I'm curious. How many of us here are below the age of 20? Of those, who have served officially or unofficially during war or fighting in some capacity?

Save... damsels?

[You've lost him again.]

[hotdate]

Yeah! All these beautiful damsels. It's so awesome and they totally love you for it.

[blondtactician]

I'm sorry. I think I may be misunderstanding. Either you're talking about a type of fly or pretty women, and I don't see why either need saving...

[hotdate]

Ghouls, man! Because sometimes they need saving.

...Sometimes. [Rarely to never, but he can have his fantasies]

[blondtactician]

That does not sound like a very good game.

[hotdate]

Oh, it's an awesome game, I promise you'll love it.

[No. No he will not]

[blondtactician]

Alright... [Armin concedes with just enough reluctance to probably warrant an 'I knew this was a bad idea' later on] is it something we can do in the virtual reality rooms?

[hotdate]

Well, you don't have to, I mean the game is just a handheld...

[But. But virtual reality.]

Oh man but it would be SO COOL in virtual reality. You think we could plug my game into it?

[Heath his is a terrible idea, you've freaked out in the presence of the Sinestarians once already, remember how badly that went?]

[blondtactician]

You'd have to ask someone better at programming the thing. I admit I haven't dedicated much time to learning about it. [Not when that time could be spent researching the UE, or learning how to use the tablet.]

[hotdate]

It's okay, I'm sure we can work it out for ourselves.

[Don't let him touch it, he'll destroy it.]

[blondtactician]

[Oh no. Not another person who's like this.] You don't mean you and I, do you?

[hotdate]

Sure I do, bro! It'll be fun.

[blondtactician]

I - I barely know how to program the VR rooms... don't you think you should get someone who knows computers better?

[hotdate]

Oh please, how hard can it be?

[blondtactician]

You do realize you could get hurt in a simulation, right?

[hotdate]

No way, it's all just fake computer stuff, right?

[Heath, no.]

[blondtactician]

That doesn't mean it's not dangerous. In fact, my unfamiliarity - as well as yours, by the sound of it - might make it even more dangerous.

[There's a sort of tired sound to his voice, like he's used to making this kind of argument with people.]

[hotdate]

How can fake computer stuff be dangerous? You'd probably just pass right through it, like a hologram.

[blondtactician]

You're saying things I don't know...!

[hotdate]

A hologram. It's...actually really complicated.

[blondtactician]

Holograms... are made of light, right?

[hotdate]

[Like hell if he knows.]

Proooobably?
