Experiment

-Find a complete stranger.
-Reveal to each other intimate details about your lives for half an hour.
-Then, stare deeply into each other's eyes without talking for four minutes.

York psychologist, Professor Arthur Arun, has been studying why people fall in love.

He asked his subjects to carry out the above 3 steps and found that many of his couples felt deeply attracted after the 34 minute experiment. Two of his subjects later got married.

This experiment is about to be tested on a class of teenagers on the planet Gallifrey, as a study on 'human affection', and, of course, how silly it is. It is meant to be treated as a sort of free day, and not to be taken too seriously. (Although, if there is one thing Time Lords are good at, it's being serious.) The class instructor isn't expecting his pupils to actually feel any sort of attraction, because, after all, Gallifreyans are not supposed to have sex drives.

Teacher: YOU THERE. PAIR UP WITH HIM.
Koschei: Who?
Teacher: THE SHORT ONE WITH THE RIDICULOUS HAIR.
Koschei: Uh, hi.
Theta: Hi. ^^
Koschei: Uh... I have drums in my head.
Theta: I like sunsets!
Koschei: My dad is an Omega hole.
Theta: My mom's a human.
Koschei: I like to run through grass.
Theta: NO WAI.
So do I.
;D
Koschei: I hate the dome thing that surrounds the city.
Theta: It's really annoying, isn't it? Uhm... I think Earth is really interesting.
Koschei: What's that?
Theta: It's this planet where there are a bunch of different species but the main ones are humans and they're actually pretty dull but still really amazing and clever at the same time I really want to visit there when I become a Timelord because it seems interesting their skies are blue and they have green grass instead of red and---
-takes a deep breath-
---yeah.
Koschei: -eyebrow raise-
Theta: ;;
...Sorry
Koschei: That's ok!
It does sound... interesting.
Theta: ...Are you just patronizing me, now? ><
Koschei: No, I swear. Uhm, I sometimes look at other peoples' butts!
...o__o
Theta: -blinks- Wait... what?
Koschei: UHM. YES. BECAUSE THEY'RE SO... INTRIGUING. HOW DO THEY SIT ON THEM ALL DAY WITHOUT HURTING? AHAHAHAHA.
Theta: Do you... er... do you... gah, I don't... uhm... are you sometimes attracted to people?
JUST... CURIOUS...
Koschei: HEHEH. WHY WHATEVER WOULD YOU MEAN BY THAT, HYPOTHETICALLY?
Theta: YEAH LIKE. . . . . . YEAH
Koschei: MAYBE I AM YES.
Theta: ...FFF RASSILON'S GHOST SO AM I.
...
...
HYPOTHETICALLY.
Koschei: YES.
I ALSO THINK THAT THIS EXPERIMENT IS HYPOTHETICALLY TORMENTING US FOR FUN.
Koschei: How much time do we have left on this thing? ...Oh Othering Other. Fifteen minutes.
Theta: ...And then the EYES.
Koschei: Ha. That's gonna be stupid.
Theta: I know... pointless, really. Like it'll do anything.
Koschei: Yah. Except make my eyes hurt. Ahaha.
I MEAN.
NOT THAT YOU'RE UGLY OR ANYTHING.
I JUST NEED TO BLINK SOMETIMES.
Theta: Oh... well... I'm sure we're allowed to blink...
-totally not offended obvsly totally shhh-
Koschei: NOT THAT I WOULD STARE AT YOU SO LONG I WOULD FORGET TO BLINK.
BUT YOU KNOW.
Theta: Exactly~
-smiles brightly and awkwardly-
Koschei: So.
How was looking into the Untempered Schism for you, then?
Theta ...I kinda ran away. It was scary. You?
Koschei: Drums.
Theta: Drums?
Koschei: Drums.
Theta: Oh...
Wow... so... could you describe it?
Koschei: Well, they're inside my head.
And they're loud...
And they sound like this. -taps rhythm-
I'm not crazy or anything.
Or at least I don't think I am...
Theta: And its constant, ever since then?
Koschei: Yep.
When I go to sleep, when I wake up.
They're there.
Theta: That's terrible. D8
Koschei -is pleased at sympathy but trying not to show it-
Yah...
Theta: I'm so sorry. If I could help you, I would, no matter what. -nods determinedly-
Koschei: -cough-
-looks down-
...What's your name?
Theta: ...We probably should've asked that to start with, huh?
Ehm...
I'm Theta Sigma. Just call me Theta.
Koschei: I will.
My name's Koschei.
Theta: Mmkay. Well it's really great to meet you, Koschei. ^^
Koschei: -goes red and tries to hide under table-
You too.
Theta: -blinks, surprised- ...Whaaatcha doin'?
Koschei: I dropped my pencil.
Theta: Oh.
Kay...
But you didn't have a pencil---
Teacher: ALRIGHT.
TIME FOR THE EYES.
Koschei: -gets back up-
-drags eyes to position-
Theta: I guess we should... yeah... -does the same-
Koschei: Theta. THEta~ TheTA,Theta Theta Theta.

Koschei: Y-yes.

Theta: Oh, uhm... yeah... definitely...
Koschei: -looks around at all the bored classmates around them-


AND FROM THAT DAY ONWARD, THETA AND KOSCHEI FUCKED ON THE FIELDS OF MOUNT PERDITION. AND THEY WERE GOOD TIMES.
