The Consequences [Concluded]

[miotas]

You need I.D. to get a card. They will let us use it for a dollar or two without a card though.

[Myrddraal]

To be honest there's nothing creepy about the fact that the other participants didn't come back. You don't want people who've just taken the test affecting the reactions of those who haven't yet.

There was something creepy about the way GH said it though...

[GeneralHankerchief]

Hey guys, I just got back from... well... let's just say that it was Saturday night. I'll advance things once I wake up tomorrow.

[Mithrandir]

I think we should read totalwar.org as our character and read this thread.

Brilliant :D

How creepy would that be if this situation really happened to you...

[GeneralHankerchief]

"I'm trying not to think about it," he says. "This entire experiment is giving me the creeps. I'm only doing this because I love my grandson."

Well, that's certainly a help.

Would you like to engage the gentleman in conversation once more, or be silent until you are called in?

[CCRunner]

The guy obviously doesn't want to talk. I say we just shut up and wait for our turn.

[Beskar]

What does his grandson got to do with this? It seems awfully random.

I doubt $50 would be such a life-changer.

[Stildawn]

Smile and then wait till you are called.....

[Splitpersonality]

He's going to buy him a video game with it, in america around $50 should be enough for a new game...

I say we compliment the man, tell him what a good grandfather he is before we go in.

[Double A]

Only if it's a Wii or PC game. 360 and PS3 games cost $60.

I agree with split about complimenting him. I'd love to get videogames from my grandparents

I'm assuming that this man is not literally out of cash and he already has maybe $10 for a game, probably bad on my part to assume but...

I more meant the, he's scared of this but doing it for his grandson anyway. I hope we aren't being secretly killed, this old dude is pretty cool in my book :D

[Double A]

Maybe the US's economy has deflated where $50 is like $500 today.

[GeneralHankerchief]

You smile and wait until you're called. Eventually, you are, and Angela escorts you in the next room.

Inside is a polished wooden table, with one chair at each end. One of these chairs is occupied. There is a man in a grey suit and tie sitting in it. You also notice a closet with a shoelace visibly sticking out the door. Angela beckons you to sit, and you do.

The man in the grey suit now speaks. "Hello, and once again I'd like to thank you for taking part," he says. "My name is Dr. Stanislaus Cole, and today we're testing... motivation." You nod. "I'd like for you to put this on, please."

Dr. Cole takes an object out from under the table. It is a relatively simplistic helmet, save for two knobs on the top.

[pevergreen]

Put it on

[miotas]

Take it off.

[Subotan]

In out, in out, shake it all about

[Myrddraal]

This is deliberately weird. ... motivation?

Perhaps we should ask questions? Like - what does this helmet do? But let's face it, we'll just be given false answers if this is dodgy (which it certainly seems to be).

Is Angela still in the room?

[Mithrandir]

Stand up, say you've got a cramp and walk around for a few seconds, walk towards the closet while pretending to still have cramps and make a joke about if the helmet would fry your brain and they'd keep your body in the closet, and then open the closet as if it's part of the joke.

[Double A]

Hehe that would be great, I like that one.

[A Very Super Market]

pever is out to sabotage us. I think we should unleash a flurry of capital letters, and make him suffer for it.

[GeneralHankerchief]

You put the helmet on.

"Excellent," Dr. Cole says. "What is next is very simple: I would like you to kill me."

[Subotan]

Well, if some doofus hadn't insisted on giving our details to the police, then the next order would be obvious, hmm?

Seeing as how this is a game-changing decision, we should reach a consensus first before putting in the orders.

[A Very Super Market]

Man, we should have been the goofy bumbler. Now we're the unwilling subject.

I say we don't kill him.

[Subotan]

Kill the girl

[White_eyes:D]

Ok, even I must laugh at this....you guys put on the helmet? and now your going to "kill his assistant"?

[pevergreen]

Raise an eyebrow.

[Subotan]

How is that going to kill him?

[pevergreen]

Its not. But we don't feel a need to kill do we?

Obviously we are going to be shocked or something. Maybe its to read our reaction via brainwaves when told to.

We are questioning the order. I figured that raising an eyebrow was universal enough and that it was small enough that it would have no actual impact (and you guys therefore wouldnt get angry)

[White_eyes:D]

Any "Sane, Rational person" would have checked that closet first....

[pevergreen]

We've seen nothing to indicate that there is anything fishy going on...

I'd prefer to make them think that we ARENT crazy.
