Week 0 Mingle;
❤ Week 0 Mingle
Welcome to your new home, contestants! You step off the boat you somehow don't remember being on (or the plane, or the transdimensional time warp you skipped through) and find yourself on a beautiful, lush island! All you have is what you managed to cram into one suitcase (or three), so snacks, clothes, sex toys, photo albums of your family or coworkers, your phone that will not be working all that well, and etc. No living things, why would you put them through the embarrassment of witnessing your romantic escapades? Please.
You're led to a house and told this is where you will be living until you get your act together and find your destined partner. How nice! It appears to be set up already to be lived in, and the kitchen has a mini bar with alcohol already provided, as well as a little notebook of instructions as to how to mix drinks and how to play those wildly popular Drinking Games. Maybe give it a try later?
Once you're all unpacked and starting to mingle, you'll find a young lady in the traditional Ojousama Ringlets standing out in the yard. She'll wait until everyone is present before she smiles and speaks.
"Good day, contestants. I am the Overseer, the individual who will be, well... overseeing your romantic escapades during your stay. I believe you know the rules already, so I'll be brief: you are all here because you have encountered difficulties maintaining a romance. You have all been paired up with each other, thanks to a complicated matchmaking algorithm. Your goal is to find your Perfect Match. Should all ten Perfect Matches be found and confirmed, all of you will have your wishes granted. So really..."
She places a hand delicately to her chin. "It would behoove you to speak with each other, test out your chemistry, and see where that leads you as quickly as possible. I shall be scarce today, save for an occasional encounter, but I will be speaking with you tomorrow to give you a better idea of what your next few weeks will be looking like. By all means, do enjoy yourselves."
She curtseys. And then leaves, but don't worry. She may just pop into your toplevel to ask you some questions. Or she may not! Who knows!

[but Miko lowers her hands to prop one against her hip, turning her attention fully from the empty space the Overseer once occupied to her new companion, gaze washing over her from head to toe]
Quite an astute observation. I find that the best things in life tend to arrive when one isn't actively seeking them out. Focus your attentions on having a good time, and there is no way you'll be disappointed with your trip.
no subject
Right... got it. Well, I'll try my best.
... So, um. Is it rude to ask about...
[She makes little ears atop her own head with her fingers.]
no subject
Absolutely. To ask is the greatest insult my kind can experience. Dare you tread that fraught and dangerous road?
no subject
In that case, no, I don't really need to know and I'm already sorry...!
no subject
Don't worry; I'm merely joking. Have you truly never seen a kitsune before?
no subject
she's too relieved to feel fussed about the teasing.]
Not... in real life. [She definitely thought!! They were fictional!! But that feels extra rude to say.]
They're lovely, though. Your ears, I mean.
no subject
[but that smile remains as Miko's hand falls away, and there's something a little more genuine about her features now]
Why, thank you. Only a human's perspective would see them that way.
[for a kitsune, they're rather ordinary, tbqh]
no subject
I guess I can't really help that. I'm just a human, after all.
no subject
Oh, don't talk about it like it's a bad thing. After all, we youkai assume the form of humans for a reason.
It isn't what you are that matters, but rather what you do.
no subject
Her face is SO red as her chin is tilted up.
She opens her mouth.
Only a squeak comes out.]
no subject
Oh my.
Did I break her?
no subject
Aoko just... kind of turns away and buries her face in her hands.
HOT... FOX LADY... WHEEZE.]
I--I'm sorry, I wasn't...ready...!
no subject
[heehee]
no subject
... It's... nice to meet you. I'm Aoko. Did I say that already? I hope not.
no subject
[still teasing!!]
For the duration of our stay here, you may call me Miko. I think I prefer a refreshing breath of familiarity.
