WHO: More idols looking to have a good time
WHERE: Game Tower
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! ]

So long as you are engaged in search, there is none, but to give up before you have begun is the saddest of states! So speak truly, have you found resolve?!

[deathboss]

DON'T TOY WITH ME! HADES IS ALWAYS RESOLVED!

[Or maybe it's just anger that works best with him.]

[syncintohell]

[ Manic, definitely getting fired up as Hades does. ]

Then perhaps you ought to show that resolve! Tell me of your exploits and ambitions, anything that would prove those words to not ring hollow! Where in your life have you so far gone seeking romance!

[deathboss]

JUST YOU WAIT! WHEN I GET SOME MEMORIES BACK YOU'LL FIND OUT I HAD THE BEST LOVE LIFE OF ANYONE IN THIS PLACE!!!

[He slams both his hands on the table.]

And you know what? Even without memories I'll do it! I'll romance everyone, dammit!

[No.]

[syncintohell]

Will you? [ Raising an eyebrow, haughty in his doubt. ]

Then you seem to have been presented with quite the opportunity here, with all these people before you!

[ He gestures at the other tables and other people. ]

Then come now, show me as you promised! Once this is over, regale me with your tales of affection blossoming!

[deathboss]

Hey we're only limited to certain groups!

...but I'll try.

[He's about to leave, well as he much as he can here, when he sits down again.]

Let's start with you, hoooou!

[Okay, that came out of nowhere.]

[syncintohell]

[ Crossing his arms, calming down to adapt to the turn in the conversation. ]

You are not my type.

[deathboss]

Good! So that's one down and a few dozen to go, huh?

[Well that makes it a lot easier, really.]

So do you still want to continue this? I'm sure the questions are only going to get more interesting from here on out...

[syncintohell]

Once we have begun, I am not the sort to not see a work through to the bitter end. So near the buzzer, I will see it out to the bitter end.

[ He puts his hand over the card stack and first says: ]

But first, let us clear the air. Earlier I only meant to rile you, as your question was thoughtless. I did not kill my boyfriend with an axe.

[deathboss]

Hey, I was just reading what was on the card, bro. But uh...glad you haven't killed your boyfriend with an axe. [Briefly he tilts his head.] But you sound like a guy who has more than one boyfriend. Or at least you sound energetic enough for more than one!

[Not helping, Hades.]

[syncintohell]

There is no need to go casting aspersions. I was not lying about having a former boyfriend. The modifier is the key part of the statement.

[ He flips the card, which reads: Where do you see yourself in five years? ]
