imeeji_frontstage | I hope you wanted to tell the truth today

Who: Sumire, Lantana, and honest idols
Where: the Game Tower
When: day 368, morning

[ When you enter the game tower, you find yourself on the carefully-manicured lawn of an expansive, tastefully-appointed estate house. This garden might actually look a bit familiar—you might have seen it from inside the windows of that very house, in fact.

The air is warm, and the grass is a summer green under your feet; the flowers crawling over the trellises and springing up from the lovingly-tended beds are bright in shades of red and purple, even in the twilight dark. Everything here looks vibrant, healthy. In the air bob gentle glowing orbs of light that illuminate the paths; they float away from your fingers if you try and touch them.

And in front of you, there are two figures sitting on a bench, who may be familiar. Well, one of them's definitely sitting, at least. The other is lounging upside-down on the bench, their Taisho-style hat barely clinging to their head. ]

Hi yet again~ And I see we have some new faces, too~

Some of you will recall us; we've been afforded a chance once more to provide a venue wherein you might know yourselves and each other better. This time, not with the past, but with the present.

All truths are easy to understand once they are discovered; the point is to discover them~

[there are some patio tables and chairs spread out in the garden that have candy, glasses, and pitchers of fancy mocktails on them. You are also all holding a book of matches with 5 matches in them.]

If you wish to curate your truth, and refrain from an answer, burn a match; however, those who use all their matches will find themselves disqualified.

I'd categorize it as 'disgruntled' at most.

Disgruntled then. Can I make it a little less offputting then?

That is, do you want to curl up in a chair and learn more about each other for a while?

Sure. You can sit in my lap this time if you want.

You have yourself a deal.

[ time to go sit in a garden chair!! wraps wings around ]

Okay, do your worst. Interrogate me.

Do you like me? Yes or no.

Hundred percent yes.

Pretty bird.

[Kisses his cheek]

Are there any questions off limits?

I think with you most of them are okay, but some of them are probably gonna have answers that aren't the best or cutest...

That's fine. If I wanted someone who was just "cute" I'd go after that. I like you though, and that includes the not cute parts.

I am hardly cute all the way through either.

I like your uncute parts as well. So yeah, they're all open for answer.

...what is something you hoped for then?

I wanted the world to be a place where heroes like me have nothing but free time. I think it came up before.

It did.

[Pecks him again]

That's why I asked it. You didn't have to tell me anything you hadn't already chosen to tell me.

You are so emotionally supportive. I feel spoiled.

Yes, yes, I am truly wonderful. Praise me more.

[Noses along his jaw]

I want to play this game with you....after the game. Where it's not for points and you only have to answer the ones you want to. Is it a date?

Very supportive. A soothing presence. Boyfriend material.

[ pets his hair!! ]

I wouldn't mind. I've got more memories I wanna take too so maybe I'll have more real answers.

Made only of the highest quality ingredients.

[Leans into the petting]

Don't share all your secrets then, I'll get jealous.

I'm way worse at this kind of game than my fluffy appearance would imply! I already panicked and used a match up.

Handsome? Treasure? My pearl? It is fine to sit this one out. You do not need to work this hard.

[ huff. leans on. ]

I guess I can't help you with more than one answer anyway, and AlcheME doesn't care if we win...

You do not have to work this hard to help me. You help me just by being you. Just be around for me after games, that is all I could ask.

I'll do a little bit of work and then I'll be around after, how about that.

Fine, but you have to nap with me and the twins afterwards then.

I'll accept it.
