If money has no meaning here, then what do people do with themselves? Adventure for the sport of it? Build things only to watch them gather dust?

I prefer problems that bite back or explode in my hands, but it seems difficult to call that work in a place where every need is already seen to.

So. What passes for an occupation here—when merit and coin are both irrelevant?

Excellent. Every mad experiment requires a witness, preferably one with a sense of timing.

If I happen to splatter against the wall, you may alert your mysterious backup and claim you tried to stop me. Until then, consider yourself drafted into the role of official spotter. Payment will be in the form of entertainment, nothing more.

percy sir

I'll attempt to refrain from going, "What the hell" until you're safely down again. Where is this demonstration going to happen?
