[ 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 think you'd get called a coward first.

[foolmetwice]

What the fuck is so cowardly about jumping off of a balcony?

[that's like max level daredevil shit right there]

[criminaljustice]

Escaping a not-even-a-date.

[foolmetwice]

It's not escaping the date when jumping off the balcony is the date.

Duh.

[criminaljustice]

[... squiiints a bit because pretty sure this is a tease and Mars, pls]

Uh huh.

[foolmetwice]

. . . what? Why are you looking at me like that?

[it's not a purposeful tease, that's for sure]

[criminaljustice]

[how are you so oblivious tho

pulls a card instead]

... "What do you think about public displays of affection?"

[foolmetwice]

Gross and stupid. Next.

[hm]

[criminaljustice]

Wow, you're already at the bottom of the list and you're the first one to turn up.

[foolmetwice]

[innocently, as though he KNOWS that he's being a li'l shit and is absolutely doing it on purpose]

That's okay. I'm not playing to win.

[criminaljustice]

[obviously that's the case, also because dating things

... tossing card down]

Well, I've done my part for the game, at least.

[foolmetwice]

You seem so disgruntled.

[picks up the card, toying with it between his fingers]

And you never answered your own question.

[criminaljustice]

[holds up hands in a showy shrug]

It's a mystery~

[foolmetwice]

[STICKS OUT HIS TONGUE]

[. . . . . .]

[and then just kind of stares at he card before he shrugs and slips it back into the pile]

. . . anyway, I guess they aren't so bad. I guess.

[picking another card as he gives his honest response]

[criminaljustice]

[and now curious about that card. jiiii.]

Maybe try it out with Lily sometime.

[foolmetwice]

[IT WAS THE PDA CARD, NOT ANYTHING NEW]

Why? So you can watch?

You also say that like I haven't already.

[handing Joker the new card he just picked-- How do you define love?]

[criminaljustice]

[........ this card is rude.]

I can't really be sure what you get up to.

[foolmetwice]

[that's why I picked it]

I generally like to keep my affairs at least a little private.

[wags the card at Joker]

Not answering?

[criminaljustice]

[shoving the hand with the card down on the table.]

My answer's "a willingness to sacrifice or fight for another's happiness".

[though there's a second part to that but fuck no he's not incriminating himself further]

[foolmetwice]

[lays his hand flat against the table, not pulling it away from Joker's touch]

. . . that's all?

[somehow, he doesn't buy it]

[criminaljustice]

[drawing hand back himself]

Well, that's the easy to understand stuff, anyway.

[foolmetwice]

[. . . draws his hand back as well, dropping it into his lap]

Well, you've still got more of an answer for that question than I do.

[criminaljustice]

Maybe.

[pulling a new card

... snerks.]

[foolmetwice]

. . . what?

[what's so funny!!]

[criminaljustice]

[holds up his card--Do you think you're a good kisser?]

Maybe when you have Charm working for you?
