Hedi: Hey so, I have more questions about the void.

Iris: (Ambivalent) Ah, inquisitive as always

Hedi: What was it like, when your world broke away from everything else?

Iris: Well, it didn't happen only once. Each moment of fragmentation was unique.

Iris: Sometimes you'd notice, something would shift and you'd realise that the world you now occupy isn't the world you knew.

Iris: Sometimes it would be subtle. Alarmingly so - millions or even billions of beings could fall away into a fragment world, and you wouldn't even notice.

Hedi: But when most of your house vanished and was replaced by a blue void, you noticed, right?

Hedi: What were you doing when it happened?

Iris: However much I may laud your intellectual curiosity, let's not forget where it led during our last supervision

Hedi: I was just asking about the infrastructure over there. It's not my fault you literally dug a massive hole under your floor.

Iris: There is no my fault or your fault. We are entangled beings, each responsible for our own exploits but never wholly acting alone

Hedi: Sure. So, what did you do about that hole?

Iris: Oh I covered it with this fantastic rug I got from Marrakesh just after the Great War

Cue: We hear a rumble and a tumble

Hedi: What's that sound?

Iris: As it transpires, I've had my music playing this whole time, I hadn't noticed any sounds.

Iris: But now that you mention it, I think I might perceive a certain...

Cue: We hear a loud squelching.

Hedi: You don't think that might be the underground layer of jelly coming apart?

Hedi: Or the massive void in your wall?

Hedi: That fancy-looking home of yours has some serious structural issues

AUDIENCE_CHOICES: Figure out what's wrong with Iris's home

Note: The pace of audience options displaying and dialogue being delivered might not work the way I want it to here. Pay attention to this in rehearsal - does the audience have enough time to respond?

Hedi: Ask Iris to look in the hole

Hedi: Open a terminal window
