Good morning, sweet fruits! The sun is shining, the birds are singing... it's a wonderful day to get up and start the season properly. When you wake up, you're very quickly herded off the boat by a string of harried bunnies who are shouting about schedules and timing. You'll find the Fruit Hosts (Lemon, Lime, and L'orange) have come down to the beach to greet you, and lead you to your brand new home! Why don't you check it out? While you know that there's a lot in store this week (such as an event on Wednesday and a mysterious all-day broadcasting scheduled for Saturday), until then? You're free to live your life. Explore your new locations, get to know your team (including your team leaders!) and get used to the feeling of being watched at all times. The only place you're safe from cameras are in your team bedrooms and in the bathrooms. Remember that. Or perhaps you do want to be in front of the cameras? Well, have no fear. The Confessional has arrived. Located in the mansion, this little slice of reality tv is there for all contestants to really get juicy. Check out the page for how it all works. Hmm... but after the initial excitement of moving into your lounge and new home fades, you'll find that you feel sort of itchy and scratchy. There's someone on your mind, right? Someone special. And it's not necessarily romantic (though it could be if you're brave enough), but you are drawn to this person intrinsically - you want to hang out with them basically forever. Almost as if a red string connects your fates.

A NEW CHALLENGE APPROACHES

Whoa, remember that thing we said about twists? Well, here's one for you. It's red string week! This effect means that your character and another are intrinsically linked. You want to be next to them at all times. You want to talk to them. Hold their hand. Cuddle and hug and spend soooo much time with them. Well, in a purely platonic way of course. This doesn't mean that you have to be around each other 24/7, but the more time you spend away from each other — the stronger urge to see them again. How sweet? And how very awkward if you happen to be matched up to someone who's not on your team. Whoopsies.

You can turn down my volume if you want to~!

[ c'mon... push his buttons. ]

[katzepaw]

[what......... does this mean........................................]

In public?

[smashcut]

C'mon, it's nothing DIRTY!!

[ the buttons are right there on his head casing somewhere... they are so pushable... ]

[katzepaw]

[this is a complex and socially fraught situation as he longs to push the buttons but also is unsure if he believes him.......

hands him a 2.]

Challenge someone to an arm wrestling match.

[smashcut]

[ looks at this card. ]

Do you have a pen on you? Looks I'm going to need to have someone sign a waiver.

[cleaved]

[ APPEARS ]

Hey, big guy! I wanna borrow you for something.

[smashcut]

Ooh, what is it?!

[cleaved]

[ rawiyah does not give him any warning, and the dice maiden was so kind to me in giving me a 19.

she comes up to him, wraps her arms around his middle, and lifts. ]

[smashcut]

[ gets lifted i guess?!!!! ]

WHOA MAMA WHAT THE

[cleaved]

Oof - ha! Sorry, Ant, gotta carry you a bit. Watch your head.

[smashcut]

COULDN'T YOU HAVE DONE THIS OUTDOORS?!

[becomingpotatoes]

[Look, you have been given a (!]

You should make good use of cue cards. Use them to communicate to your heart's content, as if you were giving instructions to a live audience.

[Heck, since he feels Tenna might find that fun, he's not putting a hard limit of time, he's just putting the idea out there]

[smashcut]

[ HE GOT THE LEGENDARY OPENING PARENTHESIS CARD THAT ONLY SHOWS UP ONCE IN EVERY 666 DECKS??? ]

You mean use those instead of talking, or I just hand out directions?

[becomingpotatoes]

[Whooops. There I was pointing out your mistakes and then I proceed to make a mistake in front of you, haha]

The latter! Spice up your socializing tonight.

[As if he already had it prepared, he takes out his notebook and opens it to a page where he wrote in huge capital letters: EXPRESS BOUNDLESS JOY NOW. An example of sorts]

[smashcut]

[ oh good, he's so bad at shutting up and so much better at bossing people around ]

Alright then!! [ ... ] Do YOU have a pen I can borrow?

[becomingpotatoes]

I have several. You're in luck.

[Here you go!]

[smashcut]

Fantastic!!!

[ eagerly takes the pen!!! aaand he's going to go write up an arm wrestling waiver before anything else. ]

[imperioso]

[hi.]

... You seem to be making the most of signing up for this show, and that kind of dedication and enthusiasm isn't a bad thing.

[smashcut]

Oh!!

[ his antennas perk up and he gives a BIG smile. god he loves being appreciated!!!!! ]

Thank you, haha! Honestly, it's wonderful just to be in such a LIVELY environment!

[imperioso]

[tenna is so pleased about this that he's starting to feel a little bad that this was because of a card even if he did try to make it sincere...]

... Not lively back home?

[smashcut]

Well, it's... you know, people just don't watch quite as much TV as they used to!

[imperioso]

... That's true. Hard for you, then.

[culet]

Your unmatched enthusiasm has already made this a better experience for the rest of us.
