"I saw a flyer on a bulletin board," said Max. "Then I told Kathy about it and she was interested in it too. Neither of us wants to miss the chance to have some trippy dreams - or to earn fifty bucks, for that matter."

"I can't guarantee what kind of dreams you'll have," said Nancy. "Half of everyone in the experiment will be in the control group, and only those of us running the experiment will know who that is. Why don't you two tell me about some of the dreams you've had? Do you recall any of your dreams? Do you dream in black and white, or in color? Have you ever realized while dreaming that you were in a dream, or been able to control the world of your dream?"

Kathleen looked at Max and muttered, "Oh my God she is such a weirdo."

"You haven't answered my questions," said Nancy. "We need to know about your normal dreaming patterns so we can compare them to the results of the experiment."

Kathleen told the woman everything she remembered about her dreams including the ones in which she was having sex with guys, girls, dogs, and fish.

"Interesting," said Nancy, scribbling notes. "And how did these dreams make you feel?"

"Horny how do you think. Your really strange. Can we sign up or not?"

"Yes, you'll be suitable," said Nancy. She took a couple of sheets of typewritten paper from her desk and handed one each to Kathleen and Maxine along with ballpoint pens. "Please read and sign these waivers. They're required in order to participate in the experiment."

OOC,[b]Kathleen[/b], if you read the document, roll Law.

Kathleen quickly glanced at the document but it was all mumble jumble to her. "Oh well" she said as she signed the document.

Kathleen could understand most of the legalese. It was standard boilerplate, and by signing it she waived the right to sue in case something went wrong. There were a few clauses that were beyond her, but it didn't look like much to worry about.

Maxine barely glanced at the waiver before she signed hers too.

Nancy took the documents and filed them away in a drawer. "Thank you, ladies," she said. "Maxine, why don't you tell me about your dreams?"

"Most of the time I don't even remember them," said Maxine. "There was this one that stuck in my head that was a lot like Alice in Wonderland."

"Were you Alice?"

"No, I was more like the White Rabbit. Kathleen was Alice. The dream was in color. People dream in black and white?"

"Most people do, actually."

"Never knew that. I always assumed that since I dream in color, everyone else does too."

Nancy jotted down a few more notes. "Do either of you have any more questions? If not, I'll see you tomorrow evening in Room 110."

Kathleen said, "What time do we have to be there? You said tommorow evening but never gave us a time."

"8:00 PM," said Nancy, "like it said on the flyer."

Kathleen nodded and got up. She walked out in the hall and muttered, "Bitch" then waited for Maxine to join her.

Maxine followed Kathleen out of the office and back into the hall. "So, where do you want to go now?" she asked. "We could go see what Barney's doing in the library, maybe help him out with his research."

Kathleen said, "We could do that or we could go see what the Black Panthers are doing. Its up to you Baby."

"I don't think the Panthers would have any information about this," said Maxine. "Let's go check up on Barney." Tbe two women left John Morgan Hall and went to the nearby Biomedical Library, where they found Barney poring over some books. It was about 9:30 AM when they arrived.

"Hey, girls," said Barney. "I've only been at it half an hour, so I don't have much to show for it yet, but I'll keep looking. If you want to lend me a hand, I'd appreciate it. So, how did your interview go? What was Dr. Anderson like?"

OOC,If you want to help [b]Barney[/b] with his research, roll Library Use.

kathy sighed and said, "I don't want to be in a libary baby. I want to party!"

"Don't you want to know everything there is to know about this Anderson cat before you become his guinea pigs?" asked Barney. "I know I would."

"That's a good point," said Maxine. "We can party again tonight, Kathy, but we should find out what we can now while the library's open."

Kathleen said, "Well you do the research and I will go do my own research. Maybe the Black Panthers know about Anderson. They are underground after all. So i will go check and meet you at the cafeteria at 11:30 AM ok?" Without waiting for an answer she left the library.

"It's going to take us longer than that to finish what we're doing," said Maxine as Kathleen left, "but we'll break for lunch then."

Kathleen went back to her car and drove into West Philly. The neighborhood where Bernie Jackson lived looked just as run-down in the daylight, but it was now more obvious to the eye. She parked near the house at around 10:00 AM.

Kathleen got out of her car and walked up to the door of Bernie Jacksons house
