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! ]

Re: Cobalt

[avestan]

Sounds good to me.

[picking out a random one- and laughs as he reads it]

Oh man. "What are you most likely to go to jail for?"

Re: Cobalt

[we_meet_again]

No jail and no police, so, realistically? Nothing. But if we're talking about what we're most likely to get slapped with consequences for, probably intentionally playing a game wrong out of spite.


Okay, your turn.

[Picks a card. "Have you ever killed anyone?"

...

Picks another card.]

"What do you think about public displays of affection?"

Re: Cobalt

[avestan]

Got no problem with them, but I'd rather do that kinda stuff in private.

"If you were to advertise yourself on a billboard, what would your slogan be?"

Re: Cobalt

[we_meet_again]

I don't know what I have to advertise, so maybe something like "Hey, I'm Cobalt, bring me food!" and then, like, a picture of me giving a thumbs-up. [demonstrates, making this face]

"Are you more of a morning person or a night person?"

Re: Cobalt

[avestan]

That's not a bad slogan. Wouldn't mind having something along those lines myself.

I'm definitely more of a night owl. I don't like the sun all that much.

Re: Cobalt

[we_meet_again]

More at home with the moon? With the moon in your home?

Re: Cobalt

[avestan]

Well, it is basically a family member.

Re: Cobalt

[we_meet_again]

Is it? Does it have a name?

Re: Cobalt

[avestan]

Just the moon. But it's Dia and Red's mother, apparently.

Re: Cobalt

[we_meet_again]

Is that right? Does that make them siblings?

Who's their father?

Re: Cobalt

[avestan]

They're half-siblings. Red's dad is the ocean and Dia's is a star or something.

Re: Cobalt

[we_meet_again]

Amazing! I have no idea how that works, but I've seen a lot of impossible things since I've been here, so sure! Why not!

Re: Cobalt

[avestan]

I don't really get it either, but who am I to complain about something being hard to understand!

Re: Cobalt

[we_meet_again]

I think we can all say that to some degree.

[Picking another card]

"What's your worst pet peeve?"

Re: Cobalt

[avestan]

It's on my profile, right? I get really pissed off at people who talk a lot about justice.

Re: Cobalt

[we_meet_again]

[Pulls up his profile]

Huh. So it does.

What does the rest of this say? I don't recognize this script.

Re: Cobalt

[avestan]

It's a passage from the Avesta, the holy book of the Zoroastrian religion.

"Then the ruffian looked at me; the ruffian Angra Mainyu, the deadly, wrought against me nine diseases, and ninety, and nine hundred, and nine thousand, and nine times ten thousand diseases."
