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! ]

No, I mean about people not really caring about stuff in your background?

[liftoft]

Nah, there's for sure some stuff people care about! I just meant, there's stuff people ask that they don't really need or wanna know the real answer to, and the truth wouldn't be worth tellin' them, so why not have fun with it?

[rollwillpowercheck]

Putting aside whether or not they want the real answer, because unless it's, like, smalltalk at a party, I think they probably do... it sounds like you're actually a pretty private person. That's a little unexpected.

[liftoft]

I dunno. If people wanna know about me that's cool, but more like, all that stuff definitely isn't what's most interesting about me!

[rollwillpowercheck]

Is what's interesting about you the truth? Or just the parts you want other people to know about?

[liftoft]

Those don't gotta be two different things.

[rollwillpowercheck]

They don't have to be, but when you talk about making things up and not wanting to share things that aren't "interesting"...

[shrugs]

Part of being friends with someone is getting to know even the "boring" parts of them.

[liftoft]

Wouldn't you rather have interesting friends?

[rollwillpowercheck]

No one's interesting 100% of the time.

[liftoft]

Sure... but nobody's around one hundred percent of the time, either. So those two times might as well overlap!

Anyway, you should tell me about your answer to the card, 'cause I've been wondering about that kinda stuff and I wanna know what you think!

[rollwillpowercheck]

That sounds more like a performance than a friendship... but all right.

[sigh]

My answer is "both."

[liftoft]

[ shhhhh bro you know he on AlcheME ]

Huh. How's that work?

[rollwillpowercheck]

[surely even alcheMEs have people they're real friends with!!]

Well, it really depends on the situation...? Personally, I'm more into other kinds of dom/sub stuff, but sometimes a little pain can add extra excitement. And if I'm the one causing it, I guess it's really more about the reactions than the actual pain.

[hope you didn't expect him to have any sort of filter at all about sexual preferences.]

[liftoft]

[ he's a little pink, but looks more honestly curious and interested than anything--he doesn't need to be flustered when it's not directed at him ]

Sure... I guess that makes sense. What's "other stuff"?

[rollwillpowercheck]

I think "control" is the easiest way to sum it up. It really does have to be under the right circumstances, though!

[liftoft]

Hmm...

[ seems to be honestly considering this information ]

[rollwillpowercheck]

You look like you're thinking pretty hard.

[liftoft]

Aha..! I guess so. I've been trying to figure out how people...uh, figure that kinda stuff out!

[rollwillpowercheck]

Well--

[BUZZER...]

Whoops. There it goes.

[liftoft]

[ !!!!! shit ]

Ah, jeez... guess so...I'll just have to come find you later!

[ so they can keep talking about Anubis' kinks! ]

[rollwillpowercheck]

[o-oh boy...?]

Okay! Have fun with the rest of the game!

[liftoft]

Yeah, you too! Thanks a lot for talkin' to me about this stuff!
