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.

[Ditto, my dude]

Would you like me to speed answer all of them for you?

We can ask back and forth down the list.

[That's probably more what the audience wants to see than just tl;dring a whole row at once...]

Very well, what is something you love?

My brother's voice. What's something you love?

Being able to come on land with Jade and Floyd.

A hate?

Myself. [He already said Dantelion elsewhere and this is an answer that might like, disrupt the conversation or something if he used it for somebody off-team, so.] What do you hate?

Luck. It is the actual worst. I can't control it at all.

A fear?

Losing this competition. What do you fear?

Likewise.

Desire?

I- want to see the people I love again.
What do you desire?

I want to save the twins and you and SeaDi and be able to go back to school and learn to travel dimensions so I can see people again.

Something happy?

[Noah thought he was okay with this game but maybe, actually,]

The ocean exists and it's very nice. Tell me something happy.

The ocean exists and it is very nice. Also, even if how I came to be here is terribly, I am glad for the time I've had here. Everyone has been terribly kind.

Something sad?

Everyone I knew growing up is dead except the one person I wanted dead. Tell me something sad.

[....reaches out to toy with the edge of Noah's sleeve]

I don't have anything that sad. I suppose...I have to manage my stress levels more than most? Because I've had a magical break before... I'm more susceptible to them now. And each time they happen, they eat a piece of you. So I could just...die of negative energy. As silly as that is. And I worry if I have a break again, maybe next time I will actually manage to kill the twins.

Something you would give your life for?

[Noah's wearing actual pants and a hoodie today so, miraculously, there is enough sleeve there for toying with it to be possible. He'll allow that, though he's looking down at the list on his phone and not at Morgana.]

Mm.
I tried to give my life for revenge one time. What would you give your life for?

Nothing. I can't do anything for anyone if I am dead. And if I were to die protecting someone, it would hardly be protection, I'd just be hurting them in a different way. Living is harder, but I'm not afraid of hard work. So, no matter what. I want to live.

Something you would kill for?

I'd kill in order to not lose what's precious to me ever again. What would you kill for?

To keep the precious things safe. Though the twins don't like me to get my hands dirty.

Comfort?

I find comfort in moonlight. You?

The twins. They sneak into my room... I sleep better with people around me. It feels nice and cramped like an octopus pot. Safe.

Former secret?

I used a relic to see my partner's past self because I wanted to know more about him and I haven't told him that happened yet since, um, in retrospect maybe that's weird and I'm afraid he'll get mad at me.
Tell me a secret.

I like you very much and I will miss you terribly.

A hope?

[He's going to LOSE HIS MIND
breathe Noah pretend you didn't hear that and just answer the next question]

I! Hope we win this game! What do you hope for.

I hope we win too. And I hope I can see you and W and B again.

Ah...something embarrassing?
