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.

Rules
Turn-in
Talk to Sumire

(Game ends at 4PM PST/6 PM CST/7 PM EST).
tothosewhobait: (You’re killing someone maybe)

...are you all right? You seem nervous.

[personal profile] maidenheaven 2021-05-30 07:53 pm (UTC)(link)
Ahaha . . .

Games like these are a little uncomfortable, but I'm alright. And yourself?
tothosewhobait: (And I don't need no explanation)

[personal profile] tothosewhobait 2021-05-30 08:02 pm (UTC)(link)
Similar. I will not ask you anything then if you are truly uncomfortable. I can understand how it feels...invasive.
maidenheaven: (would have come out)

[personal profile] maidenheaven 2021-05-30 08:04 pm (UTC)(link)
Thank you for your consideration. Still, I don't mind having a conversation, if you like.
tothosewhobait: (But you ruined her in a year)

[personal profile] tothosewhobait 2021-05-30 08:29 pm (UTC)(link)
That sounds nice. Would you like to take a seat? People are less likely to approach you if you are already talking to someone, you know.

[personal profile] maidenheaven 2021-05-30 08:34 pm (UTC)(link)
Ah—a seat would be lovely. Shall we use each other as camouflage, then?

tothosewhobait: (That's too bad)

[personal profile] tothosewhobait 2021-05-30 08:56 pm (UTC)(link)
Mm, let's.

[Pours drinks for both of them]

My name here is Morgana, but since this is a truth game, you may call me Azul.
maidenheaven: (is already spoiled)

[personal profile] maidenheaven 2021-05-30 08:59 pm (UTC)(link)
[ taking the drink ]

Ah, thank you. I am Lucifel of sensitIV, but my designation is Ruler. I have a number of other names, but it does get a little tedious, and no one would know you're referring to me regardless . . .

[ bringing the drink up, studying it ]

Is this alcoholic—?
tothosewhobait: (Touring the facilities)

[personal profile] tothosewhobait 2021-05-30 09:06 pm (UTC)(link)
I do not believe so.

[Gives it a taste]

No, it is not. Do you dislike alcohol?
maidenheaven: (vivit gray - foot print 13)

[personal profile] maidenheaven 2021-05-30 09:14 pm (UTC)(link)
—thank you. Ah, it isn't that I dislike it, but rather . . .

[ hm ]

I don't hold my alcohol very well at all, and I don't find much enjoyment in inebriation, so I do try to avoid it. I would make for a poor conversation partner if I was drunk, I think.

[ taking a sip of his mocktail ]
tothosewhobait: (I'ma get you fired)

[personal profile] tothosewhobait 2021-05-30 09:22 pm (UTC)(link)
Understandable then.

Shall you tell me about something you DO like then? Or rather, something you love?
maidenheaven: (vivit gray - dandelion 07)

[personal profile] maidenheaven 2021-05-30 09:33 pm (UTC)(link)
Ahh, let's see . . . I like to cook for my loved ones. Seeing them eat something they enjoy makes me happy.

What of yourself?
tothosewhobait: (But you ruined her in a year)

[personal profile] tothosewhobait 2021-05-30 09:37 pm (UTC)(link)
Hmmm...I love board games. Playing them with friends is especially fun. I happen to be in a board game club back home.
maidenheaven: (but why)

[personal profile] maidenheaven 2021-05-30 09:39 pm (UTC)(link)
—oh my, what is your favorite board game?
maidenheaven: (our false friendship)

[personal profile] maidenheaven 2021-05-31 02:48 am (UTC)(link)
[ . . . laughs a little, soft—certainly not at him. it sounds fond ]

I see . . . It's wonderful to have a hobby you love so much.
tothosewhobait: (I feel like I'm going crazy)

[personal profile] tothosewhobait 2021-05-31 02:59 am (UTC)(link)
T-thank you.
