Support Groups! | Super Mega-Live

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))

Well. Games have been pretty tame lately, it's true. Not sure how long that will be for.

[ a pause, then he adds ]

I did mean it, you know. That your relationship with her doesn't define you. But it will probably always hurt.

Still.

You're stronger than her and her failure doesn't mean you're unworthy of love. Just keep it in mind.

[She stiffens, and then barks a short, sardonic laugh.]

Please, like I need anyone else. I can do it on my own like I did before.

I'm a little surprised at you, though –– invoking this 'love' and 'friendship' stuff? Really? People like you as long as it's convenient and drop you just as easily.

I wouldn't say I'm invoking anything about love and friendship. I'm simply saying that your relationship with your mother doesn't mean you're unworthy of it.

Whether you choose to believe other people's love is sincere or not is another matter.

I choose not to be an idiot. I've lost count how many people have left, I've learned my lesson, thanks.

And are you keeping count on those that are staying? Like your friend on Future is Now.

Who, Adora? She stayed for Sabre, that doesn't count.

No, I meant the smartass you were planning things with when you called me there.

[Lashes her tail sharply, then she stills it, adopting a patronizing singsong when she replies.]

Ooooooh, you mean the one that threw a fit when I played that game and switched places with Sabre for a bit and said I was a traitor and he should've known better than to ever trust me and hasn't bothered with me since?

Yeah, wrong count, but at least it's a relevant example.

—Are you shitting me.

Did he seriously get mad at you for a prank?

[Her tail is lashing again even though her tone is light and flippant.]

So what? It's a good reminder.

That mess has been dealt with, anyway, so who cares.

[She points straight up rather than naming 'Heaven' or mentioning the demon contract specifically.]

Fine.

Then what about me.

What about you.

[ he crosses his chest at his arms at that like he's not sure he wants to spell it outright or not, but eventually ]

Well I care for you.

And I'm still here.

For now, sure.

And I think that shows exactly what I mean with trust issues.

Regardless. It isn't exactly news.

Don't you have "siblings" to freak out about, or something?

Only two are here which means I can accept new candidates to freak out about.

And you did seem to understand Vanya better than I could so maybe it's a great arrangement.

Uh, what? What do I have to do with her?

I'm just saying you understand her so your point of view has value. Especially if I'm giving you grief rather than my siblings.

. . .

Uh, okay, in so far as we've both nearly destroyed the world, sure. "Value" is kind of a weird word to use for that, though.

Your point of view has obviously had value for other reasons to Kohime I'm just playing along since you basically told me to go worry about them instead.

I can multitask.

Oh, you want some pointers~?

Or maybe you want me to give Vanya some tips.

Really starting to feel like we're not on the same wavelength for this conversation.

Yeah, good call. I deal in military strategy, she's more into. . .

Actually, I don't even know what to call all of that. Magic, I guess?

[Like. They probably aren't on the same track here but also it's because she's just decided not to be.]

[ that earns her a laugh, though, and then he shakes his head ]

Violin actually. She's only recently started to deal with superpowers so I wouldn't say she's into it.

But she is a musician.
