emotionshare! three! legged! RAAAAAAACE

[thepriceiswrong]

Who: Idols and their feelings
Where: The Game Tower
When: Day 235, Midday

[ Upon being whisked to the Game Tower, you can feel your phone vibrate; it seems that a new app has appeared on it, named "Sharing." The lobby also seems to have a number of rooms added to it…? Upon closer inspection, they're a number of small vid rooms, with controls on the outside to choose a scenario.

In the center of the lobby sits the possibly-familiar figure of Lantana, in a plush armchair, reading a book. Or, rather, her hologram, since some people did in fact just try to stab a host just this week.

She snaps her book closed at seeing you all arrive. ]

Good, you're here.

We've dealt with memories, uncovered truths—now is for a more fundamental level of understanding. And before all of you protest, it's character-building. No, I will not change the rules or exempt you.

Please do your best not to disappoint. You've done well so far, after all.

[crystallinelore]

None at all.

[his feelings are essentially a big spinning yikes emoji]

[selfpreservationist]

[... concern.]

You seem out of sorts.

[crystallinelore]

[mrrrph, being Seen.]

Ah, well, you know how SensitIV tends to be, yes? This is all rather revealing.

[selfpreservationist]

What, the idea that you have emotions?

[crystallinelore]

More the specifics of them.


...Okay, perhaps the former for some as well.

[selfpreservationist]

If you didn't, I'd be alarmed. There's... nothing wrong with finding the games or the hosts obnoxious. That's something we all have in common.

[crystallinelore]

[...is this vengeance for that time he told raven not to be insecure about his interests...

m-mixed feelings, between feeling oddly naked and charmed.]

I suppose that is true enough. I am... accustomed to hiding in a lot of ways.

[selfpreservationist]

[:)

vaguely amused]

It's too bad. In other circumstances, I might enjoy this kind of game. Emotions are... a complex beast.

[crystallinelore]

[a little amused in turn]

Mm, perhaps if things hadn't been so... fraught lately. I know I am more on edge than I might otherwise be.

[selfpreservationist]

The effects from before still linger?

[crystallinelore]

[he shakes his head.]

I would not be among others if I thought they did.

[selfpreservationist]

Good. Then you won't object if we engage in an activity together, for our mutual benefit?

[crystallinelore]

Not in the least. Have you any preferences?

[selfpreservationist]

I'm going to guess you're not in favor of being stabbed.

[crystallinelore]

[sir? amused.]

True. I have also made some promises to that effect.

[selfpreservationist]

[echoing that amusement. IT WAS A FUNNY JOKE I JUST MADE]

Fair enough. I feel similarly, myself.

[oh, he has an idea. it's kind of a bad idea, but it's exciting. he's not saying anything but he's clearly thinking about it, and it's obvious]

[crystallinelore]

[interest? interest.]

You've thought of something?

[selfpreservationist]

How do you feel about being restrained?

[said in a way where he's not expecting noah to agree, or would expect anyone to agree, really, it's more of a playful tease than anything]

[crystallinelore]

[okay those are valid feelings but he's not getting less interested, in fact the interest is sharpening.]

That would depend on context. But I trust you, which is a good start.

[selfpreservationist]

[oh

that's bad. that's very bad, because that means raven is stepping into noah's space, expression darkening but emotionally getting very, very excited]

You trust me? You do not know what kind of man I am.

[crystallinelore]

[kind of. amused by that response? but he's getting excited too, though his expeession reflects more of the amusement.]

Frankly speaking, I am fairly certain I could kick your ass if I needed to, but I have doubts you would cause such a necessity.

As for the kind of man you are, you are a man whose company I enjoy.

[selfpreservationist]

[--okay that breaks the spell a little, and raven chuckles, feeling relieved]

It's true that I'm not much of a threat by myself. Still... letting yourself get tied up by someone you don't know that well could be very foolish.

[crystallinelore]

[he grins, distinctly charmed by that response.]

It could be. But will it be? One could say the same for letting a strange man carry you around, too.

[selfpreservationist]

Good point. You could have kidnapped me, had you been the type with... dastardly wiles.

[he grins, defaulting to playfulness]

[crystallinelore]

[noah fucking loves playfulness,]

Mind you, that I did not does not necessarily mean I don't have dastardly wiles. I could simply be biding my time.
