[ 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! ]

This is a pretty good game to start out with, then! Way better than mine, anyway. I'm Kai--it looks like this...

[ pulls out a marker and scribbles an X onto one of the cards ]

How about you?

[justpure]

[He looks down at the card...]

Hm. I'm not sure if the staff will take kindly to your vandalism, but that's an interesting way to spell "Kai." My name is spelled out in Katakana. A Japanese alphabet reserved for foreign words and the like.

Now... What was your first game like? Do you wish to tell me?

[liftoft]

Yeah--it's greek actually. It looks like the english X, and the rest of Alcheme's all got english-letter names!

But my first game was this awful one where we turned into monsters and uh, tried to eat each other.

[justpure]

Hm. That's a rather interesting theme for your unit.

[He'll have to look it up after the game.]

... Oh. Dear. I'm not entirely sure how that counts as a game, but that's all in the past now, yes?

[liftoft]

Yeah... there's actually a bunch of them that're like that. It's not a "game", it's just them tryin' to get us to hurt each other.

--Ah, anyway... how about a better question!

[justpure]

Hm... Well, I suppose being forced to kill by a higher power is more forgivable than killing of your own accord.

Moving on, then. Perhaps you could ask me something?

[He slides the cards over to you.]

[liftoft]

I dunno about that. That's kinda the thing we all keep goin' back and forth over. But sure, lemme see..

[ picks up a card and grimaces ]

Uh, "What body part seems tastiest".

[justpure]

. . .

Chance must be playing a cruel joke on us... Unless you were not referring to human body parts.

[liftoft]

It doesn't say, so you can probably do whatever with it.

[justpure]

In that case, while I am not a butcher, I think you could attempt to eat the muscular parts of an animal first. Presumably in the legs?

[liftoft]

Huh, you think? I always thought it was the fatty parts that were supposed to be the most delicious. Muscles would be the total opposite!

[justpure]

Perhaps... But muscles are more nourishing, yes?

[liftoft]

Haha! Only if you manage to choke 'em down, when they're tasteless and tough!

Anyway, your turn, ask me somethin'!

[justpure]

That's what cooking and seasoning is for...

[Moving on. He'll shuffle the deck and... Discarding one card...]

"Are you more of a morning person or a night person?"
