[The twins are holding their clipboards and checking off things. They look up at Meredith] They're all beginning to access the plain of their own accord now, so it's time to officially begin the experiment! This one should produce better results than the Chimera experiment.

[Meredith stand still, voice light and careless] Perhaps we should explain some things to the subjects. It seems this may facilitate the progress of the experiment.

[The twins frown and tuck their clipboards under their arms in unison] Why do we need to do that?

I have previously given my justification. [Meredith gazes across the plane] We may find it beneficial.

'Beneficial'? [The twins give long, somewhat dramatic sighs] Fiiiine. If they really need to know...

[Turning away from the Twins, Meredith sets her gaze on those nearby] If you are inclined to ask questions of us, we may elect to answer them. Please direct all queries here.

Forgive me if I seem rude, but I did not choose to come here in the first place, and by the astonished air of those I've spoken to, neither did they.

[realitymods]

You may exit any time you like, though you may never leave.

[lamb_of_gold]

I'm aware I may come and go from here at will, I would just like to know why I'm here in the first place...

...Never leave?

[realitymods]

Many people ask such questions. Few seem to find satisfactory answers. Perhaps that is because many do not realise where they truly are.

[a slow, amused smile]

Madame, you are a thoroughly confusing woman. I seek only to know the meaning of this gathering. If I desired a lecture on the meaning of existence, then there is a man at home who could lecture me for years and be only halfway through.

The question I ask is simple. The answer should, then, follow suit.

[realitymods]

[still smiling] It seems to me that 'why' is rarely a simple question.

[lamb_of_gold]

In my experience the opposite is true. Something happens because of something else. It is not a complicated concept.

[realitymods]

Then perhaps yours is a reality of simplistic causality.

[lamb_of_gold]

Are you calling me simple, Madame?

[realitymods]

Do you believe I am, Aries Mu?

[lamb_of_gold]

I do, Madame, and I do not appreciate it.

[realitymods]

Very well.

[lamb_of_gold]
