3rd Data Entry [voice / action]

[cuteobsessed]

[Heisuke has decided that his earlier attempts to contact the lightning spirit in the hot box failed because of one thing: A LACK OF SCIENCE. So now he will be 100% serious and scientific about recording this data and doing this right. To that end, he uses the journal to record his observations and calls the others in his house to come help him collect data.]

First experiment of the day: placing a spoon into the box and testing it for 30 seconds.

[The sound of him putting metal into the box and turning it on can be heard. ]

There appear to be sparks, but nothing significant....

[ooc; Heisuke has lost his sense of humor for the event, so he's going to be utterly serious about this. It's for SCIENCE.]

It isn't smoking.

[And he's completely serious about that. It can't be angry if it isn't smoking. He sits and watches the lightning for a bit and then looks to the counter.]

...Wonder if these would make larger sparks.

[again aside to Tatsu, urgently] The problem is I can't think of anything to distract him with, at least not the...the way he is right now. If Nagakura-kun or Harada-kun were here, maybe.

[Anyone other than him and Tatsu, actually.]

I don't think we need to see larger ones.

Then maybe we should quit while we're ahead. [Before the spirit gets angry and wants to destroy them all.]

...I don't know either. [Tatsu lowers his voice again, though he can't help but agree with Yamanami on their ineffectiveness to be distracting. And just why is Heisuke acting so oddly anyway?

There's no time to think about it though. Not before the phrase "bigger sparks" enters the conversation.]

No, Yamanami-san's right. We should be happy with small sparks! It's generous of the spirit to show us that much, isn't it?

........ [He hears you guys whispering behind his back, but he is more interested in the experiment right now. Instead, he removes the smaller bowl and takes out a bigger one, turning it over in his hands.] .................................

What if it's trying to speak and we aren't giving it a large enough vessel? That sounds right, doesn't it? "Vessel." Like they say at the shrines.

[Look at bowl, look at box, back to bowl. Bowl goes into box. He closes the door and starts pressing buttons to set the time.]

[pained whisper] But we can't just leave him here by himself! [As dangerous as this is, Sannan is more terrified of the idea of Heisuke lighting himself on fire and no one being around to help him in time.]

I don't think that's the...I really don't think that's the case.

[More whispering. Who cares if Heisuke knows about it?] Then we can drag him away? And maybe lock him in a closet until he stops doing crazy things!

...Or. Crazy things like this.

[Oh crap, there's more beeps.]

Toudou-san please! We're just mere humans. It's not our place to try and assume what the spirits want. Really, you should just leave it be!

[He looks back over his shoulder at the two of them, stone-faced like he's been since the experiment started.]

That's why I'm trying to talk to them. It'll let me know when we've gone too far.

[He presses the start button and after a few seconds, electricity arcs again and Heisuke looks back at it.]

....Interesting.

...you understand what it's saying?!

[YOU ARE GOING TO GIVE HIM A HEART ATTACK.

He looks back at Tatsu and steels his resolve.] ...okay. Tatsunosuke-kun, on the count of three we--

[He makes the mistake of looking back at the hotbox.]

Toudou-kun, it's on fire!
