[There is a kid lying down on the roof of House 42, soaking up some afternoon sun. Looks like he managed to get up there via the open skylight a few feet away from his current position. His eyes are closed, but is he really asleep?

Try not to tell him to jump off, though. With people randomly doing whatever they're told all over town, he might just do it. No really, please don't.]

[Cheeky bastard.]

You're a little talkative for someone who's asleep.

[kendama-pro.livejournal.com]

Maybe I talk in my sleep.

[dawndigger.livejournal.com]

So I could be talking to dreaming Genis?

[kendama-pro.livejournal.com]

Possibly. What do you think, Simon?

[dawndigger.livejournal.com]

I think you're teasing me.

[kendama-pro.livejournal.com]

[Moves to look peer over and down at you now, Simon.]

Nah, not teasing, I promise. But it was a weird question to ask though.

How've you been, Simon?

[dawndigger.livejournal.com]

I guess it was kinda weird. [Headscratch.] I'm okay! Though I'm kind of worried about what I'm supposed to do about going home.

[kendama-pro.livejournal.com]

What about going home? You live right across from me.

[dawndigger.livejournal.com]

Usually. Since everybody left I've been living with Kamina. So I don't know if I'm supposed to go home or not...

[kendama-pro.livejournal.com]

Hm, okay then. Are you affected by the experiment, Simon? If you are - find out from Cloud what the hell's going on and what you should do.

[dawndigger.livejournal.com]

...Huh? What experiment? [/HASN'T FOLLOWED THE JOURNALS, IS AWESOME.]

[kendama-pro.livejournal.com]

There's an experiment going on - it's making some people do exactly what they're told. It's kind of chaotic.

[dawndigger.livejournal.com]

Really? My papa would like this experiment a lot.

[kendama-pro.livejournal.com]

Yeah? Why?

[dawndigger.livejournal.com]

Every parent wants their kids to be obedient, right?

[kendama-pro.livejournal.com]

Heh, yeah, I guess so!

Pretty sure I heard him grumbling about it the other day, though.

[dawndigger.livejournal.com]

I bet he was. He doesn't like being bossed around!

[kendama-pro.livejournal.com]

Don't think anyone does, really. It's been a pretty crazy couple of days with everyone complaining about doing things they don't wanna do.

[dawndigger.livejournal.com]

I guess I've been out and about too much to really notice, but people have been running around a lot lately, huh...

[kendama-pro.livejournal.com]

They probably were asked to run around the village. Could've sworn I saw someone run past in his underwear, too. Huh.

[dawndigger.livejournal.com]

I-I hope nobody runs around naked. [Though if it were girls, Kamina would be really, really happy.]

[kendama-pro.livejournal.com]

I'm a little surprised no one's thought to say that, though. Looks like they're trying to outdo each other in pointless stupidity.

[dawndigger.livejournal.com]

I wonder if it would help if someone told everyone to stop bossing people around?

[kendama-pro.livejournal.com]

Huh, I wonder. Maybe. Colette announced over the journals that she wanted everyone to be happy - and it worked, for the most part. For awhile.

[dawndigger.livejournal.com]

That's really cool! You could tell everybody to have a good day, or to smile more, or to tell a funny joke- and they'd be a lot happier, right?
