   oh yes, he nodded and set the smaller down before patting his shoulder lightly, silently apologizing for the sudden pick-up. he couldn’t help himself, though. it was so easy and the smaller’s reactions were definitely worth it. he held up his phone after giving a few quick taps and slides on the screen, then held it up, the translation app up there. ❝how are you?❞

Ƹ̴Ӂ̴Ʒ

      Of course he knew by now that he wasn’t exactly a ‘social butterfly’. A really soft-spoken kind of guy, whenever he wanted to speak anyway. From his gesture though, he at least picked up on the apology. “Don’t worry about it. I didn’t mind that at all~” He said and waved a hand dismissively.

      Ah, even if he could very well understand Mizu when he speaks, the male decides to use an app. Well, if he really wanted to go about it that way, that’s fine too.

@pompousbones liked this for a starter

   oh! his top hat clad skeletal friend! he bubbles a little, giving a friendly wave before making quick strides to approach him, wrapping his arms around this skel. hello there!

Ƹ̴Ӂ̴Ʒ

      “Hi Mizuu~!”

“Sure, sounds alright…”

Sig gave an absentminded answer as he waited patiently for Oshare to locate these items for him. He walked around the store a bit, looking over all the assorted trinkets and accessories on display. Oshare always had such a huge assortment of stuff for sale… that was probably why his was the most well-known shop in town, despite him being… quite an unusual sight himself.

That never bothered Sig, though. Oshare was nice, and always helped whenever there was the need for supplies or enclosures.

Besides… who was he to pass judgment on what was ‘unusual’?

Casting that thought aside, Sig grabbed a handful of blue candies to buy for himself along with everything else. His hair tufts perked up when he heard Oshare’s off-hand comment, and he found himself smiling lightly at the thought of it.

“Hehe… I guess, kinda. They live right next to each other. This little guy doesn’t really like hanging out with anyone, though… he’s kind of a loner type.”

Ƹ̴Ӂ̴Ʒ

      Wow, he isn’t sure exactly how or why but..that is another cute imagery in a way. A loner type of beetle, and the lovely princess right next to him. Sure, he doesn’t even know if the butterfly even pays it any mind to go as far as having a friendship between them. But he could already pretty much imagine such a cute thing go on with those tropes in mind. Makes him giggle, and in turn it also has him look at the bug a little easier.

“That’s exactly what I was going to propose, mon cher~ You are me, after all!“ Oshare laughs, “I do wonder if there are differences between us still, it would be curious and all the more exciting.“  As long as not critical, however. Nobody likes a disagreement.

Oooh they could create amazing things together! Twice as fast too. That makes Oshare all the more curious.

“What should we make first? A dress? I don’t want to go easy for starters, what if I never see you again?! That would be a great opportunity wasted!“ The skeleton blurts his thoughts out as they are, grabbing the other by the hand and moving to go towards his home-slash-workshop

Ƹ̴Ӂ̴Ʒ

      “Ooooh, you’re right..Still, even then I bet we’ll do just fine~” But who knows what the future holds, really. There’s bound to be something to pop up. Then again however, it could very well be as major as he believes it to be. For now, he won’t even think about all that. Besides, the excitement on making the most fabulous clothes they’ve yet to ever create? Together? That sounds way fun to think on such things!

“Ah… thanks…”

Sig could still sense that Oshare was more than a bit put off by his beetle… but that was okay. He was used to his friends not liking his bugs… but when it came to providing quality bug cages, Oshare was one of the best around, so Sig was willing to be patient.

Sig sat down in a nearby chair, humming absentmindedly, the beetle still in his hand.

Ƹ̴Ӂ̴Ʒ

      Phlanges would gently trace along the cages as Oshare examined them one by one. He could probably thank Sig for his sense in quality cages anyhow. If it weren’t for him, he probably wouldn’t really have these. And the fact he’s a pretty nice kid in general really helps too.

      “Let’s see, let’s see....”

      He eventually picked a decent cage for the bug, as well as a few other things. A light, some log pieces, the works. Returning to the counter, he just sets the items down for Sig to have a look at. “I don’t know if you want those log pieces. But I think this cage and the light would fit best.” He said as he takes another look at the bug. It made him shiver a bit in disgust, sure. Buut..he pondered something about the little bug.

“I can’t say I know,“ Oshare puts his hat back on, sounding pensive, “but this isn’t the first time I see strange appearances around here, so it’s not entirely impossible that one of us got, say, teleported. Or something else just as weird!“ The skeleton shrugs.

