Loud Verse: Citadel of Loris

Far From Home

Lori #2 was trying to rest as Lori #200 walked in. She's seen the Original Lori, and technically, she hates it.

Lori #200 said, "The Citadel really is nice." Then, suddenly, she saw Lori #2 looking unnerved. "What's with you?"

"I just saw clones of Lori with the original mind of the Prime Lori." Lori #2 said. "And I have NEVER been this annoyed."

"You were just created yesterday." Lori #200 said, annoyed.

"I knew the girl was bad news, but I'd never thought I'd experience her being annoying and irritating." Lori #2 said. "And I don't want any other Child Clones going near her because of this."

"Wait, there's Child Clones?" Lori #200 said, surprised.

"Yes, and they're so innocent and sweet. I don't want anyone to lose that innocence." Lori #2 said.

"Look, why don't I just check out the Lori Clones for myself tomorrow morning, see if they're sweet and adorable." Lori #200 shrugged.

"12 and 16 seem to like them." Lori #2 said, getting up. "I should ask why. Where are they?"

"Next Door."

As Bedtime happened, Loris #12 and #16 entered their room, dressing up in their nightwear, and they were talking about the Child Loris and Nerdy Loris and what they did for activities.

"They were so precious." Lori #16 said. "They loved playing with each other."

"I showed her where she was going to learn, and she got that other Lori to come along back with her." Lori #12 said. Then, they heard a door knocking. #12 walked up to the door and opened it. She saw a curious Lori #2.

"Hi, Lori #2." Both 16 and 12 said.

"You spent a lot of time with those kids, didn't you?" Lori #2 asks, curious as she entered the building.

"Yeah, they're so sweet." Lori #16 said, happily.

"Child Lori #1 helped a shy Lori clone come with her!" Lori #12 said, heartwarmingly. "They're so cute!"

"And with more Child Versions of Lori on the way in the Cloning Process, they'll be so happy." Lori #16 said, eyes sparkling like water under the sun.

"You seem really close to them." Lori #2 said.

"What's wrong with that?" Lori #16 said.

"Nothing, but it's almost as if you have a mother-daughter relationship with those clones." Lori #2 said. "Maybe you could help with keeping Lori in a good light, because I may OR may not have found something bad about Lori."

"How bad could it be?" Lori #12 asks.

"It's best if you'd see the domed district Loris and maybe you'll understand." Lori #2 said.

"We're going to have more Lori clones in the citadel, so it's only a matter of time before they figure it out."

Lori #2 realized the clone was right. The younger clones will find out, and it might not be pretty if she kept lying about Lori's behavior. She was caught in a pickle, alright.

"Well, what should we do if they find out the bad things about Lori?" Lori #2 asks.

"We'll cross that bridge when we come to it." Lori #16 said.

That night, the Child Lori clones were asleep in their separate beds/rooms, dreaming of many childish things, they were like little angels when they sleep. Their night attire was the same as the older Lori's sleep attire, However, two child Loris can't sleep. They tossed and turned for hours, being unable to get used to sleeping in a room with a bunch of lookalikes.
