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.

That's what I think.

[since that was his other choice!]

[flaweddetective]

It makes the most sense. And Mark picks one of the remaining ladies this week which should lock him up, assuming Sanji and Dorothea are a match. We'll be in a good place for week three.

[makeine]

Totally on board!

[ the less of a chance she has going in there the better! ]

[singurarity]

If they're a match, it gives Mark a smaller pool to pick from and if not, he and Doro-chan also seem pretty close, so...

Either way, I think we'll have a better idea.

[makeine]

Are they sensitive?

[ she's getting into the gritty. ]

[gravkitty]

[Kat nods.] I think we better.

I think you're great for Lessing, too, actually, but...

[She actually does have tact and she's not about to be like NOW YOU HAVE A BETTER CHANCE OF BEING MARK'S MATCH in front of god and everyone and their salad.]

[singurarity]

My thoughts exactly!

--Well, he won't be able to pick this week, but maybe one of the ladies can pick him and we'll see how it looks...

[titlecard]

[ immediately blushes ]

I— Yeah, maybe!

[ he'd almost picked her at the match ceremony... ]

[singurarity]

... Not really up for verifying it, huh?

[willandaway]

Yes, I think so, too.

[pleased!!]

That hint really did steer us in the right direction.

[titlecard]

[ After recent revelations, the shrug does not go unnoticed... But also Mark figures it's best to not bother Akechi with this, so he'll just give him a small tilt of his head.

It still is a huge hint, so, yeah. ]

[makeine]

And miss out on the daily changes in this place? I don't think so. You guys need all the help you can get, seriously.

[ ... ]

[singurarity]

I kinda feel like he's helped me more than I've helped him lately, but... [ help ]

I think we should probably wait and see how it looks, right? I really think you're just as valid an option, Kat.

[singurarity]

[ haaa.. ]

Well! Happy to have you!

[makeine]

[ she's rearranging her mind's string board right now. mark and ritsuka... josuke and sanji seemed to have Something going on during spin the bottle... ]

It's totally worth a shot!

[haircared]

[ Ah... well, haha. In a rare show of disappointment, it takes him a second to muster up a smile back. He can be a cool guy about this... he feels bad for trying to push Mark now, and needs to be fine. Mark shouldn't feel apologetic. ]

Hah.... I guess it's a good thing we picked you for the hint, then... if I was picking this week, I would've picked you.

[ Earnestly, because it's true. He's not ashamed to admit it. ]

[titlecard]

Oh— Um, yeah.

[ He gives Lessing a little smile, like, yeah! He's okay! ]

I mean, Josuke's awesome, but so are a lot of the girls here. I'm sure everything's still gonna work out.

[counton]

This is true.

[ He's got a lot of good options still, and if it's like that...

Maybe the time spent together fostered a decent friendship, but not much else? That would be better for both of them if that's the case. ]

1/2

[titlecard]

[ just

blushes ]

2/2

[titlecard]

[ And, once he's recovered— ]

Hey, man. [ Playfully punches Josuke's upper arm with a little laugh. ] We're still gonna hang out a bunch.

[singurarity]

[ Awwww. She's just smiling quietly. ]

[aspirings]

Impeccable technique, too! I've yet to play a major role in a romantic play, but I'll have to remember the angle you used.

[flawless...... I mean wxs will never do a romance because then the shippers in the fanbase will be mad but you know

Tsukasa doesn't know that]

[aspirings]

[as if Tsukasa knows enough to compliment technique. Hilarious.

But he doesn't really know what Lessing is thinking, so this misunderstanding will persist.]

Indeed! I had no idea you could be so bold!

[hgeegh]

[Well, here's a pyrrhic victory if there ever was one. Sanji gives Mark a grateful nod.]

Thanks for checking in. [He pauses. How to say this . . . ] I was going to vote for the two of you. We'll have to do some reconsidering, so it's fine if you want to take time for yourself.

[titlecard]

[ He's good!! Thumbs up! Maybe his expression is kinda muted but it's still a thumbs up.

Especially when he'd been pretty close to picking Ritsuka last week... ]

Yeah, I think that's a good bet. Dorothea's got pretty good intuition [ he is assuming... he likes her too, so of course she has positive qualities ] so I could definitely see her getting it right right away.
