[ 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: Yugi

[puzzlers]

About the same, actually.

Last game kind of... sucked a lot, so I'm glad for this? I, ah, think?

Re: Yugi

[avestan]

Right, I heard what happened. My table wasn't quite that bad, but it wasn't exactly great either.

Re: Yugi

[puzzlers]

[ his lips become a tight line as though he's doing his best to keep from losing it. ]

[ conceal, don't feel. ]

I hope this doesn't take that sort of turn. [ sighs. ] No? Sorry. It seems like all the games just suck lately.

Re: Yugi

[avestan]

Yeah. Not just that, feels like there's more dumb shit going on in between games too.

Re: Yugi

[puzzlers]

It's like we can't escape it. A break, an actual break, would be nice...

[ he looks at the food&drink on the table. ] Do you think this stuff is... safe?

Re: Yugi

[avestan]

Only one way to find out.

[grabs a glass and drinks]

Re: Yugi

[puzzlers]

[ -! ]

D- Doodle!

[ ... ]

Do you feel anything weird?

Re: Yugi

[avestan]

Hmm, I feel...

Totally normal.

Re: Yugi

[puzzlers]

[ he stares at the chocolate for a moment and then pops one of them into his mouth. ]

...

Is it bad that I'm surprised nothing's trying to kill us for once?

Re: Yugi

[avestan]

It'd probably be worse if you weren't surprised, by this point.

Re: Yugi

[puzzlers]

I should probably keep my mouth shut though, since the game's only just started.

Re: Yugi

[avestan]

Yeah, there's still plenty of time for it to go bad.

Re: Yugi

[puzzlers]

Let's see what these cards are all ab- ... [ stares at it. ] What food would you prefer someone smell like?

Re: Yugi

[avestan]

...Huh. Can't say that's something I've ever thought about.

Re: Yugi

[puzzlers]

I'm not sure this is something most people think about. [ sets the card down and sliiiides it away. ]

Let's see what else we've got here.

Would you rather be locked in a school or trapped on an island?

I pretty much live in a school [ thanks pep! ] so give me the island.

Re: Yugi

[avestan]

Depends on a bunch of different things, I guess. If the school was totally cut off from the rest of the world or something like that, I'd rather take my chances with the island.

Re: Yugi

[puzzlers]

I don't think I could live as long on an island as I could in a school, but yeahhhh... [ sets the card down. ] I wonder if all of the questions are this, ah, thought provoking.

Re: Yugi

[avestan]

Probably. Seems about par for the course for hell.

[picks out a card and raises his eyebrows as he reads it]

Would you like to be part of a threesome?

Re: Yugi

[puzzlers]

[ FLUSHES A DARK RED. ]

I, ah, h- haha, I mean, well, I guess it'd... depend... l- like with the island the, uh, circumstances. [ dies a little on the inside. ]

What about you?

Re: Yugi

[avestan]

[shrugs]

Likewise, it'd depend on the circumstances. Not really interested in doing that kinda thing with anyone right now.

Re: Yugi

[puzzlers]

I don't think I would either. N- Not now anyway. I'm happy with the way things are. [ but it's always an option??? ]

What's your favorite place to be- [ sighs and sets the card down. ] Weapon of choice.

Re: Yugi

[avestan]

Well, I've got this- [pulls out his knife]

But my actual weapon of choice is a bit different.

Re: Yugi

[puzzlers]

Oh? What is it?

Re: Yugi

[avestan]

It's a pair of daggers shaped like animal claws. Left one's called Tawrich, right one's called Zarich.

The problem is that since I couldn't turn them into spirit form here, they'd be kinda unwieldy to carry around.

Re: Yugi

[puzzlers]

[ he might not know much about weapons, but that pair of daggers sound so cool. ]

Do the names mean something? And that's a shame, because they sound awesome! I bet they made short work of just about anybody that got in your way!
