Leaving his new home, room #104, Roger walked down the hall, hoping to meet some of the other residents of the Stonewood Dormitory. At the moment, it
seemed no one was about, until Roger noticed the door to the room at the far end of the hall was open. He walked up and lightly rapped on the door. "Hello?"
A small, slightly nerdish looking young man with glasses looked up from something he was examining. "Hmmm?"
"Uh, hi. I'm Roger. I just moved in, down near the other end of the hall."
"I'm Mark," the other fellow replied, seeming rather distracted. He looked Roger over for a moment. "You'll do. Come in. You can help me with an experiment."
A little puzzled but wanting to be helpful, Roger stepped into the room. He stopped suddenly when he saw a young asian woman sitting on a futon couch. Doing a
double take, he saw the "woman" was only some kind of life sized latex doll, although a very realistic one. "Who... I mean, what's this?"
"Hmmm? Oh, this is Mai. Part of the experiment. Here, hold this." Mark handed Roger what looked like some type of glow stick like they use at dances.
"What's this for?" Roger asked, taking the stick.
Mark returned his attention to the device he had been concentrating on. "You'll see."
