What kinds of competitions?

[beathach]

Most of them could be called puzzles of some kind. Or we would be given some kind of task we'd have to complete as a team or by ourselves.

Others were . . . less pleasant than that.

[takingkarabusiness]

Oh.

It's just kind of a hard concept to wrap my head around. Having to win back parts of your soul.

[beathach]

[he quirks a smile]

It sounds unbelievable, doesn't it?

[takingkarabusiness]

I'm not saying I don't believe you. It's just really... really difficult to conceptualize.

[beathach]

No, I know what you mean.

[takingkarabusiness]

So, did you remember everything?

[beathach]

Eventually. [he nods] And - I was only there for three months, but it certainly felt a lot longer than that.

[takingkarabusiness]

I've already noticed time.... doing stuff here. It either feels like forever or like it's going really quickly.

[beathach]

That's what it felt like, pretty much. [he huffs out a sigh] It doesn't make sense, but I've stopped trying to make sense of things like that anymore. Otherwise I'll give myself a headache.

[takingkarabusiness]

I understand that.

It must be somewhat disappointing to find yourself here instead of at home.

[beathach]

We had a month? [look at that optimism]

But . . . mm, it was disappointing. [he makes a face] I'm starting to wonder if Charles and Erik are some sort of - magnet for this, and somehow I was pulled in with it. This is their third time.

[takingkarabusiness]

Third? Really? Lucky you, huh...

[beathach]

Let's hope I don't hit my third time any time soon - or at all, for that matter.

[takingkarabusiness]

Same for me. That's something I don't plan on playing catch up with.

[beathach]

Mm, yeah. I hope no one does.

[takingkarabusiness]

While we're here though... we can make it as fun as possible.

[beathach]

[lightly]

You mean hiding in my lab isn't fun?

[takingkarabusiness]

I'm sure we could find ways to make it fun?

...By doing science, I mean.

[beathach]

I'm pretty sure if I genuinely tried to hide in here, it'd last all of a day before I was dragged out.

[takingkarabusiness]

I'd give it 3 hours.

[beathach]

Three hours? Really?

[takingkarabusiness]

How long did it take me?

[beathach]

. . . alright, you have a point.

[takingkarabusiness]

You can always kick me out if you really want alone time, though.
