KISSING GAME

[just_married]

Who: idols
Where: game tower!
When: day 124 evening onwards

[ the game alert goes off again! once you’ve all managed to extract yourselves from the fanmail and made your way to the game tower... you’ll find a familiar face waiting for you.

floating roughly in the center of the lobby, seated crosslegged in midair with a scroll unfurled across his lap, Yasuragi is dressed more or less thusly, hands gloved, feet bare, and hair splayed uncharacteristically loose over his shoulders. He looks neither particularly Taisho-like nor particularly regal, but the deliberately lazy poise in the curve of his spine and the curl of his toes is unmistakable. ]

Hello, old friends.

I’d say we’ve come to put on a show for you all, but it’s rather more the other way around, now, isn’t it? Although I’ve come to “host,” the game this time was arranged by my cohort. They’re far too shy to show their faces, but they're quite delighted to act as your audience from here on. One of my girls is with child, so do pass along your well wishes, if you care to.

[ shifts one knee up, lets his other leg dangle, and rolls the scroll shut ]

Well, regardless, you should be looking to impress them soon enough.

[ waves the scroll aside, and it vanishes with the gesture. meanwhile, the rules appear on your phones. ]

Approach all different sorts of people and make nice with them, shall we call it. One per title, and do feel so inclined to pry around to find an appropriate candidate for one or two of them.

[ he smiles. ]

Call it a reward for an oft-scorned talent. I am in the business of something akin to redress, now, after all. To put it bluntly, this lot of mine has arranged nothing but a test of your shamelessness. Naturally, your judges all excel in the area. Give them your very best, now.

[ fuckin yasuragi

Remember when kissing games were embarrassing and cause for alarm? Neither does he. ]

Right back into this kind of thing without a break for murder?

[criminaljustice]

... don't I still owe you a favor from the last time?

[puzzlekeeper]

You do, in fact.

[criminaljustice]

Gosh. Mysterious when you're going to cash it in.

[420blazeit]

Like I needed a reason let alone a game to kiss you, King.

[puzzlekeeper]

[ please. ]

Try not to rub it in everyone's faces too much.

[420blazeit]

I do what I want, King.

You should know that by now.

[we_meet_again]

Are you really complaining about the lack of murder?

[puzzlekeeper]

[ COMPLETELY deadpanned: ]

What? Too many days without mass murder and I get restless.

[liftoft]

Oh man, I totally gotta kiss you!

[puzzlekeeper]

[ Raising an eyebrow at him ]

You "gotta"?

[crimeson]

Yeah, I heard there was a lot of murder type games, but wasn't the last one sorta like this too?

Not that I'm complainin'.

[puzzlekeeper]

You "heard"....?

[ ... ]

You must be new.

[crossmyheartandhope]

Dude. C'mon.

I'll take this over murder any day.

[puzzlekeeper]

[ LOOK, ]

I'm just commenting on them shaking up the usual brand like this.

[neigh_sayer]

Oh it probably means we'll all be killed in such a gruesome way later that our bodies won't even be recognizable.

Now kiss me!

[puzzlekeeper]

...

........




Ugh.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

Maybe all the speed dating was subpar in their humble opinion?

[puzzlekeeper]

[ Considers speed dating for a moment.

... Considers the amount of public debauchery that he, personally, was involved in. ]

Then their standards need adjustment.

[rollplayinghouse]

We'll probably get two murder games in a row after this.

[puzzlekeeper]

[ FLATLY: ]

Yay.

[puzzlers]

You probably just jixed it, King.

[ tsk tsk tsk. ]

[puzzlekeeper]

Well, too late now...

[malignstar]

I prefer this.

[puzzlekeeper]

Casual kissing over casual murder? I'm shocked.
