REMAINING
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.

[ There's a confused smile. ]

Sure? Seems easy enough.

[ He'll just wait for a little dude to come at him before he brings a hand down to put a hand on its head, swiftly picking it up to hang upside down and let it try to punch him. Hehe. ]

I see... [Watching this, Rui smiles, embarrassed] You all make handling them seem so easy. Perhaps I overestimated the difficulty.

[Rui has been so unfortunate with those gestrals and wanted to spread the misfortune, pretty much]

[ Don't be fooled, there are definitely a few kickies being landed and Junpei's mostly ignoring them. ]

You just kinda let them work it out of their system. Show 'em who's boss... they're not really so tough anyway.

Not so tough...? Perhaps I have disregarded my physical endurance more than I thought--

[Whooops. By authorial fiat, a random character comes by and passes Rui a jack card. He sighs]

...one of them defeated me so soundly I ended up on the floor. Then it stood on top of me, like a wrestler making sure I wouldn't get up.

[The sort of thing that happens when I roll a natural 1 during a thread, yeah. Clearly, Rui is not the boss and likely won't be, despite having some strength]

[ Well okay then. ]

You could always ask Rawiyah for some tips. I'm sure she'd be happy to train you, that's sort of her thing.

As long as her method of teaching isn't by fighting her, it's a good suggestion, Junpei.

[I better not roll natural 1s during such trainings or else there'll be a murder out of schedule]

You may want to ask her about that yourself. I can't promise that won't be the route she goes. Isn't experience the best teacher?

I will. If I perish bury me near a nice garden.

[Ah, the sort of nonchalant comments one can make when nobody has died yet in a murdergame]

We may be lacking a garden, but I'm sure we can find a nice patch of sand with your name on it.
