Support Groups! | Super Mega-Live

[worldlyafflictions]

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))

Ah, you get along with Cardinal—well, you'll probably meet their partner eventually, who's also on our unit now; her name's Amaranth.

We have a number of younger members as well—I'd say we're split about half and half adults and teenagers at this point.

[weenwoon]

Ah! I believe Amaranth was mentioned to me as someone I need to speak with, should I wish to...

[He pauses here, as though thinking his next words over.]

...to take a more active part in all the proceedings. As for my unit, we mostly seem to have younger people... I believe myself and Jason are the oldest, though I confess I know not how old I am in truth. BARiTONES seems to be mostly made up of adults, though! I wonder if there is any reason for such splits.

[softlyfalling]

...ah! Well, I'm sure she'd be delighted to meet you—and, I suppose you'll probably meet my husband properly at some point, since Jason is a romantic partner of his.

As for the age ranges of units... well, I suppose BARiTONES has a more mature image overall? Although there was the young athlete who was friends with our Gold.

[weenwoon]

Oh, I would be happy to! There are still so many people I do not know, after all.

And could that possibly have been Wildfire? Alexander and Five's son, yes? I feel all too sorry I never got to meet him, truly. I had quite an interesting debate with Five one day, you see, on the nature of kindness and similar, and Wildfire was the only person Five was prepared to accept as unconditionally good.

[softlyfalling]

[ son... ]

Ah, I think so...?

...who is "Five"?

[weenwoon]

[He met some very weird people on his first days, ok.]

Oh, I believe he goes by "Valour" on his unit, Taisho. Brother of Hardtack.

[softlyfalling]

[ does five even know about the time wifi stabbed a man in his first week for being weird and gross,

actually he'd probably still think wifi is perfect. because wifi is in fact perfect. ]

Ah, I think that's the name I was introduced to him as, yes—

That's a bit of a cynical take, but I suppose I can understand it, as much as I'd meet him on the field of battle to make a case for our Gold.

[weenwoon]

[As if stabbing someone would go against Five's definition of who is good.]

I confess nearly everyone else among my friends calls him Five, so it can be easy to forget others know him as Valour! Every time Cardinal calls him that I have to stop and think who they could mean.

[He laughs pleasantly.]

I haven't met Gold, but I would love to, too. Maybe you could introduce us sometime!

[softlyfalling]

Ah, well—you'll likely meet him since he's quite a good cook, and sometimes holds Lives to get people to taste-test things, but if you're ever visiting avante, you might meet him, too.

Although, you might want to try and befriend Kohime before visiting. She's very particular about her space, but she's good friends with Intensity, at least...
