[ 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! ]

[ Well that sure is not an answer he was expecting. ]

...Do you mind if I ask—how do you know of it? From the games here?

[deicider]

[Cardigan carries on, unconcerned.]

No, I'm an assassin. I know a lot about politics, too. The two tend to go hand in hand.

[iamverybadass]

[ It's not like he can really judge when half his team is also like this, and as far as he knows Cardi's done way less murder here. ]

Because of the information you have to gather on targets?

[deicider]

Normally, yes, but I had other investments.

What is your favorite thing to learn about in your spare time?

[iamverybadass]

... I'm not sure. I've enjoyed learning about electronics and how to build and repair them, but I don't know if I'd call it my favorite. Most of my studying is spent on skills that I believe will be useful in the future.

[deicider]

Like what?

[iamverybadass]

Medicine and first aid, lock picking, subway systems, construction... Things like that.

[deicider]

Mm, that is all pretty useful. I've been teaching myself how to make a bow.

[iamverybadass]

...For fun? Or do you need one for something?

[deicider]

Just for fun. I would buy a gun if I needed a projectile.

[iamverybadass]

Hm. Well, I cannot fault you for that. It would be an interesting test of craftsmanship.

[deicider]

It has been.

Did you end up speaking to Hiryuu?

[iamverybadass]

I did, but not about what we discussed. All of that was...exhausting...

And I needed to speak with her about Leviathan first. There were more immediate concerns to deal with.

[deicider]

Exhausting is a good way to put it. But it looks like your work will pay off.

[tips their head, frowning.]

Did something happen to him?

[iamverybadass]

....I was worried after he attacked Asmodeus during the recent graduation, and he was not taking me seriously. I knew he would listen to Hiryuu though.

[deicider]

I see. I need to speak with him, too. Someone told me he might be interested in weapons training.

[iamverybadass]

He has not mentioned it to me, but it would not surprise me. He will appreciate any skill that helps him protect his princess.

[deicider]

Well, I'm happy to help with that.

[iamverybadass]

You will make his entire week.

What are you planning to teach him?

[deicider]

I'll need to talk to him, first. Some weapons I don't know as well, like pole arms.

[iamverybadass]

I am sure there is something you'll be able to teach him. Even just another person to practice with has its benefits.
