[ hello drift fleet who here is up for a rousing game of GET TO KNOW YOUR FELLOW CAPTIVES i mean who doesn't love a good ice breaker amirite.

luckily (un...luckily...???) for you all, weiss has done her Research and has chosen the best possible ice breaker the multiverses can find! ]

With the crews back in their vessels and all systems supposedly in order, I thought now would be the perfect time to engage in a good old fashioned ice breaker.
We all come from different worlds, after all, with various experiences under our belt, yet we are all together put in this position, for better or for worse.
So why not try and get to know each other better?
Of course, with distance now an inhibiting factor, it makes things a little more difficult...
But worry not! For I've found a game that will work just as fine through text, with some slight modifications.
The rules are simple enough — anyone is free to make an honest declaration at any time. If any of the statements apply to you, you simply respond with a brief explanation of how.

I can even start!
Ready?

[ and, yes, weiss has just started an online drinking game, look she's not making these rules up, pls play that portion at your own discretion ahem ]

This victory wasn't very satisfying.

I'm still winning, anyway. Want to go again?

Fine. Your turn.

[Hmmm...]

I've never gone to karaoke.

What's karaoke?

Oh, you've never heard of it? It's kind of a party thing. A karaoke machine will play music and display the words of songs, and people sing along with it.

I don't know if that exists in my world. So, no, I haven't.

[Of course, it probably does, she just doesn't know about fun things.]

Well, I've only heard that it's fun. It's really popular on my world. I'm not really one for singing, especially in public, so it's never been my thing.

Yeah, absolutely not. I don't sing.

[Even if a nightingale is supposed to be a songbird.]

My understanding is that almost no one can sing, and that's what makes it fun. People go to enjoy music with friends, regardless of talent.

[This is more or less why he has never done it. Underachiever anxiety, or something.]

I'd still pass. That doesn't sound good for me.

Worth a shot, anyway.

Your turn?

Oh, right. I never had human friends until I'd already left my world? I don't know how to phrase that one for the game, but it still works.

Oh, wow.Does that mean your friends were non-humans?

[He's hoping it doesn't mean "I had no friends".]

That's right. Beast Tribe, elf, and merwoman. But I think it's time for you to spill your story.

Hmm. I'm not sure you could really call it a story, but...

I was kind of terrible at making friends when I was little. Antisocial, awkward, all the traits that made for bad relationship-building. I didn't have the confidence to let people get too close to me.

I didn't really get anywhere until I entered the virtual world and met people who could put up with me. But since it was still in my world, I think you get a point for it.

I think I can understand. I was the same way. I only made a friend at home because she decided it on her own and wouldn't take no for an answer.

[....HE REMEMBERS THIS FRIEND

should he

no

maybe

no

U M]

Yeah, that's basically how it went. One had to bully me to spend time with her at the start. I didn't think she'd like it once she got to know me, but there's no one that I'm closer to now than her.

[she's perfectly happy pretending calibrations never happened]

It sounds like the same situation. That kind of person seems like they always turn out to be the best friends.

[Honestly, he feels the same about his own, so it's probably better not discussed. He'll keep his mouth shut.]

People like us need people like them, I think, more than anything. It's kind of a miracle that we find each other, with how big the world is. Or worlds, in some cases.

[Thinking about Asuna turns him into a big sad sap, oops.]

There's no such thing as miracles. It's because of who they are that it happens.

[She's equally a sad sap thinking about Yura, but she's pretty happy, regardless. She misses her so much, but talking about her helps, honestly.]

No, you're right. Rather than by chance, she sought me out. She chose me. I'm sure it's the same for you. Friends like that see something in us that we can't see in ourselves.

And if they have enough time, they can make you start to see it too.

[Man, they really are similar.]

That's still a work in progress, but...

[Yeah, no argument.]

What's her name? If it's okay to ask.

[Hers was a work in progress, too, constantly being reset by her home- Every word her parents spoke to her shattered any progress she'd made. But, still, that girl had never given up on her, even when she herself had...]

Yura. What about yours?
