When: december 2nd

[ 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 ]

[Well, from what little she's gleaned from the inside of your brain and all...]

you should fix that
though when stuck on tiny ships it's a bit hard
I don't know what do you like doing?

[experiencepoints]

I don't know?
Puzzles?

[mikangirl]

by yourself or with other people?

[experiencepoints]

Usually I solved the puzzles for my party.
I guess I also like magic?

[mikangirl]

Well, that's something. [Trying real hard not to remember a ceiling of death raining down on you right about now.]

What kind of magic?

[experiencepoints]

[hey, her puzzle-solving worked there]

I specialize in offensive magic.
Elemental spells and status effects.
If it were possible, I'd like to study more healing and utility magic.
But there are no spellbooks here, or any other way to get new spells past figuring them out myself.

[mikangirl]

Aren't there magical healers here?

[experiencepoints]

Are there?
I've only got one healing spell, so if there are, maybe I can learn from them.

[mikangirl]

You know I'm not sure but I ran into someone who asked if I were a healer because I had a staff
Which no on both counts currently

[Still bitter about that.]

But they're probably the people to ask. I can't think we have all these magical types here without someone else knowing how to do that kind of thing.

[experiencepoints]

That's a weird question.
A lot of classes use staffs.
As healer and mage, I have to use a staff on both.
I'll have to ask around, then.
My one healing spell is next to useless.
It's really not a branch of magic I'm suited for, but it's necessary to have in case things start going badly again.

[mikangirl]

sounds like a fair call
so do you like all kinds of puzzles? I mean if someone gave you crossword puzzles would you like those?

[experiencepoints]

I guess?
For a bit, anyway.
That's a little... low-key to what I do, I guess.

[mikangirl]

okay so what kind of puzzles
not the kind that could get you killed I hope

[experiencepoints]

The puzzles themselves weren't deadly, usually.
I guess if I hadn't figured out the Dark Dimensions puzzle, we'd have been trapped there until we ran out of resources and couldn't keep ourselves alive.
But that was just tracking an enemy and mapping the area, it wasn't hard.

[mikangirl]

...you know you'd probably get on really well with Robin
she's a crewmate of mine
loves ruins and old puzzles
morbid sense of humour

[experiencepoints]

Robin?
Not the one here?
Regardless, with a name like that, I do already like her.

[mikangirl]

Ah no, not the one from here. I keep forgetting to make that distinction
hard when I have a crew at home too
Do you like birds or just their names? I'm curious

[experiencepoints]

Good question.
I never really cared about birds one way or another before I went to the castle.
But once I got closer to my team, I started to like them a bit.
Except for Bluebird's companion bird.
Fuck that asshole.
I guess it's not that I like birds, as much as that they remind me of my team now.

[mikangirl]

Makes sense.
Was everyone named after a bird?

[experiencepoints]

Yeah.
Sort of.
One or two got a little complicated.
But we all picked a name that was a color and a bird.
I didn't understand it, but the theme was established when I got there.
Gray Nightingale, Blue Raven, Yellow Sparrow, White Swan, Pink Finch, Azure Dove.
A lot more as time went on.

[mikangirl]

So I'm guessing Nightingale's not your real name then

[Like she doesn't know already. But she'd rather hear when you're conscious, gosh.]

[experiencepoints]

[Hey, if Nami wants to pretend all of that never happened, that's fine with her.]

It is.
As far as I'm concerned, anyway.
It's not the one that I was born with, but it's my real name.

[mikangirl]

[It's more polite that way.]

Then if it's your real name it's your real name
besides Nightingale is cute

[experiencepoints]

[She is so glad that this is text so no one can see her.]

Thanks.
I've become pretty fond of it.
