Alright, here goes! I wasn't taking notes on what she said or anything, but I have an excellent memory, so there shouldn't be any holes.
[If he has an excellent memory, why does he go around calling Esikko "Prince Esikko Blum Whatever" instead of his actual name? Oh well, doesn't matter, not important right now!]
For my first question, I asked if she ever got a better sense of what the resort takes from us and why some guests are considered more valuable. I said there was a theory going around that our intimacy is what powers the resort, but she said it's not just that. She said, "What the resort takes from us is our fate. There are those who are meant to play a greater role in life, and they offer more for the resort to sustain itself on." Then she asked me to consider the difference between an emperor who commands a powerful nation, and a servant who's destined to die young.
I couldn't really tell if she was saying the "emperor" is more valuable because he's fated to accomplish more in life, or what. But when I asked her to elaborate, she said her theory is that "playing the game changes our fate" by making us "have such an intimate encounter with someone we never would've met before coming here." I'll hold back my thoughts on that and move onto the next question!
For my second question, I asked what happens to guests who don't provide enough energy, and if there's any truth to the rumor that the ones who don't sleep around much turn to stone. She said "some people do indeed turn to stone." But then she said "whether it happens to every guest, I don't know" and "it didn't happen to me even after I lost my usefulness because of a deal I made."
Then for my third question, I asked why she was still here if the resort supposedly lets everyone go home once they've filled their so-called deck. She said that she did win her game and that she could have used her wish to go home, but she used it to save her daughter's life instead. Her daughter was born with a heart defect. Apparently you only get one wish and if you use it to save someone else, you're just stuck here forever, so that's what her deal is.
Those were the only questions I got to ask. She gave me three questions for three memories: an equal exchange. I told her I'd come back with double the memories if she let me ask three more questions, but she didn't seem interested, so that's it for now.
