Who: kisses and the attached lips
Where: Game Tower => home
When: Day 73, night

[ You're summoned to the Game Tower - or maybe you're not, maybe you're too far away to get there. In any case, there's not really much at the Game Tower for you to see - winners are highlighted on the television screens in the lobby, the elevators once more locked. There are a number of radio announcers' voices as the results go by and none of them are recognizable or even very easy to focus on with how dull they sound. You can catch some of this:

" -- Heart Soldier Senshi -- not surprising that they got the most kisses, but who would have expected ☆ZRAEL!?"

"I know, right!? They really did a 180 since the last game!!"

"It's crazy! Now, here are some fan favorites -- "

" -- You voted, listeners, and your voice was heard! Who did you think deserved to win!?"

"First pick! Drumrooooooooooll -- "

"CEO ☆ S2FPYME= on future is now for his AMAAAZING game with Jigsaw! He was so intense! That's why the fans named him Intensity, you know!!"

"I knoooow, right? Oooh my goooood, it was sooo good I couldn't stop watching! Okay, next up is -- "

"Speaking of pep!pep!, you know who I reaaaally liked? A Sleeping Knight and 😘 were just like, the cutest! But it was sooo funny too, like, LMAO, a spray bottle???"

"Hahaha, I totally get it though! Guys are pig disgusting! But I totally ship the two of them, they're so good together! I loved them in the last game too ♥"

"Now, last but not least - ! BAD END=DEAD END . . . "

" . . . "

"Aaaaah, no one's surprised by that, huh!? They're so steamy with their kisses! They're so crazy! But man, the stuff that Prisoner did with Warden - I mean, their names say it all, right!? Right!?"

"I knoooww it was sooo crazyyyyyyyy!!! My heart was racing the entire time!!! You know, I totally prayed that they would kiss in the trial and then they did it here, they're soooo gooooooooooooood."

"You prayed!?"

"Yeah!?"

-- the chatter goes on, completely unimportant and fizzing out once the relevant portions have been relayed. pep!pep!, BAD END=DEAD END, future is now, ☆ZRAEL, and Heart Soldier Senshi will find not 500, but 800 points deposited into their banks. Every other unit gets the standard 100.

There's nothing in the lobby but leaves and sprigs of leftover mistletoe. You might find a few stray mistletoe around the buildings too, but they'll start to disappear with time. ]

...I-I mean, we wouldn't be kissin' him at exactly the same time, probably, but, y'know...

[rollplayinghouse]

No, I don't know.

[liftoft]

--A-Ah, well, y'know... You're the one with three boyfriends, so I figured you'd have an idea how two people kiss a third one!

[rollplayinghouse]

It's different when we're all dating each other! Sitting there watching someone kiss someone and then kissing them yourself right after is a bit...

[liftoft]

...So the idea's no good?

[rollplayinghouse]

...It's just...

...very... intimate.

[liftoft]

Two people kissin' somebody one right after the other is more intimate than just kissing one on one?

[rollplayinghouse]

...It's different! Besides, kissing one on one is part of the game, and that isn't!

[liftoft]

...So you're sayin' it's definitely unexpected and exciting.

[rollplayinghouse]

If that's what you want to call something most people wouldn't do because it's weird, sure.

[liftoft]

"Something most people wouldn't do" describes a lot of stuff that's worth doing! You don't know if it'll be successful until you try!

[rollplayinghouse]

...And this sounds like something you'd be fine doing? Trapping Intensity, watching me kiss him and then kissing him yourself?

[liftoft]

Well, I'm gettin' the idea that you wouldn't be fine with it, so no, not in that case...

[rollplayinghouse]

I didn't say that. It's just... the sort of thing I'd normally only do with my boyfriends.

You don't feel that way about it...?

[liftoft]

Oh! I get you. It's not something I'd do with just anybody, either!

But you're not just anybody, y'know?

[rollplayinghouse]

...

Then... who am I? To you?

[liftoft]

What? What do you mean, who are you?

[rollplayinghouse]

I mean... if you wouldn't do it with just anybody, what sort of person would you do it with? A friend?

[liftoft]

It's not really about 'what sort of person'! I'm sayin' I'd do it with you!

[rollplayinghouse]

[why are you like this]

Why would you do it with me?

[liftoft]

Because Harumaki's Harumaki! I can't say "I'd do it with people who are like this or that" or "you're this way, so I'd do it with you for those reasons". You're just--yourself, who you are, and the way we are with each other, so I'd do it with you!

It feels like you're trying to solve a puzzle here, maybe, but there's not much else to it but that!

[rollplayinghouse]

...

You're ridiculous.

[liftoft]

Why's that?

[rollplayinghouse]

Basically every word out of your mouth is why.

[liftoft]

--Well, you keep hangin' out with me anyway, so I guess I'm okay if you think I'm a little ridiculous.
