A question for participants in the drug trial:

If you experienced delusions or hallucinations, how long did they last?

I was injected last night, and I'm still seeing things. I thought this would be over by now.

Ilia,

I've heard we have some common interests. I'd like to talk to you today, if possible.

I volunteered two nights ago, but I didn't turn last night thankfully. I didn't have any problems with the next day either.

Does this help at all?

[ryuuzaki]

A bit. Thank you. However, I'm interested in hallucinations in particular.

What do you mean by "turn" -- into something else? Like a dog or a sheep?

[ippo]

Well, I knew someone who was having hallucinations, but I don't know if they remained the next day. Sorry! I can try and ask him, if you want?

I... may have turned into a big sheep, yes.

[ryuuzaki]

I'd appreciate that.

It seems that everyone who was transformed was themselves again by morning. I didn't realize that I wouldn't be so lucky. I want to know when this might end.

I don't believe I've ever written to you before, Mr. Ryuuzaki, but I'm willing to meet up right now if you're still available and are looking to swap information. Would you like to meet for breakfast?

[ryuuzaki]

Yes. How will I find you?

[avengingfists.livejournal.com]

I have blond, shoulder-length hair and brown eyes. I also have a few pins in my beret.

Sit near the entrance to the cafeteria and wave me over, will you?

[ryuuzaki]

Yes. I'll look for you if you get there first. Thank you.

[avengingfists.livejournal.com]

Certainly. I'll see you there.

[mirthful]

i don't know about seeing things, bro.

but i all got myself ghostified, like you could all be motherfuckin seeing through me to the other side.

then i weren't like that anymore next sunrise.

[ryuuzaki]

You must be Gamzee. Thank you.

[It's a guess.]

[mirthful]

whoooa. :oO

shit, motherfucker, how'd you know?

[ryuuzaki]

I'm psychic.

[mirthful]

fuuuuuuck...

what am I all spinning around in my pan right now?

[ryuuzaki]

I'm not sure. What do you think?

[mirthful]

well if you were all knowing being, you'd know i'd got me some serious hunger right now.

[ryuuzaki]

You haven't eaten breakfast yet. You'll have porridge?

[mirthful]

motherfuck!

that's some wicked knowing shit there!

[ryuuzaki]

It's a gift and a curse.

[mirthful]

it's a motherfuckin miracle.

[ryuuzaki]

You believe in miracles?

[mirthful]

hAhAhA

whoops.

everything is miracles, motherfucker.

[ryuuzaki]

Yes, but not everyone understands.

[mirthful]

right?

but that's the wonderful thing about miracles, my brother. they don't all gotta be understood. they're just all up and being what they are. there's no explaining needed to be had.

[ryuuzaki]

You're very wise, especially for someone so young.

[mirthful]

shit, bro.

no one's ever laid that bit of mirth on me.

[ryuuzaki]

I'm not joking.

[mirthful]

honk! :oD

[ryuuzaki]

Honk.

[mirthful]

whoa, fuck!

haha!

I began hearing things that weren't there last night after dinner, rather than seeing things.

But...ah....I believe that I still am.

[ryuuzaki]

It seems possible that we'll both continue to see things at least until dinner.

[age-of-kings.livejournal.com]

That's what I've been told, yes. It's...well, terribly disorienting!

[strikes legible]

[immortale]

You've been hearing things?too

[tasteoftruth.livejournal.com]

About five to ten minutes after taking them, to dinner the following day.

[ryuuzaki]

Thank you. This is very helpful.

[to the first note]

[forgot-it-all.livejournal.com]

Awhile. I still don't know if they're gone completely, but they seem to be getting better.

-R.Aoyagi

[ryuuzaki]

You were given the drug last night?

[forgot-it-all.livejournal.com]

Night before that. Spent all day yesterday thinking the walls were going to eat me.

-R.Aoyagi

[ryuuzaki]

That's unfortunate. It's good to hear that they're getting better.

Was there anything else, apart from the walls?

[forgot-it-all.livejournal.com]

Look, I know it sounds stupid, alright?

The hallucinations got worse at night. I couldn't tell if the monsters were real or not. Happened in the day, too, but at least then I knew they couldn't really be there.
