[ it's obvious from his voice that Kid has quite a number of things already on his mind, but he's pushing them aside for a general message ]I apologize for my laxness regarding a follow up on the wishing experiments.

[ a characteristic, slightly grating laugh comes over the seal-- ]

Heh, cookies? What's this all about?

voice; filtered grimreaping March 18 2011, 04:22:54 UTC

It's not about anything. I couldn't sleep and I had the ingredients on hand.

[ that is the ridiculously oversimplified version of things, but he has seemed a bit less talkative lately ]

[ it's not like they're for you or anything. just kidding, though he did feel a little smug, as was predictable for Izaya. ]

I see. Thank you, then.

[ with that, he came to the kitchen. he figured he might as well partake, though he was really more interested in talking. ]

[ Kid is reading at the kitchen table -- at least, there's a book in front of him, but he looks a million miles away. As promised, twenty-four cookies are cooling on the baking rack and like with just about everything Kid makes, they're abnormally rounded, like he's sculpted them during the baking process... which might actually explain the slightly-burned fingers. ]

You're welcome.

Testing the wishes?

If you need some help, I'd be more than willing to volunteer.

video grimreaping March 18 2011, 04:29:46 UTC

Yes, to find out what can be accomplished with them.

Thank you, miss.

video pinkbunbuns March 19 2011, 04:25:27 UTC

Alright, that sounds reasonable. What do you need done?

Ah, I'm sorry. I haven't introduced myself yet. My name is Euphie, so no 'miss' is necessary.

video grimreaping March 19 2011, 04:38:16 UTC

The gist of the test will be to confirm that multiple people wishing for the same end has more accuracy than one person alone.

Euphie, then. You can call me Kid.

Sure, I'm in. Why would you need to test the wishes, though? They work just as always, weird.

[Video] grimreaping March 18 2011, 05:48:58 UTC

The wishing system here is imprecise at best. By testing the results, we should be able to eliminate accidental wishes. Ultimately, I think it has the potential to help us leave this city.

[Video] heartscrepes March 18 2011, 06:05:02 UTC

Leave the city? Hasn't that been tried by wishing? Plus, the people that have left haven't wished themselves out. What makes you think we can leave by that way?

[Video] grimreaping March 18 2011, 06:18:46 UTC

Yes, but I believe it was tried without any expectation of succeeding. That's also why I'm interested in seeing what can be accomplished with multiple people wishing for the same outcome.

As for why...

Wishing seems to be the only thing in this city which remains extraordinary. It's harder to see if you haven't been here a while, but the changing districts are, as far as I can see, normal for this place. Whereas wishing seems to persist in being unpredictable.

voice; skirtindanger March 18 2011, 07:23:48 UTC

Huh... These wishes are pretty complicated to work with, aren't they.

voice; grimreaping March 18 2011, 16:39:17 UTC

Yes, since much of it seems to rely on the person making the wish, rather than the content of. It's like... making a phone call, except the way you push the buttons means more than what numbers you dial.

[ he sighs ] It's much too imprecise for my liking.

voice; skirtindanger March 23 2011, 20:56:42 UTC

Yeah, you hear about all sorts of mishaps over the seals. The idea of being able to wish for whatever you want sounds nice, but... Seems like even in a fairytale place like this, wishes aren't all they're cut out to be.

Re: voice; grimreaping March 24 2011, 04:33:26 UTC

At least the mishaps serve some purpose. As enlightening as my testing has been, trial and error is still the most practical approach.

clonezart March 18 2011, 07:36:41 UTC

Such a place grants wishes?

grimreaping March 18 2011, 16:41:00 UTC

[ oh, another new one ]

Yes. Either by speaking aloud of thinking clearly for something.

clonezart March 19 2011, 07:02:03 UTC

Any wish? I wish for Steinway D-274 grand piano.

[...a second and...YUP, SOUND OF CRASHING PIANO IN THE BACKGROUND.]

grimreaping March 20 2011, 03:53:24 UTC

Don't wish so carelessly!
