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.

holy shit those yy icons turned out SO good

[enscene]

[Oh...she smells nice. Luckily, Furina does not cram her foot into her mouth immediately by remarking on it, but her face gets a little hot all the same.]

I'm not shy! I'm just...thinking about how things are going to work out in the mornings. We'll be competing for all the facilities.

SHE'S SO PRETTYFUL

[embellwish]

[ Oh, no, she can see her face getting hot. That's like catnip to Yingying... she is pressing down on L3 to lock on to Furina as a terrorizing target. Yingying will remember that. Very helpfully, she doesn't move away in the slightest, tapping a finger to her chin in thought &mddash; she's really trying to think of a good solution to help Miss Furina out. ]

Why not try waking up extra early, then? They say the early bird gets the worm... you might even have time to take a quick nap afterwards.

[ She'll even help! She'll just put her right back to sleep... still teasing, she goes on: ]

I'm sure the others will understand you need your beauty time, [ She lifts a finger to brush it through one of Furina's curly strands of hair next to her face, the movement casual and graceful. ] With such a cute style like that.

[enscene]

[



Okay, no, her flush isn't bad enough to make her steam or anything silly like that. But she does feel very I-need-an-adult about this fairly unusual for her sweetness.]

Ugh, you're teasing me, demoiselle! [She is very aware that it's happening, and thus she must huff out a little protest. The compliment doesn't feel genuinely paid, as convincing as the gentle affection might otherwise be.]

Getting up early really can't be helped with a production like this. We'll be on Kamera all the time, so there will be plenty of things to keep us busy and plenty of things to keep us up at night. At least I won't have any trouble falling asleep in a strange place.

[embellwish]

[ Looking like the cat who just got the cream, Yingying beams, not even feeling a mite of shame. She could just eat Furina right up. ]

Oh, you have that "dam-way-cell" saying, too. Like Verso and Nicodème. When you're not busy being kept up...

[ They must all be countrymen... hehe. ]

Does that mean you usually do have trouble sleeping, then...?

[enscene]

[How else to communicate being French, but not French?]

How about that, ahaha? [If she reflects on it too much, then it becomes strange. She doesn't think any of them are from the same place, but there are more similarities than differences between most of them here.]

On the contrary, by the time I get to bed, I'm usually so exhausted that I've floated before my head hits the pillow. [The quality of that sleep...varies.] What's wrong with having to adjust to sleeping in a new place?
