Theo blinks a bit and stands aside. "Uh. He waaaas upstairs?"

"Awwwww spoilsport," Sadde pouts, following Tyler.

"I'm here!" he calls, floating downstairs and—freezing midair.

"Yeah, there are two of us, nice to sort-of meet you."

Meanwhile, Tyler's thought process goes something like this: You're really kinda frustrating, I would really like to kick you, can I trade you in for another guardian, and how, seriously, just how can somebody who is the guardian of the cards be so stupidly incompetent?

"… Did I not tell you about the Twin? I guess I didn't tell you about the Twin. It tapped a few people at school today, me included."

"Oh. Well, that's okay, when you capture it your copy will disappear."

...Sadde looks stunned. "In what way, shape, or form is his copy disappearing a good thing?"

Tyler… does not look too pleased at this either.

He blinks. "Er."

"We would like the innocent copied people to not be dead, thank you kindly."

"That's why Theo asked you about… the continuity of duplicates."

Theo: also does not look pleased.

"Erm. Maybe you could ask the Twin...?"

"So that's gonna be our plan, eh? Defeat but not capture the crazy copying card and hope it's up for a little chat? How do we even contain them?"

"Would the Shadow duplication thing and some rope do it?"

"That's what I was thinking, yeah."

Tyler looks to Kero. "Any input on this plan, or are you still stuck on 'there's another Theo'?"

"It... sounds like a good plan?"

"Okay, well, we need some rope in that case." He looks at Theo and says, "I have no idea where any rope is, at least not in this house – you got any idea?"

Theo just looks back at him, squinting a bit.

"I will take that as a no. I guess we'll have to go buy some, then, unless Sadde happens to conveniently have some rope on-hand? And we'll have to find the Twin." He sighs. "You know, it'd be convenient if I had come with some sort of homing feature with which to find them."

"Much as I'd love to, I do not in fact have rope, and if I did it would probably not be the appropriate kind. Also, we should probably find the other copies."

Tyler snorts. "Not the appropriate kind, right, okay, I don't think I want to know."

Theo pulls out his phone and looks up the applicable people on social media. Oh, look, photos for each of them, how convenient. "I'm pretty sure these are the only people who got tapped," he says, showing Tyler and Sadde the pictures.

Sadde pouts internally a little bit at Tyler's reaction. Then shakes his head to clear it.

"Okay, do you know where these people live? Or, could you message them there? If they've met their doubles they're probably freaking out."
