Who: Anyone!
Where: The fields
When: Day 12, afternoon
What:

*there's some short kid with a metal arm poking slowly through the fields, carefully studying a funky-looking potato. he's got a few other plants collected nearby, as well.*

Wonder what the easiest way to figure out which ones are safe is...

[ DOES NOT SEEM PUT OFF NEITHER THE LESS. ]

Even so, if it exists, why can't we use it ourselves?

They're not going to let us have that kind of power. We're kept weaker than they are.

Then doesn't that prove that they regard us as people to be kept control of, and using our memories as bait?

They could get us into games without the memories. Either way, there's no escape from here.

Has mister tried?

If you have an idea of how to BEGIN trying, I'd like to hear it.

Why not pit our captors against each other somehow?

We'd still be stuck in a cave on an unknown world.

That's a little closed minded... if they're so interested in playing games, wouldn't they want to use us if they're also butting heads with one another? But we still have a degree of free will, so we could just refuse to fight for them unless they give in to our own demands.

That'd work if we weren't completely and totally expendable.

... Mister, you have a really bleak outlook.

I know.

There's something you have to be happy about, right?

I like my teammates. That's about it.

Your teammates?

There's teams that people are sorted onto for games and that they live with. You'll get put on one eventually.

So... you regard them like a family?

They're pack.

Isn't that the word for a dog's family? nless you're saying it's because you're not related... but you're human, it's something like tribe or clan... or team, right?

It's a wolf's family.

... Mister, you know you're not a wolf, right?

I know.

[ZERO SENSE OF OBLIGATION TO EXPLAIN]

Still want to see how to make fire?

Yes, please.

[ That's okay, he won't follow up with questions about it. ]
