Room 1

[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.

...oh. taking a look at everyone else, then.*

Re: DISCUSS

[rocketfueledcough]

[Looking at Edward.]

It sounds kind of like a party game.

Re: DISCUSS

[truthandcakes]

A horrible party game, yeah. You got any ideas on yours?

Re: DISCUSS

[rocketfueledcough]

Well....I can pick out a few it WOULDN'T be.

Re: DISCUSS

[truthandcakes]

I'm not entirely sure on mine... I know one person it's not, at least, but the rest...

Re: DISCUSS

[rocketfueledcough]

Think maybe judging their character would help?

Re: DISCUSS

[truthandcakes]

Probably not for mine, but maybe some of them...

Re: DISCUSS

[rocketfueledcough]

A specific one could be tricky.

Re: DISCUSS

[truthandcakes]

*nods*

And if the rest are like the one I heard, it's not the kind of thing people are going to reveal all that easily.

Re: DISCUSS

[rocketfueledcough]

They do seem...personal.

Re: DISCUSS

[truthandcakes]

Yeah.

...I guess I should ask you some questions, too. Since you already know a lot more about me than I do about you.

Re: DISCUSS

[rocketfueledcough]

It might be a good idea. You might have one of mine.

[Please don't have one of mine.]

Re: DISCUSS

[truthandcakes]

Yeah... I guess if you had mine you might already know, though.

*please don't let my bizarro alternate self have told you everything about me*

Re: DISCUSS

[rocketfueledcough]

....for this kind of secret, yeah.

[Not EVERYTHING, but two years gave me a chance to figure out a lot.]

Re: DISCUSS

[truthandcakes]

I guess I should ask you to tell me about what things were like for you before you came here, then. Uh... sorry about this.

Re: DISCUSS

[rocketfueledcough]

...

It's all right. I get that it's strange.

Re: DISCUSS

[truthandcakes]

I'm still sorry, though.

So... tell me about it.

Re: DISCUSS

[rocketfueledcough]

Just things in general? Or home life?

Re: DISCUSS

[truthandcakes]

Ah... let's start with home life.

Re: DISCUSS

[rocketfueledcough]

Well, before here, Edward and I were sharing an apartment above a florist. It wasn't anything special, but it had enough room for us and the occasional guest I've let stay the night.

Re: DISCUSS

[truthandcakes]

Guests?

Ah... what was a usual day like?

Re: DISCUSS

[rocketfueledcough]

[Nods.] I'd invite people over often. He got rather annoyed sometimes. [Strays~]

I'd usually get up first and make breakfast. Sometimes he'd be up pretty quick, others it'd be a chore to get him out. Though the latter was usually when we've been having a problem for a long time.

After that, we'd go meet with the other guys in libraries or a field or anywhere with space so we could work on more rocket designs. Sometimes we could actually work in a real lab, depending how good of an impression we made on some local scholars.

Re: DISCUSS

[truthandcakes]

What kind of problems?

Re: DISCUSS

[rocketfueledcough]

Problems with the design. A hard equation, fuel deficiency, things like that. We were developing a pretty new product, so we were starting pretty much from scratch.

Re: DISCUSS

[truthandcakes]

*that doesn't sound like me you really are from bizarro world*

Ahh... how about other stuff? Besides research things, what was it like?
