AYTO | Happily Ever After
You are cordially invited to
HAPPILY EVER AFTER
for an interdimensional reunion.
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! )
mystic messenger spoilers
[Announcing this is the main reason Yoosung came to the reunion - he wants his friends to see him grow, and he is willing to be surrounded by happy couples in order to do so, no matter how much that pains him as a highly jealous individual.]
Rika wasn't dead, and she's not the person I thought she was. I won't stand in her shadow anymore.
no subject
To think her death was fabricated . . .
[It must have been grossly shocking for Yoosung, who so deeply loves the person he had thought she was. Cyrus reaches out to rest a hand on his shoulder.]
The future is bright when we unravel the secrets that elude us and arrive at our own answers. Still, I hope this truth has brought you even a small measure of peace.
no subject
Yes... it wasn't an easy thing to learn, but at least I don't have to keep agonizing over the blatant secrecy. And the RFA are supporting me now that they know everything too. So at least I don't feel as alone.
no subject
In his case, the faint curvature of his mouth is sincere—proud—in its quiet celebration of Yoosung's growth.]
A splendid answer. More hands lessen the load. The more peers we have at our sides, the more effective we become at the task at hand.
And so, what do you intend to do now that you know of the truth?
no subject
Huh, really? [ Thinks about this for like, a full second which is testament to their relationship that he holds the thought this long. ]
That sucks, but you're better off without her anyway. And now you won't keep idealizing her as your beau, right?
[ The blithe optimism. Slaps Yoosung on the back cheerfully! ]
no subject
Now he is screaming internally because Ash cleans up really well in a suit, he looks so fucking cute!! It's all good though he is slapped out of it.]
Y-yeah! That's exactly what I mean. [He sighs a bit then.] I have to re-evaluate my entire tastes.... but!! I like to think I'm growing up more now.
no subject
It's good to hear your resolve...I wonder what other goals you have in your mind upon receiving this forbidden knowledge.
[ Someone hasn't changed, lmao. ]
