>Mr. Salt, Ranger Zero, C2: Discuss those Paradigm voices you've heard from Paradigms so far. Experiment with whatever Paradigms on-hand, EXCEPT OASIS, to check if any voices can be heard.
"So!" Mr. Salt is pouring...salt on what you're pretty sure is a shotgun made out of piping. "You heard the voices too, eh?"
The two Rangers sit around one of the empty offices in the third floor, both with the same slightly curious yet equally concerned expression. Employee C2 (Or should you use Cloud? Hm.) is slowly grinding at his teeth.
"Yeah." Zero responses with a slight shrug. "You're the one who's tested on the most. What's your thoughts on 'em?"
"Well, Gary's been a real hoot. Tired but a hoot!" "Who the fuck is Gary?" Employee C2 looks at Zero. It's obvious she doesn't want to explain what Mr. Salt meant.
"The chef's hat and book, they don't really speak much? Couldn't tell ya why." Mr. Salt finishes 'polishing' his shotgun. "Same with the coat."
"Oh, yeah, the magic healing one!" Employee C2 snaps his fingers. "Heard those cute nurses talk all about it. Weird invisibility one."
"Maybe they're quiet because <span class="mu-b">of what kinda anomaly they came from?</span>" Employee C2 stops grinding his teeth. "Like uhhh, that weird magic book. Came from that skeleton the robo-arm girl just worked on, right?"
"Yeah? What's your point?" Ranger Zero taps her thighs while waiting for his response.
"None of us are really that religious. Maybe it doesn't have anything to say to us, you know?" The two look at him for a few moments. His posture instantly wavers and shrinks. "I-I mean, it's...not a bad idea, right?"
"Eh, the kid might be onto something! That Uriel fella wrote a LOT of notes in it." Mr. Salt places his shotgun to the side before leaning forward. "So, what, the sandcloak thing..."
The two Rangers speak at the same time. "Perhaps we just want an escape sometimes, you know?"
They move on to grabbing the chef's hat, scales, and police officer's badge. They pass around the PARADIGMs to see if contact does anything before moving on to wearing them. Instead of waiting and watching every individual reaction, you simply record what happens.
>Yesterday's Promise
ALL: Their postures instantly stiffened into something straight and proper. No voices were recorded from any party involved.
>Judgement For Beyond
Mr. Salt: Saw the two souls of the Rangers (no sin reading due to a lack of GWIT), reported no voices.
Ranger Zero: Saw the two souls of the others, reported hearing "The wrathful is incapable of truly judging sin."
Ranger Cloud: Saw too souls, reported hearing "You have judged yourself far enough. Do not burden others with it."
>For the Greater Good
Mr. Salt: Reported hearing the same non-facility voices as the previous experiment, had no further insight.
Ranger Zero and Ranger Cloud: Both of them heard the voice of the other Ranger alongside with "A cowboy is just a silly cop at the end of the day."
Interesting, interesting.
