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! ]

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?

[1istheloneliest]

If you hear that clearly it's because that's what Five would actually say. He expects people to trust he's right even though he's awful at trusting people himself. Granted he is right a lot, but it's a two way street.

[he sounds lightly annoyed but not actually angry]

I've been operating on a basis of experimentation lately so I'm willing to be adventurous. Though I'd hate to disrupt your scheming to feed me strange things down the line.

[weenwoon]

He is quite terrible at trusting others, yes. And I think he doesn't really know when it's a good or a bad idea to tell people he was right...

[He sounds a little sad for a moment, but then shakes his head. Oh well!]

Oh, don't worry, I can make plenty more schemes for fun. Besides, I'm sure there's plenty of weird things for us to eat!

[1istheloneliest]

Never thought of it like that but I think you're spot on that he struggles with that.

[he chuckles]

Now who would've guessed you'd be so devious.

[weenwoon]

I think it's part of his desire to take care of people without really knowing how to. I know he cares for me, but it can often manifest in being... fussy, I suppose. Or bossy. "I'm always right, you're stupid, no you don't get to do this, I don't need you worrying, you don't know me". He's protective, but not really letting people protect him, I think. Maybe not even with Alexander, since Alexander didn't know about his drinking problems.

And I'm extremely devious! You might have made a wrong choice there.

[He says it in an obviously overdramatic way, though. It's for fun and Levity would backpedal immediately if he thought Hardy was getting uncomfortable.]

[1istheloneliest]

Alexander didn't know? Oh. [beat] I just always figured he did.

[apparently that was not a safe assumption to make]

I'm not too worried about wrong choices, we balance out since I'm not much for deviousness.

[weenwoon]

I thought so too, but turns out they keep secrets even from each other. All of BARiTONES are a little weird that way, I think. I can't really imagine being secretive with someone you love.

[Oh no Hardy... cute...]

...To be fair, I'm not actually devious. Just a little mischievous. I'm not even any good at lying.

[1istheloneliest]

Me neither. They get a little too smooth for their own good sometimes.

[his grin widens]

I like mischievous, I can handle mischievous. No good at lying is a charm point too.

[weenwoon]

[Is this what they call flirting. Levity can't help smiling at being told he has charm points - he's completely aware of it, but compliments are still always good.]

I'm starting to gather that it is. Most people here are too good at lying, including certain someones we know.

[And, looking through the pizza menu--]

Oh, there's ones with pineapple... and even chocolate.
