[ well, he's not going to make a scene in front of a stranger.
He does crane his neck, trying to see if there's... anything. ]
Oh, that's rather short. When you said ritual, I was envisioning a whole speech.

I could go longer, but it seems the best prayer for imminent death by falling. Since we likely will shatter into two hundred pieces.

Two hundred...
[ He groans, rubbing his face. ]
If I don't have a heart attack before then. The longer this goes, the more the anticipation is killing me.

Oh, don't worry. At this speed, our death will be instantaneous. You really only have to worry about

Ah. Well. Thank you for that.
Have you slipped straight from denial to acceptance, or are you just exceptionally good at hiding your feelings?

I don't think they did all the effort of bringing us here for entertainment just to let us die by falling down a hole. Do you?
Of course, I could be wrong, but I have little control over the situation regardless. Let's see what happens.

I suppose you have a point.
That said, they could still "kill" us over and over again, without letting us actually die. I imagine it'll still hurt like hell.

I wouldn't call "shattering into a hundred pieces" a "little bit" of pain.

Neither have I, but I have a strong grasp on anatomy. My verdict is, too instantaneous to be painful. Though it is highly possible they will find a way.

For a second I thought you were going to be reassuring.
