[ 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! ]

[sunflowering]

Mm, same here. They can sometimes be obnoxious, but I'd rather have this than any of the more violent games...

[She hasn't died yet but she's...pretty scared about that actually.]

[justfuckingtryit]

Exactly. The cards are rude as fuck, but cards can't do anything, so. I'll take it.

[sunflowering]

So far I haven't gotten anything too bad, yet! There was one that was kind of embarrassing, but outside of that, I guess I've lucked out.

[ She pushes the deck toward him ]

If you like, why don't you start us off, then? It might help ease you into our own session.

[justfuckingtryit]

[Takes one.]

...surprisingly tame.

What's you favorite memory with your best friend?

[sunflowering]

It's a bad question because I don't really have any memories. I'm not sure that I have a best friend here yet, either...

Favorite memory? Uhm... well, I guess I liked the fancy dance we all did recently. I had a lot of fun with my unit. They were pretty doting toward me. And I went with Hiryuu-chan and Baron-oniichan so that was fun, too.

[justfuckingtryit]

...it was a nice night. B did a good job putting it together.

[sunflowering]

He's kind of like the party guru, isn't he.

[justfuckingtryit]

He does seem to plan things for everyone a lot.

[sunflowering]

I feel like the rest of us here should all throw him a surprise party one of these days, as thanks.

[justfuckingtryit]

I don't know how good I'd be at party planning, but I'd throw in some points.

[sunflowering]

I'll ask around then and see if anyone else would be interested! And I'll have to see if there's anything he particularly likes, to make it extra fun.

[justfuckingtryit]

Let me know if you need anything. I've only talked to him a couple of times, but he seems like a decent guy.

At very least, he deserves something good for trying to make this place less shitty all the time.

[sunflowering]

I agree. This place is... well, it's not always fun. So doing something nice for the person who goes out of his way to make things a little more relaxing and fun for the rest of us would...be a nice gesture.

I'll be sure to keep you updated on things if I'm able to make any headway!

And for now, the game! Would you like to draw?

[justfuckingtryit]

Ah - right.

[Takes a card. Grimaces a little.]

What would you do if you were kidnapped?

[sunflowering]

I guess... they mean outside of the fact that I was kidnapped into hell, right? Uhm...

I'm not really sure. It would depend on the reason as to why I was kidnapped, but... fight... back? I'd just look for whatever opportunity I had to escape, while at the same time just doing my best to stay alive. I don't really like confrontation much, but I'm also not the type to just sit there and let someone hurt me, either. I'd do whatever I had to.

[justfuckingtryit]

I'd hope all that applies to you be kidnapped to hell, just as much.

[sunflowering]

Naturally! I guess in the end it's the same thing no matter what. I'd like to fight my way out of this place just as much as the next person. And I'm determined to do it.... somehow.

[justfuckingtryit]

[Nods, considering.]

You and everyone else. We'll get there eventually.

[sunflowering]

In the meantime, questions...!

[She draws up a card, and-- ]

What skills do you have that would help you to survive a zombie apocalypse?

[justfuckingtryit]

[Considers that for a minute.]

I guess, I'm hard to keep down? If you fuck with me, I fuck with you right back. I'd get myself a crossbow or something and give those zombies hell.

[sunflowering]

Too stubborn to give up, right? Not really a bad trait to have.

[justfuckingtryit]

It got me this far, anyway.

What about you? What would help you get through the end of the world?

[sunflowering]

Mm... probably the same. I just wouldn't want to give up, even if it as just out of spite.

I'd like to think that if I was facing the end of the world and a whole bunch of creepy zombies, that I'd have a team of people there with me. Friends fighting and sticking together.

If I was to have a weapon though? Maybe a staff, or scythe... something like that.

[justfuckingtryit]

A scythe would be pretty cool.

[sunflowering]

Consider me the grim reaper of Taisho~~!

[Spookey voice~~! ]
