Day 10 | ~ Calling You ~ | filtered to the Doctor

Um... Doctor? I... think I may know the answer to Miss Osculia's door. Or. I have an idea, anyway. And I think I... I think I also know Verita's, but. Mister Braxiatel said I shouldn't go alone, so, um...

A-Are you... busy?

[his face goes dark] So...he really did. I thought as much--why else would he run away when my other self tried to confront him?--but where is he now?

[she continues to look a little nervous] Yeah, a mole. Someone who wants to stop this project from continuing, and there's no doubt in my mind that he's the one who was going around killing people. [but at the Doctor's question, she looks away] I--I don't know. Iussus is supposed to be searching for him, but he has a lot of other things on his plate.

What project? Us being in the town?

[pulls his CAT out, pulling up the video he'd recorded when Fuu played it some time ago and starts to play it for Xion] I believe she's talking about this, correct? [directs the question to Audrey]

[she nods, but waits for the video to finish before speaking] Yes, it is about you, all of you who were brought here against your will. There weren't ever any applications filled out either, that much I know. How all of you have been brought here though...I really don't know.

If there weren't "applications" filled out... Why us? I mean, I -- ... [Xion looks at her hands.] Of all the people they could've chosen from where I come from...

And that program... The "tests". How could you or anyone just stand by and watch those things happen to us?

Like I said, I don't know, Xion. That's one of the few things I haven't been able to find--that I wasn't told about. From what I can tell, the selection is entirely random. You were just unlucky... [her expression filled with sadness, she reaches a hand out to reassure Xion, but stops and forces her hand to fall to her side]

You don't understand. None of you do. I had no...I didn't want... [she hangs her head, arms wrapping around her body again] People weren't supposed to die or get hurt.

[After a moment, Xion gets up and moves decidedly to vault over the side of the bar with the intention of giving Audrey a tight hug.]

[she looks up, expecting that action to lead to some sort of violence--but is surprised by the look on Xion's face] I'm so sorry...

[ooc: Skipping the Doctor this round!]

[Xion shakes her head.] I believe you.

[stays on his side of the bar] I do as well, Audrey, but why stay? You're not bound to this town like we are. I mean, I'd like to know several things about this town, like how the barrier works, how buildings that are said to exist suddenly show up out of nowhere overnight, and what sort of technology has been used to cloak certain things around town like the viewfinder and telephone booth. It's far beyond the normal technological know-how of humans who live in a place that looks like this.

[softly] Thank you. Both of you.

[but she doesn't blink an eye at the mention of the viewfinder or phone booth] I'm stuck here for...slightly different reasons, but like you, my darlings, I can't leave. Not yet. I can only tell you so much about the technology used around here, like the shielding used to mask the presence of the botanical gardens and this very house are the same and the buildings were always here. You just weren't allowed to see them yet, not until it was time or Dr. Caligin gave the okay to unveil it. But that restaurant in the trees, The Chrysalis, that wasn't there before. Dr. Resarci constructed it, and I haven't been able to tell if he did so on his own or Dr. Caligin approved it.

Why are you stuck here?

[Xion thinks for a moment.] If the mayor didn't know, then... The doctor must've hidden it while it was being built, right? With the same technology, somehow?

It's complicated... Unfortunately the whole situation is, sugar pie. The Dr. Caligin believes it's one of us who is the mole, and he's allowed us to tell some truths about the project--but only if asked the right questions. Once you've heard enough, you can leave this room. I think he will want to speak with you all soon enough.

But don't get me wrong, I personally think Caligin knew about the building of the restaurant, or he was brought aboard on the idea after Dr. Resarci had started construction. He has that way about him. I mean, you saw how the Caligin reacted to Verita being turned into doll! That wasn't supposed to happen. Nothing after the festival was supposed to happen, but once Resarci really got his hooks into Caligin, he had free reign.

[ooc: Skipping the Doctor again.]

[... that just leaves Xion frustrated.] What does even it matter if there's a mole? We just want to go home.
