bakerstreet | the CLONE HIGH meme

WAY WAY BACK IN THE 1980s, secret government employees cloned a bunch of famous guys and ladies and made amusing genetic copies. That's you. Yes, you. You're a clone and you've known you're a clone all your life. You've had access to everything the old you has ever done - whether it be through text books or by hunkering down to binge watch your whole series. You were raised by an... interesting set of parents, and brought up in the good old town of Exclamation, USA.

Now? You're gonna make it if you try. You aren't beholden to the mistakes (or the good choices) of your predecessor! You can make out with the clone of your arch-nemesis if you want. You can laugh, you can cry.

Welcome to the CLONE HIGH meme.

1. JUST AN ORDINARY DAY. Not everything is dramatic when it comes to being a clone. You put your bra on one leg at a time every morning just like everyone else. Go out on a date, get your homework done, head to the mall, contemplate what life is going to be like on the other side of those highschool doors. Today is your day to do whatever you please.
2. REACTING TO YOUR SOURCE. Man, you thought you knew everything about who you came from. Unfortunately -- not so much. You've just uncovered something you never knew before. Maybe you killed your best friend! Maybe you did something really embarrassing in that one special episode. Whatever it is, you're reeling.
3. PROMPOSAL. Prom is almost upon us! You need to ask out the most popular clone in school. A promposal is even more important than a proposal. You need to go big!
4. DUPLICATE DRAMA! Oh no. You aren't the only you! Maybe this is your chance to make a new friend, someone who really gets the kind of burden you were born (well, created) into! Or maybe they just really want to kill you.
5. MAKEOVER. Man, you need a new look. A new vibe. Maybe you want to catch the eye of that special someone, or maybe you just really want to finally escape the crushing weight of your original's legacy... or maybe your friend is just really eager to play dress-up. Either way, this is a chance to explore who you are!
6. IDENTITY CRISIS. Okay, this makeover has been taken to a new level. Now you're really pretending to be somebody else - and the clone of somebody else. Are you trying to find out what really happens in the locker rooms? Get some info about your crush? Or maybe you were banned from the Sports Ball team and just need a chance to prove that you can play sports as good as any other clone!
7. SPORTS FRENZY. Clone High just won the big game! What game? Doesn't matter! It's time to let loose all that excitement. Now is an excellent time to get riled up and pick a fight. Did you see the pool? They flipped the bitch!
8. PRESIDENT ELECTION. Time to get elected class president. Perhaps your original was an authority figure and you're doing your damnedest to live up to their great legacy... or maybe you just really want to abolish homework. Either way there are corporate sponsors waiting in the wings to fund your campaign. All you need to do is abandon some of your pesky little morals and push their product.
9. PROM. The big day has finally arrived. Did you land that hot date? Are you going stag? Tonight will be the night to end all nights. Dance with your date, fall in love, destroy the shadowy figures that created you and are now trying to weaponize you - wait, hold on a sec, what? That's right! Prom's half unforgettable night of your life and half fight for your life! Get a dance, drink some spiked punch, and throw a punch!
10. WILDCARD. There's a lot you can do in a highschool full of clones. Too much to list here! Maybe you want to be a little more serious, or maybe you want to go full silly. Do whatever your little cloney heart desires!
