week four | mingle

[showhost]

Welcome to your fourth and final week, teens!

There aren’t many changes around the house today: it seems everyone is dialed in on what needs to be done and the upcoming week. Everything that was on the fritz last week is now back to normal, aside from the Dress Up Your Blorbo curse. You can still do that at will.

Anyway, it's fine that all seems quiet.

There’s plenty going on anyway this week.

Dates | Embrace Space | Property Damage, etc | CR Event | A Thing
Truth Booth Voting | Match Ceremony Submissions

[ she has made s'mores. Of course she has. She's doing her best, sitting on the couch with legs drawn up to her chin, gnawing on her combo like a gerbil. ]

It feels weird to think this is the last one.

[willandaway]

[tilting his head towards her, a small smile appearing on his features]

We're so close to the end now. I have to admit. . . I'm going to miss this place when we leave.

[singurarity]

Yeah, me too. It was still a breather.

[willandaway]

[a breather. . . and he is suddenly reminded of everything she is going to return to when she leaves]

[. . .]

[leaning over to bump his shoulder against hers, gently affectionate]

[singurarity]

[ Leans back, just as affectionate. ]

Don't worry about me, okay?

[willandaway]

[it's a little late for that, but he does manage a smile, remembering what she said about wanting to be normal]

Of course not. [it's an easy lie, and one he can tell because he knows she is aware of the truth. though. . . the next half is said completely sincerely] I have faith in you.

And faith that this won't be the last we see of you.

[haircared]

Right? And then tomorrow, it's the big guess...

[ He is sitting next to Ritsuka, feet on the coffee table like a hooligan. ]

It's out of our hands, at least.

[singurarity]

The big guess...

[ Ominous. ]

But yeah, you're right. How are you feeling about it?

[haircared]

I feel good. I feel like once we know the answer to this... we'll have a pretty good guess!

[ He's optimistic. You've gotta believe you can win to change the chances of a game, sometimes! ]

If it's not them, it has to be Mark and Kat, which causes a whole domino effect. We'll learn something either way.

[singurarity]

Right! We're super close to figuring this out!

[ She's the same, let's just believe they're doing their best. ]

[rosethorns]

Hard to believe it's almost that time already.

[How did four weeks fly by like this...]

[haircared]

I know, right? And the two of us actually can't do anything...

[ They've just gotta sit at the ceremony and hope everything doesn't burn down. ]

I kinda wish we had more time, but I know everyone has stuff to get back to.

[rosethorns]

[Nodding. The two of them get to just sit back, watch, and hope it doesn't turn into a clown show.]

The break has been nice, but you're right. It can't last forever. Hopefully we can all still keep in touch afterward.

[gravkitty]

Hey! It's a little more than a guess, right? You didn't just make up all of your math...right?!

[haircared]

Nope, it's way more than a guess!

[ ENTHUSIASTICALLY, ONCE THE RESULTS ARE OUT ]

And I just cooked up a great idea for tomorrow, since we know what to do.

[ josuke has cooked this idea, but me, jams, has not yet ]

[gravkitty]

Oh, really? What is it?

[She'll be waiting and listening and leaning in a bit conspiratorially for him to share it... but I personally won't put Jams on the spot like that.]

[hgeegh]

[She's so cute.]

It's been four weeks . . . We've all come a long way since that first day.

[singurarity]

... Have you had a good time, Sanji?

[ Important questions. ]

[hgeegh]

Yeah, I have. Have you?

[More important question.]

[singurarity]

Yeah. [ Immediately. ]

[hgeegh]

. . . That's good. [There's quiet relief in his tone.] Whatever happens, let's make the most of today and tomorrow, Ritsuka.

[counton]

[ Here he is in his understated suit this time to go sit on the non-Josuke side of Ritsuka quietly, humming in agreement.

He also did decide to make a s'mores in the end that he's holding on a plate. It's not for him though. He's giving it to Ritsuka when she's done with hers. ]

[singurarity]

[ She'll happily accept it. ]

We're almost done.

[counton]

[ One step closer to seeing of his wish really does work, but also one step closer to... ]

We'll make sure to spend the next couple of days well.

[singurarity]

Yeah. [ A little quieter, for all that her smile hasn't wavered.

They're really parting ways in just a few days. Back to it. She'd accepted it, still does, but... ]

There's still a lot to look forward to.
