Who: Anais' mirror double, Anais, Open!!!
What: Anais' double is running around town being super sweet and also a dick.
When: Whenever???
Where: Places Anais normally frequents. The high school, nearby the clinic, near her apartment building.
Warnings: Violence and my poor attempt at manipulation.

[There were three things on Anais' mind lately: Who she could trust since the incident with the giant snake that killed hundreds of people made it obvious that there was a divide in opinions of people with powers; how she looked to those around her, now that the giant bird on her apartment building made it impossible to hide that she was among them; and how her limited powers and lack of any positive social influence could help her... companions? (Friends was too strong of a word, but she found herself hoping for the safety of everyone, even the ones she didn't know well or at all.)

Absolutely none of these things seem to be crossing Anais' thoughts today. She's downright chatty! Not only is she chatty, but cheerful. She's hanging out with classmates as they wait for the bus. Except she's telling them that their chemistry project is something totally different from what the teacher told them on Monday. And she's giving people directions to the clinic, except the entirely wrong way. And she's also collecting money for charity outside a bakery nearby her house that's going into her own pocket. (Why the hell do monsters need money???)

Classmates, coworkers and friends are totally welcome to call Anais out on her bullshit.

Except for the fact that Anais was just getting out of the first run she's been able to have since the absurd snowy winter when she spotted her double. And it had completely vanished by the time she reappeared. She would've guessed it was just a trick of the light, if it hadn't given her an echo seeing someone exactly like her doing things exactly like she didn't. So she's spending much of the afternoon and early evening looking for this strange double. There's a chance it's dangerous. And she's not willing to let something like that wander around the city.

So while the double causes trouble, Anais is going to be running around asking anyone she recognizes if someone who looked like her has passed through today. She's going to seem crazy, isn't she?]

[He didn't know there was a charity going on. Having arrived at the bakery on his way to get himself a snack after class, he raises an eyebrow at his money-collecting girlfriend.

And drops the quarters he had in his pocket into her hand???]

What's this all about?

[Anais is going to feel bad later for her double. Very bad.

But the double smiles sweetly at him.]

It's to help recover the damages that couldn't be repaired after the attack.

Really?

[He tilts his head at her. This is the first time he's heard anything about such donations. And would Anais really have done this without telling him? He knows he tends to butt into her business more often than he gets invited... but she still contacted him most of the time about anything.]

It sounds like a pretty small charity. You're the only one I've seen.

[Maybe you just don't know her as well as you think you do. Yeah, no.]

Well, this isn't a very busy part of town. There's sure to be more in busier areas.

Uuuh... huh...

... Who's backing this charity, by the way?

The clinic? [Obviously it's not.]

Why are you asking me?

I'm not. I'm just pretty sure that's who's sponsoring it.

Anais, you're usually on top of things, what's wrong? [He blinks.] You don't know who's sponsoring a charity you're helping out???

I didn't get the full information, really. It just seemed like a good cause. [not like anais at all.]

[He's quiet.

Then he takes Anais' hands and pulls her back, away from the building, and peers at her face.]

My Anais is much, much more thorough than that.

[She snatches her hands back.] Who asked you?

[He lets her pull back, but he doesn't back down either.] Myself, actually.

Are you really Anais?

What kind of question is that to ask your girlfriend? [Things Anais would never say that way.]

My girlfriend never uses her relationship to me to refer to herself that way. So are you my girlfriend?

Not anymore, if you keep acting like this.

Where is Anais?

Right here, jerk. [What.]

[You are not Anais omg he SIGHS and grabs her hand again.]

Answer me.

I said I'm right here! [She narrows her eyes and drops her voice.] If I scream, what do you think will happen to you?

The people at the bakery know me so they'll think I dumped ice cubes down the back of your shirt, actually.

The people at the bakery aren't the only ones around.

Seriously. If I call the clinic will they know about this charity?

Let me go.

[He will do as she says.]

... Anais.

What happened?
