[ Will's expression suggested that he strongly doubted those who were unmarked had any appreciable answers. However, he was willing to share what he could recall.

Maybe it might jog something in Junpei's memories. ]

It was nighttime, we were all asleep. Couldn't see any person clearly, just a sense of twisting static. Then I lost time, woke up chained by my neck to a wall. That's when I first remembering seeing, some of your first group. But it was like those of you around me couldn't see me.

The static ... whatever returned and I was injected with something. Next thing I knew all hell was breaking loose.

But no stylish bracelet as a souvenir, huh.

I wonder if the same way your group can't see the barriers at the ends of our cells, there may have been something keeping our group from seeing into your cells at all. When everything happened, they were obviously down. That may have been the first we saw of you.

... Could you tell who was who before the injection?

[ex_this_ismydesign36]

I wasn't really focusing on that at the time. [ He said with a regretful shake of his head. Hindsight is twenty twenty after all.

But Junpei brought up an interesting point. ]

Perception ... what do you see right now, Junpei?

[fiftheclipse]

A cell block, but you knew that much. Nicer than some of the places I've woken up trapped, before-- no triple bunk to make me hit my head on the ceiling, for one.

[He's going to be bitter about that forever.]

It's pretty clean. Walls and floor are white. There's a bed there.. A bathroom over there...

[Junpei motions to each place as he speaks, eventually bringing his hand up to touch the barrier locking him in.]

And this thing.. It's this blue wall of.. energy, I guess. But it feels like glass?

[ex_this_ismydesign36]

[ Junpei's response earned him a bemused blink and then a pensive frown. ]

Interesting. [ Will mused, stepping back and looking around for a moment, before letting his eyes come back to Junpei. ]

I see a molding cell block and it appears to me as if you're just standing in a cell with an open door. Here, let me show you.

[ Will walks towards the blue wall of energy and passes through it without pause. He stands there for a moment, shrugs and then walks right back out. ]

[fiftheclipse]

There's a door? ... What happens if you try closing it?

[ex_this_ismydesign36]

Err, sorry I misspoke. [ Will winced at his slip of phrase. He was more tired than he was allowing himself to believe. ]

It's just a doorway, no door in sight. Looks like you're sitting in an open cell and could walk out at any time.

[fiftheclipse]

So no extra clues, huh? I guess that would be too easy. Making things exclusive to each of our views take up the same space might've done something. I doubt you wanna try picking up that mold you mentioned.

[ex_this_ismydesign36]

Not particularly. [ Will confirmed that suspicion, then lifted his bound hands. ] And even if I did...

[ It still wasn't happening. ]

[fiftheclipse]

What, you don't think it'd stick to the bandages?

[Not that he was serious. There's no way he's pushing the idea any further.]

Still, there's gotta be a way to figure it out. Why it's different, why we see what we do, what the point of it is...

What if you guys need access to something only we have, or the other way around? What if anyone with the lines could walk right out that door at the end of the hall if our cells weren't locked like this?

[ex_this_ismydesign36]

I think you're over thinking things at this point. [ Will suggested, keeping his comment deliberately low-key. ]

[fiftheclipse]

So you're saying there's no way to leave.

[ex_this_ismydesign36]

Not at the moment, no.
