Welcome to week two, Teens Who Are Definitely Searching for Love!

Hopefully everyone got a lot of rest over the weekend, and are bright-eyed and bushy-tailed for the upcoming week, because there are a few things of interest this week.

But first, some changes of note in the house!

First: there is a giant rectangular box on the living room table, addressed to Lessing. It is a care package. The only thing in it is his sword.

There is some Bauernbrot bread on the counter. Ask Lessing about that too.

There is now a hot tub near the pool. It’s large enough to seat about six teens comfortably, but you can get more in there if you really try for some reason.

Okay I think that’s everything. Additionally, Tsukasa is here early this week! He’s looking pretty perky, seemingly recovered from the Match Ceremony, and he’s got some interesting info to share with everyone.

[It really is adorable how much more flustered the boys seem to be about this whole thing. Dorothea leans over to teasingly bump her shoulder against his.]

Wow, don’t sound so excited about it, Joey, a girl might get the wrong idea…

[The smile, the wink, the tease triple threat. She can’t help herself.]

[haircared]

[ When his second spin comes around.... ]

Tsukasa? Are you playing?

[ the bottle landed on him as he walked by oh no!!! but also maybe kissing one of the boys is less intimidating...... the girls are too powerful and also he's just built different than all the no homo'ers ]

1/2

[aspirings]

[oh.

hello.

Tsukasa pauses, then just like.

Points at himself with this dumb blank smile on his face.

Whomst?

ryuji

[boneface]

[ come onnnnnnn, kiss him! ]

2/2

[aspirings]

[It's rude to just stand there, though, so he does come closer, blinking as he tilts his head.]

Ah... I can't help with your scavenger hunts, unfortunately. The footage will probably also be unusable...

[But if Josuke's okay with all of that, then...???]

[haircared]

[ He bumps her shoulder back in retaliation, brow furrowing. ]

— You know that's not what I meant.

[ He's just, like, really serious about making sure it's okay with the girls, because he thinks about his MOM and how her heart was BROKEN by irresponsible guys that go around kissing girls willy-nilly. He'd hate to be a sleazebag or a jerk... ]

You're seriously fine with it?

[rosethorns]

Wonderful!

[Dorothea gets up to scooch over to where Ritsuka is sitting, settling down beside her and leaning over slightly with a smile.]

I’m ready when you are~

[For all her bluster, there might be a little flutter in her chest. Ritsuka is very cute, after all.]

[rosethorns]

[ 😬 ]

[inparfait]

But what if I want to have fun?

[ tugging his sleeve and looking up at him oh so innocently. ]

[haircared]

[ Oh, so he can't help with the lists... that's a shame. Still: ]

Well, maybe, I still feel bad you can't really hang out with us most of the time...

[ Isn't it lonely?! The rest of them have fifteen other people in the house to hang out with all the time, but this must be a job for Tsukasa. He wants him to feel included :( ]

Here, just lean down. It landed on you, so I gotta.

[ Rerolling would be taking the easy way out??? Besdies, the first spin was the worst and scariest one; now he's slowly becoming a little more confident. ]

[makeine]

[ don't worry she doesn't seem bothered.








ignore how she's gripping her water bottle. just having a good time here. dorothea is so beautiful and has Qualities that will might find attractive................ no. be good. dorothea wouldn't go for a three pointer with will. they agreed he was a sweetheart after all. and that anna was lucky to nab him.

the grip relaxes. a little. this is fine and allowed. ]

[haircared]

[ WHY DOES SHE LOOK SO SURPRISED IT LANDED ON HER??? DOES SHE NOT WANT TO DO IT?? HE'LL PREVENT THIS ]

Oh, are you — not playing? No big deal, if so...

[rosethorns]

[A light exhale of a laugh, and she shakes her head.]

I know, I know.

[She supposes if it’s his roundabout way of being a gentleman about the whole thing, then there’s nothing to complain about.]

But yes, I’m fine. It’s just a little fun for the game, right? I wouldn’t have sat down to join in if I was afraid of the idea of a little kissing.

[singurarity]

[ Incorrect, Ritsuka is *~*average*~*.

But also continues to not be a wimp, so she's reaching out to gently clasp Dorothea's chin so she can lean in and kiss her.

Steve must be so jealous. ]

[singurarity]

[ ... uh. ]

Kiss on the hand?

1/2

[makeine]

[ ............. ]

2/2

[makeine]

[ okay ]

[hgeegh]

Phew . . .

[He expels the last of his hysteria with a sigh, soothed by her hand on his back. It's nice, very nice, but he soon pulls back.]

Thanks, Ritsuka. Sorry about that. Uh . . . Is it your turn now?

[aspirings]

[Josuke is so cute... of course he can't help, they're for the contestants to get to know each other!

Still.

He tilts his head at that, blinking a little, but he does obediently lean down a bit.

???]

Like this?

[aspirings]

[oh my god]

This is a good opportunity for you to get to know the others better, you know...

[... Then again, maybe not............

He sighs, moving with the tugging.]

I shouldn't stay long. Me being here distracts from everyone working so hard on their scavenger hunt sheets.

[rosethorns]

[Okay, Dorothea's turn rolls around again. She gives it a hardy spin, where oh where will it go.......

It's Anna!

A momentary blink of surprise, then she can't help a little laugh.]

Looks like it's your turn, Annie!

[haircared]

[ Perfect! Josuke nods, leans over and up a bit from where he's sitting, and puts his hand on Tsukasa's opposite cheek so he can pull him closer. All so that he can give him a firm, several-seconds-long kiss on the cheek. Giving the homies a lil kiss on the cheek goodnight is light work no reaction... well, maybe a little bit of a reaction, his ears are pink. But he's a pretty affectionate person, as the show has probably already captured, so he doesn't think there's anything bad about this, as long as all parties are okay with it. ]

There, that oughta do it. Thanks, man.

[makeine]

[ oh!!!!!

thank goodness will doesn't care. well, she wishes he did a little, but their relationship isn't... anyway. it's fine. ]

I've never kissed a girl before... Be gentle with me, Dori-chan.

[ eat your hearts out and etc, anna'll scoot closer with some curiosity. not against it really, but guys are definitely her preference... ]

[gravkitty]

No! I'm playing! [She doesn't a little squeaky.] I just didn't plan ahead for if it landed on me! I forget it could do that.

[So she's a little surprised that she's ended up playing the very game she proposed...]
