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.

[He doesn't seem to care up until he's actually restrained. Oh wow this is uncomfortable.]

Ahh, I'm caught.

[At the first sign of discomfort, Cobalt releases him.]

All done!

Do you think that counted?

As long as I felt something, it should have, right? That's the point of all this.

[finally, Cobalt's constant fretting over people's comfort is worth something.]

That's very true!

Any more tasks you want to try knocking out while you're under the influence?

Blindfolding... I guess? These must be the trust exercises.

[That others are sure to turn towards kinks too but y'know.]

[As long as we're not feeling kink feelings then it's fine. Just two normal guys blindfolding each other like friends.]

Works for me.

[he starts shucking off his jacket.]

Would you prefer to do the honors this time?

[Just two guys being chill blindfolding each other IT'S FINE.]

Sure thing! Do you ~*trust*~ me with it?

[He sounds mischievous, but he doesn't seem to be feeling particularly devious.]

[amused, offering him the jacket]

Should I not?!

I'm as trustworthy as can be!

[...Though there's not really much of a read now besides a general pleasantness. He'll take the jacket, folding it up somewhat to be a... sort of... as close to a blindfold as possible.]

Lean down a little, would you?

[u tol]

[there is not even a hint of doubt]

[He crouches]

[This game is really ruining his image. Oh well!

He'll tie it nice and secure over Cobalt's eyes. Hopefully this is good enough to count for something?]

How's that?

Very comfy, thank you.

[even though he's blindfolded, he's very calm. There's also gratitude, and a bit of relief, because Izanagi is helping him with this strange task without Making It Weird. Thanks, bro. Glad we can all be professional about this.]

How much emotion do you think we need to feel about something for it to count for points?

[Is this enough? unsure]

...Pretty much any emotion should work based on the rules, right? Sooo you being thankful I haven't done anything weird should be enough.

[Probably? Well, he's untying it again anyway.]

[patiently waiting for him to untie it, then straightening up again.]

Is this working for you, with the Cloud Nine and everything?

Wouldn't want to waste your time if you're not getting anything out of it...

Hm? It's working out fine for me.

[Even if it's just... continuing to be baseline pleasantness.

Hn.]

[as a chronic abuser of Cloud Nine, himself, the unwavering pleasantness doesn't set off any alarm bells at all. Yep, that's what it's like.]

Alright... glad to hear it, then.

In that case, what else could we do for points, hmm...

[scanning the list]

What kind of activities do you enjoy?

[Everything's fine!!]

Can't really go wrong with motorcycle rides, or roller coasters. Thrilling or athletic stuff.

[Everything's fine!!!!!]

Thrilling or athletic stuff sounds fun! I think we can get extra points for those, too.

Did you ever learn to ride a motorcycle, like you wanted?

I bought one recently, actually! Want a ride?

[Oh, he's genuinely excited at this prospect.]

[also excited, eager]

You know it!

Then let's go!

[He's definitely not as excited as he's portraying himself here but OFF TO THE HOTEEEEEEL.]

[TO THE HOTEL it probably doesn't take very long and then they're there]

I haven't been on a motorcycle ride in ages.

Really?

[It's a BF400, not the fastest thing in the shop but plenty serviceable. Take a helmet, too.]

Also, where to?

Come to think of it, I can only ever remember being on a motorcycle once before, the last time the flowers started blooming. It's been a while.

[Takes the helmet and starts putting it on before he remembers he still has antlers, unfortunately -- a corruption he's had since Day 145 but keeps forgetting about somehow—!

He'll just. Hold onto this helmet for you! He's helping!!]

...Do you like bakery food? Can we go to the bakery?

[...You know, it's already become such a habit to toss the extra at people, he really does just do it out of reflex now.

WELL WHATEVER THAT'S FINE. He'll just have to drive extra safe.]

Sure we can. Leave it to me!

[Putting on his helmet annnnd next stop: BAKERY! He's not a speed demon like some of the people here, although there's definitely some caution because he absolutely does not want to throw off Cobalt like this.]
