001 (text, then video)

[electroburst]

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. )

[ew]

not everyone is worth of the effort.

besides, I believe you'd do better not to associate the drunkard who's being accused of 'womanizing'. I wouldn't be surprised if this piece of trash had a palace.

[foundheart]

Well...[Yeah, she supposes that's true enough.] I was sort of looking forward to what you'd do. [But then again if Akechi did Turn On The Charm (tm), Sumi would probably have a heart attack and/or (nervous) laugh herself silly, so.]

Do you think so?

[murderingjustice]

[Well, (un)fortunately the charm really wouldn't work on someone like Dazai. Not after all the animosity between them.]

I'm positive.

[nullificates]

ah, kiddo, what's a palace?

[foundheart]

[oh. Uhhh. She panics a little, staring at the question. Should she ignore it? She could just ignore it, right?

NEW PHONE WHO DIS??]

It's just something from back home! It's like, slang? It just means something kind of mean, that's all...

[SWEATS NERVOUSLY]

[nullificates]

i'm not mean at all! ah, how awful you see me like this already?

[foundheart]

I didn't say I did!! But apparently Akechi-senpai doesn't like you... But then again, that's not really hard to do either. But I want to get all sides of a story before making judements.

What happened with you two??

[nullificates]

ah, i'm sorry about his behavior, i know it's not the best.

(dazai you can't apologize for akechi?????)

ah, well, you know! you have me in your reality, apparently! my real name is osamu dazai. a little disagreement about that, because he didn't want to tell me that! we're not that much alike, i'm afraid.

1/2

[foundheart]

I think that's my line...

2/2

[foundheart]

Oh! The author!! I've read a book or two of his before! Wow, that's really neat. I wonder why he wouldn't tell you...?

I guess it's a little odd. I'd feel weird if I knew there was a 'me' that existed in a completely other world.

But you're not him, you just share the name, or something like that?

[nullificates]

ah, because he was fishing for information himself, like a dumbass! so we had a little fight, is all.

there are, most likely. i'm definitely not him, though apparently, there are some many similarities!

[foundheart]

Well, that does sound like him... He's a detective too, I'm sure he didn't mean any harm about it. I'll take responsibility for it and say I'm sorry about any misunderstandings! 🙏

[nullificates]

no need, sumi-chan! he sucks and it's not your fault! people must take responsibility for themselves, or else, their life is an endless pit of misery!

[foundheart]

Your feelings aside, he's still a close friend and someone I care about very much. Even if you're angry, please don't speak badly of him, especially not to me.

We've been through a lot and he's always been kind to me in his own way. While I don't want to quarrel and want to be friendly with you, I still won't stand bad-talking of him.

[nullificates]

loyal. i'm not angry at all, sumi-chan.

i'll refrain, i'll refrain!

[foundheart]

Very. We're teammates, afterall.

Thank you, though. I'll also try to ask that Akechi-senpai reign in it. You met Akira-senpai too, right? [She remembers his name popping up when talking to Akira] I'll try to make sure there's at least some civility. I'd rather none of us fight.

icon chosen purposefully

[nullificates]

oh, it doesn't matter to me if he doesn't! not in the intent of badmouthing, but he's like a tiny little angry hamster compared to certain mentees of mine.

ah, yes, i like that one.

imma test drive yosano next test drive at this point tbqh

[foundheart]

Okay, that made me laugh. But if it ever bothers you, please let me know. I can't pretend to have any control over what Akechi-senpai says or does, but I'll talk to him!

It's pretty hard not to like Akira-senpai, to be fair! But I'm glad you get along with him, at least. He's something of our leader, you could say.

we have TALKED

[nullificates]

ah, never! you should see the others, he's no match whatsoever! i'm not worried or bothered in the slightest!

ah, really? leader of what?

[foundheart]

[Adults are so weird... But it's kind of relieving anyhow.]

Of our friends! Our friend group. We've got a decent-sized group, although the majority of them aren't here. It's just me, Akira-senpai, and Akechi-senpai. I sort of hope the others show up soon, but also hope they can stay safe at home...

[For a given value of 'safe.' Also it's so much easier to skirt the truth in text where no one has to see her face, phew.]

[nullificates]

Why a group of friends would need a leader, however?

(SUMI, YOU'RE NOT HELPING. HE KNOWS SOMETHING IS UP NOW. IT'S DAZAI.)

[foundheart]

[NO THERE'S NOTHING TO SEE HERE, EVERYTHING'S FINE.]

What?? is that weird?? isn't there a leader-type in every group of friends??

We're just your normal everyday school kids. Other places have weird things going on, like magic and all, but our home is super boring in comparison.
