WEEK 1 MINGLE

[foundationmods]

As dawn approaches on Monday, the contestants are greeted to a beautiful, sunny day. It's the first full week of their time in the house, and after the rather troubling introduction on Saturday it's hard to know just what to expect

For the first week, the surrounding area seems quiet and peaceful. The weather stays a nice 75 degrees during the day, and it dips down to the 50s at night. Comfortable, and without any real disturbances from nature or house. It's almost as if the whole weekend was just a bad dream, and maybe the actual game won't be as bad as Dazai made it out to me.

However, those rules and profiles are still hanging in the living room, a constant reminder of the warnings that have been given. What will happen now? There haven't been any deaths at this containment site in years, but will that change with these new rules? Only time will tell.

Perhaps it's a good idea to enjoy this first week. Go swimming, watch a movie, or just hang out together and get to know each other better. You never know, this might be the last time to see some of the contestants.

[He's shifting onto his back so that belt is a little further away from Vanitas' hand.

....And also, so his feet are ready to kick him in the gut if he makes an attempt.]

[darkremnants]

[ Wow don't be a tail hog. Vanitas will think about it for a moment or two before putting his hands on his feet and pushing the kitten in a direction. ]

[scarsnstripes]

[Welp, that wasn't what he expected. Atsushi clings to both belt and snacks, trying to squirm away from Vanitas' grip.]

Get off me!

[darkremnants]

I'm not on you. Just pushing you out of the way~

[ And maybe towards the pool. how much is he paying attention? ]

[scarsnstripes]

[Not nearly enough, right now. He kicks out lightly at Vanitas, not enough to actually harm but ideally enough to get him to let go.]

I'm not in the way of anything! Come on, just let go.

[darkremnants]

You're in my way.

[ Grabbing that ankle. ]

Does the kitty know how to swim?

[scarsnstripes]

I was perfectly out of the way where I was!

[Vanitas you're just being a brat, admit it.]

Eh? What do you--

[And then it clicks... perhaps a little too late.]

Vanitas no!!

[darkremnants]

[ just yeeting the kitty into the pool. rip crackers ]

[scarsnstripes]

Ah....!

[Atsushi has just enough time to toss his crackers away so they don't get wet before he's grabbing Vanitas, yanking him along with him into the pool mid-yeet.

If he's going down, he's taking Vanitas with him!]

[darkremnants]

[ can't waste food to save himself.

Vanitas is caught and is going down with him. Hopefully he doesn't land on him. This is the second pool related incident that he also got wet for. RIP

He goes under and swims up to the surface immediately, coughing up water because he didn't see that happening. Atsushi gets to see him with his hair all down though? ]

[scarsnstripes]

[Nope, his dignity is less important than the food.

Not that he has any dignity. He goes under with Vanitas, letting go once they've hit the water and swimming back up almost immediately as well with a gasp. He'd had time to hold his breath, at least.

He shakes his head, splattering water everywhere and quite possibly smacking Vanitas with one long, wet bang.]

Serves you right for being a jerk.

[He's sulking a little, but Vanitas looks... kind of funny, hair down and damp in his face. It's kind of cute.]

[darkremnants]

[ wow. shaking his own hair and just sending water all over. then just trying to push it out of his face. ]

I could always drown you.

[ moving to the edge and just pulling himself up. just going to sit on the ledge, keeping his feet and legs in the pool. just going to peel off his shirt. hey look, you get to see vanitas' scars, muscles, and tats. congrats. ]

[scarsnstripes]

And I'd just tug you down with me again.

[He wades over to the edge himself, though he pauses in the shallows for a moment after Vanitas removes his shirt, bicolored eyes glancing over him for a moment. There's so many scars.... and...

...Wow, he's build.

For Atsushi's part, he's not in much better shape: He had a horrible tendency to wear white, and the thin summer button-up hid very little when wet. There's mostly pale and unmarked skin aside from a set of massive scars running along his left side, thick dark stripes of roughened skin that trail from back to front just above his hips, almost like the stripes of a tiger.

...Ah, he's staring isn't he.]

[darkremnants]

[ yup he's staring. Vanitas looks gives a smirk at that once he realizes where Atsushi's attention is. ]

See something you like, Kitten?

[ we'll get to the dark stripes after this ]

[scarsnstripes]

[Caught red handed, Atsushi jumps a little as a hint of warmth comes to his cheeks, bangs hanging damp in his eyes.

He wasn't staring!

...Ok maybe he was staring a little.]

I was just looking at your tattoos! I wasn't... really expecting that.

[It's not a lie, but it might not be the entire truth either.]

[darkremnants]

[ bingo. he'll lean back, putting his hands behind him to rest on the concrete and prop him up. go ahead and look? ]

It's only fair that I get to see yours, too.

[scarsnstripes]

[He might very well go ahead and look a bit... except Vanitas is commenting about 'his'. It's confusing for just a moment, surprise evident on his face before he's glancing down, his blush fading as his eyes land on see through fabric and the scar tissue he normally keeps well hidden at all times. He rubs his side lightly, smiling a little awkwardly.]

It's... not a tattoo.

[darkremnants]

Show me.

[ He can practically see everything else through that ]

[scarsnstripes]

[He looks more than a little uncomfortable at the request, but it's true... Vanitas can probably see everything like this anyway.

...And it was probably fair, after seeing his own scars.

Atsushi lets out a sigh, glancing away to the side as he lifts the edge of his shirt. The oddest part about his skin is probably how few scars he even has: There's almost no marks to see, aside from the oddly uniform large patches of old scar tissue along his side.

The tiger healed most things, except for the most traumatic reminders.]

...It's an old burn, is all.

[darkremnants]

[ stop wearing everything on your face. it makes atsushi an easy target.

also want a tiny bit of proof vanitas has had some growth in the last two years? ]

It's proof you're alive.

[ Saying it so casually. ]

1/2

[scarsnstripes]

[Atsushi is many things, but good at pretending is not one of them. Never has been, not even when it would be wiser to do so.

So when Vanitas says that he's treated to a wide eyed look, surprise and confusion clear on his face.]

[scarsnstripes]

[It fades after a moment into a tiny smile as he ducks his head, nodding in response to Vanitas' words.]

I know. I just don't like showing people because... It's easier, I guess.

[Questions. Concerns. Misunderstandings. All sorts of things he didn't want to deal with, and so it was easier to hide them away. He didn't want to talk about that man.]

But... Thank you.

[darkremnants]

Don't thank me. You might regret showing me.

[ He did show him quite a bit. Also that's enough warm and fuzzy so he's getting up and walking over to grab the bag of crackers. His now. ]

Have fun drying off, Kitten.

[scarsnstripes]

Eh...?

[Well, Vanitas also showed him quite a bit. He's confused for a moment, but then Vanitas is getting up and--]

Hey, give that back!!

[He's trying to haul himself out of the pool quick enough to chase after him, but he's probably not going to make it.]

[darkremnants]

[ bye. he's portaling away. ]
