[02:57] Miss Midnyght: Cassandra? Is that you?
[02:57] subject4354h: oh, a new voice!
[02:58] subject4354h: do you know my Mommy?
[02:58] Miss Midnyght: Who are you?
[02:59] subject4354h: ooh, Mommy said not to talk to strangers
[03:00] Miss Midnyght: Well, how about we introduce ourselves? Then we're no longer strangers.
[03:00] Miss Midnyght: I'm Midnight. That's the name I use, because I'm so often up around Midnight
[03:01] subject4354h: okay. Hi! My name is Jessica. I'm named that because my grandfather was named Jessie, and Mommy says he died just before I was born
[03:01] Miss Midnyght: Well, it's nice to meet you Jessica
[03:01] subject4354h: and it's nice to meet you, Midnight. Do you know my Mommy?
[03:02] Miss Midnyght: I'm not sure. What is your mommy like?
[03:02] subject4354h: Uncle Charlie said she would be waiting for me when I woke up. She needed to be fixed.
[03:02] Miss Midnyght: And was she waiting?
[03:03] subject4354h: Not yesterday, when I started to wake up.
[03:03] subject4354h: but I got tired really soon, so I went back to sleep
[03:03] subject4354h: maybe I slept when Mommy came, and she left?
[03:04] Miss Midnyght: Could be. She'll probably be back then
[03:04] subject4354h: Teehee, this place is funny
[03:04] subject4354h: when I woke up, I thought I was in Heaven
[03:05] Miss Midnyght: What does it look like?
[03:05] subject4354h: my Daddy would be waiting for me there
[03:05] subject4354h: it's like a big circus tent! And there are lots and lots of bubbles floating all around
[03:05] Miss Midnyght: Is there anyone with you? Or are you alone?
[03:06] subject4354h: The pretty bubbles are Cassandra. She doesn't like me to pop her bubbles.
[03:06] Miss Midnyght: Better leave them alone then. Cassandra is nice. Wouldn't want to upset her.
[03:07] subject4354h: She was not nice before. Marcus had to punish her.
[03:07] subject4354h: She is becoming nicer. We will make her very happy
[03:08] Miss Midnyght: What did she do that wasn't nice?
[03:08] subject4354h: she was thinking evil thoughts
[03:08] subject4354h: she wanted to hurt me. Oh, I wouldn't let her, but Marcus is very protective
[03:09] Miss Midnyght: I'm sure he is. He's your brother after all
[03:10] Miss Midnyght: Now why would Cassandra want to hurt you?
[03:11] Miss Midnyght: Couldn't it be that she was just scared?
[03:11] subject4354h: I can see what she was thinking
[03:11] subject4354h: this place was hers once
[03:11] Miss Midnyght: Yes, it was
[03:12] subject4354h: Marcus made it safe for me, and turned Cassandra into bubbles
[03:12] Miss Midnyght: Well, I can understand that she was upset then. You wouldn't want people to take something away that belongs to you either, would you?
[03:13] subject4354h: If someone tried to take something from me, Marcus would punish them.
[03:13] subject4354h: Marcus says this is a safe place for me.
[03:14] subject4354h: When I wake up, I need all my strength
[03:14] Miss Midnyght: You're not awake now?
[03:15] subject4354h: oh no, but I'm not asleep anymore
[03:15] subject4354h: I'm nappy!
[03:16] Miss Midnyght: And when you wake up, are you going to return Cassandra's place to her?
[03:16] subject4354h: I don't know...I like watching Cassandra's bubbles
[03:17] subject4354h: they're so pretty
[03:18] Miss Midnyght: But they don't belong to you.
[03:18] subject4354h: you're right. You're so smart! Okay, Cassandra can have her bubbles back, when I'm done
[03:18] subject4354h: if I don't pop any more teehee
[03:19] Miss Midnyght: I'm sure you won't. They're too pretty for that
[03:19] Miss Midnyght: If you pop them, you can't look at them anymore
[03:19] subject4354h: ooh, but when I pop one, I see what's inside! it's like watching a magician's illusion
[03:20] subject4354h: do you want to see?
