Some of us went into the testing rooms and some dude with a name that starts with V is being mean to Mare and the intercom dude turned on Thomas the Train for Isadore so now she’s confused

Her grip tightened on the fake person.

They whimper a little bit in pain. "Please, stop... that hurts..."

Novem pulls out a notebook that reads, when translated, as just "Notes" and writes this down. "So, what got you into doing Wizardry in the first place?"

"I needed a job, and burning through your life force to use magic pays better and is more interesting than being a bookbinder like my father."

Novem raises an eyebrow. "Wait a second, you use your own life force for your magic? Why?"

"How else would you do it? Wizards, and other people for that matter, usually die before they run out of life force, anyway. I've heard archmagic can restore life force, but most of it was lost, so it takes decades of study to piece it together, and even more to actually explain how it works to another."

"Wait, so does this mean that our race has untapped life force reserves?" he frantically scribbles this down. "You are truly fascinating to listen to."

"Yes, we do. Typically people die of accidents, illness, and such before running out of life force. Some wizards figured out how to burn life force in a specific order, starting with things that don't negativity effect you, like graying hair, so we're even less likely to die of overcasting."

He nods. He pulls out a book, the title saying The Book of Forbidden Knowledge, Vol. 1. "Does this interest you?"

"Enter. The. Testing. Area. Please" The doors rumble expectantly. 

A TV glitches up in a corner and begins playing some news story about some deprived game people play in which children kill each other for entertainment.

A man with a dagger flipping around in his hands grins as the doors slam shut. "Oh my, Modoloth feeling generous today, I see. quite the pretty woman" then a voice crackles over the intercom. "Vice, no" and the man looks up, sad. "Damn"

"Oh, is that what we're supposed to be doing?"

Bacon stepped into the testing room and surveyed the scene.

It played the sound of a thousand metal pipes hitting concrete in rapid succession.

Yes giggled and stood up, following Silly. "That was LOUD, Silly!" she giggled.

"Where are we going?" she asked, looking around.

There's a single thermostat in your room, which is entirely black.

[xinoehp512 he/him]

Bacon poked the thermostat to see if anything interesting would happen.

"I guess we'll see," said Bacon, looking around at the bare room. "Surely there's more than this."

They’re not here, they’re not here…

”I’m sorry,” she said quietly, “but it’s not real for either of us.”

Olvax raises an eyebrow, and that eye changes, the pupil becoming a slit. "So you want to hire me?"

"Some sort of boring box," said Bacon with disappointment. "It doesn't look like it does anything." He scowled. "And it's not food, either."
