Opinions without 3.1415 are just Onions (Week1 post trial)

[ghostricked]

After everything, the house seems almost too still and too mundane. At least as long as the doors to that room remain closed. One by one those covered in what was once their teammate are lead to the showers or change in silence. There is no warm meal waiting for them. No words of encouragement.

Life goes on, regardless.

Alright, I can give that a try. I have never played it before, but it doesn't sound that hard.

[Emil shrugs, tea in hand. So that's a party game...huh!]

[kaliedoscopes]

It's not, but I'll start to show you how it's done.

One: My favorite food is washoku, Japanese food.
Two: I've been shot before.
Three: I'm an only child.

[ With that said, Hikage tilts his cup towards Emil, cheers. ]

[impyroverished]

[Cheers!

Everything sounds plausible. What the hell is a wash-your-ku, Emil wonders internally. Japanese food of some sort, apparently. Hm. It'd be easy to lie about what your favorite food is. Being shot before can be possible depending on the circumstances, but you'd have to put yourself in the line of danger. Being an only child...it could be true. Mature, calm people like this one tend to be the older ones. Looks like he won't find this one out by reasoning]

Have you really been shot before?

[Yeah, he's going for that one as the lie]

[kaliedoscopes]

I have. Several times actually, as tends to happen you're leading a pack of idiots. [ It's not said too harshly but still. ]

The lie is that I'm an only child.

[impyroverished]

I should have known. You have the personality of an older sibling.

[Not that he has many references to compare to, that's just his impression of how older siblings are supposed to be like]

Why are you getting shot? What kind of things do you usually do?

[kaliedoscopes]

...I do? [ He sounds really thrown off by this for some reason, and it lingers on his expression until he shakes his head. ]

It's not like what you're thinking, it was friendly fire. Good aim is a learned skill. [ Oh so dryly. ]

[impyroverished]

You haven't noticed? You barely lose your calm, except when someone around you does something that's inconvenient for you.

[Like, you know, accidentally dropping makeup near your fancy cape]

...sorry to hear that. I know how that one feels.

[kaliedoscopes]

I would call a lot of things inconvenient for me, but thanks I guess. [ Mulling that over for a second or two. ]

Oh? Did you have over excitable teammates too?

[impyroverished]

You could say that. My captain was excitable, but I trusted her with my life. She knew what she was doing.

[Sigrun Eide is a competent team leader, most of the time. In contrast...]

Our medic is calm and doesn't get rattled by anything, but he's the one causing friendly fire.

[It hurt.]

[kaliedoscopes]

...is he partially blind or something? [ That's blunt as all hell but he does not understand how those two go together. ]

[impyroverished]

...he does keep his eyes closed very often...maybe he really needs glasses.

[Emil, that's called character design, geez]

[kaliedoscopes]

[ ........................... ]

It's a miracle you're alive.
