My Self-Summary

I'm Senku Ishigami.

My Future Plans

I want to find out as much as I can about the resort and how we got here. If there's a way back home, I was in the middle of some pretty important things when they brought me here.

Since it looks like we're stuck here for a while, I also want to explore Game 52. Hit me up if you want to help me experiment.


My Talents

I'm a scientist.


Favorite Books, Movies, Music, and Food

My favorite book is whatever is most useful to me right now. My favorite food is ramen. I don't have any particular favorites for the other two.


My Ideal Partner

I'd like a mutually beneficial relationship.

I'm fairly certain you didn't fill out that post on the network yourself, unless you're in the habit of sounding extremely unflattering, but I gotta ask anyway: sex research? Really?
abyssmade: (051)

[personal profile] abyssmade 2024-01-13 01:43 am (UTC)(link)
[ Good thing this is text since Childe bursts into laughter at that first sentence. ]

You wrote it? You know the point is to build yourself up, right?

[ SENKU PLS ]

Huh. That sounds kinda like a challenge. I hadn't really thought about it that far. I just figured I'll win the game and that'll be that. Could be fun to test the limits, though!

As for the toys thing, nothing like first-hand experience. Isn't that how experiments work? Trying it on someone? Or yourself, I guess, though that probably doesn't satisfy game conditions unless someone's watching.
abyssmade: (016)

[personal profile] abyssmade 2024-01-15 04:20 am (UTC)(link)
There's a such thing as being TOO honest is all I'm saying. I don't like lying either, but there's sort of an art to games like that one.

Anyway, you're onto something. Personally I think having sex with other people is more fun, but I'm willing to play along to see where the boundaries are. I got a game to win, after all, so any way I can do it, I will.
abyssmade: (008)

[personal profile] abyssmade 2024-01-16 07:17 pm (UTC)(link)
Haha, sure. I'm in. I'm the Jack of Spades, [room number].

You want a picture or something to make sure I keep my end of the deal, or do you trust me? ;)


[ ooc: Do we have ooc info on whether this actually counts? I'm guessing the answer is no lol ]
abyssmade: (014)

[personal profile] abyssmade 2024-01-16 09:52 pm (UTC)(link)
Will do, then. Try to have a little creativity with what you pick, ok? ;)

[ ooc: LEGIT let me know what they say! I love Senku so I'm very interested to hear about his experiments lol ]
abyssmade: (090)

nsfw (picture link is sfw); I didn't write out the whole scene since this one won't count

[personal profile] abyssmade 2024-01-19 07:31 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Well, that was fast! Childe isn't really expecting anything this soon, and he's not sure he's expecting much. Senku did say he was a virgin, after all. That doesn't mean he doesn't know anything about toys, though, so who knows what he'll come up with.

He goes to answer the door a little after the knock, but Senku is gone by then. Huh, weird. But…oh, the box. He opens it and actually laughs. It's not a bad pick, but it's so weird looking. Oh well.

He has some other things to take care of and gets that out of the way before arranging himself on the chaise lounge with the toy.

He takes a picture after he gets going, though his face isn't in it. It's just that kind of dick pic selfie! Though obviously his dick isn't exactly visible.

When he's done with the toy, he sends the picture and the following message:
]

Did you know this thing makes SOUNDS? Actually, the sounds are kind of a turn-off, but it feels amazing. Thx Senku. Let me know if this qualifies under house rules ;)
abyssmade: (008)

we have to get someone to have a clothing explosion like kaseki just ONCE in this place

[personal profile] abyssmade 2024-01-20 01:22 am (UTC)(link)
Nope. Looks like this experiment was a bust. Well, for you, anyway.

Oh, wonder no more. I got you.

[ He switches his message to audio long enough to play some of the sounds. Senku's pretty much right on the money. The sounds are mixed with Childe's laughter.

