WHO: More idols looking to have a good time
WHERE: Game Tower
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! ]

[Probably should have asked BEFORE it's true.

Shoving the cute little date table roughly in an attempt to topple X over]

[liftoft]

--Wha!!

[ well he didn't see that coming, and his chair does topple back ]

/done

[liftoft]

[ --but the surprise turns into laughter, because why the hell not, and he's barely gotten his feet under him again before he's trying to tackle Intensity at the knees ]

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[They're going to be soaked in lemonade by the end of this date. Hot. I guess.

Also fuck you how dare you go for his knees? He has a very high center of gravity!!!

Which is to say... T I M B E R. And Intensity rolls quickly to the side in an attempt to pin one of X's arms down]

[liftoft]

[ lemonade: the go-to sexy food to drench wrestling boys in. Move over, pudding and jello.

once again, not having a height/leverage advantage over someone is so strange--but damn if he won't do his best! He braces against the ground as best he can and tries to yank away--and pull Intensity along with him ]

If you just wanted to roll around with me, all you had to do was ask y'know!

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[Is... yanked.

Though he does his best to get to his knees so that X can't pin him to the ground]

I don't ask for anything.

From anyone!

[liftoft]

Kinda hot.

[ breathlessly, distracted by trying to find an angle of attack ]

Gonna be hotter the day I make you do it!

[ on his knees doesn't mean Intensity can't be tackled again! Though of course the center of gravity is more in his favor this time ]

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

It'll be a cold day in---

[Oof.

Intensity is also not used to wrestling with someone his height (though most people trounce his noodle ass).

And when X does tackle him, he reflexively tries to elbow him in the gut]

[liftoft]

[ wheezes, jerking inward--but that really just collapses him onto Intensity, since he was mid-tackle. Once he gets his breath back he'll also try to keep hold of Intensity's arm ]

It's snowed here plenty of times already y'know!

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

No more snow when I come into power. Talk about off brand!

[Trying to shove X back a few feet. Inches. Whatever he can get]

[liftoft]

[ Lets himself be pushed back a little, to recenter himself if nothing else ]

So you want a boring, predictable hell? Too afraid to break the mold, huh?

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

Don't mistake control with predictability.

Or maybe I'll do it just to spite you.

[liftoft]

It is predictable though, and that makes it easier to break! C'mon man--how am I supposed to leave you in charge if I gotta worry about stuff like that? I need to know you got all your angles covered!

[ X really isn't a "fighter", in the sense that he has no actual technique here. He's used to just throwing his weight around, literally--which means he's basically just trying to body check Intensity back to the floor ]
