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))

[she snorts and flicks his forehead]

Yes, you do. You're stubborn and pushy and don't like to lose, among other things. Arrogant for a start, and think you're above some things, but I bet you're really not.

As for aims or goals you just got here and barely remember anything about yourself. Give it time, Nite.

Let's start with what you do want.

1/2

[flawandorder]

...well, aren't you quick with the analysis?

[He doesn't seem annoyed-- rather, amused.]

I want to be of use to my unit. I want to learn what I can about those involved in the creation of this program.

[flawandorder]

[casually--]

...oh, and I want you.

[failedsafe]

I have eyes. Very beautiful eyes.

[anyway this MOTHERFUCKER

but she's just as casual]

Now, isn't that something? Explain the logic in wanting me, since you're so detached and without feeling.

[flawandorder]

Perhaps it's instinct.

[his smile widens]

Or maybe it's fate.

[failedsafe]

So you believe in fate? That doesn't seem very rational under most circumstances.

[flawandorder]

Being infatuated with a girl I've only just met isn't very rational at all, is it? So why should I expect the explanation to be entirely so?

[failedsafe]

Yeah, but I'm really charming, gorgeous, and cute, so you could be forgiven. Wouldn't be the first time. Or the second.

[she pauses.

or the third actually.

...or fourth.

............hm.]

Anyway!

[flawandorder]

Perhaps you're simply a witch, who's true power is casting a spell over those around you, causing them to fall for you.

Or maybe you underestimate what affect your love has on others.

[failedsafe]

How am I underestimating when I've just said all the delightful ways I'd captivate someone~!♥

[flawandorder]

While that's true-- all the things you listed were rather superficial.

For example, you could have instead included things such as insightful, empathetic, kind, loving--

[He could in fact go on.]

[failedsafe]

Yeah, but we're talking about me?

[flawandorder]

...yes, we are.

[failedsafe]

Oh. Ohhhhhh. You think I'm all those things?!

[flawandorder]

That was the point, yes.

[He’s not laughing but only just bare barely. The look on his face says it though.]

[failedsafe]

You're amused! That's another feeling!

[flawandorder]

[s i g h]

Very well, we'll add "humorous" to your list of traits as well.

[failedsafe]

[:3c]

I don't really understand your crusade of emotional self-denial.

[flawandorder]

Coming from the woman who needed to have a compliment explained to her, that doesn't hold the weight I think you'd like it to.

[failedsafe]

That's comparing apples to panties.

[flawandorder]

Not at all. If you want to try and say someone else is flawed-- perhaps you should examine your own first.

[failedsafe]

[she chuckles humourlessly.]

Oh, I am extremely flawed and aware of it, don't you worry about that.

[flawandorder]

...if you would like my sincere judgment, then yes you are. However-- no more so than any other soul here.

You have fewer flaws than you have genuinely wonderful qualities.

[failedsafe]

Oh, is that something you should really commit to saying? We haven't known each other on, I could have so many more flaws than you're aware of.

[flawandorder]

Are they truly flaws-- or simply things about yourself that you are not content with?

Nonetheless, I stand by that statement. Considering you were not aware of your own compliments, I have a feeling you're not ready or willing to see your true value.

I will say this however-- looks are not a quality to fall in love with. Those who share your feelings clearly saw something worth pursuing, at a depth you yourself seem blind to or unwilling to see. If you do not trust me-- trust those who have stayed by your side instead.
