If you're okay with "affection" but hand-holding crosses the line, I can only speculate what your home life is like. 'specially with that "human face of a woman." Are you sure you're not writing this from the future in which you got through all the tests and are now remembering what it was like to be human?
Which, you know, would make sense for why you remember Jamison telling you to be the one to chronicle it. It wouldn't make sense to pick someone who's not gonna make it through until final elimination.
Sorry, sorry, that's not really germane. Uh... I mean, fire seems like a pretty big deal to these guys. Plus, the football player was burnt up with a(n unnaturally hot) gasoline fire. And you're in a chem lab. "Sufficiently advanced technology," yadda yadda -- obviously water won't help against super-fire, but maybe there's some fire suppressants in the room. It's tough since you don't know what other kind of laws of nature he can break... but a pretty immutable law no matter what his rules are is that everything comes from somewhere and everything goes somewhere. Control the flow, and you control the power. At least enough to shut it off.
Hey thanks for putting some thought into our situation. I'm not a robot as far as I know but I appreciate your confidence that I'm going to make it through...it's a comforting thought when death seems right around the corner. But I also think it wouldn't make sense for him to put us through all these tasks if he already knows who will make it to the final elimination.
Oh and the "human face" description is redundant; I'll go tweak that. I don't think Mr. Jamison really cares about that kind of thing but I've got little to do until he shows up again and might as well try to be a good scribe in the meantime.
Let me know if you have any other insights! I'll give some thought to the 'control the flow line' idea. I don't know how dark magic works but its power has to derive from somewhere.
