Those of my world, with one exception, seem to have all been afflicted with the same experiment. A series of menus that show various statistics, as well as the items we have at our disposal, and the sudden appearance of whatever thoughts we are having above our heads in small bubbles.

Also, random music with no apparent source.

[salvationfound]

I see. This seems to be the most common effect.

Are you suffering from this as well?

[cladinthedark]

Correct. The only one of us who isn't is a former subordinate of mine, who appears to have only her speech appear, in the form of blue-colored text.

... Furthermore, there appear to be some personality changes involved, but not random ones, though they may appear so at first glance. For example, my group appears to have been filled with the desire to come together in order to form what I can only assume to be an adventuring party.

It is as if... this is merely conjecture, but the personality and behavior alterations seem to be related to various genres of storytelling.

[salvationfound]

I understand your theory, and I agree with it. There are several who aren't behaving that way, such as you and I, yet there are others who wish to play whatever role they've been assigned. Do you a list of names who may be experiencing the latter?

[cladinthedark]

Cecil Harvey, my brother, I'm almost certain. He seems determined to go on some sort of journey to discover the nature of this experiment. His companions... well, following his lead is natural to them, so how much of this is the experiment and how much is simply themselves I cannot know.

[salvationfound]

I will take note of them all the same. Your name?

[cladinthedark]

Golbez. The others are Rosa Farell, Kain Highwind, Edge Geraldine, and Rydia of Mist.

[salvationfound]

Thank you for your information, Golbez. Your assistance is appreciated.

I won't be too redundant but for completion's sake, I am part of this group Golbez mentioned above. The only difference would be personal statistics and equipment listed.

[salvationfound]

I see. Your name?

[eidolon_soul]

Rydia of Mist.

[salvationfound]

What are the specifics of the differences you mentioned?

[eidolon_soul]

Well, I've noticed that many of my friends have higher physical statistic than I do, but at the same time, I have much more magical power than them.
