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! ]

[ sits with refined posture and offers a shallow bow of greeting ]

Morning.

Oh! Good morning.

[ She offers a bow in turn.]

It's nice to meet you. I don't think I've seen you around before. My name is Kaguya.

It’s nice to meet you as well, Kaguya-shi. You may please call me Harpy. Indeed, I arrived only five nights ago.

I'm pretty new myself, still, but I've had a couple of weeks to start trying to assimilate, a bit.

I hope you've managed to get comfortable, or... at least as comfortable as one can.

Yes. I have had no complaints, and my unit has been very considerate of me. Has Kaguya-shi been struggling...?

Luckily, I've been doing okay, all things considered. My unit has also been very doting, and they've taken good care of me. I feel pretty spoiled, actually.

[They are kind boys.]

I'm glad your experience so far has been positive. This place can be pretty scary sometimes, but... it helps when you have people you can depend on.

Yes. Although I have yet to experience hardships, I have seen that there are things that weigh heavily in the hearts of others. I want to wuickly become more reliable so that they are able to trust me to lessen their burdens.

That's incredibly noble and very admirable. I'm sure your unit feels very lucky to have you.

[ transparently happy Kaguya thinks so, even as she replies with ]

No, since I broke Griffin-kun's arm right away, I think I've been somewhat troublesome to them so far.

Eh...? What.... what happened?

There was a bit of a misunderstanding, and I took something he said to mean that we would be rewarded if we fought... but it has since been cleared up, and his arm was repaired as well.

Aha... well, thank goodness for that. Putting it in the past is probably for the best.

I'd like if old unit grudges could be put aside too, one day...

Ah, another member of your unit did mention something of that nature between our units. I still do not know of the circumstances, but if nothing else, I have heard no bad word against Taisho Roman Revolution since I arrived. If the animosity between us is considered unnecessary to teach the newer members, perhaps one day soon it may have cooled enough to heal.

I'd really like that. And I'm glad to hear that you feel that way! We have four new members on my own unit, and I think we all can agree that getting along would be a lot more pleasant than holding onto grudges that we weren't even here for.

I guess all we can do dis try our best, huh?

Ah, however, I also do not wish to trivialize the feelings of those who came before me and have welcomed me into their home. Whether it would be for the better remains to be seen. But I hope that we can get along as well, Kaguya-shi.

Mm... anyway, should we try the cards? You can draw first if you like.

[It seems nicer than lingering on whatever weird things their units have fought over in the past.]

Mm, then I'll begin.

[ flips one! ]

"What are you most proud about?"

Mm...

This one is hard. I haven't been here long, and I can't really remember my past at home, either.

[ She's thinking... ]

Maybe just trying to switch from the schedule of a night owl to something most people keep. I feel really sleepy during the day, but I've been slowly getting better about it.
