[A post early in the morning, and sounding so tired.]

So, I can't go home. I suppose I should have expected something like this.

Everyone who went to Robyn's party, you may have investigators visiting you. I did make sure the security cameras were off for the party areas, I didn't really want Dad snooping into it, but the servants may still be able to give a description or a name depending.

I'm somewhere safe currently, but it's a short term solution with the whole money issue and I don't have the skills to actually forage for my own food.

If there's any police on here who would be looking for missing kids...I'm really, really sorry.

Uh...clones.

[He winces as he says it, and then forces himself to look down before he continues. He can't say this while staring into what he now knows is basically his own face.]

Or, at least...you are. Of me.

Clones? What do yo-

[Erk.]

[Excuse her as she just bows her head, hand over her chest.]








Oh.

[He hasn't recognized the pause for what it is, and he isn't looking at her to catch the gesture, so he keeps talking. Better to rip off the bandaid, right?]

Yeah, our--that guy we thought was our dad? Turns out he's...I don't know what, but dad isn't it. He stole my DNA and made a-a whole bunch of clones, and--and...you were one of them.

I....


I remember.

[gogoghostpowers]

And I don't--oh.

You...you do?

Re: [Video/Filtered]

[ghostly_heiress]

Just now.

It's...

I don't know if it's messed up or not, she...I? I don't know. There was a lot of trust.

[Video/Filtered]

[gogoghostpowers]

...Trust?

Re: [Video/Filtered]

[ghostly_heiress]

Yes.

He was acting like we had to save you? That you should be part of our family and it was my job to help him do that.

[Video/Filtered]

[gogoghostpowers]

What family?! We--

We weren't one.

Re: [Video/Filtered]

...

I called him father.

[Video/Filtered]

[gogoghostpowers]

Father?

[Knowing the full context behind the situation, the thought that she called him anything other than "crazy lunatic" makes him feel scummy.]

Why?

Re: [Video/Filtered]

[ghostly_heiress]

Because that's how I saw him? It's how he was treating me if....a lot more creepy than I'm used to.

I don't know, seemed vaguely creepy, but maybe that was just the vampire teeth.

[gogoghostpowers]

Maybe he seemed creepy because he stole my DNA and cloned me?!

Re: [Video/Filtered]

[ghostly_heiress]

It could be that too. It was his attitude. A bit like smarmy businessman, but the me then didn't notice at all.

[gogoghostpowers]

[He's silent for a few moments, and then he sighs, looking away and rubbing the back of his neck.]

I'm sorry--somebody that creepy and messed up must've been a really crappy dad. You don't--didn't deserve that.

[Which is a weird thing to say, considering that she wouldn't exist if not for the creepy guy creating monsters out of his DNA in the first place.]

Re: [Video/Filtered]

[ghostly_heiress]

...

I...

[Looking down, away from the screen.]

[She was so hopeful, that maybe she wasn't alone, that even if it was some crazy other life, it would have been nice to remember.]
