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.

[ Fou sniffs at his hand.

And huffs, a little. Someone's grumpy. ]

... He warms up with time.

[hgeegh]

Sorry . . . I couldn't stop him from getting away.

[He'll make up for it by getting the door as they head back ourside.]

Is he yours?

[singurarity]

More like a partner than a pet. This little guy and I have been through a lot!

[ Fondly, even as she carries him back outside to plunk him in the basin. ]

So don't worry about him getting past you. He's pretty fast.

[willandaway]

[definitely grumpy!!]

It's okay. I understand.

[directing his smile at Fou]

But we'll be friends in no time.

[is that a threat]

[boneface]

[ He's not going to give up!! He is Determined. Multiple conversations have led here and he is making a dogged effort to make this happen.

Which means he bumps into the invisible wall again WHAT THE HELL. ]

Ugh, effin'—

[ Pounding on it a few times and then sighing, very deeply. ]

Look, five minutes. That's all. You can also punch me in the face, if ya want. Knock my teeth out, I don't care!

[boneface]

ryuji + will = give us anything you want
ryuji + mark = make it super bro-y THIS IS BRO TIMES FOR BROS!!!!

[showhost]

uno
dos

[hgeegh]

[Sanji finds himself feeling a little envious of Fou . . . ]

Hmm . . . What is he?

[willandaway]

WILL AND STEVE (stevill) for an rng!!!

[newlugers]

dates for anna and lessing with steve pwease!! rng me

[flaweddetective]

[It would be tempting to go just to throw a punch but he's pretty certain the wall works both ways. Should have punched back when he had the chance since not punching didn't do him any favors. Should have just gone for it.

What's done is done at this point.]

Thought I wasn't supposed to look at you. Or talk to you. Or do anything. A one way street since you can still try and bait me. But at the request of some of the people here I'm supposed to leave you alone. The way people are talking you'd think I punched you, huh?

If you've had some dawning realization you can save it. The last thing I need is some self righteous speech. I don't care what it's about but I can save you the trouble and we can skip to the end where I tell you to shove it. You don't know me and you will never understand me. And quite frankly... I don't want you to. I just want to get through this.

stevill

[showhost]

anna!
lessing!

[singurarity]

...

Well, you heard him.

[ Fou huffs again. Louder. ]

Actually, while I have you here, wanna try that scavenger hunt thing?

[willandaway]

Oh, sure.

[TIME TO. . . take off his wet gloves and then dig his list out of his pocket]

What does your list look like?

[inparfait]

What? No!!!!

[ he's flailing now. could he get out of this if he tried? maybe. but time to flail instead. ]

[gravkitty]

ok i THINK this is it unless i get any more sleeper requests this week. thank you!!

maomao + kat (meow^2) - rng
kat + akechi - whatever production had planned for them!!
kat + steve - sibprise us please! (rng)

[hgeegh]

[He clicks his tongue.]

I'm leaving now, so quit fussing.

[The bathroom door clicks shut. Sanji moves on to another room, wondering if he should tuck Minami against his side instead.]

[boneface]

[ Well, that's, you know, more honest than he expected Akechi to be on camera. So — honestly, that's a plus! That's what Ryuji wanted! But he's still aching to have this conversation. Still needs them to talk. ]

Five minutes. S'all I ask. Not a self righteous speech, not a dawning realization. Just an honest convo, real quick, with no cameras.

You can tell me to shove it after, promise. And w-with the way the room works, pretty sure you'll be able to punch me in there if you want. Whatever the eff is going on won't work there.

meowmeow
akecheow
steve........meow

[gravkitty]

oh my god i hope those workers are actually at the diner

[aspirings]

yes absolutely

[flaweddetective]

[He's in Hell. This is Hell.

Akechi lets out a long suffering sigh that causes his bangs to flutter a little. People here can't leave well enough alone and there's a handful of do-gooders that can be blamed for this.]

Fine. Fine. If it makes you leave me alone. [He can't spend three weeks with Ryuji banging on this barrier trying to talk to him.] Five minutes.

[Maybe. Depending on what gets said he'll just leave.]

[counton]

For Lessing and Maomao maybe something like this for inspo?

[boneface]

[ The way Ryuji just... absolutely brightens when Akechi says that. Like the sun comes out behind the clouds kind of brightens. He just... looks ecstatic. ]

Thank you!

[ PHEW. WHAT A RELIEF. ]

C'mon, let's go.

[ And he's going to start heading there...! Time to put in a comment. ]
