[ 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! ]

Camellia. It's nice to meet you too.

Nn, this is my first week actually.

[irregular]

Really, your first week? Then this is your first game, right? I guess it's not such a bad one to start with. Mine was... you know I'm not sure I can remember? But it was probably something dumb.

[letgrow]

This is my second game actually.

[irregular]

Oh, huh. My mistake, sorry. Shoulda remembered where we were. Oh, you wanna take your chances with the cards or just have a conversation? I've not had a lotta luck with those.

[letgrow]

Just a conversation is fine! I'm just glad for another game like this where I just get to meet new people.

[irregular]

Me too, actually... I've been sorta sticking to my unit since I got here, but that's starting to feel like it's not such a great plan when one of 'em's C and I need normal friends. Nothing against the guy, don't get me wrong, but... I'd kinda like to get to know people who don't leave a trail of Furbies everywhere they go, too.

[letgrow]

What’s a “furby”?

[irregular]

Back home it's a kids' toy. Over here... Christ, I don't even know. But C has about eight hundred of them and he leaves them everywhere and still has eight hundred left. I swear to God I'm gonna open the fridge some morning and find one staring at me over an egg carton.

[letgrow]

W-why so many? That sounds like far too many.

[irregular]

It is, and I'm not sure I've ever had the nerve to ask? Maybe he's raising an army. Or they're his mutant children or something. But it's C... so it's better not to know. You met him yet?

[letgrow]

I haven’t. He sounds very lively though.

[irregular]

Kinda, yeah...! Anyway. he's on AlcheMe same as me. He's kinda short, needs his hair brushed, usually wears a scarf... he's kinda hard to miss most of the time. Anyway, if he tries to give you food, don't eat it.

[letgrow]

U-understood!

[irregular]

He's not a bad guy, you know? He's just... he plays a lot of pranks.

[letgrow]

I’m sure there’s bound to be something you can enjoy together at least? What sort of things do you like?

[irregular]

Me? Oh... sports, mainly. I think I'm all right at soccer. What about you?

[letgrow]

Gardening. Of course.

[irregular]

Really? Maybe that's why they put you on the flower team, then.

[letgrow]

Mm, it was meant to be.