“Still, I’m pleased to make your acquaintance~“ Oshare chuckles, grinning at the other, “Forgive my earlier behavior, we both know where that came from.“

Still, what they’re going to do about this is what’s important. They’re two of the same person, and these kinds of meetings don’t happen every day if ever.

“Hey, you make clothing too, right?“ The skeleton suddenly asks, excitement alight and extremely obvious in his features, “If there’s someone who’s going to truly appreciate the things we make it’s us, right?“

There are a few ways this could go.

Ƹ̴Ӂ̴Ʒ

      He was still pretty disoriented. But the mention of teleportation and such did seem to snap him back to reality. He has already met some pretty odd individuals after all. And he’s met those that weren’t from Primp Town--or this world in general. It’s quite amazing, the possibilities are just as endless as anyone could imagine. Meeting his own self was probably just a common thing for someone else.

      “Already forgiven~ Truly a pleasure to meet you.” Still, who woulda thought he’d meet up with himself? Truly this is amazing in itself! Whatever happened to either one of them, this could turn out to be a pretty delightful meeting in the end. Who knows.

Ƹ̴Ӂ̴Ʒ

      While Oshare has gotten used to visits like this by now, well..the way the other looked threw him off a bit. He was surprised for a moment before he could recollect himself. Having a bit of a smile as he waved to them,

Oshare takes the hat and is surprised that it’s not even a little bit lighter than his own. Fearing the worst he takes a careful look inside and…

“Oh my gosh.“ He falls quiet suddenly, as not to disturb the little animal within. He can very well recognize his own bat when he sees it, and it’s his, no doubt, 100% his. But this can’t possibly be, because…

The skeleton takes his own hat off, just checking for a moment to make sure, and ever-so-carefully hands it to his clone, expression perplexed, and understandably so.

In his own hat there’s the same bat, also sleeping as peacefully as it always does during the day.

“I have no idea how you did that.“ The skeleton admits, sounding less angry and more genuinely confused. “If you did at all. Which would create a new question.“

Ƹ̴Ӂ̴Ʒ

      Placing a hand on his pelvic bone, he only watches their reaction to the bat. That has to be it then--that has to the the very thing that could separate them. However, as he watches his expression..he began to feel more confused than anything. His reaction is way too genuine to be some actor.

      Oshare looked between their hat and the skeleton before him. Pondering for just a moment before he goes ahead and grabs the hat as he would with his own. Same weight..take a look inside and, well..the same puzzled reaction has crept along his face as well. What’s even happening? How is this possible? The bat doesn’t even have any difference compared to his. The color, shape, the way they sleep is practically mirrored..

      “....I..”

“Excuse me! I am not an impersonator, I am Oshare– And it’s my cool outfit, I made it myself!“ 

The skeleton looks scandalized more than anything now, not having expected the copycat to backtalk him and pretend to be the real deal. They’re even managing to feign the very tone of his voice!

“Oh puh-lease~ This isn’t the kind of magic I’m capable of, you should– you should know–“ He’s not actually sure, not knowing how far they went to copy him. Oshare eyes the other suspiciously, thoughts racing, trying to find something. They can’t be perfect, or they can, but only in one case, which he foolishly refuses to believe.

He squints, “Could I have your hat for a moment? I can give you mine in return, but you shouldn’t worry about me trying to steal that. No way is it as good in quality as my own–”

There has to be something. Maybe it’s on the inside.

Ƹ̴Ӂ̴Ʒ

      He crossed his arms as he was now starting to feel slightly annoyed. Just how far is this guy gonna go with this? He’s flattered that anyone would go as far as look like him and all, but this is just creepy!! It has to be common knowledge to know that he had made the outfit himself in the end. He would definitely tell anyone that fact as is, so that wasn’t enough to convince him that he wasn’t an impostor.

@pompousbones

“I can’t believe someone went out of their way to impersonate me! Who might you be and what kind of magic is this? It’s a job well done, nonetheless, I wouldn’t spot any difference~“

Ƹ̴Ӂ̴Ʒ

      “Those are my lines!”

      Looking at the other up and down, it’s just as they said. There was hardly any difference between the two! Just what’s going on? Is someone playing a prank on him? He’s supposed to be the one with the psychedelic magic! Though..at least he could admit that his clone matches the cool factor exactly. Give ‘em credit.

Ƹ̴Ӂ̴Ʒ

      “Why hello, little one!~” He gave off his cheerful wave before leaning against the counter. What a cute little darling she is..Though her outfit seems..pretty ancient in his eyes. She really should get something especially cute to wear. Show off and what not.
