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 )) 

Comments

he lost bc a Certain Girl is Cute so it's his turn now

[silentabyss]

[Honestly he's too awkward to be playing a game like this but it sounded fun on the tin, so... Noah kind of just... ambles up to someone and squeaks out,]

H-honey, I... uh... love you, w-will you give me a smile?

[This is so embarrassing someone kill him]

[sunstead]

[this is the price he pays for lingering around to tease noah, help he doesn't have the context he's just gonna have a mini heartattack]

N-noah? What are you doing? [this is some kind of game? why is it so cute??

also he already lost. amazing. he's doing the speedrun just try and beat his record]

[mermaidcursed]

( WAVING AND POINTING TO THE BOARD... )

[sunstead]

[:)?

he gives her a little wave back]

[silentabyss]

It's— it's j-just a game we're playing, that's all! H-honestly, why'd you walk in here without knowing wh-what we were doing?!

[NOW he's mega-embarrassed! Thanks!]

[sunstead]

[oh noooooooooo he's even cuter now this is amazing]

I just happened to be passing by... but Noah, I had no idea you were into games like these! I'm glad you're not letting that rebellious teen attitude of yours keep you from having fun.

[and before he can be stopped he's gonna ruffle noah's hair

adorable. a good day to have hands.]

[silentabyss]

[Noah's brain simply says "aaadhfasdfkljdsfk" in response to that. Thanks, you broke him. The head-pat does make him obnoxiously happy, though.]

W-well! Y-you already lost the game, stupid...! [oh now we're moving to insults?] If you smile, you lose! S-so!

[sunstead]

Oh? Is that how it works?

[he's definitely way too old for this and would probably just laugh and decline if it were anyone else... but hmm. noah did make the mistake of coming to him, the guy who has spent an entire year without a face. he would be killing it at this game if he were still a sickle.]

... It's not really fair if I don't know the rules yet. Alright, why don't you start again?

[silentabyss]

[That's the worst possible outcome! But to avoid having to repeat this a third time, Noah points to the rules behind Clamor because to be frank, he can only take so much of this before embarrassment causes a full 404 error. And then... and then, he tries again, God help him.

Are his arms crossed? Yes, yes they are. Is he pouting? You bet.]

H...honey, I l-love you, w-will you give me a smile?

[kill him]

[sunstead]

Honey, I love you, but I cannot smile.

[this time....... he is prepared and taking this 200% too seriously

but also, finally, a use for that resting icy stare of his.]

i'm tearing up

[unsurely]

Wha--!? N-Noah-kun?

[ HE DIDN'T EXPECT IT TO BE LIKE THAT noah please you sound like you're dying ]

Ah... Are you alright?

[ He's gonna ask that first before he tries to play because he feels kind of bad for Noah's state. Relatable. Does he... uh, need a minute? ]

narrator: noah was dying

[silentabyss]

[He is dying. This is what happens when the shy kid plays games for not-shy kids!]

I-I'm fine. This game is just... hard, is all. Uh... th...thanks, though.

[It's only hard if you're an emotionally stunted child. Don't worry about it.]

time to pick on noah more

[mermaidcursed]

( SEVERAL ROUNDS DOWN THE LINE... it all comes full circle. )

Honey, I love you, but I cannot smile.

well he's perished

[silentabyss]

[Haha oh boy not A SECOND ITERATION OF THIS. He was embarrassed before and now he's mega-embarrassed. Mega-dying. Mega...uh... well... he's forgotten words now. The point is he's bright red again.]

Ah, c-come on! I'm not as funny as you are...

[Good news, he's not hiding this time! That might change soon.]

I don't tell jokes as well as you do. [Compliments are the strategy now, it seems.]

he'll have a chance for revenge. uwu

[mermaidcursed]

Surely you have something up your sleeve.

( here's a hint noah, compliments are in fact a good track. she just didn't register this one as such- )

[silentabyss]

[Does he...

...yeah. He does. Okay.]

W-well, okay... it's not a joke, I'm being serious, s-so... [Will Noah Ebalon ever not be blushing? The answer may shock you.] You're... uh... really pretty.

[mermaidcursed]

( huh?

...


........?!?!?!?!

even as the shocked o u o lingers, her cheeks are slowly growing redder........... )

[silentabyss]

[Cue the entire class groaning in agony because wow these two.]

I-it's true! [He's not even paying attention to her expression. The o u o doesn't register.] Y-you're just... nice, too. I like... u-uh, hanging out with you.

[mermaidcursed]

O-Oh.... U-m-

( that face?? getting redder. )

T-Thank you- I like hanging out with you too... a-and, hey, um, your round's over!!!

[commences]

I can't hear you.. can you say that again?

( :) )

[silentabyss]

[this motherfucker.

Well, whatever, it's just a game, and maybe this will get it through Komaeda's head that people like him? And don't want him to die? And all that shit they talked about, listen, it's fine, Noah's gonna... try...]

Honey, [the absolute sass coming from this smallfry right now,] I LOVE you, will you PLEASE give me a smile?

[Amazing how the stuttering just dies the second he has to yell.]

[commences]

( you know, he's paying attention to something else. sure, he should keep his focus on noah, but there's something about this game that makes him second guess, a lot. such kind words written off to one another, and that's because they have trust — not only that, hope.

that's when noah yells at him!!! and komaeda looks over in his direction!! fake it until you make it. )

Haha, forgive me, I wasn't listening. What did you want from me?

( yes, he's doing this on purpose! )

[silentabyss]

Are you even playing the game?!

[You're not getting another one out of him, nuh-uh! You get TWO. You get TWO love. That's all Noah has to give for the next thirty seconds at least.]

[commences]

It feels like you're playing with my heart, you won't even say it again.

( a sad sigh. )

You know as they say.. third time's the charm.

[silentabyss]

[...okay FINE you get THREE.]

Komaeda, I love you, will you please give me a smile?

[It's personalized now, just for you!]
