Room 4

[testingphase]

[The room, once you've entered it, has a number of ear buds laid out on a table.]

Now, pop those ear buds in and we'll begin the test! Failure to comply will result in desyncing and forcing your team to pay for a replacement body.

Probably not.

Re: Strategy

[winces. now this is a personal question.]

... how did Howard die?

Re: Strategy

[jackoclubs]

[nods at him]

All of Eta?

Re: DISCUSS

[enrichedcenter]

You want to avoid dying, don't you, sweetheart?

Re: Strategy

[sinkingship]

Yeah, I know it's not you.

Re: Strategy

[everfixedmark]

I think we're all very strong and competent people who understand how to work well together without being overly serious or focused on our own unhappiness.

What's he like?

Re: Strategy

[princessespreferpink]

...I've told you a little. My parents are wonderful, my mother is strong and graceful and kind, my father is wise and loving and a little over-protective... They're incredible rulers.

[hesitating because n-no don't want to pry, before asking the next part]

D'you think they're capable?

Re: Strategy

[princessespreferpink]

Re: Strategy

[jackoclubs]

[lightly teasing]

I'd hope so, considering who is on the team.

Re: Strategy

[everfixedmark]

Ah... yes, sort of. I haven't seen her for a little while now but I think about her always and I know she's thinking of me, and sometimes we can send each other messages.

Re: Strategy

[fishpanties]

I know what I need to work on, but I've got some talents.

Re: Strategy

[proto_hero]

... don't think I qualify there.

Re: Strategy

[jackoclubs]

Oi, trouble's not necessarily a bad thing.

Re: Strategy

[princessespreferpink]

What kind of emotional upset?

Re: Strategy

[sinkingship]

Still a burden but probably less irritating than a lot of people I could have gotten stuck with.

Re: DISCUSS

[enrichedcenter]

It's a little embarrassing, at worst.

Re: Strategy

[princessespreferpink]

...Yeah.

Re: Strategy

[everfixedmark]

Oh, good. That helps narrow it down.

[quiet for a bit, hesitating...but...]

My sister was injured and her vision was impaired because of it.

[shrugs]

She got a monocle eyepatch and rocks it.
