One other point I thought of when answering Natasa's essay, was something that I have noticed both in my own writing (what little there is) and others ... how very *very* difficult it is to imagine most of these people carrying on a simple, non-rebellion-or-survival-or-some-such-plotty-thing conversation. I mean, just think about the nine of them in the various groups that got flung together ... what the *hell* did they all find to talk about with each other when we and Zen-cam weren't there to watch?!?!?

You did _what_ with them?

Yes, I certainly see what you mean. That would be a sight to wake up to each morning.

No, I like my room just the way it is. Thanks.

I'd love to stay and chat, but I just remembered. I . . . er . . . uhm . . . It's my turn to get the old movie player from Vila, and, uh . . . .

Oh, your favorite movie is about a taxidermist? Why am I not surprised - I mean, that's nice.

No, I don't think I'll watch Psycho.
