[ he looks at the offered hand. ]

If I have, I don't remember it.

[ but, tentatively, he'll take the offered hand and shake. ]

...I'm Rex. Salazar, apparently. I think I'm 16, and I'm an EVO. I like chocolate, and I dislike...dying, I guess.

A trust fall is when you fall back and you trust that your partner will catch you!

[ he'll shake back eagerly! ]

Yeah, dying's the worst, isn't it? But chocolate's pretty good--milk, white, or dark chocolate? And what's an EVO all about?

[third_alternative]

Uhh...they're all good, I guess? I think dark's a little too bitter, but I'm not really sure. I haven't had, like, a huge variety of it.

And EVOs are...well, in my world, everyone's got these tiny machines in them. And if they activate, they mutate you and turn you into an EVO. So, that's what I am.

[escardos]

Huh...so it's kind of like when people say that the government is controlling them through chips?

[ interesting??? ]

So when you died, the EVOs took over? No, that's not right...it did a factory reset, or something like that? Like when your CPU overheats.

[ he smirks and laughs a little at that. psh, what an amateur, you can't even use the words right ]

No, it's--the machines in people are called nanites. An EVO is what they turn you into. And there's not really a whole lot of controlling going on. They just randomly activate, and then it's usually just...random rampaging.

But... [ shakes his head ] I'm not really sure what happened with me when I died. I know how nanites and EVOs work in general, but everything about my nanites just doesn't match up. All I know is, it's not new. Apparently I already had memory problems even before I died.
