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! ]

Re: Thorn

Of course not. That would be too easy.

Thorn was your name, right?

Re: Thorn

[justfuckingtryit]

Lumen, actually.

I got mine back.

Re: Thorn

[earthquaked]

[ pauses, a moment ]

Does a name not mean much to you?

Re: Thorn

[justfuckingtryit]

It means plenty. That's why I was so pissed when I woke up and they'd grabbed mine and run like fucking thieves.

Re: Thorn

[earthquaked]

I meant the name you'd chosen.

Re: Thorn

[justfuckingtryit]

It's still a good name. It came from a friend, and it was for a good reason.

[He pauses, trying to think through the words.]

But I feel like it's important, to take back what they took from us. It wasn't theirs to begin with.

Re: Thorn

[earthquaked]

You think you're the same person you were before?

Re: Thorn

[justfuckingtryit]

...probably not. I don't even remember that person very much.

But I'm me, and what's mine is mine, and you better believe I'm not going to let them fucking keep it.

Re: Thorn

[earthquaked]

I guess that's one way of looking at it.

So you want to go by Lumen, then?

Re: Thorn

[justfuckingtryit]

Yeah. Call me Lumen, please.

Re: Thorn

[earthquaked]

Alright then. Lumen.

Re: Thorn

[justfuckingtryit]

...thanks.

I guess we should probably get to the game, huh?

Re: Thorn

[earthquaked]

Cute smile.

And yeah, sure.

Re: Thorn

[justfuckingtryit]

It's a regular smile.

[But he grabs for a card and looks down at it, maybe to hide the fact that he flusters a little.]

Would you go streaking in front of thousands of people for a million dollars?
