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! ]

Hey. So let's talk about Eichi.

[ ...... he speaks cat that's a predator grin thanks. ]

Is this really okay? Is this how the game goes? [ where's a zrael when you need one ]

Re: shishishishishishishishishishishishi

[purrrnicious]

It's okay, it's getting to know people.

So you guys were friends back home, right?

[ muuu... puffs up in a pout honestly, sinking against the back of the chair that he's definitely not sitting in properly ]

Why does everyone keep asking me about that over and over! [ ffffine... ] We used to be friends.

Re: shishishishishishishishishishishishi

[purrrnicious]

"Used to be"


. . . Or "Still want to be"?

... ... ... [okay.]

if a tower falls, even if everyone picks up all the pieces and slathers concrete in all the gaps, is it really the same as it was before? The shape might be the same, but the cracks are still there, and the foundations aren't as strong as before. More than that the memories still resound deep in the stones that are still left. Even if you're fine with the crumbling stone, what do you do with everything that's left? The intentions behind the siege in the first place? The heartfelt wishes of the conqueror and the conquered? Am I supposed to just ignore how hard he fought to break everything around him? Am I supposed to pretend like I wasn't broken and thrown away? I can, if he wants. If he wants that then I don't mind playing along, but I don't understand it. I don't know if I ever did. I don't actually know how to play chess, even if I really want to play.

[ ... anyways, ]

Is it my turn to ask a question now?

Re: shishishishishishishishishishishishi

[purrrnicious]

[Whoa buddy was that some kind of crisis









scratches at her ear]

You only lay siege to something you want. How hard's that to understand?

[ ........................ -------- ]


It's my turn now, right? I get to ask questions now. [ in a sharper tone, ]

Why do you care so much about whether Tenshi and me are friends?

Re: shishishishishishishishishishishishi

[purrrnicious]

Eh, just small talk. It's a date, right? That's what you do~

Re: shishishishishishishishishishishishi

[composeur]

Is it? [ presses x to doubt ]

You came here of your own volition, claws drawn and poised to tear at an old wound. Isn't it more like you wanted to taste blood? Sorry, but I'm not a shivering rabbit who won't fight back.

Re: shishishishishishishishishishishishi

[purrrnicious]

Whoa, hold up. Talking about friendship is like clawing an old wound bloody? You can’t be serious.

Re: shishishishishishishishishishishishi

[composeur]

-- ha? [ I Don't Know How Relationships And Conversations Are Supposed To Work Anymore And At This Point I'm Too Afraid To Ask ]

...... that's right. It's ridiculous to say something like that. It sounds like some cheap pretentious dialogue from a movie, or a heartbroken schoolgirl writing angrily in her diary. If you want you could just ignore anything I say, you know. I'm the kind of person who doesn't think before I speak, and hardly anything I say ever makes sense.

Re: shishishishishishishishishishishishi

[purrrnicious]

Except it sure sounded like you wanted to fight me because I said the dreaded 'f' word. But yeah, sure, I'll just ignore that.

Re: shishishishishishishishishishishishi

[composeur]

-- Wahaha! Is that what you're worried about? It's fine, it's fine, I always sound like that~ ☆
