Bringing Back a Classic

[unrecovered]

[He's been thinking about teaching this game to Legion World at large; he figures that other Freelancers will pick up on what he's going for and everyone will figure it out from there.]

Five weird things the press or fans have said to you. Go.

What brought this on?

[superscholar]

... When I was in high school, I thought I got caught changing outfits. Turns out, I was. But apparently the takeaway for them was that they thought my underwear was cute.

[unrecovered]

...I'm honestly not sure if you're asking a question or playing the game.

[thedreamisdead]

I'm asking a question.

"What brought this on" doesn't exactly register as 'weird' in my line of work.

[crowskinovercoat]

Hm.

[She's leaning against the wall along the side of the observatory window, with all that space just sitting there practically next to her, her head turned so she can watch the screen without losing sight of the stars and the planet below. Seems cozy enough.]

You first.

[goddamngrenades]

What happened to Old York, Is Delta a Leprechaun, Are you and Wash secretly married, How many nipples do you have, Was there an agent Brazil.

[unrecovered]

[No, but America registers as 'weird' to just about everyone here, so...]

No, but it could still be something that the press asked you.

And this is just a game to pass the time.

[unrecovered]

[He's trying hard not to grin outright at that story, and he's not exactly succeeding.]

That's one.

[Implying that there should be four more coming.]

[unrecovered]

Nah, that's not how the game works. You give me your five, and then you get to ask.

[unrecovered]

That's five, and I'm a little worried about that fourth one.

[goddamngrenades]

Something something radiation or mutant genes? I dunno, man.

Five things you don't miss from home: Go.

[thedreamisdead]

Ah.

In that case, about the only thing that qualifies would probably be Scott asking whether or not I minded everyone eating my meat. I don't think I have fans here and I haven't dealt with entertainment media at all.

[crowskinovercoat]

That's a lot of trust in your good intentions you're asking out of someone you've just met.

You're the one who asked first. [She cocks her head, her expression mild, but her eyes are searching. For what, well - that's hard to read into the look on her face, certainly.] I'm new here, don't you want to put my mind at ease about the sort of people I've gotten myself mixed up with?

[superscholar]

Oh, right. Um...

[ Give him a second, he's new to this sort of thing. ]

There was the time people were asking if I was the Great Singing Man, that was pretty weird. Then that time I was a stunt double in a movie about me, and they told me I need to get my outfit right. Which is... weird, given it's my outfit. Then there was that other time I was a stunt double in another movie about me, and someone tried to tell me my poses were nothing like Saiyaman's...

Oh, right. And then there was how everyone in this universe kept thinking Saiyaman and Saiyawoman are actually related but still in a relationship. That takes the cake.

[unrecovered]

And nothing from the anon meme has fazed you?

[unrecovered]

[Gohan you really should have warned him that he'd need popcorn for this.]

I'm glad I didn't specify UP press for this, because your home life is nuts.

[thedreamisdead]

Seems pretty tame to me. I'm not sure where the idea that Cortana, the Master Chief, and I would be romantically compatible came from, but as long as they keep things legal I don't see why I should be concerned.

[She shrugs.]

Honestly, I'd pay to deal with that level of normalcy back home.

[unrecovered]

[Holy shit, and he thought he was paranoid.]

You know it's a game, right? You don't have to play.

[unrecovered]

The war.

[Let's just start with the blatantly obvious, shall we]

[short_changed]

Don't have a whole lot to go off of, but what about you with the same challenge?

[She's seen the anon-memes and Wash has been here longer, he must have heard some fun things.]

[crowskinovercoat]

[You don't nearly topple an entire country just to kill one single guy by being naturally trusting and forgiving.]

I'm just trying to get my bearings. Be ... [She trails off briefly, thinking of the right word to describe how she means it.] Neighborly. And it sounded ... fun.

[She doesn't sound like she really knows how to have fun easily. But she can't very well say "how am I going to learn anything about you people (and what you're capable of) if I don't" out loud, either.]

[unrecovered]

Come on, Connie. You know how this works.

[There's no way someone hasn't said something completely boneheaded to her by this point.]
