Randomly decided to post this dialogue I typed up back in January! I like typing dialogue and such, maybe I’ll post some more stuff another time. This is dialogue stuff for Vlinny’s “childhood.” I have Mokie dialogue I’ll post tomorrow maybe (I don’t know to put a keep reading split thing on mobile so sorry if this is long TvT)
Vlinny: “dads, why don’t you love me?”
Jahn: “the majority of us are a hive minded species incapable of emotions, including ‘love’.”
Vlinny: “cAn yoU At LeAst TRy?”
Jahn: “Vinesnauce, descend from the rafters and return to the floor! We are just required to cut your hair so it matches the original’s length!”
Vlinny, from the rafters: “no! I don’t trust you with sharp things! You put sharp things like needles in my neck and it hurts! Those look more painful!”
Jahn: “these will not go in your neck! They are for your hair! They will not hurt, and we know what we are doing!”
Vlinny: “how do you know what your doing? You don’t have hair!”
Another jahn: “he *does* have a point-“
Jahn: “please just retrieve him.”
Jahn: “we should probably start to teach the clone English, he’s fluent in Jahnish, but English is the primary language of Vineland.”
Another jahn: “good idea, what words should we start with?”
Jahn: “we need him to speak similar to Vinehsauce...”
Another jahn: “reports say that the original swears quite a lot, perhaps we can start there?”
Jahn: “perfect. That will be his next lesson.”
Vlinny stares at his plate of white bread and grey nutrient paste: “I don’t know why, but I feel almost sick of having this every day. Do I have an illness? It’s not like there’s any other food that exists.”
Lumberjahn: “actually, I heard earth and most other planets have a variety of food! Jahns don’t need variety, but maybe since you’re not one you crave that variety... I don’t need variety, but I think I’d like some...”
Vlinny: “oh... okay, I guess that makes sense then...”
Vlinny is practicing combat against some dummies: “how am I doing?”
Jahn: “but you could be doing better, how about you decapitate each of these decoys a different way and we will call it a day! I know you’ve gained a preference for that scythe, but please practice with the other weapons more.”
Vlinny stares at the picture of Vinehsauce on the computer screen. Other than his permanent smile, he has a look of distaste. And envy.: “why... why do I have to be you? You get to be yourself, meanwhile I have to be whatever that is. I don’t think I want to be you though. But I know that doesn’t make sense. I’m your clone. I’m supposed to be you. It’s my soul purpose, why I exist in first place, it’s just-“ he slams his fist on the desk, “I want to be ME... sigh.” He buried his head in his arms. “... I don’t know what that is though...”
Vlinny is admiring the arm part of his future cryo suit. It fitted like a glove. He practiced flexing his fingers while wearing it: “this is so cool! It’s much nicer looking than most bland jahn tech I see, and these green light strips? Thank you so much!”
Lumberjahn: “I’m glad you like it, Vinesnauce! The green light strips hold the cooling fluid to help keep you cool. This arm will also be equipped with an ice blaster arm canon! I’m not quite finished with that function yet, but I wanted to see if you liked it!”
Vlinny: “thanks... usually people don’t care if I actually like something or not...”
Vlinny: “hey speaking of which.. can.. can you call me Vlinny?”
Vlinny: “oh it’s just... I don’t like being called Vinesnauce very much, I actually don’t know where I got Vlinny but I like it...”
Lumberjahn: “oh, alright! Vlinny it is then!”
Vlinny: “wait, really!? Thank you!”
