[ You land in a grey, iron room with no doors. The air is stuffy and chokingly stale. One wall is...

Well, not a wall. It's a one-way mirror, and through it you can see another set of teams.

Let's see how you do without her protection - Let's play survival of the fittest!~

except for the fact that it just makes hakon's blood stir, for some reason. maybe it's because it's the violence inherent in torture, but it's almost fascinating. he just watches for a moment before shaking his head. ]

So every time someone gets hurt, they lose focus. I see.

[unrestrained]

Uh. Usually. I mean, you would too if you suddenly had something ripped off.

[zeitnot]

Not blaming the chick who had her cuticles ripped out, obviously. But her teammates all stopped thinking about the puzzle to check in on her, except for maybe the short blond one.

[unrestrained]

That is a pretty reasonable response? I mean. I'd go check on her if this stupid thing wasn't there.

[zeitnot]

Yeah, but this also means the pain will be a distraction and might break their thought momentum.

We might need to pick and choose who we press the button on.

[unrestrained]

No. If we press the button then it's unfair if we choose who and why. All of them's going to be in trouble.

[zeitnot]

I don't disagree. I vote that we just keep track of their stress levels and psychological states. If jamming the button every time breaks the ones who are trying to think rationally, then we might as well all be dead.
