"What <span class="mu-i">if,</span>" you say, "I just closed my eyes? And we did it like that? It's not like I <span class="mu-i">need</span> my eyes open to tell you about—"
"But you could open your eyes on accident..." Gil rustles. "I-I-I just don't want to be vanished, um, again. We could always postpone this, or cancel it, i-if you don't want to— you really don't have to, um— you know—"
"Of course I do! Or you'll just act weird all the time, and that'd— that'd hurt my feelings, so this is a way better option. What if I put a blindfold on?"
"...A blindfold?"
"So I can't open my eyes? Um, here." You untie the bow at your neck and wrap its ribbon around your eyes, shaking your head to make sure it won't slip. The world is dark. "Is anything vanished?"
"...No..."
You crane your neck in the direction of Gil's voice. "Are you vanished?"
"...No, I-I-I'm, um..."
"Okay then!" You plop down onto the floor and cross your legs. "You can sit down if you— can you sit down? You sound like beetles. Maybe you should go get your body, then you can—"
"Um, i-i-it's not here right now... it's not broken, or anything, I-I just, um— I-I-I-I-I'll explain later..." The hum of wings abruptly halts, and you scootch back as beetle bodies pitter-patter onto the ground. "I-I can just, um, do this."
"Oh! That works." You assume it works, at least. "So I'd ask you what you wanted to know, but it doesn't actually matter, since I'm just going to tell you everything. That way we're all even and fair and whatever. So—"
>How do you spin your life story? (You're at 10/13 ID.)
>[1] Make it sound very boring. You dislike thinking about this, much less talking about it— speed through so maybe Gil won't ask questions.
>[2] Make it sound very tragic. Everybody important has a tragic backstory, and maybe Gil will be sympathetic. Or at least less uppity.
>[3] Make it sound very dramatic, like in a book. *Destiny has stalked your footsteps from the day you were born.* Stuff like that. Maybe Gil will find you cool and awesome.
>[4] Control your natural instincts and try very, very hard to provide just the facts. Let Gil form his own conclusions. It'll be painful, but maybe he'll respect you for it. [-1 ID.]
>[5] Write-in.
