[the camera takes a moment to focus, but does eventually; have a half-smiling Charles. he looks much better than he did before, for whoever found him in the cafeteria. he's much better rested, at least. there's a mogwai rolling on his bed in the background. he seems to be sitting on the floor.]Aah, seems I've finally figured this out. Hello, fellow

You're looking much better, Charles. How do you feel?

[forgodssakeerik]

Much improved, thank you. I realized I was still attempting to use my ability to full power; now that I've toned it down a bit, I don't have a headache.

[a small smile.]

At least, not nearly as badly as before.

How are you?

[splice_of_life]

I'm really not too terrible this week. The experiment seems to be a fairly tame one.

[forgodssakeerik]

It's confusing, if I'm to be honest. I don't see a point to it..

[splice_of_life]

They are interested in the way we act and react. I've no idea why they've given us all furry creatures... Perhaps as some sort of comfort experiment. I can't be sure.

[forgodssakeerik]

Such an odd set of rules. Perhaps they think we'll disregard them?

[splice_of_life]

You don't want to.

[Does he sound scared? He feels it.]

I've been trying to figure it out. But there's no pattern. Some people are dangerous. They kill each other over and over...they terrorize each other. And the tests-- I don't know.

I wish I did. I wish there was at least a reason for this.

[forgodssakeerik]

I think the reason is that there is no reason. Scientists out of control, for no particular goal than near torture..

[splice_of_life]

You know... It's actually worse knowing that there's no purpose to any of this.

[forgodssakeerik]

You mustn't let that depress you, my friend. You need to stay positive..

[splice_of_life]

I'm certainly trying. We should get together to have a chat. I've a piece of cake from that awful auction...

[forgodssakeerik]

That sounds lovely. I can meet you in the cafeteria again, if you'd like.

[splice_of_life]

Ah, yes, certainly. Have you been to the rec room yet? That's rather nice.

[forgodssakeerik]

No, I haven't. To be honest, I haven't, ah... left my room much.

[splice_of_life]

I know how that is... Listen, let me take care of a few things--

[Like oh, sneaking out?]

I'll meet you in half an hour?

[forgodssakeerik]

It might take me that long to find it.

[soft smile.]

Be safe? I'll see you shortly.
