I do not own Code Geass.
Experiments
First Steps
Command: Draw a small star in the top corner of the current page in your day planner when you reach the date represented by the page.
Escape clause: None.
Intent: Establish time-limit for command.
Result: 16 small stars in the afore-mentioned corners, ranging 2 weeks and 2 days. On pages where two dates are displayed (i.e. weekends) two overlapping stars are found.
Notes: Attempt to test multiple times as actually getting the day planner is unexpectedly difficult.
Occasionally steal day planner to see if (or when) it stops.
Proposal: Attempt similar experiments on others to see if the time limit changes when used on other people.
Command: Memorize one entire act of Hamlet after reading it only once. Repeat it back word for word, with punctuation marks, to me if I am both alone and say the words : "Shakespear-sama confuses me."
Escape clause: None.
Intent: Determine if Geass can affect mental capabilities in a positive manner, i.e. recall.
Result: Test subject missing from class for a day. On return, rumors spread that she was found reading Hamlet. On activation, capable of reciting the chosen act (Act 1) at a roughly 85% accuracy.
Notes: Geass seems to have affected her in such a way that she attempts to read the lines incredibly slowly, or to stop between lines to memorize that which was just read. Impossible to confirm which.
Proposals: Test if Act 1 was chosen randomly or because it was the first one.
Command: Same as the previous experiment.
Escape clause: None.
Intent: Determine selection of Act.
Result: All subjects chose Act 1.
Notes: Experiment repeated three times. Result identical.
If unspecified, will use the logical starting point to fulfill a command.
Command: Lick your elbow when you wake up tomorrow.
Escape clause: None.
Intent: Determine how physical impossibilities affect Geass.
Result: Subject seen on news-channel after removing own arm.
Notes: Extremely pleased that Subject was not student.
Proposal: Repeat experiment, but specify arm must be left intact.
Command: The same as the above, with added condition that arm must be left intact.
Escape clause: None.
Intent: Clarification of inconclusive experiment.
Result: Subject also appears on news-channel after severing tongue.
Notes: Disappointed in self that outcome was not predicted.
Proposal: Change specification to "with no harm to yourself or others as you attempt this".
Command: The same as first experiment in series, with added condition that no bodily harm was to be done to the subject himself or others.
Escape clause: None.
Intent: Final conclusion of experiment.
Result: Subject appears on news-channel again. Subject appears to still be attempting to lick elbow. Subject mostly unresponsive to others. Subject's mouth moves as if to speak, but protruding tongue prevents coherent speech.
Notes: Lack of progress frustrating.
Proposal: Stop line of experimentation. First rumors of 'elbow-licker' curse started today. Must avoid further suspicion. Add escape clause to all future commands that have opportunity to react unexpectedly.
Command: Subject was ordered to act like Princess Cornelia when left alone in my company for more than 5 minutes, and to revert back to normal if another person is noticed.
Escape clause: I say the words: "Fabulous dress, darling."
Intent: See if Geass is truly supernatural (i.e. can replicate Cornelia's personality completely without prior knowledge) or mental (i.e. replicated personality is based on personal opinion).
Result: Experiment suggests Geass is purely mental. Personality is not based on Cornelia as I have knowledge of her, but seems to be based on her public appearances.
Notes: Subject has disturbing tendency to refer to me as her (i.e. Cornelia's) destined love and expresses believe that 'we' can rule the world together.
Proposal: Geass a subject in such a way that original subject receives psychiatric help as soon as possible.
Get better release-phrases.
Command: Subject is ordered to develop Cocklaphobia.
Escape clause: Exposure to 20 instances of fear-stimulus or 2 weeks time has passed since command was given.
Intent: Ascertain extent of spontaneous mental reconditioning.
Result: Subject retained Geass-activation stage. No movement from subject.
Notes: Geass has no effect if subject does not understand core-command.
Proposal: Change command from Cocklaphobia to 'fear of hats'. Proposal immediately followed through.
Command: The same as above, only Cockaphobia has been replaced with 'fear of hats'.
Escape clause: The same as above.
Intent: The same as above.
Result: Subject accepted command and immediately soiled self when a nearby aristocrat approached. Awaiting opportunity to observe further effects. Short-term effects pronounced, but long term effects yet to be noted.
Notes: Fear seems extreme, culminating in subject curling into fetal position and crying. Subject is confused as to why he is scared. Subject immediately recovers when hat is out of sight. Subject expresses memory of extreme distress, but no knowledge of why he felt it, nor what he did in under the effects of Geass (i.e. soiling self and curling into fetal position).
Proposal: No further proposal to continue series at this time.
Command: To follow all commands written on a specific piece of paper, shown to subject.
Escape clause: Designated paper contains the sentence: 'Be free of my influence'.
Result: Subject follows orders as designated on paper, starting from the top. Changes to the orders (i.e. erasing orders and writing new ones) result in the subject following the new orders and to disregard previous orders. Subject still follows orders after paper is removed from sight and then reintroduced.
Notes: Extremely useful as prolonged, flexible Geass.
Proposal: Refine experiment in various ways. Test retention of orders.
AN: So, Code Geass.
This is basically Lelouch's logbook about the various experiments he has done with his Geass. This is merely my take on his powers, and any deviation from canon should either:
a) be reported to me as an error and/or
b) taken as an attempt for LOL's.
I'm going to get kind of silly with this. You can also expect Lulu to indulge in some of his more juvenile desires or thoughts. Paradoxes, physical impossibilities and mind-fuckery, ahoy!
Anyway, the format is (I think) rather self-explanatory. The 'Escape clause' is just a way for Lelouch to put a limit on a Geass or an escape hatch for certain scenario's (i.e. soldier Geassed to spy on Brittania will shoot himself to cover his tracks if he's discovered).
Some of these experiments will be dark, some funny, some silly. Each log will be short, concise and have some of Lulu's thoughts in them.
I'll try to follow through on fridge-logic and fridge-horror. Do you have a proposal? Sent me a PM (NOT A REVIEW) and I'll consider it. I'm really just going to ignore the review-suggestions, if they don't also have value as a legitimate review.
I know I've been jumping around in fandoms a lot, but I've been on an Anime-bender for a week or so. To put it simply, in the last week I've watched:
Mahou Sensei Negima's first 4 episodes
The entire Highschool of the Dead-Anime ( soooooo much potential wasted there *dies inside*)
Rock Lee's Springtime of Youth – Naruto spin-off first 8 episodes (surprisingly entertaining)
Rosario+Vampire's first season (skimmed through the first quarter of season 2) and
Finished both seasons of Code Geass (I stopped at S1Ep8 two months back).
… yes, I have attention-span problems. I get bored easily.
Anyway…
Read, enjoy, review.
