First Chime - [Action]

[forgetfulchime]

[Leaning up against the fountain in the plaza is a girl, a new feather if you will, which is pretty obvious by looking at the white dress she has on.  There's no telling how long she's been out here exactly, but it's been a while considering the fact that she's soaked.  Her blonde hair is sticking to her cheeks and neck, her white wings are slightly darker and heavier from the water and her dress is practically clinging onto her thin legs.

And what's strange is...

...She doesn't appear to be moving.  She doesn't stir nor does she open her eyes.  No matter how long you may stare at her, she just stays like that; sitting on the cold ground, holding something loosely in her hands while the rain pelts her continuously.  Is she sleeping?]

That's horrible. Why would they ever want to do that??

[Even if it lasted for only a day, messing with people's emotions like that isn't a good thing.]

[herd_effect]

To better understand how emotions are produced and controlled, I guess.
[At least, that's the most logical goal he can think of.] Luckily, those experiments aren't too frequent. Most of the time the Malnosso leave us be.

[As they come up to the clothes shop, he holds the door open for her, then steps inside, shutting his umbrella.]

Whatever clothes you were wearing before you arrived should be here. If you need a coat, you can pick one up too--everything's free.

[forgetfulchime]

So the experiments don't hurt anyone? [As long as that doesn't happen she'll be fine with it... kinda. Sorta. Not really. But it's better people don't get hurt!

She walks inside when the door is opened for her, giving him a smile to say thank you then takes a look around.]

Free? That's convenient... but okay! I'll be right back. [And so she goes down one of the aisles to look for her clothes]

[He'd like to lie to her and say yes, just so she isn't too afraid, but he can't. Not when she might be in for a nasty shock later if he does.] Not usually.

[And he stands around and waits, browsing some nearby shelves of hats and accessories in the meantime.]

[It takes her a few minutes to find her long sleeve shirt, overalls, beanie and shoes, but when she does, she heads back to the changing rooms. It's better that she doesn't stay in this sopping wet dress, she could catch a cold! And she doesn't like it all that much...

When she comes back, she's changed but has a sad expression on her face] What's the worst experiment that's gone on here?