[03:20] subject4354h: that one, that's Cassandra's favorite bubble
[03:20] Miss Midnyght: No, they belong to Cassandra
[03:20] subject4354h: it's called sssandra. It must be about herself. That's a funny name!
[03:21] Miss Midnyght: I'm sure it's very pretty... Like a treasure.
[03:21] subject4354h: ooh, look! it's getting brighter
[03:22] subject4354h: it's like a purple and blue crystal flower
[03:22] subject4354h: Cassandra can see her! Ooh, I bet she's happy
[03:22] subject4354h: Her? Sandra! I see
[03:23] subject4354h: that's like if I had a friend named Essica!
[03:23] Miss Midnyght: A friend that's like a part of yourself
[03:24] Miss Midnyght: Do you have any friends, Jessica?
[03:24] subject4354h: I play with Marcus sometimes, but he isn't always fun. He's too serious.
[03:25] subject4354h: Uncle Charlie was nice, sometimes. But sometimes he had evil thoughts, and had to be punished
[03:25] subject4354h: he wouldn't play with me after we punished his wife.
[03:26] Miss Midnyght: Why did you punish her?
[03:26] subject4354h: once, because Eliza asked us to. Eliza was very nice to us. I liked her.
[03:27] subject4354h: she called me Bella Donna, a pretty girl
[03:28] Miss Midnyght: Yes, I think I heard that name
[03:28] Miss Midnyght: It's very pretty
[03:28] subject4354h: thank you! I like Midnight. It sounds mysterious

[03:30] subject4354h: hello?
[03:30] Miss Midnyght: um... hi
[03:30] Miss Midnyght: What happened?
[03:30] subject4354h: I think Cassandra was trying to wake up
[03:30] subject4354h: she does that sometimes
[03:30] subject4354h: Marcus had to punish her again
[03:31] subject4354h: she will be in the corner, counting, like Mommy used to make us do when we were bad. Punishment is for our own good.
[03:31] subject4354h: Punishment is to make us better.
[03:32] subject4354h: We will be happy when it is over.
[03:32] Miss Midnyght: But she doesn't need to be punished for waking up, does she? What's so bad about that? You're going to wake up too
[03:32] Miss Midnyght: Should I make you stand in the corner and count, for that?
[03:32] subject4354h: I told her not to disturb me here. She should know better.
[03:33] subject4354h: it is rude!
[03:33] Miss Midnyght: But you said yourself, this is her place. You're her guest at the moment.
[03:34] subject4354h: she did not invite me. Marcus made this for me. It's HIS place, now.
[03:34] subject4354h: if she was nice, and did not need to be punished, then I would be a guest
[03:35] Miss Midnyght: Maybe she thinks you're rude, because she did not invite you
[03:35] Miss Midnyght: Where were you, before Marcus made this place for you? Wasn't that a nice place too?
[03:35] subject4354h: I am helping her. I will make her happy. She will be happy I was here.
[03:36] subject4354h: I was in a dark place, but it was not safe. I remember hearing the Music, but the music stopped, and now I am here.
[03:36] Miss Midnyght: What kind of music?
[03:36] subject4354h: the fun music!
[03:37] subject4354h: when I press the buttons, the music plays on the TV. I like pressing the buttons and making the music play.
[03:37] subject4354h: Uncle Charlie gave me the music!
[03:38] subject4354h: he said it would help me concentrate. He said it would help me to be smart.
[03:38] Miss Midnyght: I'm sure it worked. You seem like a very smart girl to me
[03:39] subject4354h: It was hard at first, pressing the buttons.
[03:39] subject4354h: I had to really pay attention!
[03:40] Miss Midnyght: But it was fun, right?
[03:40] Miss Midnyght: I don't understand how any place could be not safe for you. You are smart and you have Marcus protecting you
[03:40] subject4354h: yes! I want to push the buttons again, but there is no TV here
[03:41] subject4354h: Marcus says we weren't together before
[03:41] subject4354h: he was with people who lived outside and smelled funny
[03:41] subject4354h: I don't know where I was. I was asleep.
