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 ))

( this comes off as natural as it can be, but that's because he has no shame in the matter of who he's asking. )

Honey, I love you. ( he pauses, thinking about it. ) Won't you let them see you smile?

[contrarily]

Ewww, I'm not saying that back to you.

( BLEH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

anyway. )

But I'm not smiling either, so dance like a jester!

[commences]

Now now, you're playing the game wrong.

( even he knows the rules! get it together rika, don't let komaeda show you up! )

You have to say it properly, I know it's not that hard.

[contrarily]

I'll die if I say it.

[commences]

Oh? Then you'll leave this place quicker than the rest of us honey, so let them see you smile!

[mermaidcursed]

Honey, I love you but I cannot smile.

( she even sounds sad about it! )

[commences]

That's a problem, if you don't smile, it'll break my heart.

( he pauses, looking to the side. )

That's what has kept me going so far anyway..

[mermaidcursed]

I'm sorry, Komaeda-san, but I don't know how.

( she cannot smile.... she does not know how.... it's so tragic. )

[commences]

( damn even FAKING doesn't work. maybe that really does only work on hinata.

of course, he switches gears from that to a smile of his own. )

Hm.. hm..

( let him walk over to nene, but he keeps his distance because he knows touching isn't part of the game. )

Thank you, Yashiro-san.

[taketori]

[ He lets the moment linger a bit, and then. ]

Uh... sorry. For some reason, it feels a little creepy coming from you.

[ ??? Let 'them' see you smile? Also, why's he so calm about it? ]

[commences]

That's not how you play the game!

( you know... againx2 he wantsto do this... )

Is it that you're nervous? There's no need to be with me.

[taketori]

N-No, sorry, it's not that. I'm just surprised at how comfortable you are with saying that, is all.

[ Well, okay. He has to respond in kind... ]

Hon...honey, I l... lo--

[ WHY IS THIS DIFFICULT?? ]

[commences]

I'm comfortable because I love the hope you all have!

( that doesn't sound weird at all, especially with how honest he sounds about it. but what does that mean, well, komaeda's not going to explain that just yet. either way, his pale green eyes lock onto shirogane's lips, watching him struggle saying the game's name. )

You can do it, honey.

( at least he's encouraging. placing a hand to his chest as he chuckles softly. )

What is it you want to say to me? ( he gasps, wait.. can it be? ) Don't tell me I'm not your type anymore.

[unsurely]

Th-Them...?

[ wait a minute. why isn't anyone else questioning the way komaeda asks?? ]

Komaeda-kun... I think you've got this a little...

[ um. ]

[commences]

Isn't this about seeing others smile, so do your best Saihara-kun. They're waiting.

( he's quite aware.. you know, everyone else didn't pay attention to what he says. )

Even an Ultimate Detective like you can figure this one out.

[unsurely]

[ "even?" what does that even mean? if they have to be bringing up his talent again, then shouldn't it be kind of expected of him to figure it out? but komaeda's wording feels almost like... the reverse. ]

Ah, well... the game is about that, but...

[ there's really no way to be wording this but outright. ]

Only two people are actually playing each round. It's not the whole group.

[commences]

It's not just between us.

( he says this pretty easily, almost like it's a known fact. )

Because of who you are, the entire group should see how wonderful your smile is.

( wait... he's onto something. his explanation might not be correct, but you never know it could work out in his favor. )

If it makes my heart skip a beat, surely theirs will too. The results? It'll help them move forward, because why wouldn't an Ultimate have that effect on them?

[mermaidcursed]

( shes used to his nonsense already... though. not used to his crazy yet. in due time. )

[unsurely]

( please don't get used to it... nene no, we can't lose you too. )

[mermaidcursed]

( sources say she'll be gettin sick of that shit soon enough, don't worry. )

[englisch]

Dummmy, I love you, but I cannot smile !!!! [ She looks at him angy. She may at this point have started to have some memories, but as far as she is concerned. This was one of her closet friends!! ]

[commences]

( yes, there's something between them, and he can't deny that. though, the thing about those memories is that he can do something pretty simple and possibly win? who knows. )

You can't? Are you really going to hide that nya—mber one winning smile from purr ol' me?

[englisch]

[ OH NO! She covers her own mouth and glares at him - shes trying very hard to look SO ANGRY AND NOT HAPPY!!! She parts her hand a little enough so she can speak. ] Nya'nt knyaw whot nyau talking abo- at!

[angelindisguise]

[Angel goes ahead and plays along.]

Honey, I love you, but I cannot smile.

[commences]

Honey, that's really sad.

( he sighs, though there's a smile on his face as he doesn't mind this at all. )

I'd carry you in my arms every day so that people would see you smile.
