09; A million spaces in the Earth to fill [but there's no going home]
[dysfunctional couples? They really have nothing on these two. Dysfunctional...well, sort-of selves. The one in the brown suit is sipping on a banana daquiri with a little umbrella in it (he'll be saving it for the little sunbathers on Tredronia as they need it more than he does)]
Right. So! Merging is supposedly quite complicated, or time consuming. Or both. Maybe. It doesn't make a lot of sense to me, either.
[The one in the more casual attire sips on a pint, giving his other self a look] Well, it has to be less complicated and time consuming than explaining to people on the streets why I'm talking to myself. You really do need to figure something out.
Why do I have to figure it out? You're me---with less sartorial taste, of course---but you've got to have some of my cleverness in that human brain of yours. [he may be surly because of the rum in the fruity drink]
I'm clever! Besides that, you've had a merger before, I haven't. So you need to figure something out. [gives him a look] And I'm sorry, but having exactly two suits isn't anyone's idea of taste.
They're nice suits. Besides, at least I know what I like. [scratches his sideburns] Well, I know it's got a bit to do with psychic wavelengths, creating some sort of a bond between the two realities.
I know what I like. Wearing more than two things is actually considered quite healthy by most people. [takes a sip of his drink] A bond between realities? How did you manage to do that before?
I don't know. It just sort of happened over time.
It just sort of happened? Like what, you woke up one day and bam, merged reality?
No, not that simple. It just took a bit of time, like a melting block of ice.
Really? A bit of time? Can't we just speed the process up, seeing as we're sort of the same? We should have some sort of psychic wavelength all ready, I would think.
We probably can. [takes a sip of his drink] I'm just not the sort of person who would know about that.
Lot of good, you are. [sighs] Right, well, what sort of person would know, then?
The Master.
Oh, you've got to be kidding. Really?
Not exactly the universe's greatest tutor, I think. We'll figure it out, though.
If he would be the sort to know, it can't be that difficult, right? I mean, there are two of us, after all.
We've got plenty of time, though. No need to rush things.

[features soften slightly]
No, of course not.
no subject
[concerned]
If I did...well, I didn't mean to.
no subject
Can we agree that you did nothing wrong?
no subject
All right, I suppose we can agree on that.
no subject
Your face truly masks nothing.
I do genuinely wish you well.
no subject
[smiles]
Thank you.

[gives her a look and rephrases her earlier question]
Can we agree that it's all right for me to thank you for something?
no subject
Oh, but you will do well with him. I do believe that he underestimates you.
He is in for quite the surprise.
Well done.
no subject
And can I say thank you to that, at least?
no subject
Oh yes. I do believe that you might.
no subject
All right. Thank you.
no subject
I should depart soon. The more I remain here, the more difficult it becomes to return to my own situation in France. And there is much to be done.
no subject
Of course. There's always much to be done back in France, isn't there?
no subject
[her gaze is slightly distant]
There is much to be done. If possible even more than before.
no subject
If there's anything I can do...
no subject
no subject
Yeah. [small smile] That sounds right.
no subject
Until the next time?
[and then she is gone]