Might as well stay audio, since it's on now.
]

I couldn't take that seriously at all! I turned that feature off. Otherwise, good choice of toy. So. What's your next experiment, Mr. Scientist?
abyssmade: (078)

[personal profile] abyssmade 2024-01-20 05:14 am (UTC)(link)
[ Childe is still clearly amused. Who wouldn't be, though? ]

Oh, you think an encounter that goes wrong might not count? Hm. Well…I prefer when things go right, but you tell me what the results are. Just for fun.

[ He considers for a minute. ]

You mean where we talk to each other but don't see anything? Hm...

[ They don't have phones where he comes from, so that kind of thing isn't an option. He actually hadn't even thought of it much until right now. Someone's voice in your ear while you mess around might be kind of hot. He's such a tactile person, though. ]

That depends on how good an imagination you have, I guess. You think you'd be totally unaffected either way? Easier to keep your distance without a visual. But I don't think you could actually ignore me in the same room.

[ Sure, asexuality is a thing and he can recognise that, but he's also a show off and likes attention. Who couldn't ignore who in that situation? ]
abyssmade: (088)

[personal profile] abyssmade 2024-01-26 06:13 pm (UTC)(link)
[ He laughs. ]

Unfortunately for you, I love challenges. I won't give up on distracting you.

That said, guess I'd prefer the same room option. See how your scary good focus bears up to my determination.

[ Childe isn't overly full of himself about his sexual prowess or anything like that, but someone saying they could ignore him getting off right there? Of course he wants to prove that wrong. ]
abyssmade: (083)

[personal profile] abyssmade 2024-02-05 07:16 pm (UTC)(link)
[ He laughs. ]

Oh, no. I'll pick the toy this time. Wouldn't wanna get bored with just one thing, after all.

[ He has other ideas, something that might be more distracting for Senku trying to ignore him. ]

[ ooc: lmk if you want to do this or wait a bit or whatever! ]
abyssmade: (012)

[personal profile] abyssmade 2024-02-21 11:42 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Childe texts Senku sometime later in February because it took me 100 years and just asks: ]

You busy? If not, I don't have anything going on. We could try that experiment of yours.
abyssmade: (014)

[personal profile] abyssmade 2024-02-22 11:01 pm (UTC)(link)
I assume you remember where my room is, right? Come see me.
abyssmade: (074)

[personal profile] abyssmade 2024-02-26 08:51 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Childe is ready when Senku comes to his suite. The suite is ridiculously over the top, with a minibar and plush couches. There's a little swimming pool out on a balcony, and two bedrooms down the hall, as well as an oversized bathroom — jacuzzi tub and heated floor, all of that.

Childe himself is wearing what he generally does, just dark trousers and a red shirt. He has his shirt all the way open, showing both his sign mark in blue on the right side of his torso, and several scars. Some are worse than others, but it's probably obvious that he's been in plenty of fights. His

He knows what Senku looks like from the network post, but he looks for a long moment anyway, wondering a little at the marks on his face. Scars, maybe? But from what?
]

You're shorter than I thought you'd be. But please, come in! You want a drink or anything?

[ He slides out of the doorway, leaving Senku room to come into the room. ]

[personal profile] apothecrazy 2024-03-03 12:13 am (UTC)(link)
Out of curiosity, have you eaten at many of the restaurants?
apothecrazy: (52)

[personal profile] apothecrazy 2024-03-03 05:48 am (UTC)(link)
I see. I was hoping you'd have some suggestions.
I've only enjoyed meals from the Red Cardinal but wanted to try something new.

I am.
apothecrazy: (99)

[personal profile] apothecrazy 2024-03-05 02:20 am (UTC)(link)
We could try one of those places but I must admit there's something fun about potentially drugged food.

I've never been on a date either.
apothecrazy: (101)

[personal profile] apothecrazy 2024-03-05 04:14 am (UTC)(link)
Is that something men are supposed to do?

[ Dating isn't a thing in her time. Marriages are usually arranged by fathers or, if one is lucky, a man takes an interest and outright proposes. ]

I would be disappointed if it's only in your food.

