we're playing two truths and a lie. if you've never played, it's a game where you say three things: two that are true, one that isn't, and everyone tries to guess which one's the lie.

if you wanna go hard mode, do it with the camera on.

[ the "camera" comes on a moment later to Reno's grinning face. ]

I'll go first!

One: I've got a license for just about anything that flies, and I'm a certified flight instructor.
Two: I've had the same job since I was twenty-two.
Three: I don't have a favorite color.

[ His poker face is immaculate; there are no tells, just his smirk and his unflinching eye contact with the camera. Good luck with your guess. ]


( this is an open post, so feel free to threadjack and play this silly game amongst yourselves. i only provide drunken party entertainment here apparently. )

You never said I couldn't, but—

_{[ Is it time for the gigglesnorts again? You. Betcha. ]}

Banora White? Gods, I think I'd take the knockoff over the actual name seeing as every single one I've tried over the last year has tasted like plastic.

_{[ Okay, okay. Serious face. Serious face, Roche. Touchies are on the line here, remember? ]}

...You don't look like much of a Seven if I'm completely honest with you. If you're Midgar born and raised I think I'd peg you as a Four or a Six, but Seven always felt a little too... What's the word, cozy? Even down in the slums.

[ god dammit, it's hard to keep a straight face when he snorts like that. the corner of his mouth twitches, but he resists. ]

Cozy? The fuck Sector 7 are you talking about? It was cutthroat down there when I was a kid. Those people wouldn't piss on you if you were on fire. Maybe it cleaned up its image after I cleared out; don't know and don't care. It's long-gone now.

[ y'know, thanks to avalanche. haha. yeah. they did it. ]

So, what, is that your guess? Three?

[redlines]

A shame, truly. I never did get to try those skewers they were so fond of.

_{[ He puts on a show of thinking, tapping his chin and everything. Then a nod. ]}

But yes, three.

[electroburst]

—God fucking dammit. Why couldn't you just go with the answer for idiots? What bonehead of a SOLDIER doesn't want to talk about stupid shit like swallowing a materia? You're a big pain in the ass, you know that?

[ someone's butthurt they don't get their free ride :J ]

Nobody wins, bet's off.

[redlines]

Who says I don't? C'mon, Red.

_{[ That brow waggle he's doing right now? That can't be a good sign. ]}

Three out of four. Final round. After that you're going to tell me all about that little incident because I need to know what possesses someone to swallow something made out of mako like that.

[electroburst]

[ if he could smack him through the wave charm, he wouldn't because he doesn't want to break his hand on his thick skull, but he'd seriously be tempted. ]

Yeah, and why don't I just tell you my entire life story while I'm at it? This is getting a little too share-y-care-y for my tastes.

[redlines]

_{[ do it anyway, it'd be funny. ]}

What'll make it even?

_{[ don't make him go with easy ones he has too many :( ]}

[electroburst]

[ time to get nasty again. ]

Sudden death round. One statement, and you guess whether it's true or fake. We flip a coin on who goes. If you're wrong, the other person auto-wins.

[redlines]

<sub>[ It's risky.

Godsdamned is it risky and the worst thing is this guy is picking at Roche's weak spots like a starving animal with that one. He knows it's bait and he still gives it a curious gnaw. ]</sub>

Something innocuous, I take it?

_{[ For their sakes and those of prying ears and eyes, of course. ]}

[electroburst]

Whatever you want. Whatever you think's gonna win you the game.

[ He has some of the local coinage, but he opts for a gil instead, taking it from his pocket and moving it effortlessly between two fingers along his hand. ]

You in? Then call it. Heads goes first.

_{[ Bait. Bait. Bait. ]}

Tails.
