week one | arrival

[marriagebroker]

The characters will arrive one by one, in whatever vehicle suits them the best to the front of estate. It's a beautiful estate filled with plants and trees and little ponds and all kinds of little hideaways. But it all cumulates at the main house, where they will be dropped off and greeted by a familiar face who stands outside the house and welcomes them in. They will be able to bring one suitcase with items and clothes as well as their pet(s?).

The main thing to notice when you step into the house though is that cameras are everywhere. Despite the many little hideaways of this house, there's no privacy whatsoever. Oh well!

When everyone is gathered together, the host from earlier will greet everyone with a merry:

"Welcome, my affection seeking friends! This is where you'll be staying the next few weeks. Find a place to settle in and get to know each other! I'll be around, in case you need anything."

He genuinely seems to mean it, at least?! But that seems to be it, he'll slip away in the meantime and leave you all to it.

A few things to note, of course:

• There is only one "bedroom" which is a large room, with a closet full of futons to roll out and use in said room. Sleepover time!


• There is an extra, extra, extra, extra large futon for Messmer.


• In one of the rooms of the estate, there is a lovely piano ready for use. Feel free to ask for more instruments, if you'd like.


• The kitchen is filled with food of all kinds and modern appliances so folks can cook whatever they'd like! There is also a bar in the kitchen, stocked with alcohol.


• In the living room, there is a screen showing everyone's profiles. It is touch screen, so feel free to swipe through!


• There is, of course, a banner in the living room reading 有緣千里來相會 (which, for the keen-eyed, translates to "Fate brings together those that are a thousand miles apart"). This was definitely written by the host.


• There is a welcome cake.

Uh-huh, uh-huh.... anything else you want to say about me?

[ She teases, fishing for more compliments shamelessly, even if it's in a joking manner. She wonders how much more she could squeeze out of her before told to knock it off.... hehe. ]

[hexensabbat]

[And Ringo laughs at that.]

Fishing for compliments now? I'm not great at flattery, but I can give it a shot.

[embellwish]

Go on, I'm listening~

[ ehe.... she's fluttering her eyelashes all demurely at her. ]

[hexensabbat]

[Right, hmmm.......]

Well, since I'm no good at flattery, I guess I'll just point out what I see?

You seem super smart to me. Like yeah, you're beautiful and lovely, but... [Hmmm.] That's the obvious stuff. Everyone can see that.

To me, it somehow feels like you've always got something going on underneath the surface. I don't think it's a bad something, though. Maybe your primary objective?

[embellwish]

"Primary objective?"

[ She tilts her head, interested in Ringo's choice of words. ]

You mean... something other than the competition itself, right?

[hexensabbat]

Yep, exactly. Not that I don't think you're taking things here seriously. Obviously you are.

[But, well.]

You strike me as the kind of person who can multitask, so. I figured you've got your reasons for coming on a show like this, and it can be for more than just love or a good time.
