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.

[ She's got his hackles up now, and his gaze narrows especially on that one word. Turning. ]

I think it is impolite to ask questions couched in assumptions. If you wish to know why I am here, I am here for the prospect of love and the promise of the wish. The rest of the details do not matter.

Now if you will excuse me, I am going to put my things away.

[ So he isn't fond of the notion. Odile knows... she is not the easiest person to get along with, especially when she's prodding the way she is now, and so she inclines her head. ]

I see my questions have struck several nerves, Nicodème. My curiosity often... gets the better of me, in the worst of ways, and I'd like to apologize for that. All I've known of your kind is through folktales [ and horromance stories, ] and in my eagerness to see what is true and what is not, I spoke, yes, with assumption.

[ And, while she is not the... best... at feelings stuff, she can at least admit when she is in the wrong. ]

You needn't forgive my transgression, but I had no intention of angering you with my inquiries. That I can promise.

[ He gives her a long look, that crimson gaze seeming to pierce right through her. ]

Then consider this a lesson in tact, madame. You do not know me.

Now as I said, excuse me.

[ With that, he stalks into the house. He feels a bit bad leaving the conversation like that, but she really hit his buttons in a bad way. He's gonna need a bit to cool off. ]
