Room 2

[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. I wouldn't mind singing with other people or performing in a band, it's just I don't really know anyone who would be up for it.

[thebiggestloser]

「I see. No further questions?」

[loyal_tothecore]

You asked!

[bitofadick]

More like a handful of close ones. I'm an honors student, so I don't have a lot of time for social stuff...

[threateningflour]

That's good.

[wawko]

It helped to reinforce the seal...and the barrier that was meant to contain us.

[i am so sorry that her default reaction for that is to try and silence you with a punch to the gut.]

「While I appreciate it, there's no real need to thank me.」

「Admitting or succumbing to your own passions has nothing to do with me, in the end! Or at least, I'd hope you wouldn't think of me when you're doing such things.」

Re: DISCUSS

[detonatsun]

Forget it.

Have you ever be exposed to anything? Like a virus?

[bitofadick]

Yeah. It is.

[thirtysteps]

As with most things, don't you think?

[wawko]

Not at the moment. Do you have any for me?

[bracing herself]

[threateningflour]

Possibly. Have you ever had to lie to a close friend?

[loyal_tothecore]

Nah. If I did I'd be bossin' 'em around.

[wawko]

School took up most of your time? But a handful of close ones are just as good as a lot of friends.

Re: DISCUSS

[loyal_tothecore]

Huh? Well, I guess you could say I've been exposed to just about every medical mess anybody could possibly imagine, but I myself am healthy as a horse!

[bitofadick]

[PRETTY UPSET RIGHT NOW]

[bitofadick]

By all means.

[bitofadick]

Have you asked?

[threateningflour]

[God damn new body = slower reaction time = ow that. hurt.]

[with a grunt, after a moment] I'll take that as a yes.

[thirtysteps]

It's called Saiunkoku. It seems, so far, that no one has heard of it at all.

「It's inconvenient and unpleasant, obviously, but it's got its share of amusements.」

「Would it be alright to ask you the same question?」

[threateningflour]

I've encountered biological weapons but I wasn't infected.

[wawko]

Were you in charge of an organization or something? —Oh, I guess you probably wouldn't want to answer that...

[threateningflour]

Yes.

I see you work for the government as well.
