speed dating 2.0

[idolpro]

WHO: More idols looking to have a good time
WHERE: Game Tower
WHEN: Day 120, morning

[ Hello, Idols! Are you ready for a game?

Some of you may have played this before! The area is familiar for sure: today's playing field is an expansive balcony with several mini-tables paired with two patio chairs each, garden umbrellas planted to keep the heat away. You can see the rest of the city from up here, too - it turns out you're pretty high up as you can even see the start of the Rainbow Bridge from here, though the railings are high so there's not a high likelihood of accidentally falling down.

There are a few pink lemonade pitchers scattered around with paper cups if you're thirsty, and some bite-sized chocolates if you're hungry. Cute snack food!

The instructions look familiar, too: it's a light game, with no enforced truth-telling even. No status effects! Just dates!

There are cards on the table, too! ]

Yeah, one of the other individuals on my unit, Rei-kun, seems to be from my homeworld! I didn't see much of him, but from what I did see and feel... I think we're supposed to be childhood friends.

Pretty crazy, right? To have two people drawn here from the same world when you consider just how many people or beings there actually are in existence.

[puzzlekeeper]

That's alright with me if it's alright with you.

[sunflowering]

Aww...

[Charmed]

That's really sweet, actually. I feel like a scoundrel here on a speed date with you though. Does Lily-san know you like them?

[foolmetwice]

Hey, if you ask me, a little bit of scandal never hurt anyone.

[drawing a card as he speaks in a long, lazy drawl]

[softlyfalling]

Hah, you were like that, too? It's at least understandable... it's an alarming way to wake up.

Ah, and I wasn't too worried, in any case.

[sunflowering]

Right? I think that's the one thing about my profile that the producers got right.

[iamverybadass]

The people? Why?

Re: Ruby

[notadrop]

Umm, you have to tell the truth? It's speed dating law?

[foolmetwice]

[ducks his head a bit, sheepish and embarrassed. WHAT WAS THAT ABOUT NOT HAVING ANY SHAME. . .]

. . . yeah. We're dating, I guess.

[HE GUESSES]

It's whatever.

[softlyfalling]

Ah... that does sound like it'd be tiresome, over a long period of time. That's kind of him to cook for all of you regardless... it's impressive that he's a good cook, under the circumstances.

[floriographys]

I probably got enough scandal, and I'm tryin' to be "good boy" now.

... Still, I'll think about it.

[deathboss]

I feel the same. I'd like to know a little more about me but...I can't. Just emotions and thoughts and anger for some reason.

[He nods.]

We got one new member as well. I...well from what I understand, Bad End is pretty much Dead End a lot of times. I got my first taste a few weeks ago.

[irregular]

... yeah, that's really weird. I--

[Huh.

[God help him, he's actually thinking about it.]

You know that's actually kinda difficult? I mean, you don't actually want someone to smell like steak. Even if you really like steak. Do people really like the idea of someone they like smelling like they're supposed to eat them?

[justfuckingtryit]

[Snorts.]

Surprised they pulled off that much.

You want another card, though, since you got a do-over?

[foolmetwice]

[makes a face]

Sounds boring.

Anyway. . . "how important is honesty to you in a relationship?"

[justfuckingtryit]

About Griffin?

[sunflowering]

I keep wondering how he does it when he can't taste test the food. It's bizarre.

[ She appreciates it regardless, though. ]

But I liked your idea earlier. Maybe we could all get together and try to think up something nice to do or cook for our units.

[calmthefoxdown]

... You're going to beat them up?

[liftoft]

Hmm...

[ seems to be honestly considering this information ]

[avestan]

No one's died so far?

[puzzlekeeper]

[ Just kind of winces a little, before shrugging. ]

Sorry for bringing the mood down.

[ It's technically the HEART OF THE CARDS' fault but whatever. ]

It's no problem!

[syncintohell]

Hmph! Do not feel compelled to compliment me if you do not mean it. I am not so much a fool I cannot detect that. Or would you simply happen to be untrained in the art of it, and in need of instruction?

[ Rather than looking flattered, his gaze cools. ]

[ And then, as if deciding to show him how it's done, he leans forward on the table. ]

Your gaze is far too sharp to miss something so obvious. For someone with a look as striking as your own, surely you have an eye for what you like in others?

[we_meet_again]

You too!

Re: Whisky

[avestan]

[shocking]

...Yeah, later.

[criminaljustice]

... my mood's fine. It's already something I've settled about, but I guess it's rough hearing it fresh.

[aha--and now he's drawing a card so King has no time to argue with him on this]

"What is your favorite place to be touched?"
