"You know, you might not have been serious and all, but >that's got possibilities..." "Possibilities?" one of the pair of not-Jason inquired. <Of course, dear boy,> Wolfgang began as he got up from his keyboards. He elucidated as he moved around the instruments and walked towards them. <With mirrors set up all around us, one of you could be popping in and out as a duplicate of one of the singers. This moving stereophonic effect would well complement the images for making it appear to be a stage full of duplicates.> Rivet looked up from the Gameboy he had been staring at after hearing this. There was a mildly irritated expression on his face as he told the others <Heyyyy, you can?t copy me! No one could copy me.> One of the not-Jasons turned to look at the other, a mischievous grin formed on his face as he did so. "Do you want to do it or should I?" The other not-Jason shook his head and swept an arm out to indicate the one who had asked. "Go ahead, Mimic think it a good chance for Drake to get more practice." The grinning not-Jason gazed at Rivet for a moment and glowed briefly before turning into an exact replica of the Charmeleon, including what looked to be the helmet he was wearing and the Gameboy. Finally, in the exact same voice that Rivet had used, the copy said <Heyyyy, you can?t copy me! No one could copy me.> Everyone except Rivet gave an amused chuckle. <What do you think, Mimic? Could we pull it off> the now not-Rivet inquired. Not-Jason quickly shot back to him "Maybe. Can Drake speak English in current form?" There was a startled look on not-Rivet?s face for a second. "I didn?t even notice. It seemed natural for me to do that when I talked." Not-Jason nodded "That one of the problems. Mimic also not sure Drake should do it alone. Would be better to switch during performance. Would enhance effect if not same one leaving each time. Both would have to work hard at this with others before show." Further planning was cut short as Memuyo casually padded out on all fours from his resting place. A pair of feline eyes suddenly lost any semblance of being sleep-weary after surveying the assembled group and a simple inquiry was made "Meowth?" One not-Jason was about to say something when the other shot him a quick glance with another mischievous grin. The first sent the message mentally #This more practice, right?#. This was followed by an affirmative response and the other not Drake make motions as if writing on a pad. After a little bit of rummaging D.J. produced a pad and pencil, handing it to the not-Jason that had requested it. "Drake just left. He said he would be back in about an hour." Was written on the pad and it was turned so the feline pokemon could look at it. Memuyo stared at it intently for more than a minute then looked at the not-Jason holding the pad and told him "Meow owth." In response, the duplicate wrote out "Thanks. I enjoy it when other appreciate the quality of my work.". This was also showed to the Meowth. It only stared at it for a short time before looking at the not-Jason which wasn?t holding the pad and asking simply "Ow owth?" Amidst the slightly confused look on the one duplicate?s face, the one that had been asked answered "Sure." And took the pad. Confusion moved from the face of one not-Jason to the one now holding the pad. With the passage of a few more seconds he read off the last line written on the paper. Upon hearing what had been written, Memuyo pointed a paw at the not- Jason that had done the writing and pronounced "Meowth". The other one asked "How Memuyo know that Drake? Mimic thought request was because Memuyo couldn?t read." "Meowth. Me owth me meowth." All but one again had an amused chuckle. One not-Jason looked slightly irritated before saying "Fine. So my writing is horrible. I won?t be signing any autographs, I?ll just do some singing. That, I can do." The other not-Jason tilted his head "Mimic only forge signature to get into things before. Forging for autographs will be a new experience, one of the many things we have to practice before the concert." <TBC?> Jeff Hauser* *Sig Sold Seperately
