❤ 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!!!

[aldaft]

[Aoko and Cyrus return with the latter's hand on the former's back. They enter the house together in good spirits, where Cyrus' gaze lands on the section of the common area to which the screen belongs.]

Has everyone seen the result?

[He only asks, because he wasn't here when it happened and is curious if the display was the same.]

[omnivoracious]

MY HEARTFELT CONGRATULATIONS TO THE PAIR OF YOU!!!!!!

[ AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH ]

[unrecompensed]

[YELPS IN ACTUAL FEAR]

[aldaft]

[While Aoko is swept up into a bear hug following her yelp, Cyrus turns to the Overseer.]

Ah, thank you. I must say, the music came as a surprise.

[firesinthesky]

[ Aoko better be ready to get swept up in a massive Roegadyn-style bear hug. One second she's next to Cyrus, the next she's up in Blaze's arms. ]

Congratulations! I'm so happy for you!

[unrecompensed]

[SHE WASN'T READY but that doesn't mean she's not going to enjoy it.

There might be a small sniffle.

Everyone's so nice to her and her kokoro can't handle it.]

Um, we didn't do much, but thank you...!

[swinish]

[ Guess who is surprisingly.. Invested?? In the implications of getting a perfect match?! Mainly because this was also the couple he voted for??? When they return, Trevor is nursing a very normal amount of alcohol, looking quite happy as he stands behind the kitchen counter. And then, he hollers - ]

Kiss her, you fool!

[aldaft]

Hm?

[It gladdens Cyrus to see Trevor slightly less drunk than usual, truly.]

Is a kiss customary for this occasion? If so . . .

[Aoko is a bit crowded right now. As soon as he sees an opening, he approaches.]

Aoko, my dear.

[booned]

Congratulations, to the both of you. I'm glad you both were able to find that perfect match so fast.

[ His voice is sincere with his statement. ]

[aldaft]

Many thanks, friend. I hope that you're able to find yours soon as well.

[He pauses.]

Was the music so . . . ebullient when you entered the week prior?

[unrecompensed]

[She presses her hands to her burning cheeks, but--with a smile.]

Thank you... I'm glad that things seem to be going okay for the game so far too.

But selfishly... I'm glad for other reasons too...

[starswink]

Ehe. I support these results! Good for you!

[He is saying it to both of them, though. It's really nice, if maybe kind of bittersweet, someone he considers his buddy got to be the first perfect match! He's going to take this as a good sign.]

[aldaft]

I appreciate your well-wish, friend. Of course, I wish you the same in return.

[unrecompensed]

O-Oh, well, thank you...!

[She looks bashful but pleased, fiddling with her hair.]

Now--it's your turn next, okay?

[corporative]

Well, congratulations are in order for the both of you. What a shame it takes you out of the running for everyone else.

[He grins.]

So, are you over the moon yet, or has the news yet to sink in?

[unrecompensed]

Ah... um, thank you!

[She's assuming the second bit of that statement is meant for Cyrus. He was popular, after all.

As for the rest:]

I think... I'm still processing. It was so sudden, you know...?

[She'll freak out in a few hours.]

[aldaft]

[Cyrus does not perceive, though he does smile.]

I am, yes. Aoko is a most patient teacher . . . and I am looking forward to learning with her, as opposed to simply from.

[saucerous]

[She cannot tackle Aoko at the moment because said douki-chan is about five feet off the ground, so she sets her initial congratulations on Cyrus.

Marcille holds her hands behind her back, clasping them together.]

Well done, you two. Amazingly well done! We're really getting ahead of the game. Everyone had something to celebrate.

[aldaft]

Ah, Marcille.

[He shakes his head.]

The result is owed to everyone's votes. Now the odds have improved on everyone's end. This is good news, indeed!

[unrecompensed]

[Once she's been released, Aoko comes right back over to Marcille.]

Ah--thank you...! I truly, um... well.

[WELL.]

I think everyone else did much better than we did in making this happen, but I'm grateful.

[reappraise]

[ Now would be a good time for them to launch themself at the two of them, but that would probably result in mortal injuries, so they contain themself (for now.) Instead, they will be giving them each a very tight, very enthusiastic smothering whenever they get a chance to among all the commotion. ]

Make sure to let me watch you cuddle sometime, okay? I wanna see...

[ are they joking? the world will never know..... ]

[aldaft]

[That is tight. Cyrus nearly forgets what it's like to breathe until Diamond releases him. He takes a moment to inhale softly, adjusting his cravat the while, before he straightens.

Cuddle?]

Is that something you enjoy watching, Dia?

[unrecompensed]

[.... ???!?!??!?!

SIMPLE DOG NOISES. ]

Th-that would be a little t-too much...!

[dankgod]

Guess you're a pretty lucky guy, huh...?

[souperb]

[ well, that was. mmmm, cute?

but what milla actually says is not what she feels. what she says is: ]

I guess you get to watch from the sidelines as we go around embarrassing ourselves now? Lucky for you two.

[ this is milla speak for "i'm happy for you both" ]
