week 5: slumber party?

[polterguests]

[ The maze is prone to its twists and turns, and today you find it doing much the same. Perhaps you're trying to head back to the Heart. Maybe you were finishing up at the Observatory, or paying your respects at the Goodbyekitty Temple...

Regardless of where you start, here's where you suddenly stand: in a long hallway, lit only by cool florescent lights overhead. Not all of them work, leaving parts of the hallway shrouded in darkness. Behind you, there's only endless hallway. Ahead of you, there is one single door—though this week, it seems to be decorated by string lights. Aw, that's nice. It almost... looks inviting? Well, step right on in.

When you enter, you're in an enormous pillow fort. It's the type of thing that sleepy, social teenagers would only dream of. If only they had the architectural knowledge of structural integrity to pull this thing off! Everything is plush, the area is illuminated by cute string lights, and it seems like there are already a few shadowy figures in the room waiting for you...

Won't you play their games?

Cards that explain the games are scattered throughout the area, bringing you up to speed. It seems like each slumber party participant has one they'd like to try.

2 Lies and a Truth

The classic game as you know it—but this time, it seems like there's misdirection all around. Guess the truth among the selection that the Game Host presents.

You must win 3 rounds before the shadows recede.

Would You Rather?

The Game Host will present a Would You Rather? scenario, however you must guess what the Game Host would rather choose between the two options.

The Game Host may be a bit deceiving when you engage in a debate with them to get a better idea of the scenario.

You must win 3 rounds before the shadows recede.

The Ranking Game

The Game Host will name one category where they've ranked three things/people/places/etc. in order of most to least suitable. However, they will give five options total.

Ex Category: Most Babygirl in All of Purgatory, Ex Options: Rafayel, Obikawa, Tokinaga, Tsukasa, Thorns

If you correctly place a name into a ranking (ex: Rafayel as No. 1 Babygirl), you win one round.

You must win 3 rounds before the shadows recede.

(OOC) House Rules

Only one person should play each round. (In essence, reply in one long thread and you can tap each other in and out but it'll be easier for the Game Host to answer sequentially instead of multi-threading.)

The Game Host may be merciful or cruel. (The Game Host can decide if they come up with new rounds for 2 Lies and a Truth/Would You Rather every time you get it wrong, or let you pity choose from remaining options.)

There is also a few packs of Uno around. You're welcome. You're also all walking in in PJs. Once again, you're welcome. ]

Precisely! I can't think of a more pleasant morning experience.

[He hums.]

Having that moment of time to spend together before we begin our days apart is an important cornerstone of keeping our relationship strong!

Ah, I would, of course, also make lunch bentos for the both of us.

[Househusband-core.]

[aerodynamic]

Well you're not wrong. We usually have breakfast together in my house before we split up for the day so I can only imagine it'd be the same in a marriage or whatever. [ his eyes immediately light up though. ]

Ooh, yeah, definitely! Sometimes—[ his thoughts come crashing to a halt as he suddenly rethinks about the times yu would bring him a bento for no reason and it was always his favorite foods. ] .... sometimes food is the best way to show someone you appreciate them.

[ tsukasa really is househusbandcore, someone is going to be so lucky to have him if he ever seriously learns what romance is. ]

[aspirings]

[...?]

Yes, I completely agree! It is important to take care of the people you love.

So you can leave the cooking and cleaning to me, of course! As befits a world future star, I am excellent at both! And mending, and the like as well!

[aerodynamic]

[ this icon's so cute. ]

Okay, if you're doing all of that though, what'm I bringing to this marriage exactly? I'm starting to look bad here.

[aspirings]

[Sparkles at.]

You will be bringing your wonderful company to our marriage, naturally!

[aerodynamic]

That doesn't feel very equal, you know.

[aspirings]

[... Huh. Wait, his perfect AU happy marriage--]

W-well... what would you want to bring to the marriage?

[aerodynamic]

[ the whiplash of this whole post is sending me. ]

I mean... being good company is nice, but there should be some sort of balance? Like if you're doing all of the housework, I should be buying stuff for you or something.

[aspirings]

[i know, i can't take this

Yosuke do you want to be Tsukasa's sugar daddy]

Buying things for me? Hm, but surely for a balanced, comfortable marriage, we would both be contributing and then handling our finances in a way that we both felt comfortable and satisfied with--

[aerodynamic]

Yeah, but when you're with someone don't you ever get the urge to just kinda spoil 'em?

[ that is probably just him, don't mind him. ]

[aspirings]

Well, yes, of course!

[Brightly.]

I always enjoy being able to spoil my kouhai at school, and of course I'll happily spoil my friends or younger siblings whenever the opportunity arises!

[...]

Hmm, I see, so it would be about spoiling me as your spouse. [Why is this still happening.] In that case, I accept, of course!

[aerodynamic]

I think spoiling a person you're married to is a little different than spoiling your friends or siblings, yeah. So that's exactly it. [ pats his head. ] I knew you'd see it my way, so... guess I can accept that tradeoff.

[ both of you should shut up. ]

[aspirings]

[both of them should shut up.

At this point, to free us from this horrible thread, Shit Hits the Fan.

This is fine.]
