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.

[ CLOSES HER FUCKING EYES ]

Boys. [ i don't think we can blame boys as a whole for this one ]

[singurarity]

[ Just--blinking at the cigarette trick. ]

... Right.

[ Help?? ]

[flaweddetective]

[Huh. Mark wants to hang out with him again. He thinks that's pretty weird but also... he smiles. Might as well, right?]

I don't see why not. What do you like to do for fun? I never got out too much myself back home but I do enjoy a good physical endurance type of thing. Ah, maybe we can go biking.

[haircared]

[ He gives her an I don't know look, shrugging his shoulders. ]

Either something's up with him, or he's smoking some weird cigarettes.

[makeine]

[ sorry. she can't reject her gut feelings. making a face at sanji, though. come on dude. ]

Right? I totally think so too. Mark-kun's really sweet... and he really shines when he's feeling himself. I'm a faithful woman, Josuke-kun, but I can't deny that my heart skipped during spin the bottle.

[ his confidence................... clenches fist. a soft huff. ]

Ugh. He just needs to be bolder, and then he'd snag any smile he wanted!

[warhawks]

Yeah. [ A shrug. ] So I'm fine.

... I didn't come here looking for romance, anyway. That's just pathetic.

sorry

[warhawks]

You shoved the whole piece in your mouth. Is that what you're like with everything? No wonder you're so popular.

[singurarity]

I'm glad he's healthy, but that's kind of incredible.

I also didn't know you could do health checks??

[ Dang, Josuke. ]

You jump i jump kat. he'll white knight just this once.

[flaweddetective]

[Record scratch.]

Hey. What the hell is your problem?

[titlecard]

[ He smiles back, encouraged. ]

Oh, biking would be good! I haven't gotten to do that in ages. [ why bike when you can fly— ] Especially if we've both been kind of cooped up in here, huh? It can be kind of like... our thing, I guess.

[haircared]

Mm. It's hard to explain, but...

[ He waves his hand vaguely. ]

When I touch something, I can tell if something's wrong. Like if I touch a machine, I can tell if a screw's loose. [ It's a sixth sense, in some ways. It's like his ability hones in on all things out of place or abnormal. ] It's kind of the same with the body. I don't need to see an injury to heal it.

[makeine]

Why are men so disgusting? A girl bats her lashes and they just lose it? Talk about pathetic.

[ i don't think we can either but ]

[warhawks]

[ THIS guy ]

What the hell is your problem? I wasn't talking to you.

[makeine]

[ girl she's getting elbowed. ]

Mii-chan, c'mon.

[titlecard]

[ ...

moving right past that one too ]

What did you come here for, then? I know I came here for the wish.

[ at first. but maybe he's here a little bit for the romance now too, who knows. ]

[flaweddetective]

Sakamoto-san and I go jogging every morning. You should join us. But I love a good bike ride. It's easier than owning a car in Japan, just biking from place to place, so I do it a lot.

[Our thing, huh?]

Yeah. That sounds fun.

[haircared]

[ That makes him laugh. ]

Yeah, me too. I pretty much gave up in the first week.

[singurarity]

That's really cool! It's like we have an in-house doctor even more than I thought.

[ Definitely impressive. ]

[flaweddetective]

No. What the hell is your problem? She ate a candy and you compared her to being easy. Are you so bitter about your low standing with the guys here that you have to attack everyone around you?

I don't care if she put six of these lemon candies and two bananas in her mouth there's no grounds for attacking her because you're an unhappy person.

[willandaway]

[H]

[HELP]

. . . oh. . .

[what does he even say to that??]

[gravkitty]

[That's an insult, and contrary to all accusations of stupidity, she knows it's an insult. And by the way she kind of gasps and draws back a little bit, it should be obvious that she does get it.

But things are not about Kat right now; so she squares up and answers directly instead of letting herself be angry or hurt.]

You're right. I do have a tendency to bite off more than I can chew. I guess my eyes are really bigger than my stomach.

[haircared]

[ He lets out a dry exhale. ]

Don't get too excited. I can't fix colds.

[ yall are on your own if you get sick... ]

[makeine]

[ she is! someone who loves love! so much! and hates it at the same time! "cooking is love" really got to her!

... because... there as a kind of care in the way she prepared nukumizu's, too. nothing romantic, but she took time out of her morning, just like she's doing now, to make him something anyway. to pay off a debt, because it was fun having lunch with him, because she wanted to see his face change from that dumb unimpressed stoicism to something surprised and happy--

but anna understands, because it's the thought that's put into every motion. so the eggs are a little crispy at the ends, the yolk isn't perfectly runny, and there might be a tad more sugar than sanji might prefer... but it is made with care, with gratitude, and both must make the simple dish sparkle in front of him when she sets the bowl heaped with rice in front of him, egg laid carefully on top. and a fork, of course. though she's got the option of chopsticks since she'll be using it herself, and soy sauce as an addition if wanted... ]

Dig in!

[singurarity]

[ Okay, hold on, she's moving in now to gently shoulder nudge. ]

She's not right. Don't for a second believe she is.

[haircared]

[ He agrees... Mark is cute because he's shy, but he would really shine if he got bolder. This is why his budding crush started, anyway. But let's not talk about him. Cheerfully: ]

He'll get there, eventually. [ anyways: ] I thought you might like more shy types.
