☇ 01 | I got the feeling that something ain't right.

[ Standing there on the Astral Plane is a slightly bewildered young girl. She looks no more than seven years of age and is dressed in tan knee-length shorts, a red turtle-neck top, slippers and a white lab coat tailored to fit her petite size. For a moment she just gazes about the place, trying to take it all in before bringing a hand to her face and massaging the space between her eyes. ]

I am aware of the fact that there are those who are fond of science fiction and the likes, but even this could be considered a bit too much. It isn't like the professor to have such a place within one of the storage supply closets of his home. Not mention I certainly don't see this being a joke on Conan's part either - I don't see how he could possibly accomplish this.

No... this must all just be a dream. Even that too is just slightly irrational. From nightmares to unexplainable inter dimensional closet?

[ There's an unmistakable sigh from the girl that sounds much too like a grown-up. ]

Oh, yes, Haibara, you're slowly beginning to crack. This is what you get for allowing those children to convince you to watch those ridiculous cartoons this morning. A six hour marathon? It could have been better spent on the research.

I see.

[ For a moment Ai looks around the Plane. Then with a shrug of her shoulders she figures she might as well see if this boy is right. Without saying a word she turns around and starts walking back the way she came. She drops from the plane and is gone for a full thirty seconds before returning once more. ]

... Interesting.

[she gets it, so, no need to dwell]

Apparently, this is an experiment. The purpose and nature of the experiment is unclear. [also how another scientist could replicate the results in another study, because seriously, guys, that's how science works, don't be bad scientists] More obvious experiments appear to be performed from time to time; recently, this took the form of chains attached to pairs of people's legs. The purpose of these experiments are also usually unknown.

[ she's usually quick on the uptake ]

This plane is an experiment and we, the visitors, are test subjects for the Twins and Meredith to use. [ She's keeping a great track record here, going from one experiment to the next. ] And for all we know it could very well be for their amusement.

[ex_fatalist246]

[he appreciates it]

That's a fair assessment.

[asmallamoroso.livejournal.com]

Well then. If it isn't one thing, it's another.

[ex_fatalist246]

[and that's a tautology]

There's also a system of 'merging' where different worlds will come together. I have no experience on this.

[asmallamoroso.livejournal.com]

[ Mental note taking ftw. ]

I'll keep that in mind then.

[he considers if there's anything else worth sharing]

There's a kitchen here which will restock itself if you need anything.

[what? He doesn't like making food. This is clearly important information]

Most people contact the twins by calling for them here.

[asmallamoroso.livejournal.com]

[ the professor usually does the cooking so it doesn't make any difference to her ]

Do they ever visit here without being called upon?

[ex_fatalist246]

I've never seen it.

[asmallamoroso.livejournal.com]

Our "scientists" are very clever then. To better observe an experiment, the best results can be confirmed when the experimenter isn't seen during most of the process.

[ex_fatalist246]

When they're so obviously influencing results with their actions, does it really matter?

[that's genuinely unknowing; science isn't his area]

[asmallamoroso.livejournal.com]

They may be taking themselves into account as being factors in their experiment.

[ex_fatalist246]

[a pause]

My name is Hiwatari Satoshi.

[asmallamoroso.livejournal.com]

And my name is Haibara Ai.

[ex_fatalist246]

If that's all?

[asmallamoroso.livejournal.com]

Yes, I can figure the rest out from here.
