[ 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! ]

[resonantblue]

You seem nice, so I hope you'll do this with me~...

[...picks up a card from the table, then after reading it QUICKLY PUTS IT DOWN as if she's trying to pretend she wasn't reading from it]

What's the craziest thing you've ever done?

[foolishjourney]

Ah...? Sure.

[at the question, with no hint of hesitation:]

Shot myself in the head to summon forth a manifestation of my soul.

[resonantblue]

[foolishjourney]

I'd show you, but I don't know if I can memory replay up here.

[resonantblue]

Um... well, I—don't think I can begin to understand from that sentence alone! Show me later so I can stop thinking that you hurt yourself really badly for no reason.

[foolishjourney]

[pats her head gently]

It's okay, it was a magic gun.

[resonantblue]

[uwah]

Magic gun?

[foolishjourney]

I'm pretty sure it's just designed to make you feel like you're gonna die, not actually kill you. No big deal. I got used to it after a while.

[resonantblue]

When people die here, they feel like they die even though they don't actually die, right?

[foolishjourney]

Well... I think they do actually die, it's just not permanent usually.

Though I guess that opens up the conversation on what constitutes "death".

[resonantblue]

That's... complicated! Very complicated!

[foolishjourney]

[sage nod]

Much too complicated.

[resonantblue]

Yeah... b-back to the game. Um, do you want to ask a question, or do you want me to ask another since that got weird?

[foolishjourney]

How about you answer the same question you asked me?

[resonantblue]

The craziest thing I've done? Me? I'm, uh...

[insert a very long pause]

...really normal!

[foolishjourney]

No one here is really normal.

[resonantblue]

Oh, true...

Um.

The craziest thing I've done... the craziest thing I've done!

...

Does permanently sharing a body with someone else count?

[foolishjourney]

[:0]

That's not crazy, but it is kind of cool. Or maybe kind of awful. A little of both, perhaps?

[resonantblue]

A... little bit of both... but it's really not so bad!

[foolishjourney]

Do you both have different names?

Actually, I haven't even offered my name. I'm Lily, for the record.

[resonantblue]

Pretty...! I'm Song, and the person I share my body with is Silence. It's been nice meeting you, by the way!

[foolishjourney]

It's nice to meet you, too.

[gentle smile, since she's very sweet]

How will I tell you both apart? Do you act very differently?

[resonantblue]

We act really different. Silence is kind of nice, only, she's really serious and dry. It's hard to tell when she's being nice or just... herself?
