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 snorts, and then blandly:]

Yeah, yeah... still a scammer technique, though.

[She's just fussed that she got taken in by it, honestly.

And, petulantly:]

I'll just ask Turbo Granny when I get home about her haunting info.

[phenomerom]

[ Come on, he has to try. That said, he can't help looking a little intrigued by that. ]

Oh? You've a connection to the occult yourself?

[ From a supposed AI! And here he thought she might be especially disinterested in his shilling, but still shot his shot for the sake of it. ]

[hexensabbat]

Oh, yeah.

[Said in the "oh, I forgot I haven't mentioned it" sort of tone. Then she points to herself with a grin and:]

Local freelance Devil Summoner, at your service! I spend way more time with demons than ghosts, though.

[phenomerom]

[ ..................... hm! ]

I see. And exactly what services might a Devil Summoner provide by summoning all these devils?

[hexensabbat]

The usual services.

[She counts off on her fingers:]

Summoning demons, getting rid of demons, negotiating with demons, fetch quests, missing persons cases, saving the world, shaking demons down for rare items...
