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.

I'm not despairing! But I will be. . . cautiously practical.

[that seems like the best thing to do until he sees what, exactly, the staff has stocked up for them]

But as long as it isn't instant, I think we'll all persevere.

[enscene]

[Heavens help him if the instant coffee in the kitchen is the first kind that he finds...]

Then, for your quest, I bestow upon you... just a greeting for good luck, because that's all I can give you!

[What, did he think she could hand out a blessing or something like that?]

Shall I serve you a slice of this cake for when you return?

[ordimame]

[thank god that it isn't]

[that gets a small laugh out of him, endeared by the playful turn of phrase]

I'd be honored, ma'am. It'll be something to look forward to.

[enscene]

See, even if your journey doesn't take you where you hoped, you'll have something waiting for you when you get back!

[She's not sure she really qualifies as a ma'am just yet, though, even if she's getting older (500 year-old hag here).]

Whose name should I put on this slice?

[ordimame]

Edamura Mokoto. You can just call me Edamura.

But it's only fair if I get yours in return, right?

[enscene]

Then, Monsieur Edamura, this cake will be waiting for your return!

[He doesn't even know how generous that's being, but the cake is for all of them, after all.]

Just come back at request the Furina special! ...On second thought, just find me and I'll give you your cake. [Waving him off before he has time to realize she said something incredibly silly.]
