(β:001), written,

[The camera for this journal has been obscured completely, so that the writer's identity is somewhat of a mystery. It's someone with small, neat handwriting, at least, something close to cursive but not quite there, and almost too perfect to have been written by hand.]

The only useful information I have been able to gather is that I am now part of an experiment on a world other than my own. Why, and how, seem unimportant to my fellow captives, but it does seem as though this communication network has been in use for quite some time. Perhaps the answers are buried further than I have dug.

I do not expect assistance, but I would not mind being pleasantly surprised by it.

[The handwriting that comes back is neat, tidy, but has a distinctly childish flair to it.]

The why and how we don't know. But you're right. This is a different world, and there's a lot of experiments. They can be bad, they can be not so bad.

"Why" and "how" are both pretty subjective. Or well, the first one is, the second one's really just that we only know any specifics.

Neither's unimportant though.

Your writing is strangely good.

[Not that there's anything off about her own. It's neat and well done of course]

[Hm, that's some impressive handwriting.]

The "how" still seems to be undetermined from what I've learned during my own stay here. And even now, most of what I can tell regarding "why" we were brought here appears to be more subjective than fact, perhaps a little different in regards to each person and their own personal tastes on the matter. [He's been here a year or so, and it still bugs him a little that they don't have all the answers here.]

However, if you do have any other questions, I'll do my best to try to answer them for you?

Well the one that's going on for me right now isn't so bad. It's annoying being in a child's body...but it's not awful. Since they didn't take my memories.

[That's good. She likes weird mutant cat things even when she's normal.]

Then there was the last one, where we got sent to an amusement park. Or the one where we were randomly teleported different places every time we went through a door. Those aren't so bad.

What sort of answers are you looking for?

No one really knows those answers. From what we have determined, the world itself brings people in and out with something called "shifts." The Malnosso use this enclosure to experiment on controlling these shifts in order to find a way back. However, all they've managed to achieve is an endless variety of unpredictable effects.

[Sorry Mewtwo, Cilan has a very odd manner of speaking, to say the least. You'd think he'd realize by now that most people here have no idea what the heck he means sometimes, and yet here we are.]

I meant that someone might feel or see things differently here than another person would. Some people don't mind some of the strange occurrences they have here, while others might despise a few of them with their very being. [Hence, it's a matter of one's personal tastes when it comes to how they might feel about certain experiments...or at least that's how it makes sense to him, anyway.]

Some of them are relatively harmless and may simply be a change in scenery or appearance--there was once a time where the area around our house here changed to look like a desert, for example. [That was actually fun though, since it involved a scavenger hunt.] Others, however, might be more invasive and involve tampering with our emotions, or even our memories. [That time everyone had amnesia, that time our memories had been replaced with ones of an alternate life, or even just a month or so ago of thinking his memories were from right before he met Ash certainly come to mind. But he's quick to add--] Thankfully, they don't last very long, a few days at most, before everything seems to resolve itself and return back to normal.

Oh, just a few days. It should pass in time. It always does. This is just the most benign. I mean, it's certainly frustrating.

And as for their purposes? Nobody really knows. They claim it's to send us home but I think that's a lot of lies. They're bad people.

It's not quite concrete because it's unknown and as far as we know unmotivated. But that's for the planet, for the enclosure there is a definite reason, but there's more than one.

video forever. her hoofwriting's kinda sloppy, anyway

[personal profile] wannabolt 2013-11-26 02:50 am (UTC)(link)
Looks like you've already got loads of volunteers, but I might be able to tell you a thing or two. I dunno if I'm an expert or anything, but I'd say that two years is still a ton of experience to work with.

[She smirks, fairly pleased with herself. The handwriting doesn't really phase her, either, since Twilight doesn't exactly use hands, either.]

[personal profile] wannabolt 2013-12-02 04:02 am (UTC)(link)
Nah, there're people who've been around longer.

[She taps her chin with her hoof for a few seconds, tipping her head to the side... and then she just shrugs.]

I dunno what the longest amount of time is, but I'd say at least five years? Either way, it's a heck of a lot of time to be away from our worlds.

Nope, the wings are from the world.

Which reminds me. The wings? They keep you alive. Don't let them get hurt, okay? You'll die if they do. I've had a few close calls since I arrived.

It's difficult to say. They cast these experiments, and occasionally even send us on drafts, but there are some members who have been helpful to us. So I can't say whether they have ulterior motives, or if they're a divided force.

That is one of the mysteries of the world. I don't know how, but if you don't have them, you die. All we actually know about them is that.

[It's a very weird thing.]

I don't like it. I don't like it at all.

Because the people who have people in the barrier want off the planet

Which could be doubted, but there's too much evidence to doubt that

So their main motive is to run tests on us to see how to get off
wannabolt: (um... so)

[personal profile] wannabolt 2013-12-04 05:38 am (UTC)(link)
Gee, that's a tough call. I wanna say at least two weeks, but for all I know, people could disappear after the first day.

[She shrugs. Really, it's even possible that people show up and leave before anyone realizes they're around. There's a headscratcher.]

Well...take for example one incident that happened a few months ago: one day, I had woken up to find that I was missing about [a slight pause as he seems to be gauging how much time that was] a year and half's worth of memories. The last thing that I could remember was the day before a gym battle with a friend of mine. I couldn't remember anything that happened after that day, nor any memory of the life and friends I had here in Luceti. I wasn't the only one either--there were other people who couldn't remember some of their most recent memories either. But after a few days, all of those missing memories came back. It seems the memory loss was only temporary and as a result of an experimental shift that the people in charge here were conducting.

I have also had experience with being unaffected by some shifts--I would still recall everything, but my friends would not remember certain details or had different memories than they had before. Again, these moments typically last for about a few days, and then afterward they would remember everything they had previously forgotten.

...Perhaps saying that "everything was resolved" is a little inaccurate. It's more like "a feeling of normalcy" that comes back after these incidents. They are bothersome, but in comparison to some of the other experiments and such that take place here, these ones in particular are thankfully not as frequent and are in rare taste.
