| Cut back to the Light Warriors. Fighter and Thief are carrying the wounded Red Mage. | |
| Black Mage | Y'know, this is really pathetic. |
| Fighter | What is? |
| Black Mage | We just started our big important quest thing and we couldn't even get past the first encounter! |
| Thief | We didn't lose. Technically. |
| Black Mage | We didn't exactly win either. Captain Moron over here nearly got slain. |
| Red Mage | I'm not dead yet... |
| Black Mage | Don't tempt me. |
| Fighter | Well, it was a good experience for us as a group anyway. |
| Red Mage | Actually, since we don't get experience unless we defeat the monsters, it was a complete waste of our time. |
| Thief | What're you talking about? Regardless of whether or not the monsters were killed, we had an experience. You can't deny that. |
| Red Mage | It's the law of our universe as chronicled in the player's handbook which was first scribed by-- |
| Thief | Look, I don't care what your books say...
All I know is that we, as temporal beings, exist in time. Our reality is the space of experience measured in time. Since the encounter did not happen outside of time-- as evidenced by the fact that we were capable of sensing it--it was experienced by us. |
| Red Mage | I think we're operating under different meanings of 'experience'. |
| Fighter | I think I'm bored out of my mind. |
| Black Mage | I think you'd first need a mind to be bored out of. |
| Fighter | Good point. |
