Go Fish: Trauma Edition
Who: Naughty little fishes
Where: Game Tower
When: Day 527
[So there you are, minding your own business on a completely normal day.]
[Then you blink —
[— and find yourself, and many other idols, in an unfamiliar room.]
[The room is large and round and made of glass, like a globe. ...No, like a fish bowl.]
[On the other side of the glass walls, you can see indistinct shapes moving around, but the glass distorts the light so much that anything farther than arm’s length is just vague smears of colors and shadow blending with your own reflection. But something is there. Possibly a lot of somethings. ]
[Two formless shapes approach the glass, and as they do, their images resolve into the shapes of a pair of twins, one grinning while the other pointedly looks away from his brother. Perhaps unsurprisingly, the one who actually looks cheerful about being here is the first to speak up:]
Guess what~? You’ve been chosen to play in our very first game. Isn’t that exciting?
[He throws his arms out theatrically.]
Especially after soooo many boring games. The audience is looking for excitement and thrills here! Why not take the chance to really cement yourself as the fan favorite while you have the chance? Heck, it might even fix your little... “problem.”
[There’s a beat of silence, and he moves to elbow his brother who shoots him a “hey what the hell?” look before reluctantly facing the gathered idols.]
...Make sure you protect yourselves. Otherwise...
[He just lets the thought trail off before looking away again. His brother leans on him, resting an elbow on his shoulder as though waiting for him to continue before finally giving up and shaking his head with a sigh.]
You heard him! Give this game all you’ve got - got it?

[A light, sleepy pat pat on the back.]
Good luck out there Suu~chan.
Re: Pre-game mingle
[ . . . ]
You have not been through many games yet, have you.
[ Ones where he has lost. ]
Re: Pre-game mingle
[That's what he wanted to hear. But then--]
Only a few. Not many with high stakes, to say the least. Last time we were rather fortunate that the test itself was one of puzzles. I don't expect this one to be nearly as simple.
Re: Pre-game mingle
[ Aha... he was so frustrated, too. Since that second one should have been easier. He was just so stressed.]
You are rather skilled at them though it seems, Ritsu-senpai.
Re: Pre-game mingle
[His pouting lil bitch face is real cute tho.]
Well, I'm confident you'll be able to stay strong no matter what~ that fighting spirit of yours is one of your shining qualities after all.
Re: Pre-game mingle
[ Which meant it came down to him. ]
Of course, were you properly on Avante, it would be a different story. Instead, you had to go and get placed with Tori-kin.
[ Why would you do that, Ritsu. Why. ]
Re: Pre-game mingle
[Ritsu sighs...]
But it's true that our situation remains a bit complicated like this. I don't have any particular complaints with my current unit, but I'd prefer it if my personal interests weren't split like this.
Re: Pre-game mingle
It is a fair amount to juggle.]
I understand. More than ever, I suppose I realize why Leo-san did what he did when I first arrived. Even if the endeavor was useless.
[ . . . . . . . ]
Though maybe it wouldn't be right now?
Re: Pre-game mingle
[Faith can't help but feel like whatever's coming next is going to be something more troublesome than anything else. However--]
...I'm listening.
Re: Pre-game mingle
[ . . . ]
Naturally, it didn't work. But since everything is already in flux, perhaps if you did spend a good deal of time around Avante, you might get shuffled in with us.
Re: Pre-game mingle
[This has happened before, apparently, so he can't rule out the danger. Instead, he'll opt to lightly tease--]
...but if you wanted to spend more time with me you could have just asked~
Re: Pre-game mingle
[ . . . ]
Though of course, I am not a criminal. I wouldn't do something that was against the law. [Hmm.]
So just adorning you correctly and monopolizing you might be enough.
Re: Pre-game mingle
[........................]
Well, that's fine by me I guess.
