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! ]

What sort of things would you like to do?

[iamverybadass]

Aside from escape?

[malignstar]

Yeah, like fun team-buildy things.

[iamverybadass]

Well... I will be holding a sparring live with one of Avante's members. It will be a good way to relieve stress without actually hurting anyone. I believe a lot of people could use it.

[malignstar]

The one who bought the fighting dummy? He seems a lot of fun.

[iamverybadass]

Yes, that one. He seemed like the most agreeable out of all of them.

[malignstar]

You guys should have fun. I might come watch.

[iamverybadass]

You could spar too. There will be other members of our teams around for it.

[malignstar]

Unfortunately, I can't fight outside of the vid room. But I can give tips.

[iamverybadass]

Why not? Do you have an injury?

[malignstar]

[ Scratches unnaturally at the side of his neck and turns slightly to the side ]

Nah, it's nothing like that. I'm fit as a fiddle and all that. I just... have another me. And he tends to show up in fights.

[iamverybadass]

... I am not sure if that is the strangest thing I've heard here or not.

[malignstar]

Now I'm kind of disappointed.

[iamverybadass]

Over maybe not being the biggest weirdo here?

[malignstar]

A guy's got to strive to be the best at something.

[iamverybadass]

Surely you can find something better than being the biggest weirdo to strive for.

[malignstar]

I could but if I get that spot, that means everyone else gets to feel better about their own situation. At least they're not me.

[iamverybadass]

[ snorts ]

Then you would be sacrificing yourself. A true hero.

[malignstar]

What kind of knight would I be otherwise?

[iamverybadass]

One of those useless arrogant ones.

[malignstar]

That's definitely not me. I can't pull off the swagger.

[iamverybadass]

People who are just arrogant can't pull it off either. They just look like fools when they try.

[malignstar]

Well, it takes skill to have your head that far up your ass.

[iamverybadass]

They must practice it a lot.

[malignstar]

Never know, could be a natural-born talent.
