Hmm... nothing is immediately coming to mind, other than "getting to go home". But we should all be getting that at the end of this anyway.

[discomfort]

It would have to be something that we can reward ourselves.

[uncoincidental]

...maybe the winner gets a portion of all of the losers' earnings from their work here! Assuming this shady company actually bothers to pay us.

[discomfort]

Oh, that would be fun.

... assuming we get paid, yes.

[uncoincidental]

...what do you think the chances of them actually paying us are?

[discomfort]

Slim to none.

[uncoincidental]

We'll have to come up with a different prize then...

[discomfort]

I guess we can think of something very simple. Maybe a favor.

[uncoincidental]

That could work... it might take a while for all of us to do favors for whoever wins before we all go home, but...

[discomfort]

We can manage. And it is at least simple enough that people may not mind losing.

[uncoincidental]

As long as they aren't unsually competitive, anyway...

[discomfort]

Oh.

They might be.

[uncoincidental]

...true. People like that are usually a little more interesting, though, so I guess that's okay.

[discomfort]

Are you competitive?

[uncoincidental]

Hee hee... sometimes.

[discomfort]

That's what someone who is always competitive would say.

[uncoincidental]

[she laughs]

It really is only sometimes! What about you, though?

[discomfort]

Perhaps as a joke? If it seems like it would be fun to act like it at the time, but not really in actuality.

[uncoincidental]

It is sometimes fun to wind up competitive people by pretending to be as competitive as they are...

[discomfort]

Aha, exactly. You can watch their reactions without your own getting in the way.

[uncoincidental]

Hee hee! You really get it.
