Sorry, Mao.

I've been working late.

I have upper level access. I have not been there in a long time. Maybe we should move up there...

[ooc: Soma's new job - L's bodyguard. She'll bring him cake, too. :| ]

Seems most of us have been over working~?

[hrlsoldier]

Oh ... I just started.

[baseball_sword]

You did? Well! Good luck in all your future endeavors!

[hrlsoldier]

... do I know you?

[baseball_sword]

Nope, don't think so. I work for Celestial Being, my names Yamamoto Takeshi!

I've been busy, so I haven't made many friends around here.

[hrlsoldier]

Oh.

... a lot of people work for Celestial Being now.

I am Second Lieutenant Soma Peries. I work for White Fang.

[baseball_sword]

Mind if I call you Soma?

White Fang? OH OH! The other place, yeah, I guess they do? But didn't our leader just recently leave the game? ...Wait, yours did too right?

This game gets more and more complicated as time goes on. It's really hard to keep up! I need a walkthrough.

[hrlsoldier]

Soma is fine. What should I call you? Takeshi?

Ah ... yes, but she came back. And we have another leader. He's very competent. A good man.

... a walkthrough?

[baseball_sword]

You can call me that! Most of my friends just call me Yamamoto, but Takeshi is fine.

That's good to hear! It's always nice when your friends come back, I think.

You know, like a strategy guide, or a cheat sheet?

[hrlsoldier]

Yamamoto, then. ... it's less formal.

Yes, it is nice.

Strategy? We aren't fighting a war. ... cheat? ... did you try asking the gods?

[baseball_sword]

A war? Naw, don't think so. It's kinda like a video game, you know an RPG, what with all the monsters running around.

Never played one? Mmm, let me see how to explain it. A strategy guide gives you hints and cheats on how to beat all the big bosses that you couldn't get without it!

Ahaha, last time I tried to talk to the Gods, they ignored me. Not a problem, they must be busy.

[hrlsoldier]

... that's cheating. Games are supposed to be fun. How is that fun? You're not using any skill or training to overcome the obstacles set before you.

[baseball_sword]

Aaaaaaahhaha, yeah technically it is cheating. Just, some games are so hard you need hints, I guess!

[hrlsoldier]

If you cheat to win then you're a failure, I think. You can't cheat in a life or death situation, and what good is a game if it doesn't prepare you for something?

[baseball_sword]

Woah, Woah! Soma! I was only talking about a game.

Where I come from, we play games for fun, not for training.

But, I understand what you mean. I wouldn't cheat with something very important, that's just not how it's done.

[hrlsoldier]

If it applies to other things, why not to this? You're just another civilian, aren't you? I guess that's why you would rather pretend it's all fiction.

... well, it's good that you understand that, at least.
