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! ]

Night in, definitely.

[Considers.]

Let me guess: night out?

Re: for thorn.

[420blazeit]

Nailed it.

But I can appreciate a good night in.

Even I need a break from acting like a lunatic. [ chuckles. ]

Re: for thorn.

[justfuckingtryit]

[Checks the next card - passes it. Checks another.]

[Stops at the third.]

What is something you wish you could change in your world?

Re: for thorn.

[420blazeit]

[ she is super curious about all of those cards. ]

I wish we didn't regularly get attacked by murder robots.

What about you? Want to change anything?

Re: for thorn.

[justfuckingtryit]

Less destruction of cities on a catastrophic scale.

Re: for thorn.

[420blazeit]

[ sits up a bit straight, because that hits close to home. ]

It seems like a lot of places would be better off without crap like that happening. Sorry you had to deal with that sort'a stuff.

Re: for thorn.

[justfuckingtryit]

Lucky me, I haven't had to yet. I just got a sneak preview of what's coming.

Re: for thorn.

[420blazeit]

...oh.

The ups and downs of taking memories. [ looks aside. ]

Re: for thorn.

[justfuckingtryit]

Pretty much.

[Grabs a new card.]

What's your weapon of choice?

Re: for thorn.

[420blazeit]

My heart weapon, though back home I carried a gun, ...

I doubt my mech counts. [ laughs. ] How about you? Favorite weapon!

Re: for thorn.

[justfuckingtryit]

I don't know if I have one. The only one I've remembered using is a spear.

That felt pretty good.

Re: for thorn.

[420blazeit]

We should spar sometime. We could test out some weapons and see what we feel most comfortable with. It could help hone our skills too. I don't think I did much hand-to-hand combat, so I could use the practice.

Re: for thorn.

[justfuckingtryit]

...I'd be up for that. I could use a sparring partner.

Re: for thorn.

[420blazeit]

Me too! We could hit the gym in the am. Do some stretches and then take it outside to practice. I wonder if they have practice swords there or if we're going to have to buy them.

Re: for thorn.

[justfuckingtryit]

Might as well bring something, just to be sure. Otherwise we could get out there and not have anything.

Re: for thorn.

[420blazeit]

Works for me. Want to start tomorrow?

Re: for thorn.

[justfuckingtryit]

Tomorrow's good.

...not too early?

Re: for thorn.

[420blazeit]

I'm down for whenever. We don't have to get up at the butt crack of dawn, but maybe before nine?

Re: for thorn.

[justfuckingtryit]

Before nine's ass o'clock.

[Makes a face.]

Fine, 8:30.

Re: for thorn.

[420blazeit]

[ snorts. ] Fiiiine. Want to go 9:30?

Re: for thorn.

[justfuckingtryit]

Deal.

Re: for thorn.

[420blazeit]

At least this wasn't a complete waste of time.

Re: for thorn.

[justfuckingtryit]

They put out free shit, no one's dead yet, and I've got a new sparring partner. I'll take it.

Re: for thorn.

[420blazeit]

Right. [ going to pop a couple of chocolates into her mouth. ]

Not sure chocolate and lemonade go together, but [ shrug. ] free is free. Something something gift horse.

Re: for thorn.

[justfuckingtryit]

Gift horse?
