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?]

Dagger is fine.

[Filling up another glass.]

[winner is me]

And that's one down, two to go.

Why don't you use the other one for yourself?

Naaah. I'll think of something else. Something more suiting.

What about Captain?

... seriously?

[Looking at the floor, shrugging.]

You just seem like the type that likes to take charge.

... well. I will if I haveta, but.

Never mind, let Hope give you a name. That way everyone helped someone else.

... Hope's a good name for her.

The message in her tube sounded hopeful.

Yeah?

... mine says something like... "tale that can't be told, my freedom I hold dear," but it looked anything but hopeful.

What does that mean? We're not very free here if we have to do what those Judges want, are we?

Yeah. Real nice way to confuse things more. "I like my freedom, but you know what, I'll go along with these games willingly"--the hell?

You think they are as dangerous as they say?

... the games?

...Yeah.

... yeah, pretty much. Don't think you can make that stuff up.

Then what do we do?! What's the point if we don't even remember why we're doing it?

[. . . good questions]

Look. We're here now. We can't get out. I heard those caves and tunnels are a mess and there's even worse out there. We're here now. So we might as well get on with whatever we wanted ourselves to do. We win games, we get back those memories, we find out why we came here, and we look to win. Simple, right?

...Simple.

And what if you die?

If these judges are as powerful as people are saying, they'll just bring me back. It'll be temporary.

...I still don't like it.

Join the club. But like I said, we're here now. We do what the inscription says and fight in the games to win back our memories. We're not alone in this.

Inscription? The man from Lynx mentioned it too. You can understand the symbols on the door?
