4th lookup | Text, anonymous

To those of you who participated in the Milgram Experiment yesterday in the role of the questioner, I have two questions of my own. Did you choose to shock your partner for any incorrect responses they may have given? And why or why not?

[ Filtered to Yui Kiriyama, not anonymous ]

How are you feeling?

Like hell I am! I get to see that night again and again every time I go to sleep! I get to watch myself make the same stupid decision every single time! [And all that hot anger fades, he lets go of Philip and his arm drops to his side.]

[ He takes a step backward. ]

Your reasoning is not without merit. After I accidentally took a shock meant for Yui Kiriyama, I became unsure of whether I could inflict that pain on her again. But all the same, Shotaro, I...

[He pulls his hat off and fidgets with the front peak on it.] you got scared; you were curious about just what would happen. Right?

[ He nods. He's out of words. ]

So how did it end up?

She answered the final question correctly. [ A slight grin. ] She said that she would like to be my friend from now on.

[A nod, a tight smirk, and the hat goes back on his head.] That's good. She needs a few of those.

[The smirk gets a little wider. And he starts cracking knuckles on one hand.] And as for that half-boiled comment....

Don't you believe you've committed enough assault for one day? [ Philip crosses his arms and turns his head to show off the nicely purpling bruise already on one cheek. ]

[He huffs.] Fine, you get off easy this time. [So instead he's going to grab you and mangle the hair.]

Ack!

[ Philip flails, but privately he's glad that things seem to be normal again between the two of them. The last two days have just been an emotional roller coaster, and he's just barely getting used to the emotional kiddie pool. ]

[Whoops, off balance! He's going down! Save him, aibou!]

[ Whoops.

He catches Shotaro by the arm, hauls him back up, and sets him down in a nearby chair. ]

You really should be more careful.

Well, I'm glad I've got a partner like you to back me up.

[ He can't really help that fond smile.

He takes a seat beside Shotaro and opens his book up again. ] Did you know about these things called tapes, by the way? They were apparently commonly used until about twenty years ago, when they were replaced by CDs and DVDs.

Yeah, sometimes the Boss used them to record people or conversations for evidence.

Intriguing! [ Although it would be best to steer the conversation away from the idea of "recording things for evidence"... ] The mechanism by which data was recorded on them was highly fascinating. And unlike modern methods of data storage, even if a piece of the medium was damaged, the rest could still be accessed.

[He reaches up to adjust his hat, but on his way back down he makes the general shape of Adam's mask by spreading his pinky and thumb wide and bringing them together at about his nose. He raised an eyebrow to see if that was what brought this on.

He covered the odd motion with a yawn.] I haven't had enough coffee for this conversation.

[ Philip's grin turns to a smirk, briefly, and he tilts his head in a gesture reminiscent of a nod. ]

But that's not all! In the 1970s, tape was also used to record computer data. Can you imagine such a thing?

Definitely not enough coffee. [And up he gets, wandering toward the cafeteria.]

[ Ah mou

Philip is up and following him. ]
