[ 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! ]

Hmm...

[considers her words for a moment]

I want to be someone who can understand, support and protect the people who are important to me. But also someone who has goals of my own... things I want to accomplish. I do want to be able to do "normal" things, like go to the gym, or bake, or... I don't know what else. I want to figure out what else I want to do.

But I also know that I'm never going to be a "normal" person. I can't be, after everything I've done. And that's fine. I don't care about conforming for the sake of it. I won't give up the abilities I have, when they could help me or someone else. And I... like things that are 'ridiculous.' ...Like Intensity. And that makes me happy. So... mm. I guess, I want to have enough sense of myself to be willing to push limits.

[shutthefoxup]

Sounds like you've at least got a great start on figuring it out at least.

[rollplayinghouse]

...Well, I've been working on it this whole time.

[shutthefoxup]

Four months seems really long here...but really it's a short amount of time. That's a lot to learn about what you want in a short amount of time.

[rollplayinghouse]

...I've also had a lot of help.

[shutthefoxup]

Mm, if there's one thing I'm grateful for about this place, it's some of the people.

[rollplayinghouse]

Yeah. Definitely.

[shutthefoxup]

As awful as this place can be, I don't really think I'd be willing to trade meeting some of them.

[rollplayinghouse]

I wouldn't trade it for anything.

[shutthefoxup]

I can agree on that.

[rollplayinghouse]

[She opens her mouth, and then the buzzer blares loudly and she suddenly isn't sure what she was going to say. so instead she stands]

...Thanks for talking with me.

[shutthefoxup]

Mm, you too. Thanks and good luck with the game.
