week one | arrival

[showhost]

The characters arrive in various vehicles suiting their canon (maybe a limo, maybe a chocobo), and are dropped off in front of a a lovely house in the middle of a big city. It’s tucked away behind some tall fencing, so that nobody can snoop on the production of the show, but nonetheless sounds of the city around them filter in. They each are able to bring one suitcase with stuff in it, which includes whatever clothing they want to bring (and Kat gets to bring her cat).

Welcome to your new home for the next couple of weeks!

From the moment you step into the house, the cameras are on you, recording your every move and word. Guess that’s something you’ll have to get used to.

And then there’s a young man, around your age, spreading his arms wide with a grin. You've probably met him for your interview already, or maybe that'll happen later, but either way? He is loud.

"Ha ha ha! Welcome to your new home, everyone! Settle in, settle in, don’t be shy! I–"

He is then ushered away by some of the production staff, where they argue in hushed whispers over whether or not he got overexcited and jumped in before his cue. Well. You can probably talk to that guy again later. Don’t worry about it.

Regardless, time to settle in! A few things of note about your new abode:

• There’s only one bedroom, which you will all be sharing.
  
• The bedroom has sets of bunk beds.
  
• Keen-eyed characters will note that there are not enough beds for everyone. There are only 13 beds.
  
• There is a weird pillow that is specifically made for Lessing’s horns. Don’t steal it from him. Or do, I’m not your mom.
  
• The kitchen is well-stocked with all sorts of ingredients to make whatever you might miss from home.
  
• There is a cheesy banner strung up over the living room that says WELCOME, THOSE WHO SEARCH FOR LOVE. It’s sparkly.
  
• Also in the living room is a screen which displays everyone’s profiles. It’s a touch screen, so you can swipe through and view all of them.
  
• There is cake to celebrate your arrival!

Time to get to know each other! Or stake your claim on a bed, or make lunch, or go swimming–whatever your little teen hearts desire! Remember, the name of the game is finding your perfect match, so… time to start that romance speed run!

[ is this a bit... because that doesn't sound real. Cool, yes, but not real. ]

Huh? No, of course not. Why would I do that?

[newlugers]

You just said a bunch of made-up stuff to me. I'm not stupid.

[ this is a lie. fortunately, will is too cute and well-meaning for steve to actually get pissy at him for now. ]

It's. . . not made-up? [hewwo?] The Tradia Desert is just outside Grand Trad.
