[Okay but WHY ARE THE SPRINKLERS ON in the foyer and all along the central corridors?]

[They're just ... going to keep going. And going. And going, for just over half an hour, until there are some nice puddles all over the floors.]

[at least you don't have a ton of hair]

Because the ones in charge here are assholes.

[hardertheyfall]

[ Yeah, that makes it easier to bear. ]

I figured they were the ones doing it. I just don't get why. Did we smell bad?

[experiencepoints]

No, but we'll be less likely to play softer or do things together to beat the game if we're cold, wet, hungry, and miserable.

[hardertheyfall]

I spent way too much time in training being all of those things and all it taught me was to work with other people more.

[experiencepoints]

At that time, were you in a direct competition for resources with those other people you were working with?

[hardertheyfall]

Sometimes. We were trying to weed out the weak.

[experiencepoints]

Uh-huh. It's not going to be that easy here.

[hardertheyfall]

Nothing ever is.

[ Dramatic sigh. ]

[experiencepoints]

Speaking of easy, how did you avoid the first round?

[hardertheyfall]

Dumb luck?

[experiencepoints]

So, nothing useful.

[hardertheyfall]

Not so far. Why. What happened to you?

[experiencepoints]

Nothing we can talk about publicly. Remember the rules?

[hardertheyfall]

Right.

... How are they supposed to enforce that? Are they just going to assume we'll rat each other out?

[experiencepoints]

I'm assuming hidden cameras and microphones and the like.
