[ 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! ]

[forgottenmercy]

I, ah, see. I am sorry if, ah, my answer was not helpful.

[resonantblue]

Do not apologize. Silence has not finished interrogating you.

Now, rank those friends.

[forgottenmercy]

...I, ah, am a solitary person...?

[resonantblue]

...ah.

Just say you are friendless.

[forgottenmercy]

I, ah, am, as far as I am aware.

[resonantblue]

In that case, Silence cannot ask you about friends.

[looks through the cards, hmm]

[forgottenmercy]

Friendship is, ah, difficult to quantify. Or, ah, define.

[resonantblue]

I understand that well.

[aha, found an inspirational card]

—if you do not have friends, you must have enemies, right?

[forgottenmercy]

I, ah, likely do. Here, or where I came from?

[resonantblue]

Here.

[forgottenmercy]

...by association, I am certain.

[resonantblue]

Association? With who?

[forgottenmercy]

My, ah, unit.

I do very little that would, ah, provoke ire on my own.

[resonantblue]

...I once heard that sensitIV reopened scars. It resulted in decapitation.

Is that right?

[forgottenmercy]

[nods] At a game that was a trial. I was, ah, not present to know much more than what I was told later.

[resonantblue]

Trial game... I will remember that.

Have you ever used your abilities like that? To hurt someone?

[forgottenmercy]

[shakes his head] The only time I, ah, have used that particular ability was to help replace eyes.

I would, ah, not use that ability to hurt someone unless I was defending myself.

[resonantblue]

...then you are a good person. Thank you.

[forgottenmercy]

I, ah, try to be. [fills a cup of lemonade for her.]

[resonantblue]

[blinks]

Thank you. Just because I called you a good person does not mean you have to pour me a drink.

[she's still taking the cup of lemonade though]

[forgottenmercy]

I should have, ah, poured you one before. I am sorry for forgetting my manners.

[resonantblue]

...that is fine. Silence may have rushed you with her questions.

[taking a sip of her drink as the buzzer sounds the end of the ~date~]

[forgottenmercy]

I hope that my answers were, ah, useful. Good luck with the rest of the game. [gracefully rises.]
