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.

[ He's also been walking around idly taking note of all the cameras that he could spot, but it's not until he follows Luka's gaze that he spots a smaller one he'd almost missed. ]

I suppose that would be nice. [ Turning a little to give that sneaky camera a little wave. ] You sound pretty comfortable with it. Being seen by so many cameras.

[beatmatching]

I'm used to being on the stage, but this isn't my first TV show either.

[ his smile is confident, naturally. ]

I take it that it's yours?

[phenomerom]

That it would be. I've livestreamed plenty, but this feels more unfamiliar than I expected. It's one thing getting used to a single camera you operate, another to be filmed by so many cameras manned by strangers.

[ He's carrying himself confidently enough, but wow, he can't hold a candle to this guy. ]

I don't suppose you have any advice, as a veteran television star?

[beatmatching]

[ oh luka gets it and he chuckles. ]

It's quite the adjustment.

Hmm...I would decide on how you want to present yourself, first.

[phenomerom]

Of course. Playing a bit of a character.

[ What kind of presentation is this guy aiming for, then? Ethereal prince? ]

But given how the cameras will be on us at all hours, that must get tiring after a while. Or do you simply soldier through it.

[beatmatching]

[ pretty much! ]

That's where your dedication to your craft would come in. Though it's easier if you embrace what comes natural to you already.

[phenomerom]

[ Dedication to craft, huh. ]

Embrace what comes natural ... Is that what you've done for yourself, Luka-san?

[beatmatching]

Of course. Why would I want to be anything but my best?
