LiliS - SUNDAY

[ The bar is unit-colored with light unit paraphernalia, although it's all just for show. Fortunately, comfort isn't part of the unit aesthetic this time—all seats are cushioned, whether the booth seats or the bar stools, comfy and lush. Idols can sit anywhere they like, it seems.

There's alcohol available, but everything else is locked behind the wall-cabinet. . . the recipe book is also available to peruse at one's leisure.

Ah—the door opens, and a fuzzy sort of shade steps in. It looks like idols will be serving the Damned, today. . . ? ]

[ ♥ Cutie. ]

Okay, for 'herbs' we've got — Grief, Isolation, or Fragility. [ Reading off the card. ] Gotta... talk about a time when we felt like that, I think, or else share memories.

I did a lot of memory-sharing, since it was — well, sometimes easier than actually talking about the thing, for me, but it also makes extra Juice.

Well-- I don't have any memories to really share, but-- I should be able to help with the rest right?

Mmmmmmm... if it's "Isolation"... I think... that's kind of like-- how I felt before I met you all. At first it seemed like maybe this was something I'd have to do on my own-- like I was responsible for my own fate from now on. But... now I don't think it has to be like that anymore.

[ ........................Wow, Persy, how dare you. ] [ Lupine is just. Briefly stunned silent, then rubs the back of his neck. ]

—Well. We're glad to have you.

[ WAIT, wait, there was. There was an important misconception in there! ]

They don't actually have to be memories you've already bought back... and you don't get to pick what memory you share, exactly. [ Retrieving some ice from under the bar. ] You focus on the feeling you wanna share, and crush some of this.

[ So, focusing on affection, he... gets this memory, of all things. His silly impulse to get everyone in Imeeji who needed them coats. Kind of more literal warmth than he was going for but this is fine? Surely?? ]

—Oh. And sometimes it'll just... get you a memory of something that happened here, which feels like a total ripoff.

So-- I could see some of my memories too?! That's amazing! Then... I can help even more!!

[This is the first time she's seen a memory at all, so it's pretty exciting. She has to admit, she's curious now.]

Wow...

Yep! And on the one hand they're free, but on the other hand you can't keep them private. And if you wanna keep your memories for yourself? That's totally okay.

[ If he could somehow exert less than no pressure on you, he would! ]

[She does give it some thought. But in the end, it doesn't take her long to decide. She shakes her head.]

Mmmm... I want to see. And I don't mind if you guys see them too. So-- next time I'll try it too!

[ Aww. ]

Okay. But also, I'm making this rule right now. [ And he raises his voice, for the benefit of the others: ]

If any of us take a memory here that sucks, and we need a moment — or we just really don't wanna talk about it, either during a game or ever — then that's okay. We'll just go sit in that corner, [ pointing at a table on the other side of the bar, in the corner of the tavern(?), ] and we'll be left alone for as long as we need.

Got it?
