[ 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! ]

Oh, that's true... I wonder if I was interested in things like this before I came here...?

Do you like it?

[ the lemonade, she means ]

[iamverybadass]

You may have been...

I do. I will have to see if the cafe has any after this. Do you like the flavor too, or just the vitamin C?

[constellationprize]

I don't really know. I don't think I'd mind if I had to keep drinking it...?

[iamverybadass]

I don't think that's the same as liking it...

Do you have any favorite foods?

[constellationprize]

I don't really know! Um -

I think I like spicy things?

[iamverybadass]

Like a good curry?

[constellationprize]

I don't know if I've had curry before! What is it?

[iamverybadass]

It's a style of dish, like...soup or stew. They use a lot of spices to bring out complex flavors, and many of the best ones have hot spices.

[constellationprize]

- I want to try it!

[iamverybadass]

You can buy some from the points shop, right? You should try a pumpkin curry first. It pairs well with the spice.

[constellationprize]

Thank you for the recommendation! I'll try some when I get home...

What do you like eating?

[iamverybadass]

I like smores a lot. Wild City likes to get them after bad games because they're easy to make at our fire pit.

[constellationprize]

That was the marshmallow sandwich I ate while I was there, wasn't it...?

[iamverybadass]

Yes, with the chocolate and sweet cracker? It's good, right?

[constellationprize]

[ slightly dismayed, ]

It's really sweet...

[iamverybadass]

...So you don't like it?

[constellationprize]

I don't know? I would eat it again, but it's not really the same as drinking another glass of lemonade...

[iamverybadass]

Obviously. There's nothing sour in a smore.

[constellationprize]

But they're not painful to eat, or anything, so . . .

... How do I know if I don't like it?

[iamverybadass]

If you don't want to eat it then you probably don't like it. Or if you would rather eat something else.

[constellationprize]

Well, I would probably eat something else first, so maybe I don't like them...?

[iamverybadass]

Maybe...

It could be that you prefer milder sweets. We can get something with less sugar next time you visit.

[constellationprize]

I don't mind trying anything you think I might like! I'm sure it'd be a lot of fun -

[ BZZT. ]

... Oh. Um - I guess that's all...? It was a little longer last time...

[iamverybadass]

Oh.

[ Frowns at the buzzer!! ]

Well. I will see you after the game then. Good luck with the rest of your meetings.

[constellationprize]

Thank you! Good luck, Talon!
