[ 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! ]

[avestan]

Wanna do a card, or should we just talk normally?

[shutthefoxup]

Normally. The cards are either going to be super weird or super boring, there is no in-between.

I can't remember, were you here for the first time they ran this one?

[avestan]

Nope. I didn't even know they'd run this before.

[shutthefoxup]

It wasn't tooooo bad? If they're re-running games, that means 'truth or drink' might be on the horizon too then. Now THAT one was a hot mess.

[avestan]

Wooooooow that sounds fucking terrible.

[shutthefoxup]

It was fucking awful. Can vouch. Nothing like being forced to tell the truth, everyone knowing it and taking advantage of it.

Well....awful for OTHER people. I don't really have any secrets so it's no skin off my back.

[avestan]

Hahaha man I can't wait for that one! By which I mean I'm never coming to the game tower willingly again!

[shutthefoxup]

Bit of warning if you get trapped in that one. Might actually be better to answer than drink. Gets more dangerous the drunker you are.

[avestan]

Ugh, yeah. I know that from the other truth game.

[shutthefoxup]

[Shrugs, sipping his lemonade]

I don't mind telling the truth. The part that rubs me wrong is being forced to do something. There's enough dumb betrayal in this place without your own mouth betraying you too. So! It's just easier to tell the truth from the get go.

[avestan]

Hahah, you're probably right. I'm just not a big fan of being honest.

[shutthefoxup]

Just about specific things or just in general? You seem pretty straight forward about stuff to me?

[avestan]

Hehe, well. Who knows~

[shutthefoxup]

Either way, you won't have to worry tooooo much? Everyone mostly guns for Alcheme during those games.

[avestan]

I mean, I guess that makes sense? It'd be the worst possible kind of game for them specifically.

[shutthefoxup]

Mm, I wound up sitting with B and C for a good chunk of the game just to make sure no one took gross advantage of it.

[avestan]

Whoa, Silver is so reliable...

[shutthefoxup]

I just think it's a dick move to pile on them like that knowing they hate it.

[avestan]

Yeah, it kinda seems like something I'd do if I cared enough.

[shutthefoxup]

Caring is a lot of work. A lot. So much. So very much.

[avestan]

Way too much work for me!

[shutthefoxup]

Caring is a trap. It sneaks up on you whether you want to or not. And once you care, there's not getting away from it.

[avestan]

Ahh, that's way too accurate. I'm going to get depressed.

[shutthefoxup]

It's worth it though. As sappy and gross as that sounds.

Better topic then. Got any fun plans coming up? Your unit always seems pretty lively.

[avestan]

Nothing that I know of right now. Most of our stupid bullshit is spontaneous anyway.
