ᯓ⭐ WEEK FOUR MINGLE

Heya, lovebirds! You're entering the final week and things sure are... great.

Right?

Well, whether you're feeling great or not, you're going to find yourself looking your best in formal wear this week! Suits, gorgeous dresses, fabulously outlandish outfits, you name it, you're stuck in it. No sweatpants or lab coats for anyone this week. We have standards.

And we also believe in telling the truth, one way or another!

That's right, if you're asked a question, any question at all, no matter how innocent or dire, you are compelled to speak your most truthful answer. It could be who you think is the hottest in the castle. It could be your opinion on orange juice. Whatever it is, there is no longer a brain-to-mouth filter in place!

And maybe you'll figure that out and all decide to be merciful, but Riri will be popping up every now and then. And Riri? Riri will not be merciful.

Except for one thing, and that's a note in the main room that states simply: You all suck at this, so this week, our good ol' lesbian duo can now speak normally. You're welcome. ♥

I only went into the last one [ by accident ] and I wasn't familiar with any of those tales. I believe I was supposed to make it snow?

[ sorry he's got nothing. but hmm, his curiosity is peaked by the game mention.

he might have been playing a lot of those because he does not need to sleep much. ]

[alcoheal]

Can you normally make it snow?

[Hold on, Manuela. Down that path lies distraction. She shakes her head.] They weren't all that familiar to me, either, but I could piece together a good bedtime story from some of them. The other scenes? [She makes a rather unladylike, guttural sound of dismissal.] I never knew school could be like that it some lands.

[cosmoid]

Yes.

[ too bad, he's answering it. though he's quickly distracted by the school talk. ]

They should have advertised it as such, I would have participated.

[ it is better that he didn't. ]

[alcoheal]

Huh. [She sounds a little more curious about his control over the weather than she might want to let on.]

That's more eager than I've heard you get about most activities here. What's your interest in the genre? Or maybe I should phrase it as a prayer? I've really never been good at those.

[cosmoid]

Prayer?

The high school in Shioshishio recently closed, and things are far less exciting without it.

[ gossip? gossip. ]

[alcoheal]

Yeah, you know... "Scale of the Sea God Uroko, please grant us your vi-dee-oh game wisdom to get us through this difficult time."

[Manuela pauses, then coughs into her fist.]

...I'm better with confessions than prayers. And "exciting" is certainly one word I'd use to describe some of the ideas from that first week.

[cosmoid]

Pfft—haha.

[ not a real laugh, but uroko's still amused. ]

I was never one for those formalities, though some of Shioshishio still practice it. If someone really wants to bribe me, they know to bring sake and food.

I might have to bring one of these games back with me, though it likely wouldn't last in the sea.

[voxnozzz]

[ oz should've been paying more attention, instead of being terribly confused during those late nights. ]

... Uroko.

[ hoping he's not making it snow salt. but also, this is their single braincell aligning, and oz's way of not!asking for assistance in navigating the vid-ee-oh games later.

he's so behind the times. he's so behind.............. ]

[cosmoid]

Oz.

[ judging by his smile, he's probably not making it snow. though he did consider it for the lulz since he can do it on demand, but phoenix talked him out of it. ]

It's no sake drinking contest, but if that's the ask this week then I suppose I'll indulge the potato.

[voxnozzz]

[ phoenix you COWARD

but it's not obvious, the way his posture relaxes just slightly. who knows how useful it'll be, but oz is willing to try anything to get a little closer to the answer at the end of all of this.

to— ]

... Thank you.

[ ... ah, ]

We may skip the latest one you've tried.

[ that one was more confusing than the rest of them. the (redacted because i cannot think of a bad otome game right now one) ]

[cosmoid]

Hoh? I suppose playing a wizard for you would be as exciting as me playing a mermaid. Though that one could hop between stories.

[ routes, he means routes.

also it's fine I nominate taisho x Alice for being confusing as hell along with being meta as hell.

wizard says hello. ]

[voxnozzz]

[ NOT WIZARD.

he considers the sentence, for some reason, and- ]

... I am also capable of teleportation. The rest is only the laws of the world.

[ not that he didn't (REDACTED) those too...........

do not dare add something to the abilities of a wizard like he is lesser. his northern brain finds that offensive, especially when it's a wizard like wizard.

wizard no longer looks like a word, ]

[cosmoid]

[ uroko chuckles, he honestly didn't mean anything beyond it besides idle commentary of how deranged that got at the end. noted, though. ]

I wonder if this one works the same way. Given our current predicament, breaking a few rules seems worth the effort. [ because yes, he assumes oz can do this off the vibes. the Sea taketh and giveth.

we do not need a bad end where we break meta. probably. ]

[voxnozzz]

[ he'd have buried this place under piles of snow and ice if he could already. they'd stepped too far from the moment this started, and oz is not used to being humbled.

his mood... his pride...... don't make him sulk, uroko, or the wind will pick up. ]

If it is capable of bending, it has not done so yet.

[ but also from what i know about taisho x alice, they shouldn't bend it like that. ]

[cosmoid]

Hmmm.

[ is all he says, he's not that sensitive to the wind but he's conversed long enough with the Sea God to get a feel for these kinds of things. (he might be a bit curious too, given the inferences and Vibes but. even he knows when not to indulge himself sometimes).

so, accordingly— ]

Shall we go later then?
