shining levels of creepy. COME PLAY WITH US, ROBIN. COME PLAY WITH US~.]

Not really, but. [Tandem shrug.] It works well enough. Besides. We're used to it.

[peektuttut]

[THERE BETTER BE NO RED RUMMING UP THERE GIRLS :|]

...So, like a codename. [ATTENTION. Piqued.]

[clonedcuckoos]

[The left's eyebrows arch mildly.] Very astute. [A quick brush - closer to a light poke than a deep probe - and they all smile knowingly before saying:] But you have experience with that, don't you, Tim.

[clonedcuckoos]

Thank you.

[A pause, and they become much more interested when his brain won't open up.] Hmm. More puzzles. [And, because beating around the bush is a waste of time:] What are you?

[clonedcuckoos]

That's not very enlightening, you know.

We're mutants. [Among other things.]

[rayney_day]

Yeah, that's not disturbing, at all...

[clonedcuckoos]

[Tandem headtiiiiilt.] We get that a lot.

[rayney_day]

You're also gonna' get a lot of guys hot and bothered with the schoolgirl triplet look...

[clonedcuckoos]

[The bookends turn to the middle, wry smirks on their faces.] See, Celeste. Boys are trouble everywhere.

[Celeste rolls her eyes and speaks alone.] We can handle ourselves. Besides, they're comfortable.

[a_bit_put_upon]

Well, boredom is generally proportionate to one's will to find things interesting, and the Admiral is quite a cryptic fellow on occasion.

Hello. I'm the Doctor.

[clonedcuckoos]

We like cryptic. It's a challenge. We don't often get those.

Another Doctor. [A beat and, yup. Same kinda brain. They just perked up a little.] Related?

[a_bit_put_upon]

I'd say that depends, but given that- after a fashion, yes; we're something of the same man.

...I'll thank you to ask politely next time, though. You'll find my answers far more accommodating than your forays.

[clonedcuckoos]

Sorry. [And they look almost chagrined there - like Five caught with their hands inside the cookie jar.] We weren't trying to go that deep... We're not rude. Just checking.
