Look at you there haha, what are you waiting for? Sitting there, not sure what to look at.. Come on don’t you see? What attracts your attention now?
(From room 0.18A)
RESEARCHER
Jesus you and your hippie attitude..(mimicking:) “oh look at the rainbow here, ohhh a butterfly over there. Let’s just enjoy it and see what happens…”
Grow up bro, it doesn’t fall off the sky you know. You can’t just stand there paralysed and let life happen to you. Start acting, you lazy!
(From room 0.18B)
INNER CRITIC
Guys, guys! Stop fighting, we’ve already been through this. Researcher stop bullying Observer, you’re equally important all right? One doesn’t exist without the other, you need to accept that.
(From room 0.18A)
RESEARCHER
Oh here it comes, the one and only, the god on earth, the omniscient Inner Critic. It’s easy to talk once the work has been done ah? I can’t even call you god actually, that would mean you’ve created something!Pah!

OBSERVER
Hey bros chill out, peace and love, peace and love, we’re family..And what have we learned living together?

RESEARCHER AND INNER CRITIC
It’s not all sunshine and flowers and we need to take an external position to take a look at each other.
(From room 0.18)
OBSERVER
Oh I meant -it’s gonna be alright- but fair enough, fair enough, also fine.
(From room 0.18B)
INNER CRITIC
Well guys, it doesn’t happen everyday to be gathered here all at once. Shall we start the meeting? Everybody knows its position? Who goes first?
(Silence)
I thought we already talked about that.
(From room 0.18)
OBSERVER
Oh sorry sorry, I got distracted by looking at that cloud..I’ll go first as the plan says.
….So stand up, come, come, here, this way, yeah that door right, you can enter. Don’t push, don’t push. Watch your step. There’s space for everybody, you just need to find your own…
