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! ]

[. . .]

It makes sense.

[muttered a bit quietly, half to himself half to Lily]

I've never really thought about it before.

[foolishjourney]

I haven't thought about it too much either, so you probably don't want to put too much stock in what I say.

[foolmetwice]

Are you kidding? You're way better at the feelings thing than I am.

[part of the reason Mars likes Lily so much, tbqh]

[foolishjourney]

It's all guesses and intuition, mostly.

[foolmetwice]

The only intuitions I have are well-honed battle intuitions and "being an asshole" intuitions.

[drapes across Lily's shoulders, though]

[foolishjourney]

I think you're not giving yourself enough credit.

[foolmetwice]

I think I'm giving myself just the right amount of credit.

[nuzzling into Lily's neck a bit, before he pauses]

. . . hey. . . I want to-- talk about something. Later.

[foolishjourney]

[that earns a little bit of a shiver. tickles!!]

Hm? Of course. Do you want to meet in the lobby once the game is over? We can go take a walk or something.

[foolmetwice]

[. . . cute. . .]

[wraps his arms around Lily from behind and just kind of FLOPS AGAINST HIM like a rag doll]

Yeah. . . I think that'd be great. We can go to the cafe or something.

[foolishjourney]

That works for me—

[DING DING DING ROUND OVER Y'ALL TALKED TOO MUCH]

[foolmetwice]

[OH. DAMN IT]





[dips his head to steal one last kiss before the speed date ends]

[foolishjourney]

[kisses him back!!]

Have fun.

[foolmetwice]

[lingers even after he pulls back, nose brushing against Lily's, fingers tracing the lines of his cheek]

I will. You too, yeah?

[with GREAT DIFFICULTY, he pulls back to give Lily a two-fingered, mock salute. AND THEN HE IS OUT]
