The Second Day.

[shotyoutwice]

A carnival, hm? For this place being how it is, I must say those gods certainly know how to keep their hostages entertained, at least.

Though, I wouldn't look this gift horse in the mouth too much.

[dataerror]

You believe that we're hostages?

[shotyoutwice]

Or lab rats.

[dataerror]

A rather large assumption either way.

[shotyoutwice]

Perhaps, but it's a viable one, yes?

[dataerror]

That all depends on whether you believe that a carnival can gather data of some description.

[shotyoutwice]

Anything can gather data.

[dataerror]

The question of whether it would actually prove usefully remains. What would one seek to discover if we were lab rats? The general question of whether we can all survive?

[shotyoutwice]

That's a fairly open-ended question, isn't it?

[dataerror]

That was the idea.

[shotyoutwice]

One point for me, I suppose.

[dataerror]

It's a good thing that I never play for points.

[shotyoutwice]

What do you play for? Information?

[dataerror]

Perhaps, or maybe I just play for fun.

[shotyoutwice]

So I see.

Who might you be?

[dataerror]

Hm.

Zima. You would be?

[shotyoutwice]

Joshua. It's nice to meet you, Zima.
