Doce set Kalluto down when JD approached with Tails, a purple guy, and a giant robot.<span style="font-style: italic">Great Gods, I don't know which freak to fan-girl over first,</span>she thought. She forced herself to focus on what Lucile was saying. Firstly, her thoughts went to evil clones intent on replacing them in the real world... Then she kicked herself for being so paranoid and put that idea on the back burners.<br/><br/>"Well it's interesting," she said, putting a hand on her chin and tilting her head.

And, I wouldn't disagree to a nice, civilized chat with whoever might be instigating all this. I'm sure we could come to some kind of understanding." She paused a moment and then let out a breath, running a hand through her cobalt hair. "Am I the only one who feels like I'm being suspended over a ten-story building?"