[ Yes, she is strange enough to want to be drugged or poisoned. ]

In any case, shall we give the Gilded Cage a try?
apothecrazy: (16)

[personal profile] apothecrazy 2024-03-05 06:20 am (UTC)(link)
I see.

Excellent. I'll meet you there around seven.


[ That gives them a few hours to do whatever before meeting up. Maomao, is going to try to mix up new aphro antidote to try out. ]
apothecrazy: (78)

[personal profile] apothecrazy 2024-03-10 03:31 am (UTC)(link)
[ She's there at roughly the same time, maybe slightly later as she can be easily distracted.

She hasn't bothered to dress any differently than normal. Her clothing is plain, somewhat baggy with a long skirt that nearly reaches the floor, and overall very comfortable but probably not easily accessible for certain situations.

She gives a little bow as a greeting before shooting him a little grin.
]

Are you ready to try the food?
apothecrazy: (99)

[personal profile] apothecrazy 2024-03-10 07:37 am (UTC)(link)
I just want to see if I can detect it or not. The stuff I've played with has been relatively odorless and tasteless.

[ Given their somewhat lower rank it takes a moment before they're noticed and guided to a seat. They're given menus and left while the server goes to do whatever while they try to decide what they want to order. ]

Ah... A shame trying a little of everything isn't an option. [ She doesn't have near enough chips for that. ]
apothecrazy: (66)

[personal profile] apothecrazy 2024-03-10 08:03 am (UTC)(link)
[ Subjects like this is one of the few times she's actually animated and doesn't sound or look like she's bored. ]

Do you remember that person called 'J'? Apparently, they were behind giving out gifts when we arrived and they gave me some mysterious white powders and needles. After some experimentation I found out the powders were mostly aphrodisiacs and that they could be created from some of the flowers found in the gardens.

And since then I've been trying to come up with a counteractive.

[ And thus she's played with them. ]

Hmm... [ He has good ideas on both accounts, but it's difficult to choose. ] Why not both? I'll order something expensive and you get a lot of little things? We can share from there.
apothecrazy: (60)

[personal profile] apothecrazy 2024-03-10 09:16 am (UTC)(link)
It seems quite a few people received gifts, though many also received letters or nothing at all.

[ Or so they had claimed. ]

I would imagine the drinks could also be drugged. If they can put it anything, they will.

[ In her experience, aphrodisiacs were often mixed with alcohol. After all, alcohol lowers one's inhibitions, what better compliment to the drug than that? Though, too much could work as a counteractive if only because one might be too drunk to act upon their sexual desires. ]
apothecrazy: (17)

[personal profile] apothecrazy 2024-03-13 10:53 am (UTC)(link)
Let's both get a drink.

[ She likes alcohol and wants to try a few of the drinks.

She orders a drink for herself, something that isn't supposed to be sweet but claims to be spicy, how interesting! Along with that, she goes for one of the larger and more expensive dishes, something that looks like it has enough for the two of them to share.
]

I suppose start with how it began?
apothecrazy: (61)

[personal profile] apothecrazy 2024-03-14 02:12 pm (UTC)(link)
Why sparrows?

[ She supposes they are small common birds, but why them and not insects or some other breed of bird? ]
apothecrazy: (72)

[personal profile] apothecrazy 2024-03-17 08:00 pm (UTC)(link)
That makes sense. [ However, the choice of a bird over any number of other animals is curious. Maybe it's because they're a rather common bird?

Maomao takes a sip of her drink if only to give it a taste. It certainly lives up to the claim though she does note some sweetness to it. Could it be the aphrodisiac or just a bit of sweetness to counter the spice? Only time will tell.
]

I see. So how were you released from your stone prison?
apothecrazy: (17)

[personal profile] apothecrazy 2024-03-20 11:00 pm (UTC)(link)
I think you were lucky not to lose a limb to hitting a rock or something of that manner. [ Though from the way he talks, the stone wasn't solid, but rather a cocoon that enveloped the victim. ]

You were conscious for nearly four thousand years? [ She's not sure which is more difficult to believe, that he was conscious for that long while turned to stone or that somehow the stone kept him nourished. Her brow furrows as she turns that information over in her head.

