Honey, I Love You!

[mermaidcursed]

WHO? Nene Yashiro and YOU!
WHAT? Nene decides to start a cute ice breaker game. 
WHEN? Early April, before the charity showcase starts filling up and WAY before either body shows up in the auditorium.

An hour after the last 'normal' student leaves, Nene Yashiro commandeers homeroom 1-B! Some preemptive notice has been given in that she's told people she both does and does not recognize, all from spring break, but there's also a sign taped to the doors inviting passersby inside to meet other transfers. 

If that doesn't interest your character, I'm sure someone else will happily drag them in anyways! Even if they don't want to partake in Nene's icebreaker game, they can still come by and be with the others, of course- and commentate. 

When people enter, they'll find desks pushed to the walls for the most part, but most of the chairs are arranged in a circle. There's a couple plates of sugar cookies and homemade donuts with a seran wrap cover to keep them safe (and a note encouraging people not to take too many), and on the blackboard in chalk it reads a game and a set of rules!

"Honey I Love You

An ice breaking game to make people smile! Whoever's it must stand in the center of the circle and pick a person! To start the round, they tell them "Honey, I love you, will you give me a smile?" and their chosen must respond "Honey, I love you, but I cannot smile" without smiling. If they succeed, the person in the middle has to try whatever they can to get them to smile. Once they do, they change places! 

RULES:

1. No touching anybody! No tickling or lifting or anything. (That's cheap, anyways.)

2. If you can't get someone to smile in 5 minutes, move on to someone else. 

3. Smiling or laughing is an automatic lose! Majority vote on what counts as a smile if it can actually be contested. 

4. don't be weird please

also please don't eat ALL the cookies or donuts they're for everyone

DEPUTIES
noah-kun
clamor-san" 

Nene seems rather pleased herself. Any volunteers on going first?

... Of course, eventually she'll have to set up the Naughty Corner for rule breakers, so in the corner, with a few desks turned around to make walls, is a  cardboard jailcell. Nene worked really, really hard on it, but she'd hidden it away initially out of naive optimism. There's also more in case she needs to separate people in the naughty corner. It has also been vandalized with GAY BABY JAIL, so there's that.


((OOC RULES

- Feel free to start your own rounds, of course! But if you want to wait until someone gets your character to smile to start your own round in a top level, that's also okay. Rounds can be either your character asking someone to smile or rebuffing a smile. 

- Characters who aren't playing the game are allowed to commentate! 

- Be fair about smiles, of course! 

- Again, this is BEFORE either body has been set out!!! Please keep that in mind. 

- Have fun owo ))

[ ROUND START !]

[mermaidcursed]

( nene's going to approach someone with a very sincere smile. )

Honey, I love you! Won't you give me a smile?

[trialbyliar]

[She probably thought Kokichi would be an easy target. I mean, he was so smiley when they met in the home ec room, right? So it's probably a tragic surprise that his expression is completely blank, save for an slightly arched eyebrow.]

Honey...

[The drama. He shakes his head and gives a theatrical sigh, crossing his arms.]

I love you, but I can't smile.

[mermaidcursed]

( oh my god. immediately she has to try to not giggle herself- she's going to be an easy win when she's in the circle, it's obvious- before pulling herself together. what's something that could make kokichi smile...? )

What do bees brush their hair with...? ( ... ) A honeycomb!

( she's so fucking earnest )

[trialbyliar]

[God, she is too sincere. The sad part is he would totally laugh at that for being stupidly funny in normal circumstances. But this is a game. No way can he go down that easily.

He pouts, but does not smile.]

What happened to loving me? I can't believe you're making jokes at a time like this...

gotta have some banter

[mermaidcursed]

But it's because I love you that I'm making jokes! All I want is for you to smile.

( oh man she's just rolling with his antics. )

[trialbyliar]

[Oh no, she's cute and fun.]

Didn't you know? I hate jokes and games. I can't believe someone who supposedly loves me so much knows me so little...!

I'm sorry

[silentabyss]

[Noah dies.

That's it. He's just dead.

It's a slow, painful death. It takes Noah about ten seconds until he's cherry-red and wide-eyed, mouth opening and closing like a dying fish, and then he...