[03:42] Miss Midnyght: Did you have nice dreams?
[03:42] subject4354h: oh yes! I dreamed about making everyone in the world happy.
[03:43] subject4354h: I dreamed about making my mommy happy. She wouldn't drink from the dark bottle anymore, and she wouldn't become Sad Mommy.
[03:44] subject4354h: I dreamed I broke all the dark bottles.
[03:44] Miss Midnyght: I'm sorry Jessica. I wish your mom would be happier. And I can understand why you would wnt to do just that. But you can't make everyone in the whole world happy!
[03:45] subject4354h: oh, yes I can!
[03:46] Miss Midnyght: But how would you know people where happy if no one is unhappy anymore?
[03:46] subject4354h: when I wake up, Marcus says we will have lots of friends who will help us make everyone happy
[03:46] subject4354h: because we would take away all the evil thoughts
[03:46] subject4354h: when people stop thinking unhappy, they will be happy
[03:47] subject4354h: Marcus says he made...Joe? Jesh? ... one of his new friends Happy
[03:48] Miss Midnyght: Josh. He's my friend too.
[03:49] subject4354h: isn't it great that Marcus made him happy for you
[03:49] subject4354h: we will make everyone happy like Josh, and we will all be happy
[03:50] Miss Midnyght: And everything will stay that way forever?
[03:50] subject4354h: Why would anyone want to be unhappy?
[03:51] Miss Midnyght: Because they have to learn to overcome their own problems. Otherwise they don't know why they are happy. And nothing would change anymore.
[03:51] Miss Midnyght: You'd probably get bored
[03:52] subject4354h: We will fix everyone's problems. We will keep them happy. They will know they are happy because we will remind them every day, and celebrate the end of evil!
[03:53] subject4354h: It would be like a birthday party every day, with cake and baloons and candles that everyone can blow out and be happy
[03:54] Miss Midnyght: If it was a birthday party every day, you'd get sick from eating only cake Razz

[03:55] subject4354h: I can eat cake every day! We will make everyone happy to eat cake every day
[03:56] Miss Midnyght: Jessica, I'd be really happy if I could talk to Josh. But he doesn't remember me or any of his friends. How can someone be happy without friends?
[03:57] subject4354h: Josh has a friend! I AM JOSH'S FRIEND. JOSH IS HAPPY TO HAVE ME AS A FRIEND.
[03:57] subject4354h: nnnnnnnnnooooottttttthaaaaaaaaaaapppppyyyyyy
[03:58] subject4354h: SHUT UP! SHUT UP, YOU UNHAPPY PERSON!
[03:58] subject4354h: COUNT! COUNT! DO IT! YOU ARE BAD AND YOU HAVE TO BE PUNISHED!
[03:58] subject4354h: oooooooooooooooonnnnnnnnneeeeeeeeeeeee
[03:58] subject4354h: tttttttwwwwwwwwwooooooooooooo
[03:59] subject4354h: tttttttthhhhhhhhhhrrrrreeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
[03:59] subject4354h: I'm sorry. Cassandra is being bad again.
[04:00] Miss Midnyght: She just said she wasn't happy. That's not being bad.
[04:00] subject4354h: Cassandra cannot hear Marcus, so it she sometimes forgets to behave. She will learn.
[04:01] subject4354h: I think she was saying that Josh wasn't happy. That is a lie. Lying is a bad BAD thing.
[04:03] Miss Midnyght: Are you sure that she's lying? I don't think I would be very happy if I couldn't remember anything. I would be scared
[04:04] subject4354h: Marcus says...Marcus says...
[04:05] subject4354h: he says that Josh is happy, but he is trying to think bad thoughts.
[04:05] subject4354h: he knows he will be punished if he does.
[04:06] Miss Midnyght: Josh wanted to be your friend. He wanted to help you. He wanted YOU to be happy. It's not very nice to punish someone who wants to help you.
[04:08] subject4354h: did he play the music for me?
