[ hello and welcome to Boredom Hours, sponsored by one too many midafternoon beers and a perpetual inability to not immediately make his ennui everyone else's problem. today's host is... Reno!
when the video starts, it's to a shockingly decently framed shot of Reno doing the hooligan squat on the front stoop of his apartment building. he's got a lit cigarette hanging from his mouth, and once he's sure that the video is rolling he takes a long drag of it before he speaks. ]
Sup. I'm Reno. Some of ya may know me from my colorful past as "guy who got yanked into pool by tentacle monster."
[ probably nobody knows him that way but it's fine. we are not concerned with strict veracity here. Reno blows a neat smoke ring and grins the kind of grin that means he knows he's being a pain in the ass. ]
I was thinkin', y'know, there's only so many of us. Probably ain't a bad idea to get to know each other, right? [ he gestures with his cigarette as he speaks as if to underscore his words. ] We need some conversation starters. Some icebreakers, y'know? Everybody's favorite highlight from their corporate bonding retreats.
So! [ he holds up a hand to count on.
one finger. ] Two truths and a lie. Post 'em, let other people guess. I'll leave mine too. Shoutout to the blond girlie who had that party a couple months back for this one.
[ two fingers. ] Hot or not. Or smash or pass, whatever you wanna call it. Post yourself and let people vote, if you're brave. Or post your friends if you want to fuck around. You can all see my face right now so count that as my submission.
[ three fingers. ] Creativity exercise, open prompt. You can go anywhere, be anybody, do anything you want. The world ain't ending and there's no war or whatever the hell going on. Who are you and what are you doing? [ brief smoke break, and then Reno stubs the butt out on the cement, exhaling as he says, ] Me, I wanna make mediocre coffee for minimum wage and not worry about shit except makin' rent.
[ and lastly, four fingers. ] "Reno, this is fuckin' stupid and I don't want to do it." Okay, nobody's got a gun to your head. We ain't even got guns here. Do what you want.
[ his four fingers curl in so he can offer a cheerful, if a bit manic, thumbs-up before he reaches out to turn off the video.
just before he touches the button, though, he pauses as if something just occurred to him— ] Oh, shit—also, drop map pins for your favorite restaurant in this place. I'm in the market for new eats, bonus points if it's spicy.
[ okay, now he's gone. ]

( who taught her this? probably zack, or reno himself. )
LMFAO
WHO taught you that????
no subject
1. I heard it on the radio.
2. I looked it up just now.
3. I heard someone mention it.
no subject
[ and there ain't no way Strife taught her that either, which basically leaves one possible culprit. ]
you know what? as it so happens, no they don't

dammit
okay you do one then
no subject
1. I think it isn't important to wear underwear.
2. A snake bit me once and since then I've been afraid of them.
3. I'm lonely.
no subject
[ guessing about her underwear after she guessed carpet vs drapes. very normal Reno & Aerith conversations. ]

I'm disappointed.

I could help with the snake thing. haven't gotten anywhere on the loneliness yet tho. if I figure it out you'll be the first I tell.
no subject
They're cute, aren't they? The ones that slither around in gardens. They eat things, but I've always had a hard time kicking them out...
You aren't lonely here though, are you?
no subject
I haven't seen that many of them in person though. I think living in a garden means you've seen more snakes than the average Midgar slumdweller
I think I might be? hard to say. either that or just nostalgic
