| Shinobu lives in a lab. She was not born there and she did not grow up there, but she lives in a small glass room in a lab. The lab is grey, mostly, and her room is more a tube than a room, but it is hers. The tube is placed vertically against a wall next to lots of other room- tubes. She does not like it when her room stands up, but it only goes flat when it is time to sleep. Shinobu likes to sleep. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Case #92 Two men and a woman are walking inside a building. The stale grey colours and overuse of concrete and security systems hint that it is a government facility. Two men and a woman are walking inside a government facility, through a row of glass tubes radiating soft L.E.D light. They walk, the men in front side by side and the woman behind. All wear the same white coat, but the men are wearing glasses while the woman is carrying a clip board. One man is un-wrapping an ice-cream bar. He stops and turns to the man next to him. "Who's the one that's afraid of ice cream again?" he asks. "Number 1986." the man replies. "Hmm.." "Shinobu" the woman chimes in. "Yes, yes. I know who she is." he tells her "I'm just thinking." The man with the ice cream starts walking again, prompting the others to follow and they turn right at the next door. "Have you seen her Jenkins? 1986." he asks. "Not personally, I just know what I've read." "Ah, you should see her. Perfect example for experiments." "Hmm?" "Does well at everything they throw at her. Except ice cream." "Oh?" "One time they decided to reward her with ice cream and she lost it. Spent a few hours in the corner of the room. Bit anyone who tried to calm her down I think they said." "Why?" "I don't know. Perhaps it was some kind of repressed trauma." "Perhaps." "So then, what are you planning to do?" the woman asked. "Just a little test. I want to observe things for myself." "But you're eating the ice cream." "Yes, eating. Meaning still in progress. It isn't for her anyway. Past events suggest she'd bite me if I did that." "True." They walk in silence until they find the glass tube labelled "#1986: Shinobu". Someone had written "Fuck You" on the wall next to it, small and in red ink. "Who wrote that?" the woman asks. "Probably whoever she bit." Jenkins jokes. None of them knew who had written that. It was written in a few other places too. The man with the ice cream meddles with the controls and the tube opens. A young woman steps out, she is wearing a loose white tank top and white underwear and nothing else apart from a collar full of blinking lights. Her hair is light black and her eyes are a cloudy blue, almost grey and she is otherwise unremarkable, apart from her ears being pointed rather than curved. "Hello Shinobu." says the man with the half eaten ice cream. "Can she hear you?" asks the woman when she doesn't react to her name. "I don't know. That's why I'm talking to her." "I thought she was supposed to be deaf." says Jenkins. The woman referred to as Shinobu has not reacted to anything since stepping out of the tube. "Is that what the file says? Probably." "Probably?" "We don't quite know. There's nothing wrong with her ears. But she doesn't appear to react to sound at all." "So then it might be something with her brain?" the woman asks. "Exactly, Mary. That's what I am wondering." "Well she hasn't moved an inch since we've been talking." Jenkins notes. "Maybe our conversation hasn't been very interesting." "Wait, if she's deaf, how does she do experiments?" asks Mary. "Generally watches others do them first. Monkey see, monkey do." he says while pretending to act like a monkey "Ook ook oook" Jenkins has to cover his mouth to avoid laughing, Mary rolls her eyes. Shinobu turns her head towards the man who is acting strangely. "Oh, here we go!" He takes the unfinished ice cream and extends it towards her, keeping a safe distance out of concern for his fingers. She doesn't react, so he wiggles it around which just makes half of it fall off. Shinobu's eyes don't even move to follow the ice cream. She keeps staring at the man offering it to her and tilts her head to the right making her seem confused. "Oh well. Jenkins, put her back." he says and goes to finish the remaining ice cream while Jenkins grabs her shoulders to get her attention and motions for her to go back inside the glass tube. She complies with the same blank look on her face she had worn since getting out. "Mary, make a note: "No reaction when presented with ice cream." Mary is not paying attention, she is watching Shinobu as the glass closes and for a moment their eyes meet and she feels herself shiver. "Are you listening Mary?" "Huh? No, sorry. What was that again?" "No reaction when presented with ice cream." "Mhm." Mary makes a note on her clip board "No visible reaction to ice cream." and the group continues walking. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Shinobu dislikes other people, and ice cream. |
