I'm part of the weird mirror thing you were pulled into, based off of you[/color]" Alexander groaned "[color=aba000]Fucking great.[/color]" He looked down at the dead body "[color=aba000]So who's the stiff?[/color]" "[color=fff200]He's not actually dead [i]yet[/i]. He just looks like he is because time is frozen right now[/color]" The clone answered. He then pointed behind Alexander Checking behind him, Alexander saw a bunch of monsters, also frozen in place "[color=aba000]...Wait...is this-?[/color]" "[color=fff200]Right before you got magic. So to answer your question from before that you just figured out the answer; the stiff is you. The old you[/color]" "[color=aba000]Huh, neat[/color]" Alexander hummed. He then turned back to his clone "[color=aba000]So what now?[/color]" The clone's eyes sharped "[color=fff200]Now, I'm supposed to drag up your every worry and insecurity to break your spirit and get you to give up[/color]" The clone held his posture for a few seconds before slumping down "[color=fff200]but you're such a jaded self aware little bitch baby that you don't have any deeply buried worries and insecurity to deal with[/color]" Alexander raised an eyebrow "[color=aba000]Is that a compliment or an insult?[/color]" "[color=fff200]It's a complaint![/color]" the clone yelled in response "[color=fff200]Everything I could bring up is something you probably bitch about to yourself daily, so it won't really have the impact I need to! You basically disarmed me before I was even born. Do you have any idea what that-[/color]" The clone paused his rant "[color=fff200]Oh, right. You [i]do[/i] know what that's like, given how your magic used to be.[/color]" The clone let out a deep sigh and leaned against the wall "[color=fff200]It's just...your life became so much better after getting magic. You have Lily, hell, you even have a house of your own now. And sure, fighting monsters and stuff like that is a hassle, but it's nowhere near as sole crushing as the minimum wage bullshit you had to deal with before. I can't even use the Amber thing against you, since you already beat yourself up about it enough whenever you see some that needs healing. If I did try, it would just piss you off, not break you. I've got fucking nothing to work with here![/color]" Despite the situation, Alexander found himself feeling bad for his copy "[color=aba000]um...sorry?[/color]" The copy growled "[color=fff200]Don't fucking pity me[/color]" but he couldn't put any fire into it. "[color=fff200]You know what, fuck this. If I'm going to be useless and miserable, then I might as well spread it.[/color]" He stopped leaning against one wall and walked over to the one in front of him. He put his hand on it and it ripple into a clear mirror "[color=aba000]Lily![/color]" Alexander saw on the other side was Lily being hugged by her own clone "[color=aba000]What...how!?[/color]" "[color=fff200]Did you think you were the only one going through something like this?[/color]" The clone snarked "[color=fff200]She's not doing as well as you[/color]" "[color=aba000]Are...are you helping me?[/color]" Alexander was confused "[color=fff200]I'm a creation of this mirror, I can do a few tricks[/color]" the clone shrugged "[color=aba000]But why?[/color]" "[color=fff200]Because fuck the Queen for making me based on someone like you![/color]" The clone yelled. "[color=fff200]Oh right, almost forgot[/color]" He reached down and picked up a rock that was slightly smaller than fist size and handed it to Alexander "[color=fff200]When the time comes, you'll know what to do with this[/color]" "[color=aba000]Uh...okay?[/color]" Alexander took the rock, confused "[color=fff200]Alright[/color]" The clone moved so that Alexander was between him and the mirror "[color=fff200]Now fuckem up![/color]" and kicked him through it "[color=aba000]Gah![/color]" Alexander gasped as he fell through the mirror to the other side and on the ground. "[color=aba000][sub]Fucking asshole[/sub][/color]" He got to his feet to see Lily still in the grasp of her clone, neither of which had noticed him yet. He looked at the rock his clone had given him- '[color=fff200][i]When the time comes, you'll know what to do with this[/i][/color]' -and beaned the Lily clone in the head with it, knocking her to the ground and separating her from the real Lily "[color=aba000]Lily, stop fucking around with your fake, we have a Queen that needs to be stabbed![/color]"
