[ 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! ]

That is exactly what I expect from you.

[withoutmeaning]

Ah, but I can't put a value to my relationships with them...!

[resonantblue]

So be it. You uncertain fools.

If you can't rate them based off friendship, rate them based off attractiveness...!

[withoutmeaning]

It'd be a shame if I could rank all of them with certainty when they're all very close in my rankings!

Oh, but this one's easy. U, K and B in that order. Though they're all very cute!

[resonantblue]

Not bad. Maybe I should be asking that of people instead. You supplied an answer so readily, after all.

[withoutmeaning]

It's easier to think about how nice people look than try to put a number or order to how you feel about them, kahahahaha.

[resonantblue]

Why is that?

[withoutmeaning]

It could perhaps be because there are some so-called 'objective' measures of attractiveness that people use to help themselves decide what is and isn't attractive to them, or at least ones where there is a social consensus on what those standards are! Meanwhile, feelings are the wild uncharted frontier and take way more time and effort to sort out.

[resonantblue]

I suppose... feelings are complicated, after all. Even when it comes to rating someone's attractiveness, taking their personality into consideration makes it harder, too.
