WHO: Idols looking to have a good time
WHERE: Game Tower
WHEN: Day 32, Morning

[ Good morning! Are you ready for some more fun? Good, because the GAME ALERT is going off again!

Go up the elevators and you'll find yourself going down the hall to an expansive balcony with several unit-colored mini-tables big enough for two people, with two patio chairs and garden umbrellas to boot. Why not have a game outside, it's such a nice day after all! 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 lemonade pitchers scattered around with paper cups if you're thirsty, but nothing else. Today, you dine on love (dates). I guess you could also dine on the question cards.

Your phone gives you the instructions for today's game: looks like this is another light one. No enforced truth-telling or anything this time, even! ]

Hey, Chief. How the science going?

At ease, Commander.

Are we really going to be spending this precious time talking about work?

[pfft]

It's not a fun hobby for you?

I think of it more as a lifestyle choice.

Same for you and your profession, no?

Yeah, a 'lifestyle choice' is a good way to put it. But I do enjoy it.

[Whether or not Cardigan actually sounds bitter or not]

Does someone sound a little bitter?

[quirks an eyebrow.]

Is someone projecting?

Hahahahaha. And if I was?

I'm curious. You're good at science, it's useful to you, your unit, and to everyone else. What's not to like?

The abilities they give my unit are not real science. It's all psuedo-technomagic bullshit made to look like science.

What about your unit's abilities? Are they equally as gimmicky?

No, I'm pretty fond of ours.

Is that why you're bitter? You prefer science the hard way?

I prefer science the "correct" way, but damn, this is why I didn't want to talk about work.

What a mood kill, Commander.

[laughs, and alright they're not AGAINST being called Commander.]

Sorry. You can start flirting if you want. I just wanted to learn more about you.

[Takes the cards and starts shuffling them absently.

Fans the cards out for them to take one]

What's there to learn? What you see is what you get.

[They select... ]

"Do you know how to give a massage?"

[Raises an eyebrow: do you?]

Can't say I've tried it in the last 30 days.

[Picks a card of his own, raising an eyebrow at it a little:]

"Can you tell me some things about your family?"

Sure. I have seven siblings, probably about that many parents. One of my siblings was adopted when she was eleven. Her bash' died in a car wreck and we took her in since my bash' runs the world transit network.

What do you so to de-stress?

Work.

What the fuck is a bash'? And how many parents did you have?

[laughs, because frankly that's what they do too.]

That's how families are organized where I'm from. Usually, it's several adults living and raising children together. Like I said, I probably had about seven or eight parents. Maybe less, maybe more.

As in you haven't remembered them all yet?

Right.

[actually they haven't remembered any of them and strongly suspect they may be dead but anyway. ]

What do you think about public displays of affection?

I think people who don't do what they want when they want because of other people's opinions are fucking cowards.

[busts out laughing.]

Good answer.

You have a reason for asking that?

[Grins]

It was on the card.

[shows it. ]

Why, has it been a relevant topic for you?
