Loud Verse: Citadel of Loris

Roots Sprouting

The Child Loris should be sleeping by now, but certain disagreements are keeping them up.

"Who really cares?" Child Lori #36 said, sternly. "They found a room to sleep in, they're fine! I'm sure they won't mind."

"How so?" Child Lori #100 asks. The other Child Lori clones ask afterwards.

"Look, it's just ONE night!" Child Lori #36 said, annoyed as she got under the covers and went to sleep. "I'm sure the girls will be fine."

"That's still Clone #1's bed!" Child Loris #29 and #229 said, grabbing #36 by the arms and attempting to yank her out of the bed. But the clone refused to budge as she remained on the bed.

"It's just one night! Just relax!" Child Lori #36 said, sternly. She yawned, "I am in no mood to deal with this!"

"She's probably right, we should get some sleep." Child Lori #91 said, getting between the 3 of them. "We might have a long day ahead of us."

"Fine by me!" Child Lori #36 shrugged as she dozed off. While most of the Child Loris went to sleep, Child Lori #29 glared at #36 in annoyance. But they were interrupted by more Child Loris coming in, much to their surprise.

"Did the cloning machine make more of us?" Child Lori #99 said.

"We're like you, but we have some of Lori's memories." Domed District Child Lori #91 said.

"We're just staying here until there are enough Child Lori rooms for each place.

Back in the classroom, Lori #2949 was waiting for all the info to be downloaded as she tapped her foot impatiently. What's taking too long?

"Schedule Downloaded! Communicator asks for permission to download more info." The Contactor said.

"Deny the permission." Lori #2949 said, unplugging the contactor and leaving as she said to herself, "One thing we need." Then she started to get curious about the type of clones that will be generated by tomorrow morning as she asks, "What kind of Lori clones will be generated tomorrow?"

"It all depends on when the Soldiers get the Interdimensional Crystals." The Contactor replied.

"Is there a chance a Lori could create their own duplicates?" Lori #2949 asks. "Or maybe edit the copy's programming?"

"It's not likely, but possible."

"So, it would be possible to create Clones and edit their personalities?"

"As previously stated, Not likely, but possible."

"Then there might be a way to keep the real Lori in a positive light then..." Lori #2949 said.

In Lori #2's room, Lori #2 started to be exhausted, she looked for thousands of emotionclones and she was worked over by the other clones. She noticed #200 already asleep in her bed, she might as well go to bed, she's got a lot to look forward to when it comes to trying to keep all the Loris in line.

Suddenly, she notices a Young Lori clone in her bed, this one was one of the Loris at the age of 7 1/2, she had pigtails and a missing tooth. How did a child Lori get into the bedroom?

Lori #2 poked the girl awake. She stirred awake as she asks, "Who's there?" The younger Lori looked and saw it was Lori #2.

"What are you doing here?" Lori #2 asks. "Shouldn't you be with the other Child Loris?"

"I couldn't find them, I got lost after I left the other clones at the Domed district for lunch." Young Lori said, sadly. "This seemed like a nice place to stay for a little while."
