Feb. 12th, 2017 09:29 pm![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
[Want to chat with Bolton privately? Here is where you do it! Bolton's office hours will be held in conference room B in the library for approximately four hours in the morning several days a week. During that time the blinds will be drawn and that room will be off-limits unless you're there to talk to Bolton, though the other three study rooms will still be available for use.

You can't just change someone's timeline like that, not even the Time Lords together could do something like that. What the hell do you think you're playing at?

From:Pre-investigation, 2/17
Date: 2017-02-21 05:45 am (UTC)He walks the hallway slowly, hesitantly flipping through the security cameras one by one. Cafeteria, clear. Hallway, clear. Library, clear. Art room-
Jamie's heart jumps into his throat when he sees the body. No. No, no, no no no, not again. It's all happening again. His eyes are glued to the screen as he takes in the details of the scene. God, why are there so many knives? Why did it have to be one of the girls? Which one is it? He feels nauseous as a realization creeps up on him.]
C.E.C.E. [His voice sounds weak to his own ears.] What's her name?
Chitanda Eru, she was the Champion of Curiosity. Jamie, your heart and breathing rates have become very erratic all of the sudden. Do you need me to alert Bolton to your condition?
[He doesn't get the chance to answer before he collapses in the hallway, face buried in his hands as heaving, choking sobs rip from his lungs.]
I am assuming waking Bolton is the best possible solution to this problem.
hate
Date: 2017-02-21 02:19 pm (UTC)Jamie's vital signs are erratic and far outside his normal standard deviations. I believe he may be having a panic attack.]
What's wrong? What's going on?
Don't you remember, Bolton? You issued an incentive earlier this week. I believe the Champions are discovering the body as we speak.
[He looks at the cameras on his PIP, swiping through them until he finds the art room and sees the crowd of Champions. He taps the microphone button, but his heart isn't in the announcement.]
Attention, Champions, the Champion Curiosity's body has been discovered. Now there will be a short period for investigation before the trial.
[He clicks it off again, and then finishes shrugging his robe on and runs out into the hallway. Jamie's sobs help lead the way to him, and Bolton's down on his knees next to him before he can think to do anything else, one arm around Jamie's chest and the other holding his partner's head close to his chest, fingers buried comfortingly in Jamie's thick hair, tilting his head down to kiss the crown of his head.]
Jamie, breathe, you're okay. You're okay...

Thomasin's hair is braided up again, her face scrubbed, and she's wearing her repressed alien clothes and a sober expression.

From:Week 3, Thursday. Report 1
Date: 2017-03-02 05:50 pm (UTC)Through my own interactions with the Overseers I have noticed an utter disregard for any emotional distance or any logical protocol one would have with captives. Jamison specifically was not only very cordial with me during personal meetings, but also answered questions about my home realm in order to ease my mental state. He also came to speak with me outside meeting hours while I was using the art room. There was no real conversation had about the experiment, only about my home and a very slight mention of his own.
My meeting with Bolton was less fruitful on my end, but as cordial. Bolton seemed very careful about his words but seemed willing to talk if asked the right questions. Though as much as Jamison, Bolton was willing to speak with us one on one and with a relaxed demeanor when outside meetings as well. During the dodgeball motive I was able to strike his back in a 'friendly' manner with no warning or repercussions, and after breaking Rule 3 he was more interested in having a joke at my expense as well as carefully warning me away from doing it again rather then any real punishment. I know of at least one incident of Bolton moving to comfort one of us while distressed, and have seen him look distressed by certain reactions (as well as Jamison).
Specifically while both are very animated during Jamison's motives, Jamison is easily aggravated and clearly upset during Bolton's. Bolton as well can become very defensive if called out during his in any emotional way. Both seem to be very emphatic people and are weak to emotional pleas. Not only from the younger members (though I suspect Bolton may be weaker to those then not) but Jamison also seemed thrown off by my anger during our first meeting.
The two also seem to be very close, personally. They are very casual with touch and joke with each other easily. Not knowing the standards of their position I can not say if this is inappropriate or not.
Overall I can state while it certainly benefits myself and my fellow participants, the Overseers seem to dislike the methods of this experiment, and will undermine it on an emotional level whenever they are able to avoid any actual breaking of protocol. I have listed all my personal sightings as well as days and times with the exclusion of scheduled motives and appearances below.
[And yes, yes he has a full list. "Date", time of day, any other random details he noticed (like Bolton's sleepwear, how he took his coffee, Jamison's art tips) Be glad I didn't write all this out cuz Xander would have]
no subject
Date: 2017-03-03 03:54 am (UTC)I am intrigued by your observations of Mr. White. Would you say with certainty that he has shown favoritism to any Champions in particular, or do you believe that his display of comfort was a matter of convenience?
Be careful with Mr. Fell. If you make him blush much harder he may combust.

From:Report 2, Wednesday morning
Date: 2017-03-08 10:25 pm (UTC)I have noticed specifically that Jamison seems more and more stressed as the days continue. While he maintains an attempt at his usual demeanor, it is clearly forced. With the exclusion of the encounter noted below Bolton seems largely unchanged. I will attempt to meet with him soon to test this.
Tuesday both Overseers were late to the arranged meeting time. About half an hour later Bolton arrived in a rush, and told the participants that our homes were at risk if there was no death then fled just as quickly. It seemed he made the threat up on the spot.
Some time later we were called to meet with Jamison in the art room and were told that Bolton's threat was nulled, and instead we would be painting. Jamison seemed more stressed then ever, and it seemed that Bolton had been chastised in some way. While I was able to converse with Jamison after, Bolton fled once again as soon as he was able.
I will update with any new information.
[The conversation in the holodeck is notably unmentioned. And a few hours later-]

Date: 2017-03-09 09:46 pm (UTC)She ended up settling on asking Bolton. After her little display in the art room, she wasn't going to bother Jamie. And Bolton had looked like he was in a good mood earlier, when handing out the pranks.
Funny thing is, as much as she'd wanted to get answers. She didn't want to ask the questions. So she ends up loitering in the library, occasionally drifting near his office.
Eventually she knocks.]

From:Report 4, Week 6, Day 1
Date: 2017-03-20 01:07 am (UTC)There are so few of us left. And for many of us nothing to return to. Surely whatever data you wished from this is either gathered or already ruined by the actions of the Overseers. There can not be anymore blood you can squeeze from this stone. I have no more interest in undoing what has been done in my home- Elise is dead, and I am not fit to rule anything. Corrin is a kind woman, I have faith that whatever plans the Hoshidans have in mind for Nohr will be tempered by her wisdom.
Jamie told me Nohr is at peace. And I believe him.
I have served you quietly and to the best of my admittedly weak ability. Please, no more motives or demands, of us or of the Overseers. Do not pluck more souls from our realms or any others. Odds are good someone will kill again if just from madness and desperation alone- leave us in peace until then.
