imeeji_frontstage | fanmail + theme announcement!

Who: You!
Where: Hotel Lobby!
When: Day 338

[ What?? Is it. . . fanmail time already????

It is! So there are many boxes scattered around, less like they're blocking the entrances and more like they're just blocking your walking path in general. Don't trip, there's a box! Look out, it's a box! What's in the sky!? . . . I dunno, that's not a box!? ]

Producers: It's starting to warm up, so let's warm things up!
Producers: Out with the old, in with the new! Novel and Romance are over, now it's ✨✨✨RECIPROCATION✨✨✨ and ✨✨✨DRESS-UP✨✨✨for you!
Producers: Did you get something nice? Pay it back, you fucking fucker!
Producers: Did you get something mean? Get thy vengeance sevenfold!
Producers: Oh, and make sure you look nice when you do it!
Producers: You won't get the extra points though ☆(・ω<)

[ OOC NOTE: WE'RE GONNA TRY SOMETHING NEW!

In the interest of making it easier to hide/separate NSFW content, we're asking players to put their NSFW fanmail reactions under a "cut". How does that work? Here's an example!

We've got a poll up on Discord about it; if it's too much effort or if there's something about it you super don't like, you don't have to do it, but for the sake of player comfort and happiness, if it's not too big of an ask, we'd like everyone's cooperation in trying this out. Thank you! ]

You weren't already?

Well, congratulations. Want me to transport us to the dorm so you can die with less traffic?

'Cause I asked him if we could not 'date', at first.

... Yes, please.

Huh. I guess even mister together can be a normal teenager sometimes. [He's teasing.]

[But he'll pull up his cloak and transport them to his room.]

[ Once they're in S's room, he'll probably sit up and try to stand. ]

Is this what being a 'normal teenager' is like...?

Go totally goopy because of your crush slash significant other? Yeah, pretty much.

You can chill. Bed's clean and everything.

[ He'll take the invitation to sit on the bed, then. ]

... Weird that I'm getting a 'normal teenage experience' in hell, of all places.

I think that just proves how persistent the teenage experience is.

Sure, death is an ever looming threat and things are crazy, but the person you like is always going to make you feel like you're gonna self combust.

Well, there's that, but considering I wasn't really expecting it back home I sure as wasn't expecting it here, either.

Pretty sure you only get out of it if you're on the aroace spectrum and you're kind of at the age now of figuring out if that's a thing.

What made you not expect it back home?

[ He tilts his head like he doesn't understand what he means, exactly. ]

Um... highly uncertain future, basically.

Highly uncertain future. That can be so many things.

Aromantic and asexual. People who never experience romantic or sexual attraction. Which is more like....I don't know, genetics? There's a lot of debate what causes a certain sexuality, its a spectrum, all very complex, and also not a choice. Short of it though, aroace person is one of the lucky few to not get blindsided by feelings and hormones for a certain person.

Heh, how convenient. [ Though he says this wryly. ]

... Let's just say I have reasons to doubt if I'll live to see next year.

The joys of complex self identities.

[Wait what]

[EXCUSE YOU SIR]

What? Why wouldn't you? Are you sick? Because like, I'm pretty sure there's a lot of worlds with better medicines than yours.

No, no, it's not like that. [ He waves his hand. ] If it was, I'd be able to give a more definite answer, whether it's good news or bad news. It's more, "well the chances of me getting killed by someone sure did shoot up".

What does that mean?

... ... ...

So you remember the memory with the ghost, right?

Yes?

The reason that was a big deal is 'cause after everything that happened before, people, uh, now think the sun's Chosen are actually possessed by demons?

[ Please tell him you can connect the dots. ]

.....people are going to kill you because they think you're possessed by a demon?

I know this might sound ridiculous to some people, but that's a real thing that can happen where I'm from! Demons are real, for starters! So it's not that hard to see how people might believe 'blessed by the sun' is actually a sign of being possessed by a sun-stealing demon, especially when they've been told for years that's what it is.

It doesn't matter if it's a real thing or not, deciding a whole group of people are the same thing and should be killed for it is still ridiculous and stupid!

Because as far as they're concerned, that's what we are and the only cure for demonic possession is death! It's people talking cock except the problem is shit like this actually does happen and people die for it, so no one wants to risk it!

And that's how both eugenics and secret civilizations the breed world burning radicals happen!

... [ Deep breath. ] Anyway, that's the sort of situation I found myself in back home. It's kind of hard to think about being a normal teenager, after all that.

Your world needs better history teachers. This is why we learn this stuff, so we don't repeat horrific crimes against humanity. [He rubs his face.]

I think that's exactly what you need to do then.
