Gai mentioned a few people were cocooned/clone-replaced this past week. Everyone's returned by now? Or do you still have a semi-useful brother, Derrick?
Do we need to go wait for Fred at the Hatchery cocoons, again, or is she coming back from the clone ones?Shame the clones were more interested in cleaning than in finding more ...entertaining

[Shaky, but recognizable writing- someone's been drinking.]

I did NOT need that mental image.

[grab_my_bells]

Oops.

Hey, are you alright?

[bloody_pens]

Yeah.

[He considers writing more, but stops.]

someone is not in a good mood

[man_genius]

Shut up.

i can't tell. this seems to be his normal reaction to this sort of thing.

[Pen taps. Then Bell decides against aggravating it.]

he's usually not this direct? IDK it seems different to me

[man_genius]

[Sorry buddy. There's a raincloud over the incredibly clean manwich house right now]

He's usually not, yeah.

[It seems like the weather in that direction has been particularly gloomy as of late. D=]

Certainly there were more practical applications for clones of oneself.

[grab_my_bells]

Cleaning, apparently. And getting an unexpected bit of R&R in a cocoon, sure.

Otherwise, I preferred my idea.

[vile_queen]

It was apparent that you preferred your idea. Else you would not have posted with it.

I was thinking more along the lines of them being disposable, and thus usable for things one would not want to venture into themself, but the opportunity is lost now. If it even existed. They were not inclined to converse.

[grab_my_bells]

That would be useful, yeah, if we could trust them to be put in those kinds of situations, to gain information and report back, or to at least be dummies to take a hit.

Unfortunately, they were part of the Tree, not one of us. I could imagine abusing tree-clones that way would still get the real version killed.
