ii. - [ VOICE ]

[viralexchange]

[It takes only a moment for the feed to catch something - it's a shallow breath, followed by an audible smile.] Such silence for a group of kidnapped individuals. What, have we all submitted to this fate? [His voice is a bit more harsh since the last time he was stalking about the network.] I thought the lot of you had more potential than that -

[It had been a long time since Wesker worked with anyone he saw as a "partner" and while Kasukabe showed promise in the fields of science, his chipper demeanor and obliviousness to personal space were trying on Albert's patience. But he kept his tongue in check and merely rolled his shoulders back, trying to deflect the insect away without having to result to violence.]

Well, we would not want to expose anyone to a harmful situation. No doubt, that is breaking some ethic codes. [Oh, irony.]

He should be catching up soon. Hopefully, we can make haste to the laboratory after the exposure to avoid any lost data.

[He was a bit off when the conversation had taken place, and so Albedo was delayed in moving to them. If he cared enough, he would have moved by force of will, but the whole interest of this place was things being hands on, and it was moderately relished.

He eventually moves into the area, looking curious and a bit bored. The two are the only ones around, and he sighs to himself and moves closer. The boy pauses a few feet off and tilts his head, speaking dryly.]

Are you the ones that want to go explore the great beyond?

[ a voice. kasukabe looks over and -- oh. a young boy. briefly, he studies the child -- albino? -- and wonders whether the other's age will have an effect on the red zone's influence. well, no matter. any data is better than no data. ]

Ahaha, I suppose 'great beyond' is one way of putting it. We were looking to study the effects of the red zones.

[ a cheerful grin to accompany his casual words, and he held his hand forth. no need to be rude! ] I guess you're our volunteer? The name's Kasukabe. I look forward to working with you.

[Wesker turned as Albedo made his appearance. Cool was his demeanor and he merely adjusted the position of his shades as Kasukabe made pleasantries all on his own.]

[Then:] We will make sure that any and all effects are recorded, but any physical or mental harm will be taken care of as well. [Albert stepped forward and the panther peered over its shoulder, examining the two men.]

The good doctor here has a laboratory - if there are any complications, we'll stabilize you. [But Wesker was done with all of that, and he was already heading to the closest Red Zone on the map.]

Albedo. [Is the reply given to Kasukabe, and in absence of the hand offered, he only tilts his head in vague curiosity. This one is the scientist, then. Though the other one seemed more in control.] Mm, we'll see if you say the same after. Though it should be fun at least.

[As for the one who invited him... Albedo shrugs at the man's words, shifting the cabbit that had been clinging at the back of the boy's neck.] There shouldn't be a need. You'd be hard-pressed to find something I can't... get over.

[But things are already on their way, and the boy sees no point in prolonging things. He is bored, after all. It'd be nice to have some excitement. He moves to follow.]

[Wesker lowered his gaze to the communicator, keeping track of the group's current location.] When you are exposed, we'll give you a small interval first. Once you are comfortable, we'll extend the exposure by a few minutes. Again, we will monitor your vital signs before finally leaving you in the zone for a prolonged period of time. Should you find yourself unable to acquiesce with this task, we will remove you from the experiment and have you relocated to the lab for a momentary check up. Then, you shall be released.

[The panther at his side matched his stride, fluidity and rigidness together in balanced harmony. Albert kept his stern look, though maybe a glance or two was given Albedo's way. For a young one, he seemed resilient.]

[But then again, who wasn't that was brought here?]

We're coming up on a spot now.

[ oh. not used to handshakes? well, that's okay, kasukabe doesn't mind. withdrawing his hand to tuck into the sleeves of his too-big labcoat, kasukabe gives a small nod. ] It's always good to have volunteers, so we certainly appreciate your offer, Albedo.

[ and as wesker explains the procedure, he only nods to show his agreement -- though he can't help casting a curious glance towards wesker. what a peculiar man. he certainly doesn't look like any sort of scientist. and not that he judges people too much by their appearances, but he's a bit intrigued. maybe this will be interesting!

a rustle as he pulls out his trusty notepad and pen. when they stop by the red zone, he checks the time on his communicator before giving a small nod. ] We might check on your familiar, as well. I've heard before that their conditions are parallel to those of the people they follow, but some extra data can't hurt, no?

[What was the definition of red? If Albedo points to the past as a record of the future, the color red is only and ever defined as extremes. He could speak of love and hate, and in the end, truly the only answer was madness. Oh, well, he knew this; oh, well, he had already experienced. There was nothing here that could accent his own doing--the betrayal of his own fate. This place might push and prod, but in the end, when held up to be weighed against a feather, it would be far too lacking.

The two spoke of things he couldn't care less about. Let him be harmed, torn to shreds, drove to deeper insanity. It was all he could wish for, after all. Madness, absolution, revenge, and forgetting. There was nothing else but what lied in blood.

He glances back to them, eyes darkened. Then smiles brightly.] I'll go on ahead then!~ Hopefully there's something to be learned.

Action; late ): sorry going to be behind because of work

[Wesker made damn sure he was out of the line of the Red Zone. He plucked away at his communicator, readying it for a video recording to analyze at a later time.] That would be fine with me, as long as you do not mind lingering in the labs for a while longer. [The communicator beeped, signaling that it was ready.]

You may proceed into the zone. First exposure will be set at five minutes.
