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.

[cleaved]

Probably both. They could've just thrown a dart at some of 'em and gone with whatever landed I guess.

[staghunt]

Probably - can't say much about mine. That'd be cheating.

Probably wanted to spice this round up a little more. Everybody loves a twist.

[cleaved]

I'll just say that mine's not weird and leave it at that.

That wouldn't surprise me. And somebody did point out that there's 32, so we gotta find the 2 fakes.

[staghunt]

Question is, do you lean into the most detailed ones are false or the ones that could be anything are false.

I don't even understand the last one on 24.

[becomingpotatoes]

Think of it like this:

They send letters to hundreds of thousands of random people, with all kinds of traps and lies to obtain money from them. They survive with the illicit gains from the few who fall in the schemes the letters lead them into, because they cannot get a job anywhere.

It's that, but through technology.

[staghunt]

You know.


That was shockingly helpful. And that just sounds really... fake and time consuming.

[becomingpotatoes]

It certainly is an ignoble way of earning a living.

[Them's fighting words if whoever does this is listening, Rui]

[cleaved]

Are you guys from worlds like yours ok, Rui?
Who does that.

[becomingpotatoes]

Who does that? Well, if that one is not a lie crafted to blend with the rest, you might have spoken to the person who does that.

Of course, it's not me. Unlike them, I can be employed with ease.

[smashcut]

"Scam email" mor like SPAM ENAIL

[becomingpotatoes]

Yes, that's correct. Well done!

[Rui is a little surprised Tenna understands the concept of a spam email!

oh if only you knew why rui]

[smashcut]

what

[becomingpotatoes]

Hm? You got it correctly. It's spam emails. Whoever that person is survives by using them.

[smashcut]

Thats what they're called?

[becomingpotatoes]

Yes, that's the term.

[smashcut]

So
what, you're telling me it was "spam email man" the whole time?

[ his little spammy mailman. he just... misheard it? if this is what he was— then he really was just scamming him all along? none of it was ever real, he was just trying to screw him over from the beginning?

did everyone always know except him? was he that stupid?

hahaha.

okay. he's checking out of this event. ]
