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.

I'm afraid not. The scavenger hunts are set up to encourage bonding amongst all of the contestants.

[And he is not that, so he can't help! He does look apologetic, but settles amongst the circle for a moment anyway, if only to Be Part of Things.]

Hmm... I'm not sure. I'll just be distracting the others, and I know that hint is important.

[inparfait]

If you wanna, you should! And if the result is bad I'll break the bottle ☆~. [ he settles in next to him, getting cozy as he's want to do. ]

[aspirings]

Ah. Please don't. The others will need that.

[YOU INCLUDED, MISTER.

He does allow this cozying up though. He has gotten so used to Minami's touchy-feely-ness.]

Everyone is working hard to complete their scavenger hunts, after all.

[inparfait]

Mmn, I'll turn mine in later.

[ minami's now too distracted by the Cozy Vibes to care about the bottle. ]

[aspirings]

[Tsukasa seems satisfied with the implicit promise that Minami will try to do his, so.

Time to just watch spin the bottle happen, I suppose!

Tsukasa may or may not spin i have not decided yet but it's fine.

He truly doesn't stay long, given that he has work to do, and he's called away soon enough for said work, but!! EVERYONE IS CUTE, MAKING SURE HE'S INVOLVED....]

[inparfait]

[ cal this is the second thread they've both been somehow assuaged into silence in each other's presence. minami is vaguely watching the bottle, just to see if anything juicy is happening but mainly he's content to sit here together.

eventually though: ]

I want to do this again without the noise. [ some part of his incubi brain is clamoring to sleep with this cozy aesthetic. ]

[aspirings]

[and everyone was deeply relieved by that, honestly.

But Tsukasa seems pretty content to watch everyone having a good time, so he's just chilling and vibing until Minami speaks.

(also my god, the irony of someone wanting to hang out with Tsukasa for peace and quiet...........)]

Hm? Well, I suppose there is always that interview room. I can't see why it couldn't be used for a quieter spot.

[Hmmmmm...]

Production probably wouldn't mind, so long as it doesn't interfere with any scheduled filming.

[inparfait]

Then it's a date! [ and since he really isn't clocking the bottle or anything that's happened because it's landed on tsukasa so far, he'll behave!


this will not hold true later


but for now he contents himself with a nuzzle into tsukasa's shoulder. ]

later

[inparfait]

[ it is now later! tsukasa's sure lucky? unlucky? hmm. some of those were fun to watch (the anna one actually made him giggle because that's not how it went at all). and he knows that it couldn't have been a kiss-kiss because of her everything.

but he is not a particularly patient demon and even though that lessing one wasn't anything more than a pocky kiss really, again. he's just a demon.

so when tsukasa comes back from his xth adventure minami chirps up. ]

Mmn, that bottle has it out for you.

[aspirings]

[Yeah it

It sure does, doesn't it.

Even Tsukasa is starting to think that maybe sitting here was a mistake (even though he had fun putting on that little scene with Anna, and hanging out with everyone in general), because, well.

He is probably going to get the stink eye from the crew soon at this rate......

And then Minami speaks up, and he blinks.]

Mm? I suppose so... maybe I'm sitting in a bad spot?

[inparfait]

Mmn, maybe. [ it's dismissive because regardless of anything, he finds this game bleh because the entire point of it is to force people to act on desires they're just too chicken to do it in the first place. lame.

do what you want and don't think about it etc.

so... ]

I shouldn't destroy the bottle, right?

[aspirings]

[Immediately:]

Please don't.

[minami pls]

[inparfait]

'Kay. I don't need it anyway. [ aww, look at that face. you'd think that would discourage minami from what he's about to do but all flavors of tsukasa are appealing to him.

so he leans over, tilts tsukasa's head towards him and kisses him, on the lips obviously. it is not a chaste kiss in the least, but he also doesn't try to hold it long. he just needed to satisfy his urges and there's no destruction this way.

progress? ]

[willandaway]

[oh. . .]

[oh!!]

[oh!!!!!!!]

[BEAMING A LI'L]

[aspirings]

[oh my GOD why were the choices kissing or destroying the bottle--!!

Okay, no, Tsukasa's pretty sure he knows the answer to that. Really, he's more embarrassed by himself for not seeing this coming in one way or another. Minami is a demon, after all.

Anyway point is, he is immediately standing up, clearing his throat, and.]

Ah. I have to. There's--crew.

[Fleeing.]

[inparfait]

Hehe, see you later!

[ waves cheerfully as he runs away. ]

[willandaway]

[oh. . . bye Tsukasa. . .]

[makeine]

[ ... huh. ]
