[ week one: overflow ]

MINGLE LOG

The way you arrive might vary from person to person. Perhaps, you wake up on the beach, with your pet cat licking your face. Or you wake up tucked away in your bed, an item of yours nearby and a card on the bedside table reading your name and Welcome to the manor!

Either way, you end up in a modern mansion on a empty, lonely beach, with no explanation of why you're there or what's going on. In the driveway, there is a car with keys in the ignition but, unfortunately, no gas in the tank. In the living room, there is a touch screen television featuring a variety of profiles featuring you and the many other lost souls trapped in this mansion alongside with you.

There is also a camera crew. A camera crew? Really? But following the characters along are blank faced mannequins in a variety of colors, dressed in all black, operating cameras to film them. If you try and talk to the crew, they say nothing (as they have no mouth or eyes or... anything) and just continue to film them. Trying to touch them results in the mannequin falling over and going immobile, only to be replaced by a new one that appears from... somewhere? Weird.

The kitchen is fully stocked. There are spare clothes in the closets. There's even a few video game systems with games in the living room as well. There are books to read in the library. There's writing and drawing materials in the office. There's things to do. Just... why? To what end? What's going on here?

For those intrepid folks who decide to walk as far as they can away from the manor and the beach will find themselves blinking at one point and suddenly being back in the front yard of the manor. Huh. Strange.

Answers don't seem to be coming anytime soon. You might as well just... settle in?

Ah, still jumpy...

[ also comes over, but he's bringing a blanket! ]

There there, we're having a fun chat! Come sit with us? No knives involved.

[dresscode]

[ The MOST pathetic sniffling as he gratefully accepts the blanket. Yves is so nice... ]

A fun chat? I want a fun chat... what are we chatting about?

[noirges]

Only the most fun things of course! Love! Romance!

Whether it's real or just a dream...

[ a little wistful sigh ]

[dresscode]

Oh!

[ Haruaki brightens up instantly, despite the words that tumble out of his mouth next. ]

I don't have any experience with that! Until recently, I went my entire life without even making a single friend, so love is out of the question for me!

[noirges]

[ whoa mood! but yves will bump his shoulder against haruaki's affectionately anyway ]

But isn't making friends a sign that your life is on the up and up? Anything can change in just a moment!

[dresscode]

Maybe if I get a total personality transplant! Until then, there's no way anyone could ever fall for me!

[ He's still not bothered by it. It's just a fact! He will always be on the outside looking in of two worlds and that's okay. ♥ ]

[noirges]

[ ? ]

What makes you so sure...?

Maybe we just met... but at least so far, I don't think there's anything about you that I'd find hard to love.

[dresscode]

[ Okay, now his cheer does kind of flag a little. ]

That's because you haven't seen how disgusting I become when sailor uniforms are involved, Yves-san. It's a mood killer, seriously...

[noirges]

[ ? ]

Sailor uniforms... like an outfit style? Do you really like them?

[ he's clearly just catching up ]

[dresscode]

[ PERKING RIGHT BACK UP ]

I do! I love them more than anything! I want to create a world where everyone can happily wear sailor uniforms, no matter their age or gender!

[noirges]

[ this is so funny.... yves is just amused, tilting his head ]

I don't see how that's such a bad thing?

[dresscode]

[ You will. ]

Aww, that's so nice of you, Yves-san~

[ His cowlick is curling into a heart! ]

But still, that's why I don't have any love stories for you. Unless you want someone else's love story! Then I have a good one~

[noirges]

[ THIS IS SCARY

but yves does not think to be scared... instead he just rests his chin in his hands? oh? ]

I'm not against a good story told in friendship. ♥ Maybe it'll be inspiration for everyone else here, too.

[dresscode]

[ Yay! He's never really gotten to tell this story, and it brings him so much joy to finally be able to! ]

When my best friend and I were transported one hundred-ish years into the past, we realized we were there so that he could meet his future wife! It wasn't love at first sight for her or anything, it took a lot for us to make sure that the future could happen the way it was supposed to... and in the end, when we went back to the present, she was the only one who had to live out all that time waiting for the love of her life to meet her for the first time again. She totally trusted that fate would bring them back together, and it did! Isn't that the most beautiful thing you've ever heard!?

[ HE'S GONNA CRY ]

[noirges]

[ :)? transported into the past?

but also

yves, like an idiot, is completely distracted by this tale of love and devotion... now it's his turn to get teary-eyed... ]

She waited so long... and believed that they'd meet again. There aren't even words for her loyalty! I'm so glad they found each other again and again...

[ aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaAAAAAAAAAA he's eating this UP ]

[dresscode]

[ ??? yeah that happens sometimes dwbi ]

I know, right~? Stuff like that makes me believe in true love, even if I never experience it myself.