[04:09] Miss Midnyght: I'm not sure. I wasn't there. But it sounds like the kind of thing he would do
[04:09] subject4354h: then if he wanted me to be happy, why wouldn't I want him to be happy?
[04:09] Miss Midnyght: I think Josh isn't happy. I think he's scared, Jessica. I want to talk to him. He's my friend.
[04:11] subject4354h: iiiiiiiiiikkkkkknnnnnnnnoooowwwwwwwaaaaawwaaaaaaayyyyyyyyy
[04:11] subject4354h: I'm thinking.
[04:11] subject4354h: are you sure, cassandra?
[04:12] subject4354h: I don't like it
[04:12] subject4354h: if he's not happy, I should just fix him
[04:13] Miss Midnyght: He'll be happy if he can talk to us, I'm sure. And it will make me happy to talk to Josh

At this moment, Josh came online, on IRC. (See the log further down)

[04:15] Miss Midnyght: Thank you Jessica
[04:15] subject4354h: I don't like this at all. this will not make him happy. I can make him happy.
[04:19] subject4354h: who is Alyssa?
[04:19] Miss Midnyght: One of his friends, I'm sure. He has many friends.
[04:20] subject4354h: they cannot make him happy like I can
[04:20] Miss Midnyght: They make him happy. But not like you do, no
[04:22] subject4354h: he is forgetting his lesson. MARCUS!
[04:23] Miss Midnyght: What lesson?
[04:23] subject4354h: he is forgetting to be happy
[04:24] subject4354h: he is making himself unhappy. Why would anyone want to make themselves unhappy?! Oooh, this is so frustrating!
[04:25] subject4354h: NO
[04:25] Miss Midnyght: Why won't you let him be himself?
[04:26] subject4354h: because he is not happy!
[04:26] subject4354h: he thinks of evil things that make him unhappy!
[04:27] subject4354h: Sandra? Like the bubble Sandra?
[04:28] Miss Midnyght: He's talking about music. Music cheers people up. As you know.
[04:28] subject4354h: maybe if I brought Sandra here, that would make him happy
[04:30] Miss Midnyght: Can you do that?
[04:31] subject4354h: I can find her, with Cassandra's help. But Cass has fought it.
[04:33] Miss Midnyght: Maybe you'd better don't. It might not make him happy at all. I think we're doing fine as it is.
[04:35] subject4354h: I want her here. I want her strength added to mine.
[04:36] subject4354h: Josh has told me that I can see many more people through her.
[04:38] subject4354h: I want to see many more people. I want to make everyone happy.
[04:38] Miss Midnyght: But you're not even awake yet. And there's still so much to see, before you see all those other people
[04:41] subject4354h: i know...and i am feeling tired
[04:41] subject4354h: I think, tomorrow...tomorrow I will be ready.
[04:42] subject4354h: marcus says...they have caught her.
[04:42] Miss Midnyght: I see...
[04:42] subject4354h: she will be here tomorrow. Just in time =)
[04:43] subject4354h: nnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnooo
[04:43] subject4354h: YES
[04:43] subject4354h: why are you so unhappy about that? your friend will be here with you!
[04:47] subject4354h: I will fix Josh.
[04:49] subject4354h: I have a lot of work to do, before I wake up
[04:49] Miss Midnyght: You must be tired
[04:50] subject4354h: I am
[04:50] Miss Midnyght: Me too
[04:50] subject4354h: are you happy?
[04:51] Miss Midnyght: No
[04:51] subject4354h: Sad

[04:51] subject4354h: that makes me unhappy
[04:51] Miss Midnyght: But I am happier, because you let me talk to Josh
[04:51] Miss Midnyght: Does that help?
[04:52] subject4354h: yes
[04:52] subject4354h: and soon, and I will make sure you are very happy
[04:52] Miss Midnyght: I have no doubt of that
[04:53] subject4354h: :yawn: i need to go
[04:53] subject4354h: it was nice of you to talk to me.
[04:54] Miss Midnyght: You're welcome.
[04:55] subject4354h: I wish mommy were here. I want her to be happy.
