Or worse.

Yeah. But we'll avoid that. The other teams know how it works, so it shouldn't be too hard.

A good point.

But that's for later.

What have the others explained so far?

There's a lot. Win games, beware of the Judges, don't break the rules.

Sounds like most of the basics. Did they tell you about teh Black Team?

I believe the term used for them was "the bad team".

Not necessarily the bad team. The people are not necessarily bad, but they are the enforcers. They carry out the Judges will.

So they do the Judges' dirty work.

Basically. As far as I can figure, either the Judges got too many people for them to keep track of and handle or....they keep the punishers around to add more tension to the Blanks.

But they're more or less like us. When it comes to the what the Judges command and the Games, they change just like everyone else, but aside from that, they might not be half bad.

Is that your opinion on them?

Yeah. I've talked to a few and nothing bad happened and they were nice enough.

I would use more caution around them because the Judges aren't all that trustworthy, but I wouldn't say think of them them as the bad guys for solely being on that team.

I guess I'll have to meet them myself to see.

You'll meet some of them eventually.

Anything you have questions about specifically the others couldn't answer?

... Bond said something about a Pillar.

Ah.

The Pillar is one of the two places people go that isn't when they get their wish. One is the Foreman, who apparently turns you into an ant to do work. People saw it when they came to build our dorms.

The Pillar is the less preferred option. It's apparently this...rock that kind of eats you. Some people come back, but since people still hate it, it's probably not pleasant in there. You can see it, but you need one of the black team with you when you go.

...

But it's probably better not to go. We're all here, and it's probably not a pleasant place anyway.

I will take your word for it.

I know it sounds weird. But that's a pretty common thing around here.

It doesn't sound so weird. We are a ...team after all.

Well, I meant the rock, but...

Yeah, we're a team. We're all here for each other. A family, like the inscription said.

... Family.

[Smiles and nods, looking over at the others.] Yeah.

Surprising how much bonding you can do only in five days, but we're gonna try not to let each other down.

Sounds ... like "fun".
