You guys captured Purity?

Original pulls away to say, "I should make another copy of me and one of you. Can you expect both of those to exist really hard?"

[first_and_final]

"Absolutely. What are you going to do with three of you?"

[msglam]

"Well, right now I want one of me to be a boy me and watch you two make out, and then watch you make out with the other you, or the other way around, or maybe the three of you can figure out how three-way makeouts work."

[mrglam]

Pop, pop! Two new people.

[first_and_final]

Ashras giggles and kisses the boy-copy.

Copy-Ashras looks speculatively at girl-copy-Sadde.

[msglam]

Girl-copy-Sadde is happy to follow the speculative look to its logical conclusion.

Real Sadde... watches this all with a lot of interest. "I do wonder if we shouldn't find a more private place that's not my place."

[first_and_final]

"Yet another reason why I want my wings. We could just portal into my Sphere and make out with ourselves to our hearts' content."

[msglam]

Copies continue making out! Boy-copy now eyes original speculatively. "Making out is only the tip of the iceberg of what I'd like to do with all of you, gorgeous."

[first_and_final]

"How much attention can one pay to a conjured thing before it goes away?" wonders Ashras. "Let's find out."

[msglam]

"It has something to do with which sense is used. Touch is the least sensitive of them, I have found. The order's touch, smell, hearing, taste, and vision."

[mrglam]

Boy-copy looks very hungrily at original Sadde while the two extant copies continue making out, so she indulges and kisses him.

[first_and_final]

"Least sensitive meaning what?"

[msglam]

She has a few more seconds of making out with herself before she pulls away again and says, "Meaning I need more of it to count as proper squinting."

[first_and_final]

"...Really."

Ashras glances at copy-Ashras. Copy-Ashras, despite not apparently paying any attention, breaks away from kissing copy-Sadde and comes over to kiss original-Ashras. They will thoroughly test how much touch-based squinting a copied person can endure.

[msglam]

Well, all three Saddes will have to stop and stare at that, won't they?

It turns out the answer is "only slightly less detailed than needed to memorize the topography of a person's skin," if that's a coherent and generalizable concept.

[first_and_final]

Copy-Ashras vanishes after some serious kissing.

Original-Ashras says, "...Well. Are you sure we couldn't all fit on the bed on your floor? How sure?"

[msglam]

The three of them are staring.

"That was incredibly hot," boy-copy opines.

"Very," girl-copy agrees.

"I'm somewhat sure? I'm not completely sure. And it occurs to me that we're in the middle of the ocean so as long as I don't fall asleep I could actually probably conjure a larger room here..."

[first_and_final]

"...It occurs to me that we're in the middle of the ocean and if you get to the point of wanting to fall asleep you will nevertheless have to fly us all the way back to shore and then go home. Maybe we should take our chances with the size of your floor."

[msglam]

"Fair enough, I suppose." The two copies disappear. "We got distracted, though. Was there more you wanted to test?"

[first_and_final]

"...Yes but it can wait and I really want to explore the possibilities of duplicate makeouts right now."

[msglam]

"Awww, but I wouldn't want to keep you from your science." She lands and takes a few steps to close the small gap to him, sliding a finger along his chest. "I'd feel so bad if I distracted you."

[first_and_final]

"And yet, here you are, distracting me." He kisses her. There may be growling.

[msglam]

Oooh, growling! That's very exciting. She wraps her arms around him, but pulls away. "Dear me, am I. What a terrible person I am."

[first_and_final]

"You're delightful," kiss, "and delicious," kiss, "and beautiful," kiss, "and I adore you."

[msglam]

"Hmmm, I think I am wicked. Look at me, keeping you from productive, prosocial work, just with my aura. Gosh, who knows what I could do if I actually tried! I must have a silver tongue."
