imeeji_frontstage | Support Groups!

Who: Anyone
Where: Hotel ☆G floor
When: Day 320, early afternoon

[People who tune in to this Live notification or people passing through the lobby today will notice that all the tables and chairs from the sitting area and kitchen have been arranged into groups or circles for people to sit at, and each table has supplies on it, like dry-erase tent cards or stacks of poster board and markers for making signs. There are also 'Hi My Name Is ___' name tags in case people feel like making introductions easier. Pink is seated on a couch with Izanagi, waving at the camera.]

Hey fellow idols--unwilling and willing!--it's been an unnervingly quiet chunka time, hasn't it? But the Christmas episodes have come 'n gone and probably a new year started at some point or another! So let's do a recap episode, or what I'm gonna call the Annual Support Group Live. Basically, I've got a simple survey question for ya: what support group could ya start? What sorts of people do ya feel empathy for 'cause ya've been through the same shit? Or what other crazy thing is more common than ya might expect? Ta answer: shout it out! or better yet, make a sign!

[Gestures to the stacks of supplies and name tags.]

There's all kinds of things people might be going through, right? This is a great opportunity to find others like you! Like, "I'm from a world without all this newfangled technology and it confuses me!" or "My world doesn't have magic at all, but everyone else has super powers and it's not fair!" Our units are important, but finding people who have gone through similar experiences can really help - it's just good self-care to make sure you have someone to talk to about your problems after all!

So come one come all! We'll be making noise down in the kitchen 'n sitting area off the lobby! There might even be spillover in the laundry room, who knows. Other units are welcome ta contribute! After all, for Lilis it's a great opportunity ta explore your feelings, and Taisho knows confession has been ritualized for centuries! I'm sure everybody's got plenty ta add ta this Mega-Live! Let's all get some bonding in while stuff's still chill!

((ooc: Top-level to start a "support group" and put the name in the subject line! They do not have to be serious! This is mainly a self-running live though hosts and cohosts may be around, so feel free to go wild jumping threads. Also, making multiple support groups is legit! Please check out the CO-HOSTS TOP-LEVEL if you want to help make this a Megalive or just for additional Live elements you can reference while threading!

Points Tally:

Hosts and Counter-live Hosts: row 1
Unitmates of Hosts or Counter-live Hosts: row 2
Everybody else: row 3))

[.......peers at her

YOU??]

I like shooting games. And dance games. Before we had all of our numerous dorm amenities, I would go to the arcade to play, late at night.

You have clearly visited the arcade recently...

Ah, well. I worked so hard to earn the top spot. A little maintenance now and again is harmless.

[ "harmless" except for Izanagi's lamenting ]

I'm surprised. I did not take you as someone who tried to better than others.

Even if there were no others to compete against, I'd still keep pushing myself to improve.

"Even if there were no others?" Why else?

Because the world is so much bigger than just one machine. I might hold a high score on my own, but that is just a one-time personal best. It's entirely possible that someone out there is better than me, and I don't want to give myself a false sense of confidence.

That implies there are others.

The universe is vast. Even if every person on earth gets defeated, aliens could come from a far off galaxy to curb stomp you.

Take this production, for example: many people here are hailed as the best of the best in their own world, but here...

Senior Member Creme Yvette, this is quite deep.

But why are you telling me this?

You rebutted my answer to your question, so I countered.

Were you expecting a deeper meaning?

I wasn't expecting anything deep at all, is the point.

Self-improvement of any kind is always a deep topic. And a worthwhile one.

It doesn't seem worthwhile here and now.

Instead of offering me input on something so menial, let's discuss other matters.

How are you and Cypress doing?

[knee-jerk response: fluster]

...............w-where did you get the idea that there is anything between us?

[despite it all being pretty public]

Isn't it obvious?

[insert jeopardy theme music]

...

I suppose. A courtship needn't be private. I suppose.

Ooh, it's a ~COURTSHIP~♥

[a little flustered,]

You can lower that enthusiasm of yours.

But I'm so happy for you. She's a very cute girl, who is quite sweet, but she's a little uncomfortable with physical affection herself, so she'll likely match your pace.

It would be nice if you two could work past your comfort levels together.

Is she uncomfortable with physical affection?

[are we Sure]

To be fair, I was wearing a bikini at the time.

...how were you touching her?
