Let's see...I guess they do reports too.

Oh Tse~eng, fearless leader! Observations indicate an experiment has been in progress since at least Monday morning. Signs are--oh, reports should be confidential, shouldn't they?--well, I don't think there's any too private about this. And filters take too long anyway. Anyway, it looks like everyone affected wants to be try a new job. Guess what mine is. [Yes, she's still wearing the suit. :| At least you know with her hygiene standards that she's been keeping it washed and fresh.] So, boss~ what are the orders?

If you don't have any, I'll just keep practicing for now. Which reminds me. [She straightens up, smooths out one of the suit's lapels, and puts on a perfectly friendly smile.]

Who'd like to volunteer for a kidnapping? I promise no one will get hurt! This is for the development of creative problem-solving skills. [aka "getting by with methods that are not 100% legal".] And you may learn important skills as well! I don't expect you to just sit back and take it, after all. Having been kidnapped multiple times, I can tell you being abducted is hardly a passive experience, and it wouldn't be educational for me if you just came quietly.

To see if I can. And...well, I guess if people get rough resisting someone might get a little scratched up...it really won't be anything serious, though! And I'll have healing magic just in case. But no one should need it, so don't worry.

[Incredulous pause.] Just to see if you can? That...

Look, kidnapping isn't something to play around with!

But...! [s-sob it's so hard because she KNOWS he's right and she's a bit worried about upsetting him but she really wants to kidnap someone.] This isn't...real kidnapping. Everyone volunteers and they'll only be held up for a while! Then they go back to whatever they were doing before.

Even so... just to see if you can... [Yeah, this bothers him on a rather personal level. Good luck reassuring him :| ] This isn't a game! Do you even have any idea--

[Oop. Cutting off there. Too late not upsetting him if his breathing is any indication.] There are some things you shouldn't even pretend to do...

[gardenerofgaia.livejournal.com]

...Of course I have an idea. Everyone who comes here has an idea what kidnapping is like. [And personal experience is something she has too much of, but it's not something she'd like to drag into this.]

[1blackcat.livejournal.com]

[No. They don't. Not really, as far as he's concerned. The experience is completely different. That is to say, half missing for anyone in Luceti.]

You seem like a nice girl, so I won't pursue this issue any further but...

[But what, Omi? You're supposed to be Vanna White now, remember? :| ]

You're sure this won't ever go beyond pretending with volunteers?

[gardenerofgaia.livejournal.com]

I promise. Pretend is all it'll be. I don't want...anyone to be scared like that, or think they're actually in danger. [If the experiment did change personal values there'd be trouble, but as it is the thrill-seeking "let's be a Turk" urge is kept in check.]

[Sound of acknowledgment.] Then, I'll take my leave. Excuse me...
