[The feed opens up with... a far-too-close zoom-in on Enna's eye. But then once she's satisfied it's on, she leans back, and nods to herself.]

Hello! So, Vee did that game where everyone got to ask it three questions. And I thought it seemed kinda fun. It would be a fun way to get to know everyone here. So I think it should be a game for everyone to play.

If you can do this.... Caw, ICP? Thingy. And talk to people. Let people ask you three questions and use it to get to know people! And even if you're the kind of person who doesn't care about getting to know people, it's still worth trying, because if we're all on teams and going on missions together, the more we know about each other, the better we can work together. Tactics, battle strategy, abilities, knowledge, strengths and weaknesses... And things like personality, history, all of that. The more we know about each other, the better we'll be.

Ready? I'll start!

[Turnabout, fair play, etc. etc.]

And what exactly is it that you do as a 'real fancy Buddhist priest?'

[its_dad_sanzo]

Besides confuse everyone?

[namethattune]

Yes.

[its_dad_sanzo]

At my rank, my job is mostly to protect the sutra.

[ Or sutras, as had been the case for most of his tenure. ]

And to confuse everyone.

[namethattune]

I suppose the confusion helps with the protection.

[That doesn't mean he has to like it, but he can at least understand that.]

Why does it require such protection?

[its_dad_sanzo]

It's one fifth of the power that made all of existence and nonexistence, life and death, and everything in between.

[ None of this has been any kind of secret, so why not. ]

And where there's real power, there's always people who want it for themselves.

[namethattune]

[...what]

[If any of that is true, that is a massive amount of world-altering power to be entrusted to this]

[this]

[...this person]

[...he needs some time to wrap his mind around this, don't mind him.]

...and this power is entrusted to a single human to protect.

[its_dad_sanzo]

I used to protect two of them!

[ For something over twenty years, no less.

But yes, he's just going to

cheerfully

break your brain, Siebren. ]

...Of course, anyone who thinks they could do a better job is welcome to try to take it from me.

[ Emphasis not given, because it's not needed, on 'try'. ]

It would certainly make things interesting for a little while.

[namethattune]

[Two of them. Two out of five. Protected by a single human.]

[Protected by this particular human.]

[Either this is an elaborate series of lies, or there is much more to this priest than meets the eye. Perhaps that is by design.]

[And then he continues to speak. Siebren has heard that tone before, that turn of phrase: from Moira, from Sombra, as a challenge, certain of the outcome. That is not a tone to be trifled with.]

Mm. I believe I will leave that to someone more cavalier with their well-being.

[its_dad_sanzo]

I think you're just allergic to fun.

[ Or, like literally everyone, he's allergic to death, you horrible holy gremlin-- ]

Did you have a third question?

[namethattune]

You are welcome to believe that.

[Dry as the desert.]

[He doesn't really have a third question in mind, but what the hell.]

What are we to call you?

[its_dad_sanzo]

Either Sanzo, or Koumyou Sanzo!

[ Look at that, a painless answer. Miracles do happen. ]
