[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.

You... have people here too? I see...

[threateningflour]

I see. Do you have any close friends?

[thebiggestloser]

「I don't recall saying it was, though it probably is.」

「Say, Coulson-san, in your position as a secret agent man, are you often faced with difficult decisions?」

[loyal_tothecore]

Oh, it's a real secret all right. Something a normal person might die rather than reveal! But I don't think you're my guy.

It's fine! It's fine!

[wawko]

That makes sense. So the chances of you running into someone here that you've already met are pretty low? Unless they somehow came with you, I guess...

[thirtysteps]

And they're your friends.

Re: DISCUSS

[halfcrocked]

Get captured often?

[wawko]

That would be one way to keep it a secret!

—Wait, you aren't going to beat me up now, are you?

[threateningflour]

And who's that?

[loyal_tothecore]

So you express your fandom openly, huh? Dress up, go to cons, that sort of stuff?

Re: DISCUSS

[universalboy]

Well then, that's pretty awesome!

[threateningflour]

That tends to be why it's kept secret.

Re: DISCUSS

[loyal_tothecore]

The government does that.

[detonatsun]

Why?

[threateningflour]

There are people here I know from before.

Re: DISCUSS

[halfcrocked]

An idiot...

What does a ninja... do?

Re: DISCUSS

[burnbladeyburn]

A clan of warriors from 400 years past. They fought secretly from the sidelines, mastering every weapon that was available to them. Unsung warriors who never fought for glory or prestige. That's what ninjas are.

Re: DISCUSS

[loyal_tothecore]

Mostly because I don't want to tell anyone.

[shrugs]

If people hated them, they couldn't do their jobs.

[wawko]

[actually, they're her boyfriends, but she figures that might not go over so well with someone from a place that seems to be so long ago in the past]

Yes. They're two of my dearest people.

Re: DISCUSS

[burnbladeyburn]

Only by my own free will.

[threateningflour]

Curiosity. It's tough working for the government.

[halfcrocked]

...Thanks. Kind of a given, but thanks.
