The Double Bed Experiment

This scene was originally deposited on the page Double Bed NewDay Messages by Isaac. It was moved to this, more fitting location, by Full Metal Lion. That's where the name comes from.1)

AND NOW FOR SOMETHING COMPLETELY DIFFERENT

*I apologize for the weirdness involved in this, I literally just found this export in my files and just had to share it*

2011-09-13 17:52:20: APIS Omega: : responds “General health!” It says, but there is nobody to recieve its answer. Oh well.

2011-09-13 17:53:07: Isabelle Isaac: : nods to the random talking person.

2011-09-13 17:53:14: Art: : looks at the wandering stranger, shrugs and gets back to studying.

2011-09-13 17:54:40: APIS Omega: : nods back.

2011-09-13 17:56:38: Isabelle Isaac: : flops onto a bench with a huff. “I'm bored,” she announces to the outpost at large.

2011-09-13 17:57:05: APIS Omega: :, being close, asks “What's boring?”

2011-09-13 17:57:31: Art: : starts chanting for a bit and tries to have a leaf float in the air. Baby steps, really.

2011-09-13 17:58:15: Isabelle Isaac: : shrugs. “Everything. Is there some party everybody is at that I don't know about or something? All the outposts are empty…”

2011-09-13 17:58:53: APIS Omega: : ahs, “What is an outpost?”

2011-09-13 17:59:58: Isabelle Isaac: : points around them. “A place like this. Normally full of people. But now they're not.”

2011-09-13 18:00:49: APIS Omega: : aahs! “Like a Shielaz store? It's a place full of weapons.”

2011-09-13 18:03:12: Isabelle Isaac: : nods slowly. “That's a good comparison.”

2011-09-13 18:03:35: APIS Omega: : hms, “Maybe somebody bought all the people, then, right?”

2011-09-13 18:03:57: Isabelle Isaac: : shakes her head. “That's not really possible.”

2011-09-13 18:05:11: First Sergeant Thor Thafrij: : strolls into town whistling a merry sea shanty and twirling his cane (well, actually his crapstick)

2011-09-13 18:05:26: Art: :, concentrating hard, manages to have the leaf shake a bit before flying a good five inches off the ground… a good start.

2011-09-13 18:05:37: rathan: :they wur dropped out of an airplain. i could tel you a hole made up storry how i came in to the island.

2011-09-13 18:05:48: APIS Omega: : asks “Why not?”

2011-09-13 18:06:07: Isabelle Isaac: : shrugs. “I dunno.”

2011-09-13 18:06:25: APIS Omega: : hms, “Then you don't know really, right?”

2011-09-13 18:06:26: rathan: :lol. okay. some one cam in to my runndown stone shack.

2011-09-13 18:06:57: rathan: then, he knocked me on the head.

2011-09-13 18:07:37: rathan: :i was loaded in to a hellycoppter and they then dropped me right on to sheelas!

2011-09-13 18:08:32: rathan: then, sheela ordered some crains to get me off the roof op. and then i ran thru the normal things. implant… reseaving money, basig training…

2011-09-13 18:08:52: rathan: the end…

2011-09-13 18:10:08: Bloody Ridiculous Showoff Maniak: : claps slowly. “What a lovely story.”

2011-09-13 18:10:51: Isabelle Isaac: : giggles. “I suppose you're right.”

2011-09-13 18:11:30: APIS Omega: : then asks “Do you have a name? I have a name, so I know me. Can I know you?”

2011-09-13 18:11:52: Isabelle Isaac: : smiles. “I'm Isabelle.”

2011-09-13 18:12:48: APIS Omega: : hms, “You're a bell?”

2011-09-13 18:13:31: APIS Omega: : then extends a glove in a handshake, “Nice to meet you, Is a Bell. My name is Millicent.”

2011-09-13 18:13:38: rathan: lol.

2011-09-13 18:14:02: Art: : drops her focus and letting the leaf fly away before hearing the last bit of rathan's story.

2011-09-13 18:14:14: Heath the Hamster Ninja: : walks in, holstering his shotgun over his shoulder.

2011-09-13 18:14:24: Isabelle Isaac: : giggles. “A pleasure.” She holds ot a paw and grops the glove firmly.

2011-09-13 18:15:20: Bloody Ridiculous Showoff Maniak: : asks him, “Do you have more stories?” He fishes around in his backpack for a Cookie! and holds it out.“I'd pay to hear more!”

2011-09-13 18:16:24: APIS Omega: : shakes back, at what it thinks is equally firmly.

2011-09-13 18:16:41: Isabelle Isaac: : hears something and turns her head, spotting Heath. Grinning, she turns and runs at him.

2011-09-13 18:17:05: APIS Omega: : then says,“Yo–” Oh, she got distracted.

2011-09-13 18:17:24: Heath the Hamster Ninja: : takes his backpack off, sighing. “Brace for impact…”

2011-09-13 18:17:59: Isabelle Isaac: : just keeps running and then grabs Heath, hugging him thightly. “Hey… I'm bored.”

2011-09-13 18:19:03: APIS Omega: : huffs. It appears that it is very boring, too.

2011-09-13 18:19:30: Isabelle Isaac: : nuzzles into her husband's chest.

