fanmail + theme announcement!

[idolpro]

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! ]

[weenwoon]

Well, I'd certainly hope you're not feeling sad right now!

[He grins at his ~good joke~.]

Cosmo is very caring, isn't he?

[1istheloneliest]

[smiling at the "joke" but eye rolling at the question]

In his own imperious way, he is, yes.

[weenwoon]

You know, at one point I started wondering if he wasn't my father, because he fusses so much.

[dads: good thing to talk about with the hargreeves?..]

[1istheloneliest]

[he lets out a sad gruff laugh]

Because he fusses so much... Is that a thing dads do, I wonder?

[what Reginald did kind of went outside the scope of "fuss"]

[weenwoon]

[ :'( he doesn't know much about exactly how bad hargreeves dad was!! ]

...I think that is what parents are supposed to do when they care. But I know now that it's... not always the case.

[He sighs quietly before looking up at Hardy.]

Are you alright?

[1istheloneliest]

[he looks at Levity and gives another small smile]

I'm fine, really. Family and especially parents are just complicated for me.

[weenwoon]

It does sound like you've been through a lot. All of you... I simply don't want to make you uncomfortable. But if you wanted to talk about it, I would be glad to listen.

[1istheloneliest]

I'm fine with telling you a little at a time, I don't want to overwhelm you. Plus, I want to know more about you too.

[weenwoon]

A little at a time it is, then! Though, hmmm... I don't know if there is much to know about me, but I will certainly do my best to share.

[Annnnd let's assume they got to the department store!]

Let's try for lunch first? We can talk more that way, too, and then go around to buy some things.

[1istheloneliest]

There's gotta be a little something, but I don't wanna push.

[The store /o/]

Lunch sounds nice, do you have a type of food you're in the mood for?

[weenwoon]

Mm... I've been starting to eat meat again some more. Some kind of stir-fry dish, maybe?

[He lights up suddenly.]

Ah, but here's my excuse to ask what your favorite food is!

[1istheloneliest]

I do like meat a lot.

[his ears turn a bit red]

Honestly, there's not much food I don't like. All breakfast foods are great. Donuts are great. For the last while I've just been trying to eat as much new stuff I haven't tried before.

[weenwoon]

Oh--what about pizza? I tried it for the first time a few days ago and it was great! I don't think I've had donuts before, though...

[1istheloneliest]

[he grins, Levity is cute]

Pizza is good. We might need to find a place that sells donuts if you've never had them before.

[donuts are one of the few positive things he associates with his family life back home]

Oh, I think there's a place here that does these crazy corn dogs, I think they sell donuts of some kind too.

[he pulls up this menu on his phone]

How does this look? Or we could get pizza first and come here for dessert.

[weenwoon]

[He looks through the menu curiously, a grin on his lips.]

I don't understand these 'dogs' in the slightest, but that looks amazing. And the donuts are really cute! Let's go for the pizza first and then get the most indulgent desserts we can.

[1istheloneliest]

The dog thing must have roots as a term somewhere, but I dunno it. That settles it then, pizza and then a luxurious dessert tour it is.

[weenwoon]

I wonder if Vergil knows... He likes words.

[One elevator trip to the food floor it is, then!]

You know, I think we should trade stories whenever we try new foods. I've started to explore, too - I don't really know or remember anything about my home's cuisine, but there is so much different food here! It's really interesting.

[1istheloneliest]

He does, but this seems outside his wheelhouse. Who knows though.

Hopefully I'll have some interesting stuff to share, we can try it.

[weenwoon]

I can try asking him. Or maybe Jason? He knows a lot of Earth things.

[He leans onto Hardy's shoulder, a bit playfully.]

Well, you already told me about the corn dogs and donuts, and those are both interesting!

[1istheloneliest]

I haven't really talked to Jason but if he's familiar with Earth stuff then he's a good choice.

[slight flush but he stays composed otherwise]

Guess a lotta stuff can be interesting if you're unfamiliar...

[weenwoon]

He does know a lot! Too much, sometimes - I still don't know what a dive is, or why we should start one in Cleveland, Ohio. If anything, I thought Cleveland Ohio was the name of a person.

[Oh the flush is cute. Success.]

I am unfamiliar with a lot of things, but I do naturally find almost everything interesting. There's always more to see beyond the surface, isn't there? And it's pleasant to work out the hows and whys of things.

[1istheloneliest]

[l-laughing]

It does sound like a person if you don't know it's a place. A dive like a bar? I'm not sure if you seem like the bar running type.

[he smiles]

That's a nice way to look at things. Has more impact since I can tell you mean it.

[weenwoon]

Hey, I could definitely run a bar!

[He laughs, good-humoured. Well, he could!]

And you get a point for knowing what a dive is. Five didn't, when I asked him.

[But yes, food court time? Levity looks around before finding the Italian cafe.]

Ah, there we are. What kind of pizza do you want? When I tried to order the other day, there were so many kinds...

[1istheloneliest]

Now that you know what it is, I'm sure you could.

[his tone is teasing]

I know lots of stuff Five doesn't.

[this is entirely bluster]

There are a lot of options. We could go traditional or get something with more unusual ingredients, hmm.

[weenwoon]

[He laughs, closing his eyes for a moment.]

Oh, I can just hear Five insisting that he knows more than you. And probably saying that he's "always right".

[Skimming through the menu...]

Hmmm~ Are you in the mood to experiment? Though on the other hand I don't want to make you eat something weird on the first date. That's for, let me see... Maybe the fourth?
