Room 2

[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.

NO, I'm suspicious because that's a good way to stay alive.

Nothing!

Have faith in yourselves and in the process of elimination!

[wawko]

But you're still important, right? I mean, you're working for your king in the government, so it isn't like anyone could just do the job.

Re: DISCUSS

[thirtysteps]

it's still more than the little you've given us. Eh-chan.

Re: DISCUSS

[detonatsun]

Right, because their job is to search for dangerous people.

Escape tricks, stuff like that.

[thirtysteps]

Well, of course - but all government officials must undergo the same rigorous testing. Some do better than others, and that helps guide their potential placements.

[wawko]

It sounds like an exciting life, although really dangerous, too.

[halfcrocked]

Then what is this about?

[bitofadick]

Not exactly. I actually...

[runs his hand through his hair]

Sorry. Hate doing the sob story thing. I lost my parents, and someone was kind enough to take me in.

Re: DISCUSS

[universalboy]

Fair enough. Does the work you do require you to go out on dangerous missions and stuff?

... there sure are a lot of government employees here, actually...

[threateningflour]

All the time.

[bitofadick]

I'd put it at a 7.5 on the majesty scale.

[not_so_fast]

Wow, seventeen's pretty young for something like that.

[loyal_tothecore]

Trust me, most roboticists aren't.

Has anybody tried the whole, "this statement is false" routine yet?

[thirtysteps]

It could be a pattern in the Robot GLaDOS's methods...

[ thing to think about, Kouyuu! ]

I do quite a bit of desk work, yes, which I don't mind at all.

[threateningflour]

... That's some dedication.

[universalboy]

So it's a pretty okay job? No ridiculous overtime?

[thirtysteps]

I suppose it is, but it was the right path for me.

[wawko]

You don't have to apologize! I'm sorry if I brought up something that made you uncomfortable. I'm glad to hear that you have someone now.

...So, uh, do you have a lot of friends in your high school?

[threateningflour]

Wally told me some things. I was wondering if you're a part of it too.

[universalboy]

It was worth it. I'm sure you've done some really stupid things before, right? I mean, ones that you didn't regret.

[bitofadick]

What's your style? Pop, classical, wanna start your own band...
