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.

Yeah...

[ oh, wait. He's still half-asleep; it takes a second for the resignation in her tone to register. ]

You doing alright?

[warhawks]

[ THANKS, MARK?? ]

I'm fine. [ Things that people who are fine say. ] It's best for everyone if they're a match, right?

[titlecard]

[ Eyes her a little skeptically, but says nothing. Moving right along... ]

Yeah. It'll help narrow things down. [ He'd be down to five possibilities then... one of whom would be Asa, so, he's considering. ] And probably make tomorrow go a bit easier, too...

[warhawks]

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

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

[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. ]

[warhawks]

Me too. That's why I'm fine with whatever the result is.

[ Third "I'm fine" is the charm for making it true. ]

You know what? I actually hope they are a match. This house is way too noisy as it is.

[titlecard]

[ quickly realizing he might be out of his depth here ]

... So who do you think your match is, then? If you want some peace and quiet, finding them would probably be the most surefire way to get that.

[warhawks]

I haven't thought about it.

[ Just to prove her point: ]

I don't like guys who come on too strong, so it's not Josuke. [ Hello????? ] Akechi doesn't even like girls. Will's already with Anna. Steve... ew. Minami... double ew. Lessing's fine, but he made me look like a weirdo the first time we talked. And Sanji's probably about to match with Dorothea, so...

[ ... This literally only leaves Mark out of the boys. ]

[titlecard]

[ Josuke?? Hello???

But that aside Mark is following along, doing the mental math in his head. (He— did not know that about Akechi.) Another couple of seconds to add it up, and... he's reached the same conclusion. ]

Oh. [ A beat, a little reddening of his cheeks. ] Um, I guess the two of us could be a possibility... since we know my match is a girl...
