Week 1 Mingle;
❤ Week 1 Mingle
Welcome to a new week, lovebirds! Monday dawns gray and misty, and it's actually not long before a thunderstorm rolls in! You can, of course, kiss dramatically in the yard in the rain and risk getting struck by lightning-- or you can stay inside, cuddle in the conversation pit, USE THE GODDAMN BOOM BOOM ROOM or do anything else until the storm blows over by the evening! Don't worry, the rest of the week will be bright and sunny and beautiful!
There's also a new section of the house, weirdly enough! There's a bright turquoise door located near the bedroom and opening it leads to... a massive indoor pool. The water is a pleasant temperature, there's a hot tub, there's an assortment of flotation devices for those of you who might have trouble swimming (tubes, life vests, boogie boards, pool noodles that can also be used to wage Deadly Combat if you are Sara and Kasque or Jeritza or anyone else ready for Violence). And if you somehow didn't pack a swimsuit because why on earth would your canon let you have one--
Worry not!! There's a rack of swimsuits in every size you lot could need! The catch (or not): they're all sexy. Like. Barely there sexy. Impossibly adhering to you sexy. Shoelaces would maybe cover more sexy. Absolutely great to play Chicken Fight in sexy. You get the idea.
Anything having to do with being able to write is still also Not Present.
Enjoy!!!

[ On either front. Someone has to ask the hard questions, and she's certainly given Blaze something to think about - but yes, those thoughts or for another time. It's nice to share a laugh with someone, to gossip and chat and tease like it's the easiest thing in the world. ]
I've never claimed to be an expert on either.
[ Her hand moves under the blanket to prod Marcille in the ribs with a finger. ] Go on, then. Teach me a lesson.
no subject
Hey, hey! I'll tell you what you want!
[She takes a moment to collect her thoughts, then settles on the convention that controls so much of their time here.] Well, I think I know why we're in this setup to begin with.
It's called "forced proximity." When people are stuck in a closed space without outside contact. Like... The castle is walled in by a great blizzard, and you have to share blankets around the fireplace and wait for the storm to subside. Or a vacation on a house on an island that's only accessible by strange means, when all the beds are together. Everyone learns more about each other and gets closer together to survive.
The Overseer is waiting for us to realize that. But... I think the reason some of us are finding it hard to open up yet is that, well, what's missing. Trust. If we want to get closer, we need to show one another who we can depend on.
That someone is worth going into the snow for.

[ By forcing the characters together physically, they are also forced to open up emotionally. It’s certainly a good method for getting them to be close - in multiple ways - in so short a time.
She just didn’t realize this was the same ploy until Marcille pointed it out. ]
That’s a lovely sentiment, Marcille. Tell me, is there anyone here you’d go out into the snow for yet?
no subject
[She follows that with a playful swat. And after she went through and gave that whole explanation...]
Hm... if we're sticking with the story, then I'd actually it's like - no one's run out of firewood yet? [Nothing's come to push her into anyone in a way that she can see herself sharing herself totally openly with.]
But there are people I'd share a blanket with while we wait for that time. [She lifts the corner of the one they're under and gives it a little shake, indicating she means both in the metaphorical sense of the metaphor and literally.
Then Marcille's voice gets smaller.] When I agreed to this I thought that... maybe if someone had seen me and felt something, they'd put their arms out for me first.
