True or False:

* Earth is a backwoods trash heap that no one lives on anymore.

* There is civilization in the neighboring solar system.

* My home world is shared among many intelligent, non-human species.

* false
* probably true
* true? maybe? at least one

anyway none of that's important
how the hell do you keep setting up for t-spins when you can't see the pieces
what kind of black magic is this

[anuglybloom]

Wow it's almost like it's a challenge.

[nightcalling]

[ oh, so she's gonna be like that, huh? ]

not much of one

[ and with that, nazuna sets her phone to silent and boots up tetris. this skank might be good at the game, but she's not a vampire - she probably had a life outside videogames for the past thirty years. she probably has to take breaks to eat, drink, and piss.

about six hours later, a notification is sent: a score just barely higher. a few rows at best. but a higher score nonetheless. ]

1. False
2. We haven't found it, but that doesn't mean it's not there.
3. There's at least one group of non-humans we share the planet with. There might be more, but I've never met them.


Oh hey, Tetris.

I haven't played that in a hwile.

[anuglybloom]

So you're still Earth-bound, is what you're saying.

[nightcalled]

We have a rover on Mars. And the Americans went to the moon fifty years ago.

dolphins

[anuglybloom]

Oh yes, dolphins are a vital part of the Earth economy.

[socute]

dolphins are cute and smarter than the average human

they've got more important things to worry about than stocks or whatever

[BRB on these questions, he has posted his own score here. Not quite at her level, but still high!]

This game a hobby of yours?

[anuglybloom]

I like it.

[divisors]

Are you just this good at things you simply like?

[kaientai]

false!
maybe? probably!
true!

This is a pretty interesting game!

[ he might... develop a problem here. ]

Are you from space? These sound like questions someone from space might ask.

[anuglybloom]

Oscyria. In the Clotes System.

[kaientai]

Oh, wow!

I admit I have no idea where that is, but you know about Earth? Is it far in the future where you're from? I was in 2018 before I came here.

Does this challenge come with any kind of reward, or simply bragging rights for when I triumph?

[anuglybloom]

100,000 yen

[semilethal]

[semilethal]

Oh HO. So real actual cash then? I must warn you, I WILL come to collect

*Depends on how terrible this "Earth" is.
*True
*True? Why do you ask?

Also, you're very good at this. Are you willing to teach me how to play it as well as you do?

[anuglybloom]

If you tell me about your world.

[localweirdo]

Certainly!

Are you familiar with the world of Teyvat? Because it is quite the world where Archons grant you a vision if you are deemed worthy in their eyes! Mine is pyro where I get to blow things up.

Not that I'm complaining, of course.

* It remains populated.
* Correct.
* Correct. I am one of them.

You seem sure about the next solar system, everyone else is just guessing.

[patchricide]

Wait, do you mean in Earth's neighboring solar system? Because I didn't think there were all that many habited planets in their galaxy. It's in quite a remote part of space, isn't it?
