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! ]

Thorn

[foolmetwice]

[whenever Thorn sits down, Mars just. . . wordlessly hands him a random card from the card deck]

[Which body part seems tastiest?]

[1/2]

[justfuckingtryit]

[Wow. His face sure does take a journey.]

[Surprised -]

Re: Thorn

[justfuckingtryit]

[- and then kind of flushed-]

Re: Thorn

[justfuckingtryit]

[- and finally just. This.]

Who the fuck writes these things?

[foolmetwice]

A cannibal.

[flipping the card around to make a face at the front]

Isn't it like. . . the liver, or something? Because of the nutrients?

[justfuckingtryit]

Who even fucking knows.

I'm going to be gross and say fingernails, cause fingernails still aren't as gross as eating someone's liver.

[foolmetwice]

. . . . . . . . .

I'm picking a new card.

[and he reaches out to do just that before this conversation gets any worse]

[justfuckingtryit]

Any better?

[foolmetwice]

"How do you define love?"

[makes. . . face]

So no, not really.

[justfuckingtryit]

Love's what they fill romance novels with. Done.

[foolmetwice]

Love is a reaction of brain chemicals that make people feel weird ways about other people. It's also everyone's biggest weakness, especially in hell.

Also done. You pick the next one; maybe you'll have better luck.

[justfuckingtryit]

[Flips a card.]

Do you like using props in the bedroom?

[foolmetwice]

[STARES INTO THE DISTANCE]

Classified. Next?

[justfuckingtryit]

Have you ever tied someone up?

[Takes another.]

Have you ever had voyeuristic fantasies?

[Takes a third. Sticks it at the bottom of the stack.]

Your fucking turn.

[foolmetwice]

[SNORTS IN AMUSEMENT. . . and grabs another card]

"When is lying a good thing?"

[justfuckingtryit]

[Considers.]

When it does more good than harm, and telling the truth would cause harm.

[foolmetwice]

[. . . huh]

That's a surprisingly honest response.

[justfuckingtryit]

You saying you'd lie?

[foolmetwice]

Uh, yeah? Or at least avoid saying anything too honest with people I don't know very well.

[so that probably answers the card's question for him]

[justfuckingtryit]

I guess I just don't consider this truth to be harmful.

[foolmetwice]

I guess I don't like to be forced into socializing at ass o'clock in the morning and want to be as contrary and spiteful as possible.

[THAT'S MARS FOR YA]

[justfuckingtryit]

[Snorts.]

Are you sure they didn't put you on the hero team by mistake? Sounds like you were supposed to be on our unit instead of Joker.

[foolmetwice]

[oh my god]

[LAUGHS]

Nah. Joker's a spiteful li'l shit, too. I'm just more honest about it.

[justfuckingtryit]

Well. You've definitely answered that card, by now.

[foolmetwice]

[HA]

Guess that means we should pick a new one?
