>>5787993 “So anyways,” Libby continues with growing irritation in her voice, “They’re omnivorous, mostly, but when it’s time to hunt for new prey, well…” The goth giggles in anticipation, “<span class="mu-i">THAT’S</span> when stuff gets interesting!”
Let me guess, you sigh, already regretting asking her, they turn into their prey, right?
“HAH! Good guess… but a <span class="mu-i">WRONG</span> one!” Scoffs Libby as she triumphantly puffs her chest out! “<span class="mu-i">ACTUALLY</span>, they’ll stalk their prey for weeks on end… some even <span class="mu-i">months!</span> Doppelgangers are known to be <span class="mu-i">really</span> smart, apparently, but also perfectionists… so they won’t adopt a new form until they’re ready… or they’re in danger!”
This is all <span class="mu-i">very</span> terrifying, you interrupt, but is there any way to, like, expose them? Just in case, of course.
“Well like a lot of <span class="mu-s">FAE</span> they don’t like <span class="mu-s">COLD IRON…</span>” Muses the girl as she leans back in her seat and kicks her legs back and forth, “The purer the better! If they’re exposed to it long enough they can develop allergy symptoms and stuff like that.”
“That’s stupid.”
“Didn’t ask, <span class="mu-i">DAD!</span>” Snarls your teacher before settling back down! “There have also been accounts of pets and animals being able to sniff Doppelgangers out… dogs are good, but cats are even better at detecting them. Couldn’t tell you why.”
You frown. Why not?
“... I mean I don’t know why and literally can’t tell you.” Replies Libby with a mixture of confusion and annoyance in her red eyes. “Jeez, dude…”
Sorry, you stammer as you rub the sleep from your eyes, it’s… it’s been a night.
“Yea, no <span class="mu-i">duh</span>...” Scoffs the girl earning another flick to the head from her pops! “OW!”
“Be nice to the kid, Lib–he fought a <span class="mu-r">CAN</span>AD<span class="mu-r">IAN</span>...”
