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! ]

Yugi dates

[puzzlers]

[ sign up here. ]

for coyote.

[puzzlers]

I don't think we've met before, so, uhm, h- hi! I guess this is as good a chance as any to meet people. [ h- ha. ]

Re: for coyote.

[undressedforsuccess]

Yeah! I'm Coyote, on Wild City. What're you going by, two-tone?

Re: for coyote.

[puzzlers]

Yugi. [ oops! introducing himself would have been a good idea. ] of pep!pep!. Sorry about that. I guess I'm more nervous than I, ah, thought...

Re: for coyote.

[undressedforsuccess]

What for? As long as you don't do anything weird––like, perverted weird––I'm fine with the game. It's good to have something that's not all blood and guts, right? This one's gonna give me a toothache with how cutesy it is.

Re: for coyote.

[puzzlers]

[ he crinkles his nose. ] Not something we'll have to worry about. I don't know though... m- maybe it's because it's called speed dating... [ he waves a hand about dismissively. ] Nevermind.

But, no, I agree. I'm not going to complain about a break. [ he laughs. ] It is a bit much, but these chocolates aren't half bad.

Do you have a favorite food?

Re: for coyote.

[undressedforsuccess]

Heh, I guess "anything other than the free fridge food" wouldn't count, huh? Honestly I don't remember enough to know -- I tried black forest cake the other day, and it was pretty good.

What about you?

Re: for coyote.

[puzzlers]

I don't think the hosts thought this one through. Answering questions about ourselves isn't the easiest thing to do when we don't know a whole lot.

But, hm, hamburgers! A- And anything sweet. [ he says as he noms another chocolate. ] Black forest cake sounds delicious though! Was that from the cafe?

Re: for coyote.

[undressedforsuccess]

Or the jerkasses are trying to rub it in.

Yeah, I think so––it was part of a Live, pep!pep!'s Wednesday brought it to me.

Re: for coyote.

[puzzlers]

I wouldn't put something like that past them.

You said you liked it, right? Would you ever consider going to the cafe, if you haven't already? There is a ton of sweet stuff there to try.

Re: for coyote.

[undressedforsuccess]

Cutesy frou-frou type stuff ain't my thing, but if it was with Wild City, or friends, or whatever, sure. Food's better when you have it together, right?

Re: for coyote.

[puzzlers]

So what is your thing then? And anything's better with friends and unitmates!

Re: for coyote.

[undressedforsuccess]

I started a fight club at school once.

for maki.

[puzzlers]

Hey Maki.

[ this isn't too much different from their get together at the cafe, so no big deal, right? r- right! ]

How have you been?

[rollplayinghouse]

...About how you can imagine. It's been up and down.

How about you...?

[puzzlers]

It's been about the same.

[ bad. less bad. ]

Did you have fun at the sleepover?

[rollplayinghouse]

...It was okay. I didn't actually sleep downstairs with everyone, but I did bake some cookies and get to know a few people.

[puzzlers]

It wasn't a total bust then. I'm glad.

I'm, ah, also assuming that you and, uhm, King had fun moving the couch... [ doesn't want to think about what may or may not have taken place after. ]

[rollplayinghouse]

Ah... Y-Yeah. That was... nice.

[///. WHATEVER MAY OR MAY NOT HAVE HAPPENED]

Though, ah, that reminds me... I thought of something good for the three of us to do.

[puzzlers]

[ he offers her a smile. ] At least things are starting to pick up. And this game isn't so bad.

[ MOVING ON. ]

Oh yeah? And what's that! [ jumps at the change in subject. ]

[rollplayinghouse]

[yes subject change]

Well, you know how you were talking about using speed and Verticality to jump rooftops? What if we tried something like that with a motorcycle?

[puzzlers]

I remember. [ ... ] Oooh! I think that sounds like a TON of fun. We could all probably fit on one bike too, since I... don't think we'd be able to do it for more than one, ah, successfully.

But that sounds like a great idea, and I can't imagine King saying no. Let's do it!

[rollplayinghouse]

Yeah, I was thinking it would be hard to coordinate more than one. It would probably work fine without super speed, too, but we may as well... right?

I'll pack a picnic, and we can stop and eat on a roof somewhere once we've flown around the city a few times.

[puzzlers]

I might be able to get a side car for the bike, but I really doubt we'll have trouble fitting. But, yes, might as well. [ smiles! ]

I can help, if you like.

[rollplayinghouse]

Mm, I'm fine all piling onto the bike if you are.

And that would be nice. What kind of picnic stuff should we get...?
