[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?]

I think I will decide my own name. [H-he just has to think a minute.]

[blue_mind_group.insanejournal.com]

That's probably better; that way you can be sure you'll get something you like.

[lone_centurion.insanejournal.com]

How do people end up with names they don't like? They can just reject a name they dislike.

[blue_mind_group.insanejournal.com]

It's not so much 'dislike' as 'tolerate', if you can't think of anything better, or don't care enough to find your own.

[lone_centurion.insanejournal.com]

I'll be sure to decide quickly then.

[blue_mind_group.insanejournal.com]

*nods*

I bet you're full of questions; ask away.

[lone_centurion.insanejournal.com]

[Ponders what he doesn't know.]

What can you tell me about the Judges and the Games?

[blue_mind_group.insanejournal.com]

...that's a pretty big topic. Pick one of those to start with.

[lone_centurion.insanejournal.com]

The Judges then. Who are they?

[blue_mind_group.insanejournal.com]

The short version: they're gods, the pantheon of this plane, as far as we can tell. They run the Games with our memories as the prize; if we stay long enough, we can ask them for any one thing and have it granted.

[lone_centurion.insanejournal.com]

Why?

[blue_mind_group.insanejournal.com]

That's the question nobody knows the answer to.

[lone_centurion.insanejournal.com]

Has anyone ever gotten this wish that we've seen?

[blue_mind_group.insanejournal.com]

*nods*

About...six or seven people, now. It just started happening; it seems as though it takes about a hundred days, give or take.

[lone_centurion.insanejournal.com]

And do you know for sure they got them?

[blue_mind_group.insanejournal.com]

The amount of effort it would have taken to fake some of what was done is prohibitive.

[lone_centurion.insanejournal.com]

Prohibited by what?

[blue_mind_group.insanejournal.com]

Not prohibited, prohibitive. Too much effort for too little result; it's inefficient.

[lone_centurion.insanejournal.com]

[Seems to think about that.]

I suppose I'll get to see something like a wish being granted to another at some point?

[blue_mind_group.insanejournal.com]

More than likely.

[lone_centurion.insanejournal.com]

Then I guess I'll wait to see it for myself.

[blue_mind_group.insanejournal.com]

Fair enough.

[lone_centurion.insanejournal.com]

I heard some of the Judges were worse than the others?

[blue_mind_group.insanejournal.com]

Definitely. The ones to watch for at this point are Surgeon, Mirror, Game Master, Haunted and Flowers. Storyteller can go either way, Persona is invasive but not sadistic. The rest usually aren't bad, but you can never trust them completely.

[lone_centurion.insanejournal.com]

Someone mentioned Surgeon. That most people are afraid to say his name. WHy is that?
