[ 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! ]

Understandable.

But what about for fun?

[criminaljustice]

... I feel like this is a trap.

[just gonna be honest]

[searingedgelord]

You don't trust me?

[She's teasing.]

[criminaljustice]

[that earns a huff of a laugh]

It's just embarrassingly simple.

[searingedgelord]

That's not bad is it?

[criminaljustice]

No.

... people I care about and me just hanging out, eating curry, drinking coffee...

[searingedgelord]

That suits you, I think. It's cute.

[criminaljustice]

... so is that you saying I'm cute?

[you walked right into this]

[searingedgelord]

[But what if she's ok with admitting it]

Yeah. You're cute.

[criminaljustice]

... damn, I can't even say you're cuter and not be lame about it.

[GUESS WE'LL JUST GO WITH THAT.

and draw a card]

"What's the scariest thing you've ever done?"

[searingedgelord]

[she’s not cute tho!]

Scary for me or for other people?

[criminaljustice]

[says you!]

Scary for you.

[searingedgelord]

[.....Hmmmm]


...Admitting how I felt about Oni, I guess.

[Which might seem stupid but look. Feelings are scary?? Especially soft feelings.]

[criminaljustice]

[... oh.

yeah.]

... yeah, something like that is... really scary.

[searingedgelord]

Yeah, it is.

[criminaljustice]

... I never did get to apologize. For back when you said feelings were hard and I said they weren't?

Sorry, I was... really stupid, then.

[feelings are hard, especially because they hurt a lot]

[searingedgelord]

You don't have to apologize for that. You just had a different perspective at the time.

[criminaljustice]

Yeah, but I didn't have to go about it the way I did.

[searingedgelord]

It wasn’t that bad. But it’s okay. I was sort of envious. I wished it could be as easy for me.

[criminaljustice]

[huffs a bit, running a hand through his hair]

Think I was just deluding myself that it was easy for me. Maybe.

[searingedgelord]

Yeah?

[Joker you have messed up your hair. Reaches over to pet it and try to smooth it down. Possibly this is just an excuse for hair pets since she doesn’t succeed in fixing it much.]

[criminaljustice]

[just gonna lean into it, not even gonna fight it.]

Mm...

... you know, North on Wild City taught me how to braid hair. I could try practicing on yours sometime, if you want.

[searingedgelord]

...I’d like that.

[criminaljustice]

[yessss excuse to hairpet Silk get]

Guess I'll stock up for that.

[searingedgelord]

Let me know when you're ready.
