[ 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! ]

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!

Re: Yugi

[avestan]

The names come from a pair of Daevas. They're the demons of Zoroastrianism, servants of Angra Mainyu.

But they're not really as awesome as you think. Compared to the weapons of pretty much any other Servant, they're totally worthless.

Re: Yugi

[puzzlers]

Wait, for real, ...? How come? What does everybody else have that's so great?

Re: Yugi

[avestan]

Well, it's-

[oh whoops there goes the buzzer]

Oh well. I'll tell you after the game if you want.

Re: Yugi

[puzzlers]

Sure. Enjoy the rest of, ah, ...this.

Re: Yugi

[avestan]

You too.
