There's a story to that one, actually. . .

This is a hard one, though. A toss up between two options-- let's go with the first one there.

[guileturncoat]

Nope! I am indeed an only child.

[dereban]

Was it the second one, then?

[guileturncoat]

[He smiles.]

75%. My father's father is an American.

[dereban]

Huh. That's pretty interesting. Is that why you responded to me in English instead of Japanese?

[...]

Actually, were you born in Japan or here?

[guileturncoat]

No, I can speak Japanese fine. But I speak it with an accent, and I knew it would give me away if I tried.

I was born here in America.

[dereban]

What state?

[guileturncoat]

We're getting sidetracked, Inaba-san. The score is tied, and it's your turn.

[dereban]

Ah, that's true. . .

[ Her interest is still there, but best not to deal with that right now. ]

I've been a guy before. I don't remember my first kiss. My first crush was Atsushi-- to specify, the one that isn't here.

[guileturncoat]

Third one. Atsushi-kun is a good boy, but I would not be surprised to hear that you had a crush before him.

[dereban]

You're right about that.

I'm surprised you believe the first two, though.

[guileturncoat]

There's enough SCPs around here that do weird things, I can see genderswapping happen. And as for the first kiss, the amnesia drugs the Foundation uses can be pretty effective.

[dereban]

Maybe I should consider myself lucky that neither of those happened here.

Anyway, it's your turn now.

[guileturncoat]

[That just raises further questions about Inaba's world.]

I can speak three languages, I have a girlfriend, and I didn't finish high school.

[dereban]

[ PLEASE ASK HER ABOUT IT. . . .


squints

at him

with much scrutiny because if she gets this wrong he wins

(she is absolutely going to get this wrong or else i'll die laughing) ]

The. . . third one?

[ INABA WHY AREN'T YOU GOING FOR THE POTENTIALLY OBVIOUS SECOND ONE ]

[guileturncoat]

[SMILE SMILE]

I've been at the Foundation for years, and they don't exactly value our education here. So nope, I haven't finished high school.

...though actually at this point I could probably just take the GED exam and pass it.

[dereban]

Wait.

It was the obvious one, wasn't it?!

no judgement here

[guileturncoat]

Sure was! Do you really think any girl would date a disaster like me?

[x] doubt

[dereban]

. . . Yes?

[ Well, that and she thought that it wouldn't be the obvious choice. ]

Anyway, you won the bet.

[guileturncoat]

Oh, so I get to make you do something, hmm~?

[dereban]

[ welp


this is how she dies ]

As long as it's something I can reasonably do, yes.

[guileturncoat]

[Give him a few moments, he'll be right back.

He comes back with a PSP and a copy of Spyro: Year of the Dragon.]

Beat this game and tell me what you think about it.

[dereban]

. . . Oh, it's this game.

It never got a Japanese release, so I had to import it when it first came out. There was even a run of this game at various GDQs.

[guileturncoat]

You've already played it?

[He sounds disappointed, but hey! That means they can nerd about video games.]

[dereban]

Not on PSP, but the original Playstation release, yeah. I'll play it if you want me to, but you can give me something else to do instead.
