[There's no sound in the background apart from chirping birds, the only indication of where Oz is. The video and picture function is turned off, and just Oz's voice, thoughtful and a little melancholy, comes through.]Every time I see posts about people disappearing, I wonder how that decision is made ( Read more... )

[It's easier to write. He doesn't have to worry about his voice betraying him.]

I don't know what sends someone home or why one person is chosen over another. There is no warning, though. If you find out about any indicators of a person's time left here or until their arrival, I should be interested to know as well.

It sounds like something that you've had experience with, Mr. Hornblower. I'm sorry if that's the case.

I arrived shortly after a good friend. A second friend arrived not long after. The second has already gone.

There's no discernible pattern, although a pattern may exist.

It does seem to be pretty random. I really don't understand... How can there be no reason for why it happens?

You've heard what happens here referred to as experiments, haven't you? For that, a sample chosen at random would seem best.

I've heard of it. [Seen a few too.] It still... I wish there was a pattern to figure out. Then we could be ready.

I was brought here twice and left once and I dont think I did anything??? It was weird though because I came from two different times

Don't you think it could just be random? If there was a purpose to it, they probably wouldn't pull people in here only to send them away again later. It's probably all just some sort of amusement to them to randomly pull people into this place and randomly send them away again, like they don't even really care.

I suppose it could be random but... it doesn't make sense that way. How would they choose who to bring? Who to send away? Decisions like this...there's usually some sort of reason.

If there's anything I've learned back home, it's that not everything has a reason. Some beings just delight in being cruel randomly, it's a fact of life.

And.. well, it isn't too difficult to explain, right? Maybe they have some sort of random setting on whatever they use to pull us here.

It just seems like...even random settings can't be all that random. There has to be some sort of setting...

I myself am testing the effects of laziness. Bear with me here -- we are being experimented on, yes? Should we prove to be uninteresting, then perhaps we get sent home.

[Yukari, don't lie. You're just using that to justify your normal reclusive nature.]

Laziness? You mean...doing nothing? To see if they send you away?

Exactly!

How long've you been trying to do that?
