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.

No, that was never the goal. They were just trying to find and protect a bunch of dragon eggs. But they caused a lot of collateral damage that sure made it look like they were trying to destroy everything.
abracatdabra: (i don't know)

[personal profile] abracatdabra 2026-02-25 06:40 am (UTC)(link)
Dragon eggs... So they were just protectin' their young, then? How did all of you wind up in the same space?
frostythehitman: (like you thought)

[personal profile] frostythehitman 2026-02-25 06:52 am (UTC)(link)
At the time, I was on a team that handled emergencies like "dragons are suddenly attacking." It was kind of my job to wind up wherever this stuff was happening.
abracatdabra: (because a cat's the only cat)

[personal profile] abracatdabra 2026-02-25 06:57 am (UTC)(link)
Sort of an emergency affairs squad then?
frostythehitman: (unclear if mocking or genuinely grinning)

[personal profile] frostythehitman 2026-02-25 07:21 am (UTC)(link)
Yup, exactly. There's lots of them where I'm from but they all handle slightly different emergencies. I don't work on much of the "dragons in pants turning me into frogs" stuff anymore.
abracatdabra: ('cause i'm stupid as hell)

[personal profile] abracatdabra 2026-02-25 07:28 am (UTC)(link)
Why were the dragons wearin' pants?

[ looks at ff7 monsters. cait you cannot judge ]
frostythehitman: (why do i have to listen to you)

[personal profile] frostythehitman 2026-02-25 06:44 pm (UTC)(link)
No, it was just the one dragon. The leader.
abracatdabra: (this food sucks but i don't even know)

[personal profile] abracatdabra 2026-02-25 07:07 pm (UTC)(link)
Pardon me. Why was only the leader wearin' pants?!

[ THAT'S WEIRDER ]
frostythehitman: (but no one laughs when they get there)

[personal profile] frostythehitman 2026-02-25 07:20 pm (UTC)(link)
[ it is. ]

No clue. I had absolutely no idea what was going on that whole day.

[ including why, as a frog, he had a teeny metal prosthetic frog arm! ]
abracatdabra: (who wants to dig a long haired gig)

[personal profile] abracatdabra 2026-02-26 12:58 am (UTC)(link)
[ that's a great question they dont do that to barret they only keep his sunglasses ]

I probably would've been in the same boat in that scenario.
