[Sorry this took so long I was legit debating how verbose to make this playing someone obnoxiously detail focused is awful never do it]
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]
