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.

So this probably means we're thinking about Doro-chan and Sanji for the Truth Booth, right?

[ giving Mark a concerned look though, like. Is he good. ]

[willandaway]

That's what I think.

[since that was his other choice!]

[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.

[willandaway]

Yes, I think so, too.

[pleased!!]

That hint really did steer us in the right direction.

[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.

[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...

[makeine]

Totally on board!

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

[singurarity]

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

[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]

[ haaa.. ]

Well! Happy to have you!

[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]

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.

[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.

[singurarity]

And if that doesn't work, Lessing and I can surprise sweep it.

[ Only optimistic thoughts here.

But she still moves over there to pat his back, like before. He and Josuke both seem a little subdued. ]

[titlecard]

[ ... She and Lessing can surprise sweep it! It's a good thing he was already feeling a little muted, he can hide behind that.

A little smile at her patting his back, though. ]

It's alright. Better to know now, right?

[singurarity]

Yeah. I personally think, depending on how you feel, the matches don't have to mean anything in the long run.

But we're also only two weeks in.

[titlecard]

We are only two weeks in.

[ He nods in affirmation. ]

It feels like a lot's changed already. There's probably a lot more ahead, isn't there?

[ Even as they're starting to whittle things down... or getting a lot whittled down, in his case. ]

[singurarity]

Oh, yeah. I think heading into week 3, we're going to have a lot to think about. But this hint and the Truth Booth and the match ceremony are all going to be really helpful.

[ So. Ideally, they'll come out of this triumphant. ]

[titlecard]

Yeah... We can really start to strategize now, can't we?

[ Shoots her a little grin because, wasn't that her thing, ]

[singurarity]

We sure can!

[ Shooting him a much bigger grin. This! This is what she's done for three years! ]

We're gonna rock this!!

[rosethorns]

Well, if that's what everyone's considering, I wouldn't mind giving it a shot.

[singurarity]

I think you seem to be our most likely option, considering everyone's opinions. But it'll help us narrow down Mark's match too, either way.
