PARAPHRASED ANSWERS:

Injuries are cleaned during the cleansing with the magic water spray, and the injuries are patched over enough to let proper healing happen at a more natural pace.

Do not worry about your pets, they're not going to die of neglect; the ones captured with us are in comfortable containment not unlike pokeballs, the ones back at the carnival are being cared for by [Handwaving that RM previously set up], like maybe the cindersprites or the Summer Maiden. Unspecified, irrelevant, they're good

All belongings (that weren't hidden in hammerspace before getting caught) have been confiscated, and the Technicians aren't commenting on the confiscated belongings to give clues as to what they find interesting. It's all just silently taken.

The technicians aren't conversational buddies at all. They stare, ask the questions on their scripts, and don't ask elaborations or share commentary.

The numbers aren't individual! The 7-- means test group, and individual numbers will be constantly changing so that characters can't even connect an identity to them.


With the general labor, characters are told to do labor to meet their productivity goals.

They're not given instructions about how best to do it, and can go about doing it however they want.

If characters work in a group, it's still not the group getting credit - they have to split up the credit at the end, one way or another.

Anyone caught stealing to improve their own numbers will be In Trouble, so maybe don't do that - or at least don't get caught.

Struggling for approval and success is good! They like that! That's what they want!

Also, they want to experiment on people. Like mentioned over here, there's a lot of work, but the scoring for it is set up so there aren't enough point sources for everyone to get enough points to stay comfortable afloat.

Even someone really skilled and effective working at full tilt might not make the Eta goals, so if you've slipped to that designation, agreeing to trials is about the only way to stay afloat, let alone get 'promotions'.
