[Nezumi has already figured out the basics of everything going on and he‘s surveyed the area. He's still curious how all of this works and so it's time to use the journal he received. Important questions and all of that.]

Free food, free shelter, and free everything. Isn’t that just impressive? Much like that library we have is. It has a lot of ( Read more... )

voice, he's just a little paranoid

While you do bring up good points, there have been people who've lived here for quite some time to vouch for the food's safety. If the food wasn't safe, they would be getting sick all the time and dying. Is that not correct?

[ voice ] asquiet November 12 2011, 23:28:33 UTC

Correct, but they could do other things with the food than getting you sick or killing you. More subtle things.

[ voice ] refinedmaestro November 12 2011, 23:31:54 UTC

More subtle things? I'd like an example if you please.

[ voice ] asquiet November 12 2011, 23:34:19 UTC

Drugs to change your behavior. Maybe make you more sleepy or paranoid. Or perhaps aphrodisiacs. I mean things like that.

[ voice ] refinedmaestro November 12 2011, 23:54:50 UTC

That's what the experiments are for, sir. So putting it in our food subtly is not something they'd do when they can use that for experiments.

[ voice ] asquiet November 13 2011, 00:30:48 UTC

[He laughs.] You're thinking too simply here and trusting too easily. Just because things always happen when an experiment is obvious doesn't mean it's always going to be that way. Don't rely on those things.

Ever heard of a placebo?

[ voice ] refinedmaestro November 13 2011, 00:37:44 UTC

No, I'm not thinking simply or trusting very easily. Besides, there are some of us who can use magic to make the food safe if we wished.

And for the record, no I haven't.

[ voice ] asquiet November 13 2011, 00:47:52 UTC

[Oh right. Magic can be used here. He'd forgotten about that detail because he still isn't sure about that one. But he won't be letting anybody know he's unsure about something like that.] Ever use it on your food?

A placebo is a fake, but if you're told it's the real thing? Your mind tricks you into believing it is and so it works as if it wasn't artificial.

[ voice ] refinedmaestro November 13 2011, 01:35:18 UTC

[He sighs then takes a long pause to think before he answers him.] I have, at times. Of course, I don't use it that often.

And I see, I've never heard of that before. I don't think we have those in my era.

[ voice ] asquiet November 13 2011, 06:37:28 UTC

Your era?

[ voice ] refinedmaestro November 13 2011, 06:38:31 UTC

Yes, I'm from earth during the nineteenth century. Where do you hale from, if I am allowed to ask?

[ voice ] asquiet November 13 2011, 06:48:12 UTC

[He laughs and shakes his head.] My, my. They really did pick an interesting bunch. I come about 200 years later than that.

[ voice ] refinedmaestro November 13 2011, 07:02:36 UTC

So you are from earth as well and are from my future. Can you tell me about your era?

[ voice ] asquiet November 14 2011, 16:30:18 UTC

[He thinks about how to answer that.]

It's really not too different. People stayed the same. No big breakthroughs.

[ voice ] refinedmaestro November 14 2011, 21:33:13 UTC

I hear that in the future, people drive around in automobiles and use electricity. There's also crafts called airplanes, that sounds like a great improvements over my era.

[ voice ] asquiet November 14 2011, 23:09:25 UTC

Technology changes, sure. It has been since the beginning. It doesn't really mean much.
