[There's a voice appearing over the journals, though she's not sure how to really work the journal just yet.]

Is this...? Oh, no, I don't think so--

[A pair of green eyes might flash on the video screen for a moment, as Cecilia fiddles with the journal.]

Oh, oh! There we are, I think--

Um, hello? Oh, I think it's working now! [A pause.]

So, was what happened during the last week one of those "experiments" I have been informed about? I don't think I've ever experienced anything quite like it before. Have there been any that aren't so... terrible?


[After her post, she will be walking over to the library, and staying there until closing, a stack of books next to her. Will she be finding a secret porn stash? You decide.]

[Let her think about how to really explain...]

Seeing someone dear to use lose an arm, then find out they're not really human, so to speak. Then, going into their dream to fight off a dream eater... oh, and going to where you live but about a thousand years in the past.

[menial]

... Yeah, guess that'll do, then.

Everyone's got something, in the end.

[teardropshaman]

It'll be what I make it, I suppose. If I make the best of it, it might not be so bad, right?

voice;

[menial]

Good attitude to take, as long as you can maintain it.

voice;

[teardropshaman]

I don't see why not. It's better to stay positive on these sorts of things.

voice;

[menial]

On the other hand, being negative can let off a good deal of steam.

voice;

[teardropshaman]

[She tries to NOT be negative, so this is kind of a foreign concept to her.]

How does it do that?

voice;

[menial]

Oh, you know. Profanity. Letting off excess energy. Generally getting your rage out there so it doesn't bottle up.

voice;

[teardropshaman]

[What is this 'profanity' you speak of? Cecilia here certainly doesn't do any of that.]

I usually eat when I get frustrated.

[...or when she's bored, or hungry, or...]

voice;

[menial]

Well, I hear a lot of girls do that, but... they're not so happy with the result.

voice;

[teardropshaman]

[How could they not be happy eating good food? And feeling better after that?]

...forgive me for asking, but why is that? I'm usually happy after I eat.

voice;

[menial]

Well, um, they get concerned about their--weight.

['Trick question, right? Now I'm going to get "Are you saying I'm fat?"']

voice;

[teardropshaman]

... Huh. I never thought to worry about that. How strange.

[WELL at least it wasn't a trick question, right?]

voice;

[menial]

.... W-Well... Good for you! Rejecting societal standards and stereotypes.
