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.

Talk to Sumire

(Game ends at 4PM PST/6 PM CST/7 PM EST).

Thank you very much. May I ask first?
tothosewhobait: (And still there never seems to be)

[personal profile] tothosewhobait 2021-05-30 08:02 pm (UTC)(link)
Of course, go right ahead.

Then, what is something you would give your life for?
tothosewhobait: (I know we didn't choose to change)

[personal profile] tothosewhobait 2021-05-30 08:31 pm (UTC)(link)
No, I'm of no use to anyone if I am dead. And the people I wish to protect would be hurt forever if I died for their sake. I have plenty of things I wish to live for though. Dying is sometimes easier than living, afterall.

You?

My family, I suppose.

What is something you fear?
tothosewhobait: (I'm seeing shadows)

[personal profile] tothosewhobait 2021-05-30 08:54 pm (UTC)(link)
Winding up alone. The twins deciding I'm not worth eating anymore and going to find someone more interesting.

You?

Worth eating...?

[ ... ]

I have feared things, in the past. But in this moment, I am not sure there is any fear left in my heart.

Perhaps, I fear that everything I have done has been meaningless, and everything I do will be meaningless. But then, if that is in fact the truth that comes to pass, perhaps I will simply be relieved.
tothosewhobait: (All the things I could do)

I'm from the Coral Sea. I suppose it's our weird sense of humor. That is, merfolk have a lot of cannibalism jokes. My apologies.

Ah, I can understand that fear well.

[personal profile] emptymind 2021-05-30 09:06 pm (UTC)(link)
Ah, I see. That's right, you mentioned something like that before.

What is something you regret?
tothosewhobait: (And I don't need no explanation)

[personal profile] tothosewhobait 2021-05-30 11:34 pm (UTC)(link)
Mmm...not managing my stress. It's very dangerous for me and the people around me if I don't manage the negative energy I build up.
