[Here is Reno, not looking any worse for wear. He looks rather serious though, and when he speaks it's all business. For those who only know him casually, it's quite a bit different than his usual tone of voice.]

I've got to say, I'm curious. I understand some people experienced problems the past week with their collar.

[He taps his own collar, which is orange again.] They called me in and changed it from orange to violet. When I got back to my room, I could barely move and it was damned hard doing anything.

Anyone care to share their story?

(just to be clear this is not backdated, sorry about that.)

What you're experiencing is most likely an experiment on the part of whoever is in charge of this place.

If that's the case, I wasn't selected for this experiment. I can't say that I mind.

[text] I'm so sorry sob

[midgarhorizon]

No! You don't think!? You must be a real genius, figuring that out.

LOL IT IS OKAY HE DESERVES IT XD

[ryuuzaki]

You did ask. I assume you're going to try to determine the purpose of the experiment?

[midgarhorizon]

Something like that. And what the collars do to us, exactly.

[ryuuzaki]

Good plan. The experiment itself could be one of at least two things: they might be studying the effect of the change in the collars, or they might be studying our responses to those effects.

It's also possible that both factors interest them.

[midgarhorizon]

Good way to put it. I'm trying to get comparative reports on the effects as a start.

Never was that great with paperwork, though.

[ sob.... she just got here today ]

Oh no, they change colors?

[midgarhorizon]

[Headtilt.]

You new here?

[video]

[chocotits]

Mm, you're actually the first person I've seen so far.

[video]

[midgarhorizon]

I wouldn't worry too much about this, then.

[video]

[chocotits]

I see.

[ BUT SHE IS WORRIED... ]

What's your name?

Vid

[Ventus is not the best at using this, but he's got the basic layout of things and keyboard shortcuts memorized. Still, there is some fumbling but - It's all good in the end. Mostly. He thinks it's voice, but it's Vid.

...He sounds like Axel, but... A headtilt, Ventus frowning a bit.] ..Mine changed. I lost the ability to summon my weapon.

I don't know what colour it changed to. [For VERY obvious reasons.] I... Sorry for being so useless.

[midgarhorizon]

[A blindfold, huh? Reno didn't care about that.]

A buddy of mine says, "Incomplete information is still information." What do you mean by summoning your weapon?

[The turk didn't think it meant summoning something like Diamond or Sapphire Weapon... if this place taught him anything, it was not to assume.]

[drknss_bnd_lght]

Uh... [Give him a few seconds and wayward wind appears in his left hand in a backwards grip.] This. It's my keyblade.

[midgarhorizon]

[Ok. Reno is slightly impressed by that. But it doesn't exactly look like a blade.]

Nice trick. You can do that naturally?

[drknss_bnd_lght]

Yes. [Ventus nods as well, dismissing the blade.] I've been trained to fight most of my life.

[pitiedthefool]

[He doesn't know the man on the other end, but this has him curious. ...is he collecting intel just to find out the truth behind the collars and why they were changed to different colors so suddenly, or was there another purpose entirely underneath? ...Either way, he's curious as well.]

Mine went from blue to orange. I don't know what all happened, but it grew increasingly difficult to fight off dizziness.

[midgarhorizon]

Dizziness sounds like it's a common symptom from what I heard. Inability to move being the next. You notice anything other than that?

[pitiedthefool]

[He thinks on in a moment.] ...Losing control of my power, when I can remember clearly.

[midgarhorizon]

That seems to be the main theme in these cases...

[pitiedthefool]

Any theories yet on why?

i got the opposite of you. violet to orange. at first i thought it was something wrong with me, since they called me up on my normal day, but it was part of the color change.

it felt like i was too far away from my own body. i could move fine and all, but my magic was messing up, too.

[text]

[midgarhorizon]

Yeah, that's interesting. Suggestive, anyway.

[beknightedheroine]

suggestive of what you think? 【・ヘ・?】

[midgarhorizon]

I'm not sure yet.

The collars are yellow, orange, violet, green, and blue depending on the person. If that's in the order of rainbows, it'd be red, orange, yellow, green, blue, violet.

You and I got opposite colors, but it affected us differently. It suggests there's different classes we fit into. On top of that, I haven't seen anyone with red yet.

...makes me wish I'd paid more attention in school.
