[ 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! ]

...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...?

[puzzlers]

I'm alright with it.

We could make sandwiches. I think that might be the simplest thing. [ tap tap taps his chin. ] But a rooftop BBQ could be fun.

[rollplayinghouse]

I was thinking sandwiches, and some kind of sweet for dessert. Maybe tea or something.

[puzzlers]

Hm. Brownies. Cupcakes. Pie. I think tea would go good with all of those, so I guess it just depends what you feel like baking. Do you have a favorite dessert to make?

[rollplayinghouse]

Cake and cookies are always good... but sometimes it's fun to try something more complicated, like pastries. Especially if it's for someone in particular.

[puzzlers]

Have you ever made those cream filled pastries?

[rollplayinghouse]

There are a lot of different cream filled pastries... but if you mean eclairs, I made them for A, once.

[puzzlers]

Oh, hm, well I'm not sure which I had, but they had been delicious.

[ he's still working his way through all of the desserts at the cafe. ]

[rollplayinghouse]

Well, let me know if you have any special requests.

[puzzlers]

Sure! and if there's anything you'd like me to make you should let me know too. I don't want you doing all the work.

[rollplayinghouse]

Well, if you want to take the sandwiches and I'll take the desserts, I wouldn't complain.

[puzzlers]

Sure, that sounds good to me. I can even drag King into the prep too.

[rollplayinghouse]

Sounds good. We should plan for that soon, then.

[puzzlers]

We should catch a short after this game and before the next, so maybe we can do it then... sooner rather than later.

[rollplayinghouse]

Yeah. Who knows what will happen next.

[she didn't mean to make that sound quite as dark as it did]
