Game 054 [Action/Voice]

[neverplaysfair]

[ It's windy, and it's cold, but Joshua has an anniversary to celebrate in his own quiet way and he's not going to let the weather stop him. His first stop is to swing by his old room, room 7 at Community Housing 5. It's still empty, but he's not surprised to find that both Hanekoma's graffiti and his own long-disabled traps have disappeared from the walls.

After that, he'll spend some time trying to spray paint one of the not-yet-painted walls of House 38. Of course, given that spray paint doesn't like cold temperatures and really doesn't like wind, that's going to produce a result that's about as neat and tidy as you'd expect. So after a little while wrestling with that, he'll head inside to make himself a cup of nostalgia coffee (not as good as Hanekoma's...) and sit down with his journal to warm up. ]

What was your first experiment here, and what did you think about it? [ He giggles. ] For me, I suppose an amusement park made for a rather gentle introduction. Does anyone else remember the Great Mysterio?

Comments

[neverplaysfair]

Ah, now I remember which one you're talking about. Did you find it embarrassing?

[weaponry]

Not as embarrassing as some others. However, I found the apology for taking a guy out to the woods because he was my sword, or at least a limb of him was my sword, a bit awkward. [ Shakes fist at Luceti's shifts. ]

[neverplaysfair]

Do you still apologize for things you've done under the influence of experiments?

[weaponry]

I usually just say I was under the influence of a shift at that moment, or I wasn't myself. I see no reason to apologize for things beyond my control or not my fault.

[neverplaysfair]

Is that always the case? Sometimes, even when you're not yourself, you may do things you should have known better not to do regardless.

[weaponry]

Well then, you can bring it up with whatever possessed me during that shift. I don't think I've done anything seriously twisted while under a shift. I mostly do silly things that end up humiliating me, therefore I feel a need to tell everyone to just disregard it. [ Luckily, she hasn't tried to have sloppy makeouts with the wonderful village of Luceti. ]

[neverplaysfair]

[ But sloppy makeouts are fun! imean- ]

And do they listen?

[weaponry]

Most do, some don't. It doesn't really concern me. They'll usually come around when a shift makes them act a little different.

[neverplaysfair]

Then why bother telling them to disregard it?

[weaponry]

I don't know how they'll react until I tell them. Besides, I still want to explain that I wasn't myself when that happened. They might think otherwise.

[neverplaysfair]

What, that you were using the timing of an experiment to act strangely despite being unaffected? Couldn't you do that anyway and claim otherwise?

[weaponry]

Well, with every shift some are influenced and some aren't. I want people to know that I was one of those that were influenced, not the other way around.

[neverplaysfair]

You could lie about it.
