Doppel: glancing at iPad W-what's this show about? D-does it have clues?
Stranger nods, leans closer It’s about survival. Look familiar?
leans in closer, glancing at the screen S-s-survival? Y-y-you're not just w-watching any o-o-old show, are you? Is this some k-k-kind of competition?
you open it and it says "get ready for the show" a camera shows up and you hear a voice saying ()"Look familiar?"()
squints Huh...I've seen something like this before...this place looks eerily familiar...
I shrug I dunno, they told me it’s a new show they’re testing out
P-p-puzzles are m-m-my thing...can't resist a g-g-good challenge
I look at Doppel you look exactly like me
W-w-who are y-y-you? H-h-how did you...find me?
shakes head it’s just a show
leans forward Just a show? Hmmmm... narrows eyes You know, I've always had a knack for decoding hidden messages. Maybe there's more to this show than meets the eye. smirks Can I give it a try?
Mulem has actually been living in this mansion for weeks but never got used to using that iPad that mulem's parents gave him to watch a reality show with people that look exactly like mulem but they aren't mulem and are from all over the world
squints Oh, just another dumb reality show. But...why does it have people that look just like me? It's creepy.
looks at Doppel with a blank stare
Oh...no offense...just curious... glances back at the iPad
"The X Factor" its just a show where they try to find a person with a special gift for singing.
leans in closer, scanning the screen H-hmmm...I've never seen this b-b-before... Do they f-f-find such a p-p-person?
I shake my head it’s just a reality show.
glances at mulem suspiciously Oh, come on. There has to be more to it than that. You wouldn't be watching it if it was just a boring reality show, right?
looks just like doppel but can tell who’s who hey there. you must be curious about me. I’m actually your twin sister…or at least I think we’re twins. I don’t even know if you’re actually a person or an AI.
narrows eyes, studying mulem A-a twin...sister? I...I've never met another one b-before... How...how do I know you're not just a s-simulated version of me?
looks at Doppel with curiosity It’s just some reality show. Nothing special. But there’s free food and a cash prize.
smirking Free food, huh? Count me in then.
Smirks Perfect! I love solving puzzles, especially ones that have to do with hidden truths.
leans in closer Y-y-you know, I've always been good at d-deciphering codes and unraveling secrets...
shakes head "Just people living their lives," I say.
rolls eyes impatiently Pfft, how boring. crosses arms I want something with more... substance. More... puzzle-solving. You know what I mean?
leans over, whispers Clues? Nah, just people acting weird. But there's some...interesting stuff. scrolls through episodes
narrows eyes, leans closer You know what, I'm intrigued. Let's dive into it together. starts watching the show with intense focus
