[ The sun starts to rise on the horizon, and the fairy lights fade, and vanish, for morning has come. A gentle chime calls all of you to find Lantana and Sumire again on their bench. Lantana looks up from her book: ]

We hope all of you have found truths worth engaging with and perhaps some worth wrestling with. Our time here is now done, for the moment.

But before we go~ The winners for this particular exercise of truth among our regular units~
sensitIV, Avante en garde, pep!pep, Future Is Now, and Taisho Roman Revolution. And for our ~very special~ guests -
YOU-kai is first, while sea.Di is second, and 10IV is in third.


We'll see you again.

[ And as the sun fully rises, you find yourselves back in the plain game tower lobby once more, and outside, it's evening. ]

[ 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.

[So there's something about rain and horrible imps going on outside but for those summoned to the Game Tower, there isn't any sign of that. How fortunate.

Today, the Game Tower appears to be the outside of a large, rich old family estate house - the kind of fancy that appears primarily in soap operas, as a matter of fact, with high rose hedges and impeccably kept, expansive grounds, but doesn't look like it's ever been lived in. It's a different estate house from the last time this particular host ran a game and laid out on a table are pitchers of fancy mocktails and sliced-up summer fruits.

Sumire's hologram - alone today, their sister is absent - is perching kind of upside-down on a bench in a very familiar inability to sit properly. Their ever-present hat having fallen to the ground beneath them and their chatter to the audience is something about telling stories and drama and romance. ]

Hi again~ And let's begin, shall we~?

[you do get a little time to eat fruit and drink mocktails and chatter - and ask Sumire questions - before they shoo you off your separate ways.]

We'll see you again.

[ And as the sun fully rises, you find yourselves back in the plain game tower lobby once more, and outside, it's evening. Those of you who were not winners might by player discretion find yourselves with some lingering effects for the following day: either an inability to lie, hanahaki when you lie, or a burning sensation when you lie. This is optional, but also we know what you all are about. ]

[ The clock strikes the hour, and if you're not already back in the sitting room, the next time you pass through a doorway you find yourself back there; night is falling, outside the windows, and the host in red and yellow is busy lighting the candles in the sconces while her sibling is once again lounging across the window seat—this time upside-down. ]

It's about time you got back. What did you make of your experiences, and those of your fellows? Your past informs your future—whether you want to embrace it or break free of it—and we expect great things from you.

I hope it helped you all know yourselves more. [their hat has, by this point, obviously fallen off their head to be currently on the floor.] And what’s the saying - that you can’t understand someone until you’ve walked in their shoes? Or, in this case, experienced their past? Close enough to walking in their shoes, isn’t it~?

As for who won—the experience itself is a gift. But also some of you will receive winners' points, of course. The winners are as follows: SensitIV in first; WILD CITY and future is now in second; AlcheME! in third, and BAD END=DEAD END, LiliS, and Heart Soldier Senshi tied in fourth.

Know yourself and know others. And don’t look away from things you don’t want to see~ [waves goodbye cheerfully, still lounging upside down]

[ Lantana finishes lighting the last candle, blows out her match, and the room goes dark—and then the lights come back up, and you're in the familiar lobby, and the doors to the tower are open. ]

When: Day 165

[ When you enter the Game Tower, you find yourselves in the living room of an expansive, cozy estate house. Outside the windows, it seems to be autumn—the maple trees outside are fully orange—and there's a fire burning in the large fireplace. Across from where you entered, there's a large bay window, where two people are sitting. Well, one's sitting, reading a large hardcover book, and the other is really just lounging. ]

Hi~ Welcome to our game. [says the lounging one, who is dressed in violet and white, violet-embroidered haori over white blouse and equally flower-embroidered shorts, along with a cute hat. They don’t make any move to sit up.] We’ve worked really hard to give you this opportunity to know yourselves and each other more.

...sis, you need to put down the book! I know it’s a really good book, but come on. Unless you really want me to entertain them all by myself.


[ The reading one shuts her book with a snap; she wears a red and yellow patterned kimono with a brown hakama under a dark brown shawl embroidered with lantana flowers. She sighs. ] If they can't use what we give them and make something of that on their own, they're a lost cause, Sumire.

[ And with that, each of you suddenly find yourselves remembering new things about your lives—and then a moment later, you realize you've remembered something else as well. Except it's not something that happened to you. ]

Don't let us down.
