CATS

These dressing rooms are simple, but comfortable! A large, circular couch curls around a table, atop of which you find a bowl of fruit. There's a water cooler in one corner, and in the other there is a small, private booth.

Should you check out the booth, you'll find nothing inside except for a comfortable armchair. Oh, and it's completely soundproof. Completely.

[ Come up with your list of six questions! When you're ready, please make a new comment with "SUBMISSION" as the subject. ]

… It's a question and answer game?

[HEY, free fruit. Grabs a banana.]

I guess so.

...who're we asking questions to?

[ Snagging a handful of strawberries for herself! Pops one into her mouth, and only speaks again when she's swallowed. ]

Mmm … good question; I'm not sure. Do you have any preferences, Tama-san?

... [He lets out a sigh.] Pretty sure the only person I really want some answers from isn't here and doesn't care about scores.

What about you?

I don't think a game is a good place to ask anything important, anyway.

[ She shrugs, nose wrinkling. ] If there's something you need to ask, then you should just do it—at least, that's what I think.

So maybe we should just stick to silly stuff.

I think you're right.

[Rubs his chin.]

Lemme ask Yato why his shirt is so ugly.

He'll know what it means.

… Sure.

[ That seems mean, but. Maybe they're friends? ]

Uhmmm … We could ask one team what kind of games they'd like best? And another team what kind of game they'd run if they had the chance?

[Friends.

Yes. That's what they are.]

Sure. Sounds good.

...we should ask the Echoes something, since they never get to do stuff like this.

[ Hm. Hmmm. That is a good idea … Aoko brings a finger to her lips, thinking. ]

But what should we ask them?

...

Which of you could do the most push-ups.

[ … omg ]

[ Aoko giggles, nodding. ] Perfect! And, let's see … maybe we could ask one of the teams a riddle?

...got it.

How many months have 28 days.

[ ... Snicker. ]

Yeah!

Okay, so, that's five. We'll probably be okay with that much, right?

Mm! The rules said that we need between zero and six, so five works out fine.

1) TO YATO: Why is your shirt so ugly?
2) TO HENWEN: What kind of game would you run if you had the chance?
3) TO GULGALLANA: What kind of games do you like best?
4) TO RATATOSKR: Which months have 28 days?
5) TO ECHOES: Which of you can do the most push-ups?

Would you rather always smell nasty farts that no one else can smell, or always smell like nasty farts that you can't smell?

What do you want to do for Estelle?

What's your favorite kind of underwear?

Do you like cats?

What makes you feel like you belong on your team?

Which of the other teams do you trust the most?

Do you consider yourself to be a team, and in what way?

Why do you get your shards separately?

[Decide as a group how to answer all questions given to the team as a whole, whether you're going to answer as a group or appoint a spokesperson, and whether you're going to answer in public or private!]

[Staring at the first question. So incredulous.]

What the fuck...?

[He doesn't mean to drop an f-bomb in front of Aoko, but, whoops.]

What the heck is that question?!

[ reads down a little further, to the underwear one - ]

Or that one?!

...

...

Wait a sec, do people think we still get our shards in our rooms?

Edited 2015-10-30 04:41 (UTC)

What? Oh, uh ... [ Still distracted and appalled by farts and underwear tbh ]

I don't know. Maybe they're asking why we usually don't all win togehter?

...oh. So they're asking why we get shards separate from the other teams and why all of us don't get shards sometimes?

...I guess that's a fair question but shouldn't they be asking the echoes instead of us?

Yeah, I think so ... The second one, definitely.

It's easy enough to answer, anyway. We're just set up differently, and we have a few more options to gain back shards than the other teams here.

Yeah. Good point.

...so, uh.

Do you want me to. Take those two? [Gestures at...those two questions.]

M-Maybe for the second one, we could just answer with, "The kind that's worn underneath other clothes."

[ ... ]

We could both answer them! Together.

I think that's pretty much the only answer we can give if we're doing that one together without things getting weird [well, weirder.], so that sounds good.

Eheheh … [ S. SIGH. ]

Well, at least you won't have to be embarrassed on your own, Tama-san. [ Glances back at the list. ] But what about these other questions?

[ She's wrinkling her nose at the trust question. ]

Stupid ...

[Rubs his nose.]

Yeah. Some of these are pretty personal.

I don't mind answering most of these, but I almost feel like we should decline the one about trusting other teams, even if it costs us points. I don't know if I wanna single anybody out or make anybody else feel like we don't trust them.

[Plus, there's the sticky wicket of speaking for the other 10 members of their team that aren't present.]

Edited 2015-10-30 05:03 (UTC)

Maybe if we say …

[ Aoko pauses for a moment, gathering her thoughts. ]

I don't know about you, Tama-san, but I don't trust or distrust other "teams". It's silly to judge people according to the color they wear.

...y'know, that's true. I have a couple people on a couple teams I really trust, but I don't even know some of the rest of the people on them. So let's just say something like that.

[He keeps thinking for a second, looking over the other questions. The 'do you consider yourselves a team' and 'what makes you feel like you belong on this team' ones hit pretty close to home too. Apparently they were the only ones concerned with keeping things light. Geez.]

I don't get this. We all live in the same place, eat in the same place, sleep in the same place. we all share the same patron. How does that not make us a team.

[...he lets out a sigh and pinches the bridge of his nose.] Ugh. I'm getting defensive. That's probably not good.

… [ So, what if Aoko tries to hook her arm through yours, Tama, and lean into your side just a little? ]

I find it annoying, too, but … maybe they're just trying to understand something they see as "different". [ She lets out a little sigh, staring at the questions for a long, thoughtful moment. ] We're a team because we're together, just like any of the others here. We belong … because we want to be together.

[...Tama smiles, both at the gesture and at her answer. He nods a little.]

Yeah. I guess from the outside, it must be pretty hard to get an accurate idea of how things work for us sometimes... ...who knows, maybe this could be a good opportunity to fix that a little.

...I think we both probably have the same answer to the last two. [About Estelle and actual actual cats, respectively. Tama wouldn't make all of his quest and mini-game items cat-themed if he didn't like them.]

[ That small smile of hers widens. ]

Mm! I think so. In that case, are we all set?

[He nods.]

Yeah. Let's do it.

The time has come to give your answers! Answers spoken while still in your team room will be taken to whoever asked through mysterious means.

[Once you're ready to turn in your private answers, please make a new comment titled submission! If you want to give your answer publicly, go here.]
