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! ]

Wednesday

[avestan]

Yo. Wednesday, right?

Re: Wednesday

[wonderlandgirl]

Um... y-yes?

[She is trying not to look too terrified and not doing a very good job of it.]

Wednesday's fine. Um, do you... what should I call you?

[is 'Doodleman' really okay oh help I am overthinking. everything.

[Please don't let me get murdered.]

Re: Wednesday

[avestan]

It's D☆☆dl☆m☆n. Just Doodle is fine if you can't say the stars.

Re: Wednesday

[wonderlandgirl]

Um... thank you. Doodle? I'll... go with that if that's okay.

[So uh

[what does she say

[can't exactly lead off by asking if he's done any good murdering lately and/or enquiring about his thoughts on Levi.]

Should I pick a card? Maybe that will--

[--not actually help in any way at all. Uh.

[She turns it over to show him. It reads, What’s your worst habit? and

[is this actually going to get us away from the whole 'murder' thing?]

Re: Wednesday

[avestan]

[laughs as he reads the card, but then notices her expression and raises his eyebrows]

...Are you scared of me?

Re: Wednesday

[wonderlandgirl]

Um--!

[She swallows. Drops the card.]

S-sorry... We didn't have the greatest introduction.

Re: Wednesday

[avestan]

Haha, wow. That's honestly kinda flattering.

Re: Wednesday

[wonderlandgirl]

Flattering...?

[Okay, this started out scary and now it's getting confusing and scary. Like a math final, only with murder as well as equations.]

I... I'm sorry, I don't know what I'm supposed to be saying to you right now...! Why?

Re: Wednesday

[avestan]

Well, I don't think anyone else here would consider me scary! 'Cause even though I talk a lot about wanting to kill people, I'm actually really bad at it.

Re: Wednesday

[wonderlandgirl]

But...

[Levi.

[Wednesday fidgets. She doesn't really want to bring that all up again: her desire to sleep tonight is that strong, at least. The problem is - well, it's all been dragged up again anyway, hasn't it?]

Then... what happened to Lucifel? I - don't want to think you'd hurt Rise-chan. But...

[He didn't have a head any more.

[Thanks for that addition to absolutely all my nightmares.]

Re: Wednesday

[avestan]

[his eyebrows raise again]

He's a special case. I've got a class advantage against him that makes me do extra damage.

[annnnnd he's casually not mentioning anything about sunrise]

Re: Wednesday

[wonderlandgirl]

A what...?

[That... doesn't make any sense.]

I'm sorry. I don't understand.

Re: Wednesday

[avestan]

Don't worry about it. What's important is that he's weak to me in a way no one else is.

Re: Wednesday

[wonderlandgirl]

But why take advantage of that...? Couldn't you just have let him be?

Re: Wednesday

[avestan]

I'm never gonna pass up an opportunity to kill someone when I can.

Re: Wednesday

[wonderlandgirl]

... I can't understand that at all.

[She--

[--honestly wants to get up and leave. But it's rude, but the game, but don't antagonize him: Wednesday stays put.]

He didn't deserve that.

[She just can't keep quiet, either.]

Re: Wednesday

[avestan]

Do one deserves anything.

Re: Wednesday

[wonderlandgirl]

Then why do you have to make things worse? Aren't they bad enough without - don't we all suffer enough without people like you deliberately causing more of it?

Re: Wednesday

[avestan]

...Believe me, I'd put everyone here out of their suffering if I could.

Re: Wednesday

[wonderlandgirl]

We don't need help like that!

Re: Wednesday

[avestan]

What makes you think I'd care about what you need?
