[Now he's had more time to practice filters, he's trying one out. He's sure this matter has been brought up before at some point in time anyhow, so it's not like it's too sensitive. But he has to ask, since it seems like people never discuss it. At the moment, Mulder can be seen holding a small handheld mirror and tapping it absentmindedly into the palm of his other hand. He has a thoughtful expression on his face.]

...I bet it's been tried before, but... Has anyone ever had the barcode on the back of their neck examined? Is there a doctor in the house, or anyone with a medical background who's ever tried removing it from someone? ....Or maybe just someone in possession of a state of the art grocery store scanner to check it out? [What, YOU NEVER KNOW.] For that matter, can we be entirely sure they haven't implanted anything additional in us?

Aside from that, I'm almost starting to feel a sense of routine and normality, between my ongoing quest to commune with the spirits and now working on what's essentially becoming the Lucetian X-Files. I have some faint hope that documenting the experiments will give me a better understanding of this place. Although I would kill for a computer to type them out on. Uh... not literally kill, for the record.

A flood of newcomers means I get to officially upgrade my New Feather badge to the next level... [Warning! Warning! Incoming snark mode!] Welcome to paradise, everyone. The food is free, but the TV reception is terrible, the recreational activities consist of reality-altering experiments which will make you wish you were on reality-altering drugs, and the vacation staff running the place have a mysterious fetish for wings. Overall I give this resort a half star. You really should have gone to Disneyworld instead.

Well, I didn't see anyone dressed in costumes except for Pete. He dressed up like a super hero and called himself Captain Justice, all so he could win an award.

[He pauses for a moment. Truth is, Ven doesn't know Pete terribly well, but...]

Anyway, Pete's this really big... cat. I don't really think he's a bad guy, but he's really pushy.

"Captain Justice"? There's one cat who isn't playing with a full deck. [The whole thing would be pretty amusing, but for the fact he's more interested in all of this being real.]

So you seem to imply that you're not a native of this Disney Town? Where are you from originally?

[risingwinds.livejournal.com]

Nah, I just dropped by for a little bit. I've been to a bunch of different worlds, but my home's called the Land of Departure.

[ufo-fanboy.livejournal.com]

You traveled between worlds? How did you manage that?

[risingwinds.livejournal.com]

Just opened up a path! All it took was my Keyblade.

[ufo-fanboy.livejournal.com]

Could you tell me more about that Keyblade?

[risingwinds.livejournal.com]

Sure!

[Here, he'll even summon it just to show what it looks like.]

Keyblades are really powerful weapons that're used to protect the worlds. They're sorta like swords, but they can open any lock, and they can be used for magic, too.

[Mulder is VERY interested, peering at it curiously. He knows the Malnosso couldn't slip up so obviously by allowing something like this in here, but still...]

Have you tried using it to 'unlock' a way out of the barrier?

[risingwinds.livejournal.com]

Well, I did try opening up a path before.

[He frowns.]

It didn't work. I can't even turn my Keyblade into its Glider form.

[ufo-fanboy.livejournal.com]

Hm... I had a feeling you'd say something like that. That just further proves how strong their barrier is, or at least how unlike all worlds' technologies it is.

[risingwinds.livejournal.com]

Yeah. But I think everyone's a little weaker than normal. It's probably their way of keeping us in line.

[ufo-fanboy.livejournal.com]

Ah, right, the infamous power cap. I wonder how our chances would be if that were lifted...

[risingwinds.livejournal.com]

I dunno. I think the cap was gone when I got drafted, but I still couldn't get to the Lanes Between.

[ufo-fanboy.livejournal.com]

Hm... So even if that power cape is raised, there are still limits.

[risingwinds.livejournal.com]

It might not be the Malnosso's fault, though. Maybe it's got something to do with this world...

[ufo-fanboy.livejournal.com]

That's true... I've been told that they're more or less just as stuck here as we are. So it's not only the Malnosso, but the world itself we have to figure out...

[risingwinds.livejournal.com]

Which means, like it or not, we've gotta work with them. At least a little.

[He doesn't sound too thrilled about that.]

[ufo-fanboy.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I know the feeling. I'd rather get my teeth pulled than have to be friendly with them, after everything they've done... but I know we have to do everything we can to find some way out of this situation.