He doesn't smile, but he buries his face in both hands, groaning into them. Not out of agony or dislike for Nene or anything like that, but because...

...because...

Cute.]

omg

[mermaidcursed]

( she. she wasn't expecting that. ... does. does this count as her win? )

Noah-kun?

[silentabyss]

[yeah he's red from ear to ear, don't worry about it, he's fine]

...Nene...

[and then he slouches forward in his seat, limp, dying... one hand slides to his side, and the other winds up over his mouth. blue eyes land on her. and then they dart to the ceiling because he fucking cannot.]

H...hold on. One sec. I have to... figure out how to make my vocal cords work again...

[but they're working just fine?????]

[mermaidcursed]

( okay this isn't technically smiling at all, so she'll allow it. linking her fingers together behind her back she simply waits. )

Okay... but are you alright?

[silentabyss]

[No.]

Yeah, I-I'm good.

[Help.

He's still bright red, but he uncovers his face. Will Noah live to see tomorrow, find out next time on Disney Channel. He clears his throat.]

H...honey, I—

[nope it's not happening. He folds his arms over his chest and stares directly at the floor.]

...I l-l-love you— [this game is hard] b...but I-I cannot s-smile...

...this game is h-hard.

[He's not smiling but he's definitely... a tomato.]

hewwo give me our protag too

[unsurely]

Ah...

[ It's Nene so he's not as uncomfortable as he could be... and he has been reading the rules so it's not like he didn't know what he's getting into, he just... didn't expect to get picked this soon. Mind is immediately blank of all the info he's been processing, thank you. ]

S-Sorry. One second.

[ His eyes dart to the board for the millionth time and he kind of just. Reads it from there. ]

Honey... I love you... but I cannot smile?

[ Why does he sound like he's not convinced what they're even doing. Shuichi please. ]

HONEY....

[mermaidcursed]

( maybe she should have picked a game that'd go easier on the other goths. it's hard being the sunshiney one.

now what could make saihara-kun smile...? )

You know.... It's hard to explain puns with kleptomaniacs. They always take things, literally.

( n e n e )

i needed u

[unsurely]

[ NENE........

Well. He should have kind of seen that one coming. He sort of just stands there and tries not to look unconvinced but he fails -- sorry, Nene, he wants to smile for you but this just... is certainly a method. If anything, he'd feel bad instead if he laughed right now. ]

That's... ah, a pretty common type of joke, right? You seem to know quite a few of them, Yashiro-san... Did you learn them just for the game?

[ Look, if he makes conversation with her it should feel a little less guilty, right? Plus, he's actually a bit curious if she really did put that much effort into it. ]

gasps

[mermaidcursed]

Ahh... no, I just. Really like puns! The cuter the better! But maybe I need to switch tactics.

( that honeycomb joke was GOLD, dang it! but of course she had to use it on ouma-kun... )

Well, if you think those are too common, I'll just have to come up with something else.

[dangertohands]

[.... Nene is going to get a rather confused look. He read the instructions, but he didn't think it was serious?]

What? Shouldn't you know someone longer before saying that?

[mermaidcursed]

... The game's started, already. ( omg ) So it's okay.

[dangertohands]

[....... When did it start???] It has?

[mermaidcursed]

Yes! ... Would you like me to come back in a couple minutes so you can prepare better?

[dangertohands]

That might help. [Maybe]

[rhymed]

[ big brother is here to bully ]

Honey, [ His voice is gentle, as it always is, but he keeps his lips perfectly poised in a straight line. He cants his head a little, perking a brow. ] I love you, but I can’t smile.

[mermaidcursed]

But you have the nicest smile in the school! Surely you can spare one for me?

[rhymed]

But I always give you a smile. Don’t you think it’s rather selfish to exploit that you’re the only one that I spoil so much?

[mermaidcursed]

I am selfish. ( and she just says it... ) I like getting your smiles because it makes me happy! Is that so wrong?

[rhymed]

You should reconsider your priorities.

[ He says, cutthroat. ]

You're going to make someone jealous for how much you love me, darling.
