Finally, it's done. The experiments' duration... hasn't been so long before. I don't trust this alteration in their patterns.

[Despite the cold, Vincent is going off on a long walk to clear his mind of his other selves' weirdness. He'll try to avoid people but his red cape stands out pretty well against the snow. He also pauses on a bridge at some point to just... stare off pensively into the distance.]

I don't, either. It makes me wonder what will happen next time.

[Voice]

[chaotic-dirge.livejournal.com]

We can never know for certain until it happens.

[Awkward silence.]

...

I apologize again, for my other self.

[Voice]

[esper-flight.livejournal.com]

It's not your fault. You couldn't help the way you were.

Besides...I did have a good time with you.

[Well, the 'date' had been pleasant, even though she would rather not allude to the 'literature' donated.]

[Vincent is cringing thinking of the types of book he handed over to her. He read them all, several times, in that alternate universe.]

...You did?

[Voice]

[esper-flight.livejournal.com]

Yes, I did. You were a very nice host.

[He has no idea what to think/say about that. He just keeps thinking about all of the contents of those books. Awkward awkward awkward.]

I wasn't myself...

...but thank you, anyway.

[Thoughtful pause.]

I've never seen experiments repeat in that manner before.

[Voice]

The Valentine's Day one repeated itself...but this was more random than that. And chaotic.

[Voice]

[chaotic-dirge.livejournal.com]

[...right, he had forgotten.]

That was also only one experiment... these were several at once. I cannot imagine what purpose it would serve.

[Voice]

[esper-flight.livejournal.com]

Neither do I, unless it was to confuse everyone.

[In which case...well played.]

[Voice]

After all of this time... their motives are still unclear.

...I suppose if there were something truly amiss they might inform us. [MIGHT. They've had strange announcements before, after all. But Vincent doesn't trust that they're aware of everything they should know, even then.]
