[B and L stand beside each other, both slouched, both with fingers to their mouths, both with thoughtful eyes - and, of course, both wearing the same clothes and sporting the same hairstyle. After a few moments of looking around at everybody, B speaks.] Has anyone experienced some form of integration between their reality and another's? We would appreciate any information on this subject.

Hm, very interesting.

Do you have any control over this 'integration' that you're aware of?

[contract_star]

[Frowns and is silent for a bit.] I'm...not sure. I've never tried it. That's an interesting idea, though. Hm...

[sucre-justice.livejournal.com]

Indeed. I'm curious, as well, obviously.

Perhaps you could try?

[contract_star]

Hm. At the very least, the mergers themselves seem to come about based on "closeness"--getting to know a person. But I could try to see if I could effect which parts of reality end up merging...or if I could keep certain parts out...

[Blinks as he remembers something.] A wall, maybe...[Trails off, lost in thought.]

[b-ittersweets.livejournal.com]

...Closeness? [B stares at him blankly. He almost wants to compare his reality with L's even more now, in order to see how supposedly "close" they are.]

How would you try to affect it? Do you have a plausible method in mind?

... [B notices the way he trails off.] A wall?

[contract_star]

[Looking between them a bit warily, because whoa, dopplegangers.] Emotional closeness, I think. Like...[frowns just a little,] between friends.

There's another person here whose reality was merging with someone else's, only he didn't want the merge to happen. I suggested he "build a wall" between the realities. Not a literal wall, rather...[Trying to explain it in non-Contractor/Gate/crazy terms] a mental wall. Like visualizing a wall between realities. Of course in that case you need to know where the edges are. He didn't take my advice, anyway, so I have no idea whether it would even work or not.

But if you could find one of those spots where your reality is blending with someone else's--if you could envision a wall around it...[Shrugs.] I don't know. I'm not even sure if we're capable of affecting things on that level.

[b-ittersweets.livejournal.com]

[He ponders on this.]

How close would you say you are to the person whose reality you are merging with? [He seems not to notice that this may be a personal question.]

[contract_star]

We're...

...friends. I guess.

[sucre-justice.livejournal.com]

Could you elaborate?

[contract_star]

[Frowns.] I've spent time with him. We talk pretty often, I suppose. [Shrugs.] I don't know.

[sucre-justice.livejournal.com]

Ahh, I see.

In that case, was there any particular event that could, so to speak, be considered the 'catalyst' for your realities merging?

[contract_star]

[Hei thinks back and he remembers the conversation with Milo. He's silent for awhile, thinking of how to phrase it.]

I told him about something I don't tell to most people.

[b-ittersweets.livejournal.com]

[B thinks. If that can be a cause for realities to merge...]

Are you positive that your realities hadn't integrated before that time?

[contract_star]

It's possible. There were certain areas in Tokyo that seemed...fuzzy, I suppose, before that. But there was no major integration until then.
