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! ]

Kaguya

[softlyfalling]

Ah, Kaguya, it's good to see you again—although, ah, this wasn't how I expected our units to end up socializing next?

[sunflowering]

[ That earns a laugh! ]

Right? It's kind of unusual. But maybe something good can come of it? I'd be happy if we could all just put the past behind us and get to know one another better. I'd feel much better if our units could work together, rather than oppose one another at every turn.

[softlyfalling]

Ah—I would like that. Even if some will never be close friends... ah, I think we've got enough forces opposing us in this place to not need enemies. Friendly rivals, at least.

[sunflowering]

I agree. There are forces at play that I'd much rather devote my negativity toward, rather than that of another unit.

[softlyfalling]

Ah... the producers, you mean?

[sunflowering]

Yes! Exactly. I'd much rather we work together in showing them just how we feel about our situation instead of in-fighting. We're all in the same boat, after all.

[softlyfalling]

Ah, it's true. Er—I'd ask how you'd want to express that to the producers, but maybe that shouldn't be on-camera...

[sunflowering]

For now, we can just focus on having fun and playing an honest to goodness innocent game. Would you like to draw first?

[softlyfalling]

Ah—sure. Let's see...

"What do you do to de-stress?"

[sunflowering]

Eat and sleep!

Whew, that was an easy one. And pretty harmless, too.

[softlyfalling]

Ahaha, that was fast. Oh, er, do you have any kind of food in particular you like to eat?

[sunflowering]

Parfaits, probably. At least dessert-wise. But I also like Ginger Pork and Okonomiyaki, too.

[softlyfalling]

Ah, like those large desserts the café has? I'm not familiar with everyone's food, but ginger pork sounds like something I would have had back home... maybe we should try cooking as a unit more often.

[sunflowering]

Mm! Baron-oniichan always cooks us a bunch of meals back over in Taisho. It feels like a shame, though, because he can't eat the meals he actually helps make.

[softlyfalling]

Usually Cardigan's the one to cook, although maybe I should try to help, next time... ah, does he have digestive troubles?

[sunflowering]

The only thing he can eat is a special kind of fruit. He can't eat anything other than that. Kind of depressing, right?

[softlyfalling]

Ah... that does sound like it'd be tiresome, over a long period of time. That's kind of him to cook for all of you regardless... it's impressive that he's a good cook, under the circumstances.

[sunflowering]

I keep wondering how he does it when he can't taste test the food. It's bizarre.

[ She appreciates it regardless, though. ]

But I liked your idea earlier. Maybe we could all get together and try to think up something nice to do or cook for our units.

[softlyfalling]

Maybe an activity together... one of our new members suggested going to the arcade with another unit. A way to, er, channel the rivalry.

[sunflowering]

Oh... the arcade could be fun! Let's suggest it, maybe we can get everyone to agree.

I'm not sure how good I am at games like those, but it should be fun either way, right?
