A. » Room 2-06 // 9:00 AM

[Ed woke promptly at 9:00 AM. Exactly 9:00 and not one second later, but he wasn't really that concerned about the time. For one he didn't remember going to sleep at all. The last thing he could remember was walking down the stairs and then... nothing. But that wasn't all. On the nightstand by his bed there was a note.

He shot up and reached for it, swinging his legs over the side of the bed as he unfolded it. Ed had to read it over a couple of times, he wanted to think that he'd just read it wrong, but that wasn't the case. His hands clenched and shook, crinkling paper and his stomach started twisting itself into knots.]

... Experiment? What the hell is this?

B. » Floor Three // Morning

[He decided to skip breakfast and head straight to the library. Ed wasn't hungry in the slightest. He pulled some books off the shelves and carried them over to a table, plopping them down on top of it as he took a seat. Maybe some reading will help take his mind off of things for a little bit.]

C. » Floor One // Afternoon

[Eventually his stomach decided to remind him that he hadn't eaten anything all day and this was COMPLETELY UNACCEPTABLE SO YOU GET YOUR ASS DOWNSTAIRS AND EAT RIGHT NOW SIR. Which is what he was doing.

Well, at least there was more than just ice cream.]

D. » Floor Fourteen // Evening

[Ed's flipping through the selection of movies with a frown. Honestly, he really did not understand the appeal of most of it. He'd watched a few out of lack of anything else to do, but it was all so incredibly predictable. Maybe he'd be able to find something that didn't suck for once.]

E. » Dormitory Halls & Tower Halls // Pick a time.

[Just walking. Maybe he's headed to the dorms or the library? Who knows. You can ask him though!]

Floor 14

[tempustemporum.livejournal.com]

[This is actually the first time Ienzo's paid any attention to the fourteenth floor. His world and time period wasn't all that technologically advanced, and even if it had been, he never would have been allowed near it. But today he's resolved to make sense of the things... and of course, the one time he comes in, there's someone else already in there.]

[So Ienzo walks over quietly, and stands next to Ed, also looking at the movies. Guess what, Ed, you've finally found someone shorter than you are!]

[unexculpable]

[You're not alone Ienzo, Ed doesn't know what this stuff is either.

He does notice that he's there and he scoots over a little. Maybe this kid knows something about this stuff? ]

Any recommendations? This is still pretty new to me.

[tempustemporum.livejournal.com]

[He shakes his head, still looking at them.] ...they appear to be programs of some kind...? [He carefully takes one out and opens the cover, after a bit of fiddling around. Inside is a DVD, which of course means almost nothing to him. He tilts his head slightly.] ...i don't know what these are, either...

Room 2-06

[Sollux woke up at the same instant. He sits up and picks up the note next to his own bed as he hears Ed's exclamation]

Fucking great.

[unexculpable]

[Ed rubbed his temples, looking over at Sollux.]

You too? I don't remember volunteering for anything.

[thekidsare0kay]

Wathn't there thome quethtionnaire a couple of weekth ago that thaid thomething about an ekthperiment?

floor three

[chapsandcowl.livejournal.com]

[Being in Group B, Tim is seeing everyone as a little more suspicious than usual. It doesn't help that he was already rather paranoid before this change. So, having felt a bit edgy, he decided to head to the library to relax and get some research done, but he finds himself checking out his fellow readers anyway. Usually, he's pretty subtle about watching people -- he's been trained to stalk by the best. But now he can't help but stare skeptically at the person at a table close to him, who happens to be Ed.]

[unexculpable]

[And Ed definitely feels Tim watching him. He looks up from his book, brow furrowing.]

Kind of rude to stare at someone like that, don't you think? [lol he is the best hypocrite]

Hallways

[frogs]

[There's a lost girl in the halls crossing Ed's path. She is looking around and is very visibly confused. She frowns and bites her lower lip.]

This isn't right at all. Darn...

[She spots Ed and perks up a bit, bounding over.]

Hi! Um... sorry to bother you but I am kind of lost.

