"Hm. I think I'll try, see if I can do it or not."

So he also goes over into the living room, sits down, and tries. He'll try again with the staff in a moment if this doesn't work.

"...and I'll stay here in boredom."

Theo reaches the correct mindstate pretty quickly; Tyler doesn't.

… Well, Tyler will continue to try anyway. He feels like he should be good at single-mindedness, so it should apply to meditation too, right?

… Is there any sign of the Twin? Does Tyler have a magic spark thing?

Apparently it does not directly apply to meditation; it takes much longer and is much harder to focus than Tyler remembers it.

And he definitely does have a magic spark thing, presumably identical to Theo's if Theo could actually see his own magic spark thing. No sign of the Twin anywhere, though.

Okay, well, Theo will come out of meditation and report this to Sadde.

Tyler will continue trying. Quite calmly.

Tyler will eventually succeed, but it'll take longer and be much easier to snap out of.

"Your phones vibrated," he tells Theo after having been told about the negative results.

Tyler doesn't care; he's still trying to focus on the meditation, even if he only succeeds for a short while.

"Oh?" says Theo, then he gets out his phone.

What are the responses?

Two of them think he's insane, one hasn't answered, but the forth—a girl called Willow Maxwell—says she's pretty damn spooked by being Suddenly Twins.

He reports these to Sadde! "I'm guessing we should go talk to Willow. The others can wait until they think we're less mad."

"Yeah." He squints at Tyler.

Theo notices this and frowns. "What are you doing? … Like, if you want him to wake up, you should probably poke him or something."

"I'm waiting for him to come out of it on his own."

Theo looks at Tyler.

"… I'm pretty sure he's not planning on doing that any time soon."

...he pokes Tyler.

Tyler does not take too kindly to that, jumping back over the couch and not quite hissing at him.

Theo startles at the hiss. "What the hell?"

"...did you just hiss?"

(He does not look bothered by this.)

Tyler seems a bit confused by his reaction to Sadde, but he is currently not okay with being touched, so he stays crouched and glaring.

Theo: still really surprised and confused.

"Come on, you can hiss at me in the bedroom later, we have a very confused person to help."
