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.

[someone who can turn someone's life around, huh. . .]

[. . .]

. . . I still believe. . . my match is Yana-chan. [after everything they have shared together, it's hard for him to think otherwise] But I told you. . . that you weren't alone.

And I meant that, too.

[he was planning on stand by Akechi as much as his fellow competitor would let him. and now that Akechi has decided (. . . maybe?) to stand by him. . . then maybe things won't be as one-sided as he thought]

[flaweddetective]

Well, I hope when things become clearer you pick me too.

[Hhhhh...]

Whatever the case may be... I appreciate the hand that you held out to me. And I won't forget it.

[HHHHHH.]

[willandaway]

[I hate that Will is buying this. oh my god]

[his eyes slip shut, and he nods]

I'm. . . glad. To hear that.

[because it's still extended, as far as he is concerned. there for Akechi to take, whenever he decides to do so]

[flaweddetective]

[We all hate this for Will.]

I'm glad too.

[He holds out his hand to make up the time when he didn't take it. Or something.]

Thank you for everything.

[willandaway]

[and of course, Will reaches out to take it, clasping that hand tightly. SOMETHING SOMETHING NEW BOND SOMETHING. . .!]

And if you really are adept at swordplay, we should spar sometime.

[for!! practice!! he feels like he might get rusty, being here so long without anything on which to sharpen his blade]

[flaweddetective]

[I am thou, thou art I... Thou hast acquired a new vow. With the birth of the JUSTICE Persona, you have obtained the winds of blessing that shall lead to freedom and new power...

Or some shit like that.]

Haha... I am proficient in fencing and a more sort of wild beserking, I guess you might call it. But I am a little rusty and have no way to get my weapons. I lost them along with my powers. But... I would love to.

[willandaway]

[what's justice, he only feels FAKER]

Your powers. . . ? Magic?

[curious!]

I may try asking Tsukasa for some training swords. It may be better to use them than real weapons, anyway.

[flaweddetective]

I don't have the anymore. I lost them after...

[You know. Death didn't help. Also whatever the Thieves did to the metaverse. He never asked and they never told.]

But I can still fight. Being good at swordplay wasn't some magical ability. It was something I honed on my own.

[willandaway]

. . . I'd like to ask about them sometime. Even if you can't use them.

[color him curious! but for now, he nods, visibly pleased to have made SPARRING PLANS with someone]

But we can save that for later. For now. . . I'm looking forward to seeing what you're capable of.

[flaweddetective]

Sure... I'd be glad to tell you about them.

[Loki and Robin Hood. Being here is the first time he's been without. Something he hasn't processed really. And maybe that empty hole where they used to exist is what's making him so volatile and irritable. Or maybe he's just always like this. Whatever the reason... he would like to talk about them. They were his only companions for an incredibly long time.]

I'd be glad to show you. I think you might be surprised. People often underestimate me.

[willandaway]

[can't wait to compare Personas to Archetypes!!]

I won't.

[he says with a firm nod]

I'll make sure I give it my all.

[and he won't hold back. no mercy!]

[flaweddetective]

Heh. I look forward to it.

[Sparring... Yeah, he will look forward to it, actually.]

[willandaway]

[points at eyes points at Aya SPARRING TOP LEVEL NEXT WEEK]

[flaweddetective]

[Let's gooooo~]
