[OPEN] Let's experiment on the experiment...ers.
WHO: Tsuruno Yui (fanstheflames), (strongroots), and YOU.
WHAT: Spreading word about the experiment
WHERE: Around the City! Outside your apartment, in your face-- But also a portion of it at the Welcome Diner
WHEN: From early October to before the City event on the 19th!
WARNINGS: None!
There's a pair on a mission--and hopefully, a pair capable of wrangling some of their friends to join in on sharing out some fliers they've made for an experiment. But as it is, you may meet this pair when they knock at the door of where you're staying, or while you're out on the streets! Each with a friendly face, from the boy's calm nod and "Hey--you got a minute?" or the girl's [description here].
Or you've escaped meeting them in person, but found their flier slipped under the door of where you're staying. And on it reads...
PLEASE READ! A group of us want to hold an experiment on how the city will react if we don't go to a new location immediately or any event it runs. The newsletter they gave out mentioned a Halloween party, and the report in the office also mentioned a test running from the 19th to 31st of October.
What happens if we run our own party in this timeframe? What happens if we don't take part in their experiments? We should test how they react.
Don't talk about this on the network. Come to the Welcome Diner if you want to find out more. We want to hold a meeting with everyone about this plan on the 14th at the diner.
Let's see how willing they are to act.
If you come to the Welcome Diner, Robby Keene and Tsuruno Yui can be found, especially during the first week and a half of the month; others, too, with the activity taking place there. But the pair are usually behind the counter, or Robby.
Take any of the above locations -- outside your character's apartment, on the streets, or the Welcome Diner -- as a place to bump into them, or to be bumped into.
[ lookie here. ]

That's cool. [ Said, with some awe even in his eyes. ] Uh-- yeah, seeing if anyone triggers that would be cool. [ Though, he wonders: ] Have you tried it in other places around the city? Like the shops?
[ Lots of people try to catch them being restocked, to no avail... ]
no subject
I've made attempts, but the problem is keeping a barrier up takes up a lot of my energy. The people who brought us here have suppressed my natural output, so I can't maintain more than one at a time. It isn't effective for setting traps for tracking the movements of the people keeping us here.
no subject
Have you been able to figure out anything 'bout how they're doing that? With your powers. I know there was talk about it before.
[ Or, something like it. It's more a general curiosity than anything, though Robby figures he already knows the answer. ]
no subject
[ Her power is great for making her punch things hard enough to make a hole in them. Curtains can only do so much and can't be maintained for a long time without extra set up. ]
If you welcome speculation... the restocking would be easy to perform if this place isn't real. As in we observe it as a physical space because we are in it, but it's all constructed on their end and can be altered at any moment. Like how you can edit a photo on your phone.
no subject
So...it's a total fabrication? But we can interact with everything. [ It's not a point against her speculation, more of a and we can than a but. ]
no subject
... Of course in a normal situation, I would dismiss this idea. But in our circumstances, it isn't so far fetched.

[ It's ok, she gets it, some people might not have The Matrix at home. ]
But yes, effectively that. It would also explain how people can die and then return to life.
no subject
I mean... I guess anything's possible when nothing makes sense. But bringing people back from the dead isn't that crazy if people can really do anything out there.
[ It's just his perspective, though, and not really dismissing the point. ]
no subject
I don't really have any evidence of my claims, but I do feel confident this is all a very long and elaborate lab experiment. To what end is hard to deduce.
no subject
And if we're real people from different worlds, I mean, I always figured they needed to really test whatever they're doing on us to make sure it works on us. The ice cream that messes with your head? The personal items that made us talk about ourselves?
Controlling people even under stress has got to be good to work out.
