 [Action - All around town]

[A certain catboy is up to his usual routine, walking--or teleporting--around looking for mischief.

What one is likely to notice, though, is that today Schrodinger is wearing a Hitler Youth uniform. If people didn't know he was a Nazi before, it should be obvious now.

He's likely to approach anyone he sees and give them a friendly greeting.]

It has come to my attention that many of you seem to have great difficulty understanding the Schrodinger's cat thought experiment. I'm almost starting to get bored of explaining it! [Except not really, because he's found that the results of trying to explain it to people in Mayfield are often hilarious.]

So, let me ask...how many of you are already familiar with it?

[schooling]

Hm. That's the one where there's a cat in a box, and it's alive and dead at the same time, right?

I know you end up with a cat graveyard out of it if you use neurotoxin as the poison.

[She skipped the thought part of the experiment.]

[You'd best be ready, because Key-Fu's come a-calling.]

I believe I am not familiar with juicing the kitten of shoddy bells!

[Phone]

[selfobservation]

Ah, very good, miss!

That's the part that most people seem to argue about.

Phone

[selfobservation]

Ah...you're not actually supposed to try it out...that's why it's a "thought" experiment!

Phone

[selfobservation]

Uh...could you rephrase that, perhaps?

Phone

[getsciencedone]

I was bored. And we had a lot of cats.

Phone

[selfobservation]

But that didn't really prove much of anything, did it...?

[Phone]

[schooling]

The physics theories were always a little over my head.

Why do you have to keep explaining it, anyway? It can't that popular of a topic in a place like this, can it?

[monk_of_keyfu]

My good lad, I refer to the fling of feline fancy of which you speak!

Phone

[getsciencedone]

It proved quite a few things. It was a very successful test.

[thebeastwithout]

Objects in motion stay in motion! Haha, easy. Totally knew that one.

[selfobservation]

...What about it?

[selfobservation]

...Well that's a new one.

And incorrect!

Phone

[selfobservation]

Care to share, then?

[Phone]

[selfobservation]

Because I am Schrodinger's cat, more or less.

[monk_of_keyfu]

Its meaning is shrouded in the mires of mystery!

[selfobservation]

So you're saying you...don't understand it?

[thebeastwithout]

Whaaaat?! C'mon! It's like when a cat is sleeping, nothing you do can make it move because it'll just scratch you but if it's running away 'cause you stepped on its tail, there's no way it's gonna stop!

[selfobservation]

...People get scratched by cats anyway, you know.

Schrodinger's cat is neither dead nor alive.

[thebeastwithout]

What?

That's just weird. How can it not be dead or alive?

[selfobservation]

Well, he's in a box, right?

And poison may or may not be released into the box, but you can't know if it has or hasn't.

So how do you know if the cat is still alive or not?

[monk_of_keyfu]

Harken!

[There's a brief burst of commotion on the other end of the line ... Key-Fu is now standing on one foot in an awkward martial arts kata. While still talking on the phone.]

One must first prance upon the land of knowledge to understand its lay! I have only begun this journey!

[that_cat_that_hates_leeks]

[ On the roof of 1332 Benny Road, Schrodinger may or may not notice an orange-haired boy resting on it. Kyo, however, does notice the person, and more importantly the cat ears; the uniform isn't recognized. If Schroedinger does look, Kyo will be staring right back. ]

[thebeastwithout]

Open the box?
