[The feed begins with a view of young man grinning like an idiot.]

Ah, so if this place gives everyone supernatural abilities, isn't there a question we must be asking ourselves?

How?

I mean, we can't all be biologically suited for that kind of thing already, right? We've probably been modified in some way...!

But what way? That and my beloved Celty are what I sit here daydreaming about....

[A pause.]

So I was thinking...if I examined a few of you....maybe I could find out! Any volunteers?

[loveandevil]

Ah, well, I guess my room would be as good a place as any...ah, but I don't really have much to work with yet...I guess I should've thought of that...

[...Shinra...]

[whereisoz]

Ooh in your room even! That really does sound quite scandalous!

[loveandevil]

What do you mean, scandalous?

[whereisoz]

Well, let's put this in perspective. You're inviting people to your room, where you admit you don't have much real equipment, for "examinations".

It really does sound like a setting for one of those novels that a lady I know reads.

[loveandevil]

Ahhhh, what?! No, these aren't the kind of examinations I want to give Celty! I really only want to do those kinds of things with Celty and Celty alone, no one else could even compare anyway...!

[whereisoz]

Oh? So does this Celty person know you want to do examinations on them? That's a pretty kinky thing to admit to publicly!

[loveandevil]

Of course my lovely Celty knows! She's even seen my diary entries on the subject...!

[whereisoz]

[Okay, he's stumped. It's hard to tease someone who is so honest about things.]

I guess that's all right then.

[Well, he supposes since he did say he would, he might as well...]

What time shall I come by then?

[loveandevil]

Ah, well...when's good for you?

[whereisoz]

[Suddenly, there's a slight change in his demeanor. Oz's eyes turn toward the floor, and he shakes his head.

He's not busy, anymore.]

Whenever is good for you is good for me.

[loveandevil]

Ah, well...if you're not busy now...I mean, I haven't gathered any supplies but there are some things I won't need them for...!

[should we action thread here?]

[whereisoz]

Okay. Where is your room?

[whoops sorry this took so long also that's fine with me]

[loveandevil]

[Bla bla directions to his room.]

[Action]

[whereisoz]

[Oz doesn't respond again, just heads off in that direction, showing up at the door fairly quickly. He gives a cheerful little knock, and then half a step back.

Have a short fifteen-year-old grinning at you when you open the door.]

[Action]

[loveandevil]

[Oz is greeted with the happiest smile in the universe.

A kid in a candy store couldn't be more excited.]

Welcome! Come in, come in!

Re: [Action]

[whereisoz]

[Well, he can't help but smile brighter in response to that smile. Because it is a nice smile.]

All right.

[He enters the room cheerfully, looking around a little.]

It doesn't look like a mad scientist's lair!

[Action]

[loveandevil]

That's because it's just a normal room and I'm just a no--well, just a doctor, at least.

Re: [Action]

[whereisoz]

[Oz gives him a look up and down, as if weighing that statement.]

Okay then.

[He steps further in, then reaches for his vest.]

Do I need to strip for you or something, Doctor?

[Action]

[loveandevil]

Eh?! What, no! Please, please keep your clothes on! It was already bad enough when I walked in on my dad in the shower!
