Hauntings. How quaint

We can only hope this isn't to weaken us for something worse.

[chikaidestroyer]

The idea of experiments taking place one after another isn't unheard of. The barrier dissipating and then the wing illness taking effect comes to mind.

[graciousheart]

We should just prepare for the worst, then.

[chikaidestroyer]

Indeed. It would be best everyone keep that in mind, but there may be difficulties with the more erratic individuals.

[compos_mentis]

No.

[chikaidestroyer]

Unless you intend to render yourself senseless for the duration of this experiment, Miss Parker, you have few alternatives.

[She doesn't really have a further response (that Albert can understand) but from here on out there some muttering in a language which sounds something like radio static, because it's from a set of vocal cords entirely different fro ma human's. It's somewhere between anger and fear. The journal's picture thing isn't picking up anything either, because it's face-down on the floor. Not that she expects Albert to do anything, but she happens to be being haunted by the one possible ghost that she could not handle]

[The inhuman ... shriek-like speech is definitely a little jarring, but Albert doesn't respond. He's certainly aware of what Nina is capable of, and not being sure of any upper threshold to her strength leaves him unwilling to press for more information.]

Whatever it is, it naturally seems to be having it's intended effect on the majority of the population. As usual.

[chikaidestroyer]

As usual.

You are faring well under these conditions, Professor?

[wise_maiden]

I'm... fine.

I suppose this will hinder anything I intended to do with the school this week, so it's as good a time as any to get back to researching.

[chikaidestroyer]

Indeed.

It's a pity; it seems a vast amount of population suffers from traumatic experiences with the dead in their pasts.

[chikaidestroyer]

I will say the same of which I said to Miss Parker: Unless you intend to render yourself senseless for the duration of this experiment, you have few alternatives.

[chikaidestroyer]

Of course I am.

[themoonuplifts]

They probably don't have a reason for doing what they're doing. Maybe they're just messing with us to mess with us.

[chikaidestroyer]

That explanation could be used for every experiment they have dealt upon us.

[themoonuplifts]

Exactly.

[chikaidestroyer]

Would you like to think that our captors had no particular reason to rip you from your own world, force you to endure these experiments, allow you to befriend individuals from other worlds only to watch them suffer as well, other than because they wish to "mess with us"?
