Where: The Lynx and Corvus area.
When: Day 145, afternoon
What: Look, some new people!

[There's a person in gray walking around the new buildings. He seems to be scanning the area around the two buildings, getting his bearings perhaps? Though he looks pretty calm and collected.

Bother?]

That's right. The guy in the tube? Is you, before you gave up your memories and were dumped here.

[A long pause.]

That was me?

Yep.

[And there's definite confusion on his face.

Mostly because he's wondering why 'he' seemed kind of...spazzy. And how exactly he got melty armor.]

. . . ?

He seemed...different.

Different?

The me in the tube seemed...very different from me here.

. . . yeah. That happens.

How often?

That's something you'd have to ask other people. No one really talks about that unless they're asked.

[Nods.] Were you different?

. . . [handwave]

I was for a while, yeah. It was up and down - hard to explain.

...can you try? [He's curious.]

[that is an awkward question]

. . . not really.

... [Sighs.] All right.

Sorry, but that kind of thing is a little personal. You might get the same reaction from other people.

...I'll keep that in mind. [And he will. It's just...very curious.]

[nods]

Any other questions?

Information about these games and the judges would be appreciated.

Right. Well.

Games are different depending on the judge. Some of 'em are stupid, like drinking until you're shitfaced and doing really dumb things. Others are games of skill, others will change you physically for a few days for the hell of it. It honestly depends on the judge running it.

As for the judges themselves? Surgeon, Mirror, Trickster, and Game Master are probably the most dangerous. Toss Flowers in there, too, I guess, she's kind of gone off the deep end too. Those five run the most dangerous games - the ones you get seriously hurt in, and the ones that you can die in.

[Wait, who, what?]

Die? How often do people die?

Not often, but it happens. Death in games isn't permanent, you come back, but it's painful and a pain in the ass.

Well, that's...

[Trails off, seeming to be considering this idea.]

[shrugs]

That's how things are.
