-Soren- *places the ring in the spiral's path and waits for the ring to glow; it is replaced by a square spiral*
-*sprays the apple bottle and it is replaced by a lemon odour*

<Snipped quote by Armed Forces>

*the air becomes warm, with a cool area*

@Efficacy

*This time, I quickly press the corresponding cool button without moving my hand*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Armed Forces>

*the area around you becomes hot, with a warm pocket*

@Efficacy

*Moves my arm around*
Okay, so it's not about all of the air, just the secluded...
*Smacks an equally warm button*
Sections.

<Snipped quote by Armed Forces>

*your senses, except for your sense of touch, are stolen; the air around you becomes cold with a pocket of cool*

<Snipped quote by Legend>

*your senses, except for your sense of hearing, are stolen; you hear a faint buzzing sound*

@Balance *your senses, except for your sense of sight, are stolen; you see a spiralling trail*

@Efficacy *your senses, except for your sense of smell, are stolen; you smell an orange odour*

@Efficacy

*Holds one hand in thenair while I feel around the array of surfaces with another, then presses the corresponding cool*
And we'll find out the hard way whether I have to press the really cold one...
*Holds my hand over the cold button and waits*

-Voice- ... Parsing statement... I am functional and ironic. I am not necessarily meant to be fun. Soren, please pick up the ring.
-Soren- *does so*
-Voice- Are all of you ready?
-Soren- Ready.
-Ready.

@Efficacy

Ready.

@Efficacy

Alright.
*Steps up to them*

-Voice- Do you remember how the touch test works?

@Efficacy

Yes.

<Snipped quote by Legend>

<Snipped quote by Armed Forces>

-Voice- So be it. Please return to the testing area.

@Efficacy

*Goes*

Myriad Reality

@Efficacy

Yes.

-Voice- ... Parsing expression... It is merely procedure. However, considering your exemplary performance so far, my superiors may not require you to complete the entire test.
@Armed Forces Lucas and Aron, please proceed to the healing area so that your burns may be healed. Soren, Kelly, do you feel that you need assistance?
-Soren- Meh.

@Efficacy

I'll be okay.

Myriad Reality

-Soren- *chooses the right hot, but the wrong cold, and my hand suddenly gets extremely cold and almost freezes before the temperature differential disappears* Blast. *a different hot and cold appear*
-Aron- *quickly runs between the two sounds* Whisper. Rustle. *they are replaced by two twanging sounds*

<Snipped quote by Armed Forces>

*the odours turn wine and lime and then are replaced by bread, grape, and lemon*

@Efficacy

*Sprays the cinnamon first to get rid of the distinctive bread smell, then sprays the lime to get rid of the citrus tint. After that, I quickly identify and neitralize the grape with the wine*
