The ball's laughter starts to die down, and then ends with a sigh, appearing not to have noticed your banter just moments ago, and still speaking in its fast cheerful tone, "So, what brings you all down here? You don't look like you are part of rat's group."

"I work here." Replied the orb proudly.

How's the pay? Got a good chance of promotion?
Chauser's resume was liked by the last dungeon he applied to, but the interview didn't go so well.

"Well...it is not so much a currency transaction for me...more of a debt getting repaid and then being reinstated." The orb pauses a moment and then in a slightly hushed tone, "I swear I only ate one, I know I should have asked, but they smelled soooo good...Now they got me down here for a millennia of service." His tone shifts abruptly to loud and angry, and he rushes to the ceiling, "For which I think I have served!"

Descending from the ceiling, the orb seems to have calmed down, "I lost count after the first two hundred years...but I swear I have been down here long enough. They are just trying to get free labor out of me I bet..."

"Wait, if you've been here a thousand-ish years, then what the hell is keeping us in here? I don't know of any race with Human intelligence that can live long enough to enslave an...orb... for that long and still be around to force us into this mess... Well, except maybe a Dragon, but those are too busy fighting off the adventurers that always try to steal their hoard."

Probably a union put-up. You know how it is, keeping a hardworking individual down so they can create a pay hike.

"I haven't been here that long. This place was here before I was even born...and I am not enslaved, thank you very much...It was just this or permanent banishment." The orb seems to sigh (though it is rather hard to tell, as you know...it is an orb) and then replies to Chauser, "I don't know, I just hope it ends soon."

"So, how may other people do you see down here? It seems dere's an ogre who lives here. Do you see any 'visitors' ever?
Have you seen anyone down here with glowing beads like dese?"
Terek shows the orb his string of glowing beads. He also takes time to note if any more have burnt out since he last checked.

"Oh I see all kinds of activity down here! Heck, recently I saw a war break out. It passed the time quite well." The orb rushes up to the beads to give them a better look, "I can't say I have seen anything like that before, are they friend of yours?" 35 beads are still glowing on the strand.

Well, as far as I know none of the glowing orbs I'm wearing are sapient... I suppose they could just be quiet. Chauser stares intently at the closest glowing bead Hey you. Yeah, you. Are you willing to talk, or are you just going to sit around doing nothing?
Hey, I'm talking to you. Don't give me the silent treatment...
Well, either they aren't sentient, or they aren't polite. Either way, I'm not talking to them.

"That's too bad; people should always have lots of friends...though I guess I don't follow that thought either. I'm not supposed to make friend down here, they said bad things might happen if I do." The orb moves away from Terek, to look at the rest of the group, giving Chauser a longer look than the others.

Noticing your hesitation the orb seems to try and reassure you, "Oh don't worry, they said I could talk to anyone I want. Under no circumstances was I to open or give anything to anyone, though."
