Why do you think the scientists chose us? Do you think it's something special or was it just random?

...And, for the record, the communicator really does shock you if you don't use it enough.

Hmph. Then don't allow it to go long enough to shock you.

[iknowitspurpose]

I did it on purpose. As an experiment. I'm sure there's some way to remove the feature, if I could just tinker with it a bit more....

[pimpslaprose]

Why would such a feature be included at all?

[iknowitspurpose]

For conditioning.

[iknowitspurpose]

It looks like many of us are not the only ones here from our worlds, which leads me to believe it really isn't random. But, there's always coincidence....

[brbmodernizing]

..Perhaps each individual has some beneficial quality to the city. I've wondered this myself since I've arrived.. I have yet to really understand.

[iknowitspurpose]

Some of us are bound to be more useful than others.

[brbmodernizing]

Such is so in everyday society as well.

[iknowitspurpose]

Then couldn't they have just kidnapped one world instead of many?

[moarcowbell]

I like to think they put names in a hat and drew it that way.

[iknowitspurpose]

...Is that really what you think?

[moarcowbell]

Is it such a weird thought?

[iknowitspurpose]

...It kind of is.

[memoriesclouded]

Special or random, I don't like it either way.

Isn't that great. [ Doesn't like using his phone that much, now he's forced to use this. Glares at the thing in his hand. ]

[iknowitspurpose]

Which one do you think it is, though?

The average amount of time is 2 weeks without use before it shocks you.

[memoriesclouded]

Both? They gathered a list of

potential specimens andthen picked and chose at random. [ That was a pause. ]

2 weeks isn't too bad, I guess.

[iknowitspurpose]

I guess they could have done that. I wonder what makes us potential specimens.

But you have to post on the network. Talking to others who have posted doesn't reset the shock.
