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.

[ 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 ]

[oh.

hello.

Tsukasa pauses, then just like.

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

Whomst?

[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]

[ 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. ]

[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?

[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.

[aspirings]

[................???????

Oh......................

That was........... so cute.

Tsukasa leans into the cheek kiss when he figures out what's happening, and then:]

Higashikata! Such a beautiful display of brotherly love! [UWAAAAUGH...] Thank you!!

[He is............. crying. Not a lot and not seriously at all just OVERCOME with EMOTION.

sorry]

[makeine]

[ ... ]

You're so cute, Tsukasa-kun.

[aspirings]

[help

he recovers from the tears way too fast. This must happen a lot.]

Hm? Thank you, I think...?

[makeine]

[ hello???? ]

No "I think"s allowed, Host-san! Say thanks with your whole chest! A beautiful young woman's calling you cute!

1/2

[aspirings]

[but does he want to be cute..............

Regardless, he kind of reacts automatically to that, because Anna always knows exactly which buttons of his to push.]

Ah! Sorry!

Thank you very much! I'll strive to be ever cuter in the future!

2/2

[aspirings]

[... wait

does he even want to be cuter]

[makeine]

[ he's so easy it makes nukumizu seem like a challenge. ]

[haircared]

[ OH, NO... HE MADE HIM CRY........... this icon's time to shine

Josuke blinks, looking an even mix of concerned but also gently amused. With a slightly helpless laugh: ]

Come on — a kiss isn't worth crying over, no matter how good it is.

[ reaching out to pat him on the back... ]

[aspirings]

[Thanks, bro..... anyway he recovers from those tears very quickly. Not like, suspiciously fast--they weren't crocodile tears--but fast in the way that one might suspect this happens... a lot.......]

It was just very kind of you to make sure I was included, even though it was at no gain for yourself!

[haircared]

[ Josuke waves a hand carelessly. ]

Don't even mention it. Some people might think I only care about winning when it comes to games, [ GLANCE AT THE CAMERA ] but I've got a heart, too. You should play with us more often, Tsukasa.

[aspirings]

Ah, well...

[He can only ruin so much footage, he thinks... but what's the harm in sometimes?]

I'll join in when I can! It's been a wonderful opportunity being able to get to know everyone here more.
