[ Hello, Echidna!

You are in grave peril! Well, no, you're not, but it will definitely seem like it at first.

You're in a cage with a single control panel on a door, being held aloft high in the sky, by a creature who is just so happy to be here. This kitty-bird is enjoying the high life. You might even hear purring.

But still, you're being held in a cage in the sky and you can't see the ground. Yikes! It's scary!

That said, on the panel in front of you is a selection. Ten different teams, with (0/1 CHOSEN) written in dark green text below. ]

[She just snickers into her hand. Look, this is a stressful situation, let her have this.]

[survivaltricks]

[HE IS LETTING HER HAVE IT, BUT LIKE. NOT HAPPILY]

What do you want?

[warpweft]

Uh.

Our choice in this game is a guess and we kind of think that sucks, can we have some information, preferably for free?

[survivaltricks]

Is anything in life free?

[he says with a snort]

. . . but I can do that, for a small price. Something way cheaper than last time.

[warpweft]

[She lets out a relieved breath. She then wrinkles her nose a bit, but she does genuinely appear relieved.]

Oh goody. I'll only get three years younger this time?

[survivaltricks]

Hey, some people would kill for eternal youth, right?

[HE KIDS]

But no, even that price is too steep. Something obnoxious. A minor inconvenience. What's the most annoying thing you can think of?

[warpweft]

[Immediately:] Not being able to read.

...

Oh, god, no.

[survivaltricks]

Oh god, yes.

[warpweft]

Fran!

I have so many books checked out of the library!

[survivaltricks]

Hey, it's just a week. They aren't due back for like, what. . . three weeks, or something? I don't know how libraries work.

[warpweft]

[Whine.]

I'm gonna fall soooooo far behiiiiiind!

[survivaltricks]

But you'll catch up later, so it'll all even out.

[warpweft]

Ehhhhh!

[She reaches a hand out and waps his shoulder. It is like being hit by a marshmallow.]

Fine I'll do it.

[survivaltricks]

[lightly whaps at her hand in return. hey!!]

All right.

You can do this for each round, by the way. The price will be the same: a different inconvenience for each instance of information.

[warpweft]

Huuuh.

Let me talk to the others and figure out how many times we want to do this.

[survivaltricks]

Democracy. . .
