No. Our wonderful captors that hold us here in Luceti or at least within the barrier run experiments now and again. They're called "Shifts." Big ones are about every other month, and small ones maybe once a month or so.

Sometimes they're fun. One Halloween everyone was stuck in costume. Another time everyone turned into the thing they wanted most. So one kid turned into a cake, another guy into an airship, people would wind up as their spouse, that sort of thing. And another time they made this amazing amusement park, though that was to make up for a glitch they had with something else.