The nitric acid makes sense for releasing one from a stone cocoon.
]

If the acid wasn't enough to release others, what else did you do?
apothecrazy: (30)

[personal profile] apothecrazy 2024-03-21 10:02 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Her drink is all but forgotten about while he tells his story. With this new information, she's even more confused. She thought this was just a cacoon of stone but now he makes it sound like they were solid stone. ]

I need some clarification here, everyone turned to stone, were they solid stone all the way through or something akin to a cocoon?
apothecrazy: (80)

[personal profile] apothecrazy 2024-03-22 02:19 am (UTC)(link)
I see. So you were in something of a cocoon but others were solid stone. [ That makes more sense to her. ] However, if the depetrification works from the inside out, how is that the concoction worked?

[ When he offers the drink she takes it, sniffing it first before taking a sip. It's too sweet for her but there is something else there. Something that instantly leaves her mouth drier than before. She makes a soft 'huh' and passes the drink back before taking a drink of her own. It's far from quenching but it doesn't leave the same dryness behind. ]

Would you like a sip of mine?
apothecrazy: (87)

[personal profile] apothecrazy 2024-03-23 05:39 pm (UTC)(link)
I see. [ She has a hard time imagining how that would work, but it makes sense somehow. ]

In all likelihood, they use the game aphrodisiacs in everything they put them in. While there are a few different types with varying strengths, I don't see why they'd use something different in every drink.

Now the food, on the other hand, might have something different in it if they spike it.
apothecrazy: (71)

[personal profile] apothecrazy 2024-03-31 04:17 am (UTC)(link)
[ She watches him drink, waiting for any kind of reaction from the spicy drink. Even if her drink isn't drugged, the spice mixed with alcohol alone should be enough to get one's blood pumping. ]

It did dry out my mouth a little, I can't say if that's due to the alcohol choice or some sort of other drug. [ Because alcohol is a drug, after all. ]

Not that I could detect, but I've found the aphrodisiacs I've been playing with can be difficult to detect. They seem to be odorless, or nearly so, and the sweet flavor is so subtle it can be easily covered up.
apothecrazy: (60)

[personal profile] apothecrazy 2024-04-06 10:19 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Maomao lets out a soft sound of amusement. ]

It is good for that, I would like to know the recipe so I can make it for myself. [ She's made a similar drink in the past. She gave it to Jinshi to help roughen his voice for a disguise. Although, that drink had been much spicier.

She's not surprised by the lack of reaction from the server. She's certain they're used to such talk and likely more.
]

Those look good.
apothecrazy: (71)

[personal profile] apothecrazy 2024-04-09 05:44 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Maomao hums at that. It wouldn't surprise her if they went that route. ]

Thank you. [ She takes one of the sausage rolls as well and bites into it without a second thought. She thoughtfully hums as she chews. The dough is rather bland but the saltiness of the sausage certainly makes up for it. ] Not bad. [ She decides. ]
apothecrazy: (71)

[personal profile] apothecrazy 2024-04-11 11:39 am (UTC)(link)
Nothing from your drink just yet? [ She knows it can take up to thirty minutes for the aphrodisiacs to take effect for some people. In her experience, even a sip should be enough to feel a little something once it hits.

Speaking of, she takes a drink before taking up one of the croquettes. Yet more food she's only come to know since arriving here as potato isn't a common ingredient back home.
]

They certainly made some choices with the food shapes. [ It's almost laughable. ]
apothecrazy: (16)

[personal profile] apothecrazy 2024-04-13 05:36 pm (UTC)(link)
Certainly not.

