Who: Those who play games!
Where: Game Tower
When: Day 115, late morning (game is 11am - noon)

[ For those who answer the call that goes out on your phones -- today you step out of the elevators to find yourselves in an airy Grand Ballroom. At the front of the room is a buffet table featuring finger sandwiches, petit fours, and savory pastries complemented by fresh cups of steaming hot tea. From nowhere to be seen comes the sound of instruments playing.

If you happen by the small, square tables you'll find a place card with your name on it at one of them designating your seat. (You can try to move it, if you wish, but it won't budge). In the middle of the table are two fancy gold chests, one inlaid with red jewels and the other inlaid with blue jewels (neither can be opened) as well as what looks to be a game board. ]

[STARTED THE GAME AS SILENCE,

ENDED THE GAME AS SONG??

absentmindedly running her fingers over the plain black band--the tattoo-like marking--running around her neck, and is also very flushed]

Th-that was mostly not so bad...!

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[Eyeing that tattoo suspiciously. Also. Wait.

Is that...?]

Song?

[resonantblue]

[after she's done ogling naked people,]

--Intensity! H-hello! It is me, yes sir.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

Did you play in a game?

[resonantblue]

I did. Hey, now that I think about it, this was my first game!

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

. . .

Is there a reason you wanted to play this one?

[resonantblue]

[laughs nervously]

Haha! No way!

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

No? No reason at all?

[resonantblue]

Nnnn....

N...

[it doesn't help that Intensity intimidates her]

I mean, maybe, there could have been a reason, but, um, gee, it sure was a reason, huh!

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

It sure was a reason.

[Points to her neck]

Is this a new fashion statement?

[resonantblue]

It doesn't have anything to do with that! I took control from Silence before that, that is uhh... a strange story!

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[Low whistle]

Oh, you took control now? So it works both ways.

[resonantblue]

I... usually I don't try to, but in that moment, I realized I needed to stand up for myself.

[inspiteful]

Silence?

[ ...Wait something seems different... ]

[resonantblue]

[blinks, opening her eyes wide--they don't look dull, they look full of life! and maybe a little crazed, i mean, she has the circle thing going on

she waves]

Hello! I'm not Silence, sorry... though I recognize you as Silence's friend!

[inspiteful]

[ Is this a twin? Or something else??? The thing is this place has taught him that Eclipse cannot safely assume one or the other. ]

Oh, sorry. I'm Eclipse. Who are you?

[resonantblue]

I'm Song! I share a body with Silence, which is why we look alike--because we're the same person. Um, body?

[inspiteful]

[So the answer is body sharing, okay,,,]

Makes...sense?

[resonantblue]

Are you kidding me? It makes no sense to me!

[inspiteful]

Lots of things here don't. Maybe it's like two souls in one body except I don't think that's how it works either.

[If it's, even possible, this is just pure hypothesis on his part.]

[resonantblue]

It's so confusing... by the way, you aren't part of that weird organization, too, are you? I remember Silence mentioning she spoke to you the first time because you were also there at a... meeting? The thing with bacon.

[inspiteful]

Oh, you mean C's thing? I work for him too, yeah.

[resonantblue]

It really is like you guys are everywhere...

[inspiteful]

C's worked hard to recruit people.

[resonantblue]

I mean, he did give me bacon once! And he was the one to awaken me...

But it's still kinda overwhelming, his whole—thing?
