video; un: saxitup | two truths, one lie

[saxsongs]

Hello! Some of you might remember me, but in case you don't - my name is Ren Jinguji. I returned during New Years and I'm resuming my work as an idol!

[With rewnewed energy, as one might notice from his annoyingly sparkling smile.]

But that's not why I'm making this post, really. I want to propose a game! Something so we can get to know each other better.

This is, two truths, one lie. Write three things about yourself, one of which is a lie. Others will have to guess which one it is. Of course, you can also reply as a video or a voice message, if that's easier.

Simple, right? Let's have fun.

I guess if the mechanical brain replicated a human one closely enough, you could connect and transfer your consciousness.

[ He says, having done just that with a Titan brain. ]

Exactly.

There aren't any people who aren't human out and about in the City, but the definition of 'human' includes some people that you'd probably think look pretty wild.

Plenty of prosthetics, I'm guessing. Are they always mechanical?

cw: body horror??

[abnormalizes]

No, but not for any reason you're going to like. A lot of stuff is made from humans, especially in the Backstreets where it's just the cheapest available resource.

cw: war

[hometown]

That's ... disturbing, but it makes sense. Humans are the cheapest available resource in war, too. It's considered better to throw infantry at a new weapon than risk a more expensive weapon of our own.

Our shitty worlds are similar again, huh.

[hometown]

Yeah. I'd say we should make a Venn diagram, but the overlapping circle would get too big.

[abnormalizes]

I'm torn because I'm glad people understand me and where I come from, but also, I hate that you went through something similar enough to understand? It's a complicated feeling.

[hometown]

I feel the same way. If I had a choice, I'd choose for you to have lived a life where you don't understand. But since that's not the case, I'm grateful you do understand.

You're right: it's complicated.

[abnormalizes]

If I had the choice, I wouldn't give anybody lives like ours, frankly. Even if it meant I was alone with mine.

[hometown]

I'm not sure I'd be strong enough to do that.

[abnormalizes]

'Strong' isn't the right word for it. I'm just used to barely talking about my feelings anyway, so not being able to talk about it wouldn't be that bad.

[hometown]

I understand that. But I don't think I could handle things alone.

[abnormalizes]

A breakdown isn't the end of the world in Ellipsa. People are understanding.