[ The immaturity is slightly amusing, at best he gets a smile out of her. ]

It would be better to wait until you're sure. And I should warn you, [ because she can't remember if she did before, ] there is the possibility of it not work. In fact, it might make things worse.

[ And, oh look, her food has arrived. It's a large pasta dish with calamari in a creamy sauce, topped off with a few slices of truffle. At least two of the foods would be considered a natural aphrodisiac by some, but the question is do they add anything more? ]

So tell me about the device. [ She says as she works at dishing out a sizable portion for him. ]
apothecrazy: (4)

[personal profile] apothecrazy 2024-04-19 12:04 am (UTC)(link)
[ She's glad he gets it, though she didn't expect anything less from another science-minded individual. ]

A warning is only fair. [ She hadn't expected her first test to go the way it had. She hadn't expected it to work, true, but to boost the aphrodisiac's effects to such a point hadn't been expected. ]

Strange. [ A remark at the devices shape. ]

I'm not familiar with such a mythical creature, no. I don't think we have any such stories where I'm from.

[ Her father had told her some stories that he heard or read while he was in the West, but never anything like that. ]
apothecrazy: (32)

[personal profile] apothecrazy 2024-04-23 05:21 am (UTC)(link)
I see.

[ Prior to her arrival here she would have needed an explanation of what exactly circuitry is, but she's since learned a bit more about those kinds of things. ]

That sounds useful. Do you think her snakes were poisonous? [ Of course, her thoughts go there. ]

How did it do it?
apothecrazy: (4)

[personal profile] apothecrazy 2024-04-24 10:02 pm (UTC)(link)
I see.

[ The mention of another language causes her to pause. While she found it odd before that everyone could understand one another, it really seemed to sink in at that moment. How does that all work? ]

What language is English? As in the origin. [ She only knows Linese, a smattering of the neighboring dialects, and a little of a language from the West. She wouldn't be able to say which one unless she saw it written or heard someone speak it, however. ]
apothecrazy: (89)

[personal profile] apothecrazy 2024-04-27 08:56 am (UTC)(link)
I see.

[ As places go by different names in her world she can't even begin to place where the places he mentions might be on a map. ]

Linese. However, I've been informed by a few people that where I came from would be considered China in their world.

[ The conversation is a nice distraction but she can't help but notice something of a familiar heat slowly building in her. ]
apothecrazy: (102)

[personal profile] apothecrazy 2024-05-05 04:38 am (UTC)(link)
Li is the name of the country I'm from. [ She corrects. ]

I don't know. Maps aren't something that are readily available to everyone. [ And it's not like she bothered to look at them while she might have had access while in the Palace. ]

All I know is to the west the land turns arid and the summers are long and dry, and, to the north, it's mountainous and colder.

That's true, although it may have been stranger had no one contacted you. There are all types of people here, after all. So maybe Dr. Baizhu's suggestion was on point. It's typical in Liyue to use bulletin boards, however, the sort of messages found on them aren't always requests.
rainswords: ᴄʀᴇᴅɪᴛ — ʀᴀɪɴsᴡᴏʀᴅs (pic#16474436)

[personal profile] rainswords 2024-04-17 01:27 am (UTC)(link)
Consider making your next announcement on the bulletin board larger than your previous one. A size that would make it impossible to miss. Or I suppose you could go another route. You could cater to the resort's guests. Not that I recommend that option.

Let me think, in Liyue Harbor, there are various announcements. Actually, I believe I once read a post made by Doctor Baizhu relating to Qiqi, asking residents not to be alarmed by her presence. But there are announcements, like when Ms. Yun will be performing. Other than that it's mostly ads from various shops or civil affairs or warnings from the Millelith.

[personal profile] rainswords 2024-04-17 06:02 pm (UTC)(link)
Something like that? It wouldn't concern you that someone may steal it for inappropriate purposes. Some long-time guests are questionable at best, but you probably noticed since we arrived here.

