If this adventure with chain mail has taught me anything, 'tis that many of us here are having our first exposure to the internet, with all its amusements and pitfalls included. Thus, I thought it might be nice to introduce another 'getting to know each other' game that some of us might not know yet. This one won't involve pictures or ratings of attractiveness, not to worry.

This game is called 'two truths and a lie'. The premise is simple. You list three statements about yourself, two true and one false. Ideally they should all be similar levels of unbelievable. Then, other people respond to you to guess which one is the lie. We all learn a little about each other and have a bit of fun.

Would that have stopped the two of you if you'd had your hearts set on it?

Hehe, it's a lot of fun! It's on every console now.

We generally didn't spar in places that could potentially cause both destruction and put civilian lives at risk. The training room was usually the place to let loose.

I got it for my poor neglected psp and never touched it

[Not answering the question. Interesting.]

Why were you sparring on a hologram, then? A training exercise?
rhapsodist: (๐Ÿ“š 83)

I mean, I'm biased for the PSP version since I like that EN cast best >_>;;

[More like there was no point in answering it. Could ShinRa really stop them? No. But they generally listened to authority (at that time) so there was no reason to go against orders.]

Yes, it was the company training room. All SOLDIERs can use it and us Firsts used it a lot for fun.

[And lack of collateral damage when they went all out at times.]
kingside: (thoughtful)

I'm just like I should use it and also make sure the battery hasn't exploded

[Oh, he'd definitely noticed a few other things about the non-answer, but anyway.]

"Firsts?"
rhapsodist: (๐Ÿ“š 2)

It's really easy to replace so I highly recommend!

Ah, apologies. There were three ranks within SOLDIER. First, Second, and Third Class. Below that are the ShinRa troopers. But to become SOLDIER, you must undergo treatment in the form of mako infusion. Mako is a substance that enhances the human body.

After that, it's simply a matter of promotion through training and achievements. There have only been four First Class SOLDIERs while the Shin-Ra Electric Company was in power. To explain any further would take much too long over text. But that is the simplified version.

[Super soldier prototype with enough destructive power to take out a muti-story canonโ€”theoretically? And fly with one wing. A plane with one wing? A literal wing? Why not both, at this point?

... wait, why is an electric company in actual power?!]


Shin-Ra Electric Company has an army, some of whom boast super-human strength. Noted.

[He is so done with this.]

[Oligarchies are a thing in some worlds, Lelouch.]

Had. They are no longer in power.

[yes please explain politics to him he is clearly a neophyte]

I suppose that's a relief.