2011-09-13 18:19:30: Heath the Hamster Ninja: : opens his eyes. “Oh, no pouncing. Okay.” He hugs back. “Uhm…you don't want to say the b-word.”

2011-09-13 18:20:19: Bloody Ridiculous Showoff Maniak: : huffs too. He waves over at Omega. “Quite rude of them, to just wander off, isn't it?”

2011-09-13 18:20:44: Isabelle Isaac: : nods, giggling and dragging him over to Omega. “Yeah, I do.”

2011-09-13 18:21:12: Heath the Hamster Ninja: : is dragged along the ground.

2011-09-13 18:21:25: APIS Omega: : nods at Maniak, “Oh, here they come again.”

2011-09-13 18:21:54: Isabelle Isaac: : sighs and smiles. “I'm sorry, this is my husband, Heath.”

2011-09-13 18:22:01: Lavinia Charles: /me stamps out of basic training, clutching her backpack and bandolier around her in a futile attempt at maintaining her dignity. she glares at everyone.

2011-09-13 18:22:15: Heath the Hamster Ninja: : waves up from the ground.

2011-09-13 18:22:41: APIS Omega: :'s sunglasses move up. “Your husband is male?”

2011-09-13 18:23:06: Isabelle Isaac: : nods slowly. “Yeah…?”

2011-09-13 18:23:28: APIS Omega: : hms, “I think I misunderstand what a husband is. He also does not look like you.”

2011-09-13 18:23:41: Heath the Hamster Ninja: : gets up, brushing himself off. “Wait. Whaaat?”

2011-09-13 18:24:05: APIS Omega: : then asks Heath“You are a husband! What is a husband?”

2011-09-13 18:25:02: Heath the Hamster Ninja: : coughs. “I, uh…have a hard time explaining that…”

2011-09-13 18:25:43: APIS Omega: : hmms, “You mean all male creatures are bad at explaining?”

2011-09-13 18:26:41: Orphan of Hearts RoseRed: : shuffles into NewHome clutching her head; but giggling

2011-09-13 18:27:11: Lavinia Charles: /me smirks slightly, blatantly eavesdropping on nearby conversations. seh leans against a wall and murmurs “Ain't that the ttruth…”

2011-09-13 18:27:13: Heath the Hamster Ninja: : snrrks. “You could say that.” He thinks. “Okay. First off. You ever slept with a woman?”

2011-09-13 18:27:14: Art: : goes back to studying her magicks after the distraction. Killing time with levitating leaves help breaks up the boredom a bit.

2011-09-13 18:27:41: APIS Omega: : shakes its head “I do not sleep. Sleep makes you die.”

2011-09-13 18:28:11: rathan: :replaced his meet fork with a screwdriver.

2011-09-13 18:28:13: APIS Omega: :'s vocabulary is quite…wrongly arranged, by the way.

2011-09-13 18:28:25: Theo: /me apears out of nowhere

2011-09-13 18:29:08: rathan: :draws his screwdriver and heads for the jungle.

2011-09-13 18:29:39: Heath the Hamster Ninja: : hmms. “Might have to explain the Birds and the Bees to this one…”

2011-09-13 18:30:01: Isabelle Isaac: : nods. “That we might.”

2011-09-13 18:30:04: APIS Omega: : ohs. “What does sleep make you do?”

2011-09-13 18:30:42: Lavinia Charles: /me stares in bafflement at the creature that messed with her words. looking up, she spots a girl doing something unusual with leaves, and wanders over. “What on earth are you playing at?”

2011-09-13 18:30:45: Wolflike Lythar: : slinks into the outpost fro the commong.

2011-09-13 18:31:15: Heath the Hamster Ninja: : coughs. “Okay, let me explain this a different way.” He takes out two…carrots. “Okay. This is Mommy Carrot.” This one has a little wig. “That's Daddy Carrot.” It has a tie.

2011-09-13 18:31:37: Heath the Hamster Ninja: : says, “I'm Daddy Carrot, Isabelle is Mommy Carrot.”

2011-09-13 18:31:50: APIS Omega: : ooooooohs~ “Are you carrotkind?”

2011-09-13 18:32:17: First Sergeant Thor Thafrij: : finds an unoccupied bench for a sit down. He shuffles his arse into a comfortable arrangement, stretches out his legs and watches the population with a wry grin

2011-09-13 18:32:31: Orphan of Hearts RoseRed: : slips to the fountain in three steps and falls in laughing

2011-09-13 18:32:55: Isabelle Isaac: : glances at Heath. “Umm… no.”

2011-09-13 18:33:09: Heath the Hamster Ninja: : just continues. “Now, Daddy Carrot and Mommy Carrot love each other very much. When they do, they…” He's knocking the carrots together. Mommy Carrot suddenly has a mini carrot pop out from the bottom. “…they make Baby Carrot.”

2011-09-13 18:33:34: APIS Omega: : is confused now. “Carrotkind can make new carrots? I thought only humankind do.”

2011-09-13 18:33:54: APIS Omega: : scratches under its hat, you don't even know what's there. “Or humans, like you call them…”

2011-09-13 18:34:01: Heath the Hamster Ninja: : holds up the baby carrot, which has a bib. “This is a model.”

2011-09-13 18:34:48: APIS Omega: : arches an eyebrow. “What's a moo-dell?”

1)
I feel like the name is thematically appropriate anyway.
