[This is again posted during the night. It includes two photographs, clearly taken during the day, both slightly blurry.

The first is of a group of Jennies sitting down to lunch. They look relaxed and happy, chatting to each other. The angle of the photograph and also the fact that there are some leaves present in it give the impression that someone took it from hiding.

The second is of two Joys while they are working at the poke centre. Just two Joys working, nothing special going on.

In both cases, the Joys and Jennies in the photographs have been circled in red.]


So, are we just not going to talk about this?

Oh, it has been spoken of plenty, this world has many similar...quirks, lets call them. In time you will discover them all.

They paint a rather fascinating portrait of this place and our shared circumstance.

[Oh. It's this asshole again.]

Yeah, I don't think you can label having an entire police force and nursing staff made up of... clones or something a quirk.
The weird constant background music is a quirk.
This is
I mean, I don't know what this is just yet, but it's not a quirk.
Like, has nobody even tried looking into this?
Did everybody just look at the all the completely identical police officers in this world which, if I can remind you, is not supposed to have any magic, and just went 'no, this totally tracks'?

[It's him! The asshole!]

I'd imagine that within the last decade or so that some few have been here for there has likely been some measure of investigation. One I have not sought to inquire about, admittedly.

As for myself, seeing as I am intimately familiar with cloning, I suppose I did not think too much about it beyond it being the probable explanation for their queer existence. Theirs is not the strangest thing here.

[nightyorb]

And doesn't it strike you as odd to want the police and the nurses to consist out of completely identical individuals?
Surely, even if you aren't suspicious about the methods used to create these individuals, you've got to be a bit suspicious about the reason why?
(Or a lot suspicious because this is actually a super suspicious thing)
Haven't you even wondered about who is creating these clones?

[lovelybottom]

Is this really the strangest thing that you've seen in this world?

text;

[nightyorb]

Maybe not the strangest.
But still suspicious enough to not just ignore like everybody else seems to be doing.

text;

[lovelybottom]

Maybe they aren't human at all. Maybe they're another kind of Pokemon.

[necrodentia]

You know, I always just assumed they were all changelings or doppelgangers or something, but now that I think about it... Given that everyone gets turned human upon planeshifting here, that theory doesn't hold much water, does it?

text;

[nightyorb]

Not really, no.
Do you know if they were brought here from other worlds too or are they natives to this world?
And, for that matter, do we know for sure they are all individuals?
They could be part of some huge... hive brain.

[necrodentia]

Pretty sure they're natives...

Oh, I know!
You could test it out. Tell one Jenny something and then go see if another Jenny knows it.

Trust when I say there's a ton of actually fucking suspicious-ass shit that people just shrug off as being normal to this place.

I fuckin hate it and no one fuckin listens.

Text

[nightyorb]

I'll listen.
This world is crazy and the fact that people are so flippant about that is
It's weird. And suspicious.

[Hey, have we all considered that maybe this world is messing with all their brains, taking away their will to fight?]

Text

[strings_theory]

[If she didn't want to fight people all the time forever, she'd consider it.]

Okay, so. For one, who the fuck lets their ten year old kid out to go wander the goddamned fucking world with these little creatures and doesn't think it's dangerous? HOW is it not dangerous? Like, they don't even seem to understand that whole old stranger danger concept.

Also why the fuck do these creatures listen to us just because they were caught in a ball??? That's not how this shit works for wild creatures at all.

Dunno if you've heard about the crazy shit that's happened here re: dangerous shit like cults and crime syndicates and fucking "legendary Pokemon" trying to be captured. But, like, it's like the local populace doesn't care because there's always some ~magical trainer~ that stops it or their precious-ass ~gym leaders~ and ~Elite Four~. How did these fuckers even get to these positions and I haven't seen any of them do jack and shit and instead it's all of us getting roped in to fix their shit.

Perhaps they are all related to each other?

text

[nightyorb]

[Sir. No.]

Have you ever seen related people look this identical?
Maybe twins, but this goes way beyond twins.

[neverfinishanyth]

Perhaps they are using make up to hide the points on which they may differ?

[wrappedwarm]

the noise all the time is more anoying

[nightyorb]

Annoying, sure.
But this could actually be dangerous.
I mean, this *screams* trap.

[wrappedwarm]

how is them looking the same a trap
that just their face

Text

[moneymatters]

Pah! This is nothing. You should see the Beagle clan from my world, nigh-on identical faces as far as the eye could see.

Text

[nightyorb]

I don't know this Beagle clan but where they all somehow involved in two of the most important jobs in any town?
And there were also no other people in those jobs, only them?
Cause that is kind of my big concern here!

Re: Text

[moneymatters]

Yes and no? The Beagles are entirely, almost to a man, brigands and thieves. Of course there are other ne'er-do-wells but the Beagles about have a monopoly on it.

[If this were voice, there would be a derisive snort here.]

And they've been thorns in my side long enough I should know.

Text

[loveisadagger]

Well...

They're either all variants or they're a type of species that simply all look similar. I'd like think it's the earlier possibility.

text;

[nightyorb]

There is not supposed to be any other species here though.
Just humans.
And even if it was some other species, wouldn't it still be really fucking suspicious that all these really important jobs are taken by this one species?
Like, there is not a single human in this world that wants to be a cop?

[loveisadagger]

Ah...

Yes that does draw quite the concern doesn't it?

I wonder if it's set up in that way so you're easy to identify them...

[Which is also majorly concerning but...]
