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.

["And, you know".

Oh wow. Ringo had no idea such a beautiful lady lived in such a spicy place.

Still, it helps to hear this sort of thing. She pauses to consider it as well, matching up "passionate" with the picture Yingying makes. It overlaps pretty nicely, she thinks... but Ringo still isn't sure how to figure out her own.]

Passionate... yeah, I can picture that. There's good balance then with the innocent type, if you're the passionate one.

Right? It's cute how they get so shy, and stumble over their words....

[ Which she can say in good company, since it's pretty obvious by this point that Ringo isn't that type at all. Is it even possible to fluster her?! She'll have to find out in the coming weeks... ]

You seem a bit more like... the go with the flow type?

You think so?

[!!

Ringo doesn't sound disbelieving. Rather, she sounds very eager to have some Clues to figuring this out.]

Yeah, maybe I am. That does sound like me. Didn't realize that could be a type, but that sure makes things a lot simpler!

Soooo, how do you feel about the go with the flow type?

[SHAMELESS]

[ oh my god

That makes her bust out laughing, surprised but charmed by Ringo's forwardness. Daintily, a well manicured hand covers her mouth, eyes creasing in delight. ]

Oh my, are you so eager to go on a date with me? I won't say no~

[ Does that answer her question? Ringo is beautiful — she has that lovely, eccentric hair color, and is full of surprises. All things Yingying is thoroughly interested in. Moreover... ]

I believe in living in the present — letting go of the past. A go with the flow type seems to fit nicely, I think.

[Damn, that went well! This dating thing is sooooo easy!!! Saizo and Archer and Milady were truly making such a big deal over nothing.

Ringo thinks, cluelessly.]

Totally! And I like people who have a lot of passion for things! It makes the world way more fun.

So I'm absolutely asking you on a date, because I think we'll have a great time.

[ ringo: i'm getting a good grade in dating which is both normal to want and possible to achieve ]

Hehehe.... I'll look forward to it then. Treat me properly!

[ She singsongs, mostly joking. ]

Do you have any ideas on what you like to do on dates? Everyone has different likes, you know.

[ some people like to eat, others like seeing something scenic, and still others like doing something active or fun. She has a guess of which type Ringo might be, but she'll let her answer first before butting in with commentary. ]

[exactly.

Ringo considers that with a hand to her chin, contemplative.]

Hmmm! Well, I do like trying new foods. Humans have really good taste when it comes to that stuff! But mostly, I'm all about trying new things. New experiences are a blast.

Any of that sound good to you?

I do like trying new things... I moved recently, and there's always a lot of new food and technology I've never heard of! I just can't get my fill.

[ So, likewise, she's fascinated by the new and unusual, always eager to try new things. On the other point, though -- ]

But what do you mean, "humans?" You aren't one...?

[ <-- girl who didnt understand like 80% of the profiles ]

[She is lovely and right for that, honestly.]

Nope, not me. I'm an AI--that is to say, an artificially created personality and consciousness. The body's synthetic, too.

You're not human either, right?

[ Synthetic.... artificially created.... she's just going to smile and nod. The important part is that Ringo isn't human! ]

Mm, I wonder... [ She beams, obviously taking enjoyment in Ringo's assessment of her other worldliness. ] Most people call me a spirit, or a fairy.

Oh! I'm familiar with fairies.

[Deeply familiar, in fact.]

No wonder. They're known for being bewitching and beautiful, so that fits to a T!

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. ]

[And Ringo laughs at that.]

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

Go on, I'm listening~

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

[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?

"Primary objective?"

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

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

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.
