AYTO | Happily Ever After

[igiko]

You are cordially invited to
HAPPILY EVER AFTER
for an interdimensional reunion.

The scene is a sprawling garden in an undisclosed dimension. Peach- and white-colored decorations dot the grounds from the outdoor furnishing to decorative balloons that highlight the block letters spelling out HAPPILY EVER AFTER in the center. Music plays in the background, gently in volume so as not to disrupt socialization, while strings of light hang from the arbors, trees, and tents that glow warmly once the sun dips into evening.

Surely you'll be wanting to meet all the former contestants present, whether they came alone or as half (or third) of a pair. Low tables with heart-shaped cushions have been arranged at the heart of the garden for socializing with a small twist: seats have been assigned via name cards, and each table houses at least one former contestant from each round to encourage mingling between seasons. Once you settle down, you'll notice another card on the center of the table that reads: INTRODUCE YOUR CASTMATE (OR YOURSELF IN THE ABSENCE OF ONE). How's that for an icebreaker? Overseers, in their infinite power, have the privilege of sitting anywhere. Make friends and merry as you partake of the catered food and drinks, of which alcoholic beverages will be served only to those of age.

Once the introductory meal has concluded, former contestants are herded over to tents with cozy furnishing in which to lay and spend time with loved ones and old friends. That's right—the tents are designated by seasons for some catching up between castmates. There's another card here that encourages everyone to SHARE ONE THING THAT'S CHANGED SINCE YOUR APPEARANCE ON THE SHOW. After this, you're free to visit other tents and mingle to your heart's content.

A stack of cards atop a garden stool on a modest stage contains the names of every perfect match to date. For what? Why, to play charades! You must play out the perfect match listed on the card you draw with your match while the rest of the former contestants take a guess. If half of a match declines to participate or isn't in attendance, another former contestant or an Overseer is welcome to fill in. What if you didn't watch the other rounds? Well, then it's time to make educated guesses, isn't it? (Cards are drawn at random in character, but can be decided between players or via wheel).

Dinner ushers in an evening of romance. Bistro lights illuminate the garden, and the stage is cleared for dancing the night away. Of course, you're free to do whatsoever your heart desires if you've something else in mind. This particular corner of the world is, at least for today, your very own oyster.

( ooc: This is a reunion log for all game rounds of AYTO to date. All characters, including Overseers, are welcome to participate. As the passage of time can vary between dimensions, the answer to the question of "how long after X round is this reunion?" also depends on the characters. I'm watching you, Minato and Kotone. Feel free to handwave seating assignments and add in whatever you fancy to the setting, and do check back periodically as there is no all-inclusive channel to post new top-levels. Last but not least, have fun! )

[ you really made the bad decision of making rutile have to introduce roka, rng? because of course he jumps on this, sparkling as he all but will smith poses in roka's direction.

but mostly it's a glance towards roka, and then a tiny smile to himself, as he begins with a clap: ]

Hello everyone! This is Roka, and I'm Rut— ah, that's not my task. Anyway, we're from season two, the Christmas special. Hohoho!

[ help ]

Let's see... What can I say about Roka? Lots of things! As you can see from just a quick glance, he's very beautiful! Look at the lovely shade of his hair, and his elegant, refined look that softens up very nicely when he gives you a smile... fufu, you'll really feel quite blessed if you see it, I guarantee it.

[ HELP ]

Beyond that, though... he's one of the kindest people you'll ever meet. He's lovely and strong, like a flower! Always very willing to help, but also to be there for you, no matter what happens. I— hmmm, I don't want to tell you too much about him, because I'd rather you find things out from talking to him yourself, but... I'm very lucky to have met him, and I'm sure you'll all feel the same after speaking with him. He's touched my heart in so many ways... Please get to know him during this reunion, so he can do the same to you.

[ HEEEELLLPPPPPP

the way rutile looks like he wants to keep this shameless babbling going but he'll stop there, with another glance and smile to roka. ]

[chintamani]

[ Why this! Roka would curse the Gods if he understood the concept and wasn't a God himself. OK no, he wouldn't. But he's doing the opposite of smiling here, he's pouting. Pouting and blushing in that way that only Rutile can draw out of him. ]

...this is Rutile. He's more beautiful and dazzling than me, like the sun. He'll make you turn red like the sun too. And he talks a lot, but he means everything he says even if it sounds dumb.

[ The dumb is tremendously fond. And the entirety of it is just what tsun he has left in him, please save him. ]
