week one | arrival
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:

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.

[Ringo grins a little, spreading her hands.]
I was created to save the world, and then I did that, and now I've still got the body and the personality, but I think Ringo was supposed to be temporary.
It's kind of unclear if that's still the case or not, so I'm gonna enjoy what I've got while I've got it!
no subject
[ Like, who can say she has to go away? Rude honestly. ]
no subject
[She really meant more in the sense that she had no idea how long this synthetic body will last, but! Who knows! Maybe it'll last for decades!]
Still, no reason to not experience all I can anyway. No time like the present, isn't that how it goes?
no subject
No time at all, indeed. But cramming your whole life into a small frame of time isn't wise either. Some experiences are meant to be savored, rather than checked off.
[ Not saying that she is, but as like. A reminder. Sort of. From the oldest (normal) to the youngest (abnormal). ]
Well, whatever works for you. I find myself more interested in your occupation.
no subject
Hmmm... the devil summoner bit, or the world saving bit?
no subject
[ Saving the world seems to be a small trend here, right now. ]
no subject
Devil summoners do exactly what it sounds like! We deal with devils and demons. Make deals, chat 'em up, use 'em in battle, fight them when they're causing problems... it's pretty fun, to be honest!
no subject
[ She wants to see... ]
no subject
[A shrug.]
Didn't think I'd need more than one in a place like this. Wanna say hi?
no subject
[ See, this? Better than kiss research. ]
no subject
Regardless, she just shrugs a bit, and holds a hand out. The diamond-shaped tattoo on her leg lifts up from it, transforming into a gun. This is actually her COMP. Don't worry about it.]
Right then! Come on out to say hi, Jack Frost!
[And with a flash of light, there's Jack Frost.
It waves a stubby little arm. "Hee-hello, ho!"]
no subject
Nevermind, what an objectively adorable bright creature. Don't mind if she circles them both for a moment. ]
It even speaks. Hee-hello, Jack Frost. My name is Odile.
no subject
"Of course I spea-hee-k, lady, ho! What do you hee-take me for?"
... Ringo just shrugs, arms spread. That's Jack Frost for you.
"I'm Jack Frost, ho! I'm a local celebrit-hee!"]
no subject
[ Mind, her voice has not changed at all. She is straight faced doing this. ]
Are you and Rin-ho partners, or would you say she-hee is your master of a kind?
no subject
Jack Frost does a little twirl.
"We-hee've got an understanding! So-ho right now, I listen to her directions, ho. Who knows, though-ho! Someday mayb-hee I'll be the one giving the orders!"
...]
Uh huh. Sure. Keep dreaming.
no subject
[ What a fun little guy! ]
He reminds me of Boniface, a child we were taking care of while the country was in danger. Thank you for introducing us, Ringo.
[ And to Jack Frost: ]
Let's talk again, shall we-hee? It has been mo-ho-st enjoyable.
no subject
"Sure, ho! But you sure talk funny, lady!"
THE INSULT. THE CRUELTY.
Ringo is stifling a laugh as Jack Frost returns to her COMP.]
No self-awareness at all... guess you can't expect much else from a demon.
no subject
Definitely like Boniface. ]
Or a child, for that matter. Very interesting manner of-- summoning, did you call it? We haven't any Craft that mimics such, though it appears more... Magical, than that.
no subject
Yeah? Well, before we dig into that, let's start with: what's a Craft?
no subject
[ ... There is going to be a lot of words in the second one. ]
no subject
Hit me with it!
[Sorry.]
no subject
... Odile can demonstrate well enough, when it comes to it. For now she folds her hands into her sleeves, comfortable. ]
I'll warn you now, I'm not much of a teacher.
[ But, with that given... ]
Every person where I come from is born with the innate talent to wield one of three Crafts: Piercing Craft, which excels in all manner of blade use, Protecting Craft, which excels where ones hands are concerned, and Creative Craft, which I was born with. Anything to do with paper tends to be our specialty, and these three Crafts encompass a general sense of both regular crafting and willful Crafting.
[ ... It is hard to tell, but there is a difference, which is why she explains it as such. ]
One can craft without Crafting, but one cannot use Crafts without crafting. This applies to Restorative, Regenerative, and Revival type skills as well, though they aren't bound to any particular Craft and can be molded to fit ones' flair. One of my companions takes inspiration from empowering young women who transform into heroic forms with the power of friendship, love, etc, and another's chosen medium is puns.
What matters is that each Craft has its own somatic and/or verbal components. Do you follow so far?
no subject
Just to make sure I'm following--that's "one can craft-lowercase-c without Crafting-uppercase-C, but one cannot use Crafts-uppercase-C without crafting-lowercase-c", yeah?
no subject
[ Haha. Maybe she isn't so bad after all. ]
Any other questions before I continue?
no subject
[Ringo beams, nodding along.]
Keep going!