[unexculpable]

[Oh. She is certainly happy.]

Oh, don't worry about it. Where did you want to go?

E

[ocariness]

[ OH HEY it's the girl boy who blew up the terminal. At present, she is only getting shocks for being disobedient, which was nothing she couldn't handle.

So, she was training, on one of the emptier, safer floors, on her own, with her sword. After all, it would do her no good to get rusty.

Link spots Ed, breathing heavily from all the backflips and swordwork and whatnot, and with her curiosity getting the best of her, she stops her swordwork and pauses to watch and follow the alchemist.

... Where was he going? ]

[unexculpable]

[Just heading up the stairs! His pace quickens as he heads up the stairs going from floor 9 to 10, eager to get away from the dark. The aquarium on the 10th floor doesn't seem to interest him - he walks through here without bothering to look. Finally he reaches the 11th floor and as soon as he feels fresh air on his face, he slows down and takes a deep breath.

He finds a nice spot by the lake and sits down. He'll be staying here for quite some time.]

Oooooh, is it movie night already?

[unexculpable]

Not that I know of. Was there supposed to be one?

c: floor one, afternoon

[terranicidal.livejournal.com]

[oh. ...it's HIM.

the blonde pipsqueak.

...the annoying blonde pipsqueak.

Abel is studiously ignoring his existence as he's seated at a table, a tray of food before him he's picking at disinterestedly, pretending he's paying the new addition to the cafeteria any mind. not like anything weird would happen like they will start eating in unison or anything.]

[unexculpable]

[Definitely not. Why would they eat in unison? That's stupid.

Still, Ed can't help but notice that every time he looks up from his plate, that jackass is doing the same. But surely that was a coincidence. It's not like they're both picking at their food -- the same piece, on the same side of the plate -- at the same time. It's not like whenever Ed lifts his fork, Abel does too.

No. That's not happening, right?

Except it is. It totally is.]

Floor Three /that only took forever

[handpuppeeet.livejournal.com]

[Ankh was nearby, currently preoccupied at one of the communication terminals, leaning back in the chair as he read the screen, a Candroid in one hand as he fiddled with it absently, making a consistent 'tap, tap' noise against the metal.]

[unexculpable]

[That is the most annoying sound seriously. Ed leans back in his chair, looking over at Ankh with a frown.]

You done?

C - THIS TOOK FOREVER??

[knightofmind.livejournal.com]

[Tavros didn't even notice the short human walking in. Whoops.

He was just poking at some of his food, for some reason feeling...weird. Not all that different but something was off. That whole experiment note thing was just confusing, as well. What did Group D mean?]

[unexculpable]

[No idea, but Ed's gonna sit at your table, ok? Ok.]

Hey mind if I sit here? [you can't say no, he's already doing it.]

Tower halls, would after dinner be all right?

[invisiblebombs.livejournal.com]

Karasu was not a happy camper at all. He'd been shocked all day, little light twinges that got annoying after a while. It was only after he'd dropped in at the nurse's office to get something for the rapidly-developing headache that they'd stopped- and started again when he left early. So far he hadn't had any more, at least, though he supposed just walking and thinking of setting the tower ablaze wasn't skipping out on any scheduled activity.

His steps tried to shorten, as he rapidly approached a blond boy in a red coat. He fought it off, mostly for comfort rather than any understanding of why it was happening.

Sure! That works. c:

[unexculpable]

[The closer Karasu got, the bigger Ed's steps became. It never reached the point where it was uncomfortable, but it was definitely weird. It wasn't long until he was walking right beside him, walking in unison without realizing any of it.]

floor three

[fangirls.livejournal.com]

[Marta has, truth be told, come for the books and stayed for the blonde kid.

She slips up behind him. Her hands clamp on his shoulders as she cranes her neck over his shoulder in an effort to read over it (or perhaps just to try and catch his attention.)]

Hey. ❤

[Ed jumps, nearly drops the book he was reading</small] AGH. WHAT THE --

[unexculpable]

[he looks up. and. frowns.]

Damn it, don't do that.
