hiiii everyone! you can call me dazai.

since we're all supposed to work together and get to know each other, i thought it would be fun to play a little icebreaker game that's popular on my earth ♥

it's called would you rather! the rules are pretty simple:

✦ post a hypothetical between two difficult choices
✦ have others choose between them, and offer their own hypotheticals in return
✦ go back and forth until you don't feel like playing anymore

noooormally, it'd be cheating to say something like both, or neither, but if you can come up with a really interesting alternative, i'll allow it~

feel free to respond to each other, as well! can't just let me go having all the fun, after all.

here's a few to get us started:

1) would you rather hurt someone to protect yourself, or get hurt protecting someone else?
2) would you rather be unable to have your favorite meal again, or be unable to get drunk again?
3) would you rather betray your boss or abandon your best friend?


[wdym these are weird questions, he's so normal. it's just a gaaaaame and definitely not a covert means of information gathering or anything. come on and play :)]

[ One moment she's there, in her apartment, and the next...back on Gaia. With no memories of the city, the other world, where she'd been for months, fighting to save the planet she'd been unceremoniously returned to. And then...after so much on the home front, she'd found herself right back in Etraya: her memories of the time before in tact, as well as the memories of the things she'd been through in the interim. The things Cloud had already known about, but kept from her.

After she reappears and processes all the memories, she has to recuperate a bit. Without anyone around, the usually-cheery Aerith doesn't have to mask her expression, and sits in her apartment, letting it all break over her like unceasing waves onto someone whose feet are thoroughly stuck in the sand. (It's not unlike when her plushie was destroyed, honestly, which feels like ages ago.) When that's...more or less done, she reaches for her phone.

She doesn't leave the unit, doesn't go down the hall. Yet.

In crafting a message to the network, she opts for text because, this time, she doesn't trust herself to keep a straight enough face. To keep all of what's happened - disappearing from this world, returning to her own with no memories of Etraya, and...the weight of their journey at home - from her voice. So, she takes a deep breath and begins typing, eventually sending out: ]


long time no see, etraya! or, maybe it hasn't been that long, considering all of the plant life at my place is still in good shape.

so...has anybody been back home? that is: was brought here, then went back somehow with no memories of ever having been here, then got pulled back again? consider me curious about the details.

i know i can't be the only one. right?

also...if there're any kind souls out there who don't mind giving me a little refresher on our current mission, it'd be much appreciated. thanks!

(Network Two. | 1st Earpiece Non-Accessible/Non-Hackable From.

Player plot, Stage 2. We're coming to you soon, Etraya! Reminder to anyone contacted in Stage 1: you are encouraged to be domino-ing out to those characters you think need to focus on getting the necessary hardware in the upcoming month[s]. Barbara Oracle will do another round, likely at the end of the month, too, once tests pan out positively. As a tiny prep hint: this ride will cost 10 activity points, so start planning now! <3 )





[ Barbara drums her fingers on the edge of a desk. The one in the cave, to be exact. It's not the best. It's still actively and annoyingly subpar, and it's not where she wants it to be—but it will work for now. They don't have time to wait for her to be pleased with the supplies at hand or the perfect code for the second network.

Oracle's voice is modulated entirely when it comes. ]


Report in when you get to your furthest vector.

[ Tim has gotten his hands on a second earpiece, and he wants everyone to know. ]

I think everyone’s life needs more and less confusion. If you know me, I can be reached here. If you don’t, I can still be reached here, but I’m going to ask why.

I’m not that Robin, so don’t cross the streams. I’m the one who wears more color.

Hello, citizens of Etraya.

My apologies to those who arrived earlier than anticipated. We understand how stressful arriving in an uninhabited new world can be, and understand your frustration at the lack of resources that should have been available. We believe we have finished construction on quite a few more facilities that you may find comforting. We hope this helps with any stress this may have caused.

As compensation for your patience, and your willingness to play along with our bonding activities, we have rewarded every new arrival who completed their bingo sheets with five points available for immediate use.

As explained during your arrival, you have been chosen to represent your universe. While I understand this may feel heavy, rest assured that you were chosen for a reason.

Your first mission will be a team exercise, and will begin in five days.

You may choose a companion now, or I will assign you one once the mission begins. You may want to keep in mind that you will be asked to trust your partner with your greatest weakness. Should I find any pairs unsuitable, I will select someone else for you. You may have more than one partner assigned to you throughout the exercise.

If you have any questions, please ask them now.

Thank you,
Aurora
