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.

Threaded | Top-Level Comments Only

These appear on your phone:
In this game, characters ask each other questions to fulfill the following criteria on their scorecard:
Learned something the person loves
Learned something the person hates
Learned something the person fears
Learned something the person desires
Learned something happy
Learned something sad
Learned what someone would give their life for
Learned what someone would kill for
Learned what someone finds comfort in
Learned something formerly secret
Learned something hoped for
Learned something the person is embarrassed by
Learned something the person is proud of
Learned something the person regrets
Learned something the person wants to do someday
Characters must answer truthfully for the duration of the game.
All participating characters receive a matchbook with five matches. These matches are burned to pass in the event that a character doesn't want to answer a question.
If a character wishes to pass an additional time after they've used their entire matchbook, they are disqualified and any points they earned will not be counted. They will also be temporarily turned into one of the garden's fairy lights until the end of the game.
Anyone attempting to get into a physical altercation will find themselves turned into a fairy light until they cool off.
If someone either passes on a question or answers it, the question (or similar-enough variations) cannot be asked of them again.
Once a character has filled out an entire scorecard, they may start a new one for additional points.
At the end of the game, either the six teams with the top score OR the five teams with the top score and the team with the highest individual scorer will be declared the winners. (Guest units will be scored separately and ranked within their scores.)
Powers are off.
Game will end at 4PM PST/6 PM CST/7 PM EST at which point turn-ins will be frozen for scoring.
Turn-in is here.

[the cheerful one. also, huh, for Mysterious Reasons, is the only one between them and their sibling available to talk to.]

Why.

Oh. This brings back memories.

Very well. I have nothing to hide.

[He does have the emotional competence of a pet rock, however.]

Not good ones, I take it?

Hhhey. Uh.

I'm assuming that's a rhetorical 'why'.

...Oh! This one isn't so bad.

[COME GIVE A TINY YOU-KAI A HAND, he's not even going to be here long enough to divulge your secrets to others!!]

Oh, like the kotatsu room?

[Cardinal looks over the set-up with a wry smile—A little sad, if you're good at spotting that sort of thing.

But the enthusiasm is genuine.]

My favorite.
