[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))

Of course. But then . . . ? [what do?]

You tell 'em and you marry 'em. The ceremony can be as big or as little as you both want, that's not the important part. The important thing is you and that special someone building a life together. That part's not necessarily gonna be glamorous or fancy. It's you and it's them, and it's finding the little moments to spend with each other. Whether it's dates or meals or even just spending time in a room together doing your own thing. All of it'll be precious because it's what you're choosing with them. ....And all that can be done here or at home, so long as it's both of you choosing each other every single day.

[wow, you're cute]

That is what I had thought, but it is good to hear someone else say as much. Thank you, truly.

[ Wow, he is not cute???? ]

Haha, well that's just my thoughts on it. But uh... Congratulations.

Thank you. It has been — Eventful.

You spoke as if you had experience. Are you also so fortunate?

C'mon, do I really strike you as the marrying type?

Yes, very much so. Whomever you set your heart upon and returns your affections would be very happy, I believe.

Haha, that.... wasn't the answer I expected. Anyway, none of my future plans involve settling down and spending a life with someone. I'll leave matrimonial bliss to people like you.

People like me? I apologize if I am mistaken, but that seems very presumptive of you.

[ He shrugs, seemingly unconcerned. ]

Haha, it might be.

Then, if it is not too much to ask, I would like to know what sort of person I appear to be.

Well, for one thing— the ring would indicate it's something you're very much interested in. But that aside, keeping in mind I don't know you that well, agreeing with all that stuff tells me that you're ultimately interested in making a real connection with someone... That if you're gonna be in it then you're in it all the way, not just out of romance or idealism.

....That was also meant literally, though. I'm leaving matrimonial bliss to people like you.

And if the marriage were arranged? Not my choice nor my chosen's?

No one's going around forcing people to get married here. So if that person's here and you're choosing to go through with it anyway, then my impression still stands.

You would be surprised . . .

Still, you are correct. Would you like the favor returned?

Sure, why not?

I may overstep, so I would appreciate your forgiveness and understanding . . .

With regards to marriage, you have deeply considered a few, but you have demurred in order to protect them in some manner. Still, you have given it great thought, so you are not set against the concept, merely unwelcome to consider it for yourself.

In a broader sense, you appreciate those around you, but you do not wish to let people press further with yourself. Somehow, and this is the most tenuous point, I sense fear to allow it.

What do you make of my suspicions . . . ?

[ Hey wow he feels Seen???? His expression barely flickers for more than a moment, but if she catches it she might see the surprise before he smooths it to a casual grin. ]

I wouldn't say I'm afraid, but the rest of it's not too far off.

[ducking her head a little]

Thank you for your patience. I must admit that our units give a good deal of insight.

You would not happen to have any siblings . . . ?

Haha, fair enough. And no, I'm an only child. Why do you ask?

It may be based upon looks and the topic alone, but you remind me distantly of my brother, though you are much kinder in your words.

Oh yeah? What kind of person was he?

Exceedingly caring though he had trouble expressing it.

Haha, that's quite the impression you've got if me if I remind you of him, even distantly.

More that I do not have many people to compare others to, so it may be a matter of limited means.
