We entered the indoors hot spring which was so crowded I could barely get into any of the pools. I thought about going outside as I pushed the door open on the far side from the changing room and showers and found myself in a separate room. There was a long dinner table as well as several small pods that lined the perimeter.

I sat down on a plush rocking chair which would go too far whenever I leaned back as if I was going to fall over. I leaned forwards to tighten some zip tie-like mechanism to fix this apparent problem. I nervously explained what I was doing to someone who was sitting across from me.

I could see someone in the building on the other side of the street through the lobbies which seemed to resemble the departure drop-off area in airports. Someone was talking about rewarding support players in a game through a quest mechanic. “Do we want celebration or tons of loss?” he asked rhetorically.
