*The feed comes on showing Hex sitting on a spindly chair in a circular room with a giant window for the wall. Her mask looks annoyed.* It's been so dull lately. Nothing's happened in seconds! I'm starting to miss the Games...they always provided so much entertainment when they fell

Don't know much about programs, but I used t'have some physical paint stored around somewhere.

An' you've got a maze? What's it made out of? Maize? Rocks?

[wantshersprite]

It might be interesting to try it the hard way.

Stone. It's much more interesting than those old ruined buildings that used to be here~.

[cornered_circle]

Th' hard way's more satisfying, sometimes. Or y'can just throw paint around an call it abstract, like the professionals.

But old ruined things are like natural mazes! An' since they're natural, you don't even have the certainty of there bein' an exit.

I do~ like making abstract pieces~.

[wantshersprite]

The streets were far too clear for that. You'd just be able to walk wherever you wanted to go without a problem!

[cornered_circle]

Abstract can be fun, if just to see people tryin' to find meaning in it.

And oh, that's pretty disappointing. It's not properly ruined unless y'can barely move around an' it's all a mess of broken bits and things that could fall in or fall off at any time.

[wantshersprite]

And it is so amusing watching people confuse themselves~.

Not at all like Lost Angles...people were al~ways getting lost there, even without my help~!

[cornered_circle]

People are good at that! Picking out patterns that ain't there, just because they like patterns so much, and then gettin' all frustrated when the result doesn't make sense.

How do you lose an angle? By changin' it into another one?

[wantshersprite]

I'm not sure why. It's much more interesting when you don't know if there's a pattern!

That was the name of my island. It was wonderfully chaotic when I got there~.

[cornered_circle]

Because it's nature, I s'pose. Law of the Averages, something like that.

...but if you found the island, that doesn't make it very lost. Unless it kept moving around?

[wantshersprite]

But chaos is so~ much much bet~ter!

I'm not quite sure why they call it that. I think it's because there used to be a city there.

[cornered_circle]

Can there be a Law of Chaos? Like, if it's a rule of chaos that it's chaotic, does that mean it has an order?

Should be Lost City, then. Tho' I suppose cities are full of angles. 'ard to think of anything that's not full of angles. Angles, bugs, and organs - that's ninety percent of the world, right there.

[wantshersprite]

No. Chaos is a little bit of every~thing.

Ooooh, I didn't know Users had bugs too!

[cornered_circle]

But that's a law in itself, ain't it? One big law, stickin' out in the middle of chaos...

People are full of bugs! Bugs just fall out of them, an' they spend all their time complaining about not having the right bugs.

[wantshersprite]

NO! That's NOT how chaos works!

[cornered_circle]

If chaos can 'work', it doesn't sound very chaotic.
