❤ 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!!!

A perfect match, so soon...!

[ How wonderful, and how fun, they're positively swooning. They're so caught up in everything they don't even recognize Marcille's current predicament, cupping their own face with a hand. ]

We're going to get to see their love unfold... right in front of our eyes!

[saucerous]

[It's okay, she put herself in this position.

For the first time since her eyes ended up fixed on the screen, Marcille looks over at Diamond when they swoon. Seeing them so happy is enough to make her smile, calmed by the infectious dream energy, even if their words bring her very quickly back to the here and now.]

Wow... Yeah, you're right. They have three weeks to get to know each other as a match! Amazing.

I hadn't considered it that way.

[reappraise]

I think it's going to be the very best part of all this!

[ Watching the couples get together, that is. That's one of the biggest reasons they came here, anyway... to see new love stories unfold in front of them. Only at this point do they actually recognize that they've been yanking Marcille this way and that, and they let go, clasping their hands together instead. ]

That's why I want to work quickly to find out the others. I'd like it if we got to see a few more confirmed matches have a romantic development in our time here... there's three more chances.

[saucerous]

Three more chances... [ Marcille repeats. With twenty participants and dozens of possible matches, the chance to learn more about three of them should be just a drop in the bucket. But their five matching lights last week make the odds much better: Four of the remaining pairs have to be correct now that they have confirmation on one.] Don't forget the third will be at the end of our last week. Whatever their feelings are, they'll have to be quick about them. A powerful, heat of the moment romance...

[With a bit more gravitas, she turns to face them. They might not be holding hands anymore (and she's extracted herself from Blaze too), but she gives them an encouraging smile.] Diamond, don't forget to look for your own happiness, too, right?]

[reappraise]

Don't worry. I'm striving for my own wish, in my own way...

[ They purposefully leave what they truly mean by "wish" ambiguous - their wish for romance, or the wish they're all fighting so hard to win. Their smile in return is serene, warm even, as they hold their hands against their chest. ]

Helping everyone else along will only help me realize it even faster. [ a beat. ] I want to help you get a happy ending, too.
