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! ]

[ sign up here!!! ]

[liftoft]

[ sits down across from King, grin bright ]

Heya! Hope you don't mind me takin' the chance to be on a date with you too.

[puzzlekeeper]

[ hmmmmmmmmmm ]

Do you really need a game for that?

[liftoft]

[ blinks, then grins ]

--I dunno! That's up to you, pretty sure.

[puzzlekeeper]

I think it's up to how much confidence you have, actually.

Griffin

[puzzlekeeper]

You're a face I don't remember seeing before.

Re: Griffin

[gigadevilbreaker]

Well, it's five days old.

Name's Griffin.

Re: Griffin

[puzzlekeeper]

... Five days?

[ A Tokyo-F INFANT ]

Well then, I guess a game like this is the perfect way to amass some new connections.

Re: Griffin

[gigadevilbreaker]

[Just a sweet little baby]

Yeah, we got our marching orders loud and clear earlier. Socialize, get to know potential alliances, all that crap.

[rollplayinghouse]

[Whatever, scoring. It's not her fault none of her favorite units are in her group]

Having fun?

[puzzlekeeper]

[ Well, embarrassing things are much easier to deal with when they're wrapped under a layer of COMPETITION!!!, so... ]

It's not terrible, anyway.

[rollplayinghouse]

I'm not going to complain about not terrible. And this game was okay the last time they did it.

[puzzlekeeper]

Exactly.

So? Had any good dates yet?

Re: King

[dragonheartedgirl]

[ taking a seat across from him. ]

I think I owe you an apology.

Re: King

[puzzlekeeper]

... Okay...

Why, though?

[dragonheartedgirl]

Apparently, hand-feeding people is supposed to be a romantic gesture? And Yugi and I fed each other strawberries at the picnic the other day....

[puzzlekeeper]

[ Oh.

Don't laugh at Hiryuu, she's being very good and earnest - ]

... I see.

Don't worry, I forgive you.

[420blazeit]

[ takes a seat on his lap because she’ll do what she wants. ]

[ grabs some of the cards and starts flipping through them. ]

I had fun the other night. We should do it again sometime. Maybe with a little less liquor.

[ or maybe more! ]

Re: King

[puzzlekeeper]

[ SO FORWARD, MISS D.VA.

But he notably does not shove her off, just shifts to make sure they're both comfortable. ]

You think the liquor was the problem?

[ Consider: sand. And jell-o. ]

Re: King

[420blazeit]

[ you surprised or something, king? ]

I didn't really think anything was the problem.

[ don't hate on the jell-o! ]

Re: King

[puzzlekeeper]

[ Yes. But he shouldn't be. ]

Fair enough.

[ a pause ]

... It was nice.

Re: King

[puzzlers]

King~! Hello. [ sets a hand on the table and leans down peck his cheek. ] I think our ideas for dates are much more fun than this.

Re: King

[puzzlekeeper]

[ He brightens immediately, fingers circling Yugi's wrist. ]

That's no contest at all.

Re: King

[puzzlers]

[ he's going to take a seat in king's lap. ] Not at all. No one even comes close.

Re: King

[puzzlekeeper]

[ Wrapping his arms around Yugi's waist to pull him in closer. ]

Good. If they did, I'm pretty sure I would have to challenge them.
