Now look, I acted a little stupid last week. But to be perfectly fair, you kids could have been a lot more cooperative. I think we all learned something valuable that day. That you kids should avoid people with bags and that I don't like any kids but my own.

Anyways, we'll be getting new feathers soon. Anyone care to make a gentleman's wager on what the first one will be like? I'm going to go with teenage girl, perky and annoying, and dressed way skimpier than she ought to be. Any takers?

Or why you think it's so interesting.

Yes. Like, what it will take to get out of this place, for example.

[Voice]

[hageshii]

That's a one time wager. New feathers come every month. Might as well gamble on something you can count on happening.

[Voice]

[unseenspy.livejournal.com]

...Right.

You do realize that the New Feathers will be just as diverse as the people who are already here, right? It's impossible to tell what they'll be like.

[Voice]

[hageshii]

That's what makes it so perfect. If I wanted simple, I'd flip a coin.

[unseenspy.livejournal.com]

So you can enjoy being wrong then. That's fine with me.

[Voice]

[hageshii]

Yup.

[monocled.livejournal.com]

I suppose you remind me of someone, that's all.

Have you really been here so long you can predict?

[hageshii]

Only two months. But you kind of notice a pattern when you notice that the majority of the residents are less than half your age.

[Hmph. She can't help the kneejerk reaction for Eiko, but knows full well how experiments can change people.]

As long as that's all it was....

[munchscientist.livejournal.com]

...Do you actually take bets on how new people are going to look like?

[hageshii]

It's something to pass the time.

[munchscientist.livejournal.com]

How about getting a hobby then?

[hageshii]

Maybe this is my hobby.

[munchscientist.livejournal.com]

Gambling is your hobby? Isn't that more of a bad habit.

[hageshii]

That's why it's a gentleman's wager. There's nothing to lose.

[munchscientist.livejournal.com]

Scientifically, your wager won't pay off if you're too specific with the details. If you're more narrower with your choice then you have a better chance at winning.

What if this girl is teenage girl, whose perky and annoying, but doesn't dress 'skimpy'? Then you lose, won't you?

[hageshii]

The only thing to win is respect. What respect is there to win if you go with a broader answer?

[munchscientist.livejournal.com]

...Respect? I'm not following you.

[hageshii]

Bragging rights. The whole thing's meaningless. Science doesn't enter into it.

[Voice]

[hageshii]

That's all it was. Normally I wouldn't want to have anything to do with the little brat.

[Voice]

[stalkingmybro.livejournal.com]

That's a strange perspective you have, then.

[Voice]

[hageshii]

It is when you consider the other shit people got up to.

[Voice]

[stalkingmybro.livejournal.com]

That doesn't make it any better.

[Voice]

[hageshii]

But it does for me. You can file a complaint with the Mallies if it bothers you that much.
