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 have no idea.

[ Honestly. ]

I don't know what your wish is and I'm not sure if your compatibility also depends on your level of interest in a person's soul.

[inparfait]

I don't really have one! [ which does not help matters at all. ]

If I'm not interested in something or someone, I'll just leave. So I don't think that works!

[ it's beyond a healthy distance or even longer that, he just straight up would forget his match existed after a while and that does not sound like good reality tv. ]

[singurarity]

But you're not really interested in too many people, are you?

I know Tsukasa's... well, not an option, technically.

/2

[inparfait]

He's different!

[ and yes not an option, which he does not care about because the matches have never and will never matter to him, the free spirit he is. but this isn't about that, so she can ignore the way he smiles more genuinely here for a moment. ]

[willandaway]

[. . . HEHEHE]

[makeine]

And persistent people are out the window, Ritsuka-chan. You know, the kind that thinks "oh, I can change you," or whatever.

[ munch. come on minami try the sour lemon. the honey sort of off-sets it. ]

[singurarity]

... So someone who just accepts he's a soul-devouring demon.

[ A pause. ]

That's, like. Kind of not a small number, actually.

[makeine]

No, not just that -- someone who accepts he's the type that'll just flit off whenever he pleases, too. Minami-kun's not someone you can tie down.

[ nor someone you should want to, actually. ]

Like, for example? Me and him couldn't work, because I want someone who I know I can look for and find. Not someone I'd have to look for. You get it? I mean, I'm too "bossy" for him anyway, it kinda leans into that.

[ ...

sounds... like she's got a better idea of minami than she did last week... ]

[singurarity]

... So the date went well, huh?

[makeine]

I can't say we got closer, but I can't blame him for flying off if that's what's waiting for him back in Hell...

[ ugh... she wants that parfait so bad... ]

[inparfait]

We're talking 'bout who's "fair game" within the rules of the show, so—you and Will are still the most likely, I think. [ a beat. ]

Kat, too.

If you want to include people who I wouldn't find boring then you can add Josuke and Mark, but that's really stretching it.

[singurarity]

Well, we know Mark's matched with a girl, so we can rule that one out.

[ Oh, boy. ]

But Kat... well, yeah, I don't think she'd try to change you.

[inparfait]

[ he shrugs and finally pops the candied lemon into his mouth.

and oh god.

even with the honey he just has an out of this world sweet tooth so- ]

YUCKKK, SOUR!!! If I wanted to taste Akechi's soul I'd do that on my own, gross!

[ he's spitting this out, ick. ]

[makeine]

[ huh........... she's taking notes. and throwing him a fucking paper towel you heathen? ]

You're such a kid! Grow up and use a napkin, idiot!

[inparfait]

It tasted bad!!! [ no it tasted sour but he's not about this life.

he'll take the paper towel though to

wipe his own mouth with it. ]

[singurarity]

[ STOP, SANJI WILL KILL YOU???

She can't pick up something that's been spat out. Sorry, Sanji. ]

That bad??

[inparfait]

[ shaking his head. ]

Yeah, really, really, REALLY sour...

[ sorry his tastebuds. ]

[hgeegh]

[As if the day hasn't been bad enough for Dorothea . . .

After the dream he also had the other night, this could well be the final straw. Sanji slowly raises his hand to point at the fallen candied lemon slice, his voice flat.]

Hey. Did you just spit that out?

[makeine]

Don't worry about it, Sanji-kun. I'll handle it. Have a few extra since he can't appreciate them.

[ she's being responsible today. ]

[titlecard]

[ rolling his eyes ]

Yeah, well, we know it's not me.

[inparfait]

And you look appealing but once you bite in it's the same old crap inside.

[ there is no love lost here, he was just trying to help ritsuka a little. ]

[titlecard]

[ ew. ]

Yeah, you're definitely going to find someone being like that.

[haircared]

Me?

[ Actual shock, and it's not even offended... he's going to ignore the "that's really stretching it" comment. ]

[inparfait]

Mmhmm. But you don't like demons, right?

[ or that was the impression he got. ]

[haircared]

Not gonna lie... I get pretty freaked out by things like ghosts.

[ Demons are in a similar family, at least in his imagination. Though Minami doesn't look scary visually, he's sure if he's really a demon, there's got to be some frightening things about him. ]

But not so freaked out I'd toss the game over it.