It wasn't all entirely vague. Very well, let me provide context to everything. Ms. Yun Jin is the director of the Yun-Han Opera Troupe. Not only does she perform but she is also a talented playwright in her own right. As for the Millelith, you're spot on. They serve as guards throughout Liyue patrolling the lands under the Liyue Qixing. I've heard they've done all types of work: from reconnaissance to undercover missions and naturally, apprehending criminals. Now regarding Qiqi, I suppose due to her appearance, letting people know would help avoid alarm if they see her wandering at night.

Even if that piece of cardboard were to bear your likeness. Many would mistake that for confidence, but I suppose there are worse things here. Now about those dolls, perhaps rather than a life-size cardboard cutout...

Qiqi's appearance? When I was a child she was just a little smaller in height. Now, after some years, everything around her has changed and she remains the same. Wouldn't it alarm you to see a child wandering around at night?

That won't be enough! To achieve your likeness you'll have to create a new face for the doll and dress it according to your style. Although, I suppose for its purpose that last part isn't entirely necessary.

And that reminds me, I haven't spoken with Dr. Baizhu in some time. Have you seen him of late Mr.Ishigami?


[ That is one big misunderstanding that Xingqiu decides not to clear up. Well, Baizhu himself can set the record straight. Besides, it is much more amusing this way. ]

I agree with you regarding that aspect, although your boldness shouldn't surprise me. In any case, do you require assistance in remodeling a doll?

Don't they say no news is good news? However, I might pay him a visit soon.

In that case let me be honest. If I were seeking the comfort of privacy that comes with the luxuries you were afforded, I would have opened up with that. My offer was made more out of curiosity. I wanted to know just how far you wanted to take this.

Although now that you mentioned it. I'll be coming over, of course, to use the bathroom in your suite. Thank you for the invitation.

And you may be right about Dr. Baizhu. Doing medical things in medical ways.


[ He definitely really should look into whatever the doctor is up to. ]

( ooc: he was going to show him a room only he has access to. inside there are: several tomes, dusty with age, and including several old maps of the resort. these maps are rather strange, showing that the layout of the resort has changed drastically over the years.

the tomes are likewise interesting because they are not regular tomes. they are journals of the thoughts of former guests of the resort. these journals do not provide any real information but do suggest that the existence of the resort goes far, far back.


from what i gleaned is that the journals tend to be fairly normal until people either stop writing cause they're busy. or they write about being busy like the resort wants them to be. some are kinda unhinged. )

Oh ~~~Senku-kun~~~! ✨✨✨

I have some news I want to discuss. Unfortunately it's not exactly good news. You might already be aware, but if not, I thought you should be first to know. And even if you are aware, I wanted to discuss it anyway.

Is over text OK? Or would you prefer to meet in-person?
tfy: (pic#16538154)

[personal profile] tfy 2024-05-26 05:39 pm (UTC)(link)
Alright, here goes!

[And now for the moment of truth!

... honestly, the reason he asked about meeting in-person is because he wasn't sure the House wants this info getting out. But given that their verbal conversations are probably also being spied on, does it make a difference? At least this isn't a public network post.
]

Rinne-senpai said people have turned to stone here before. He claimed that's what the House does to you if you refuse to go to bed with anyone. I'm not sure how the process works, but I assume it's similar to things like those animal ears, or that flower-coughing disease that went around. In other words, it's something that just happens.

He said it was another guest who told him about it, but he refused to name names. I guess he wanted to protect their privacy.
tfy: (pic#16399424)

[personal profile] tfy 2024-06-22 08:13 pm (UTC)(link)
[Hiyori can imagine the inner turmoil even if he doesn't see it. He doesn't know whether the stone business has any connection to Senku's life, but the House does seem to know an awful lot about them all. Who's to say they weren't inspired by what happened in his world?

Though he wrinkles his nose when he sees that initial comment.
]

You must get your jokes from the same book as Rinne-senpai, since that's just what he said!

[He doesn't like crude humor!! But he'll forgive it given the seriousness of what they're talking about.]

"Overcome" by sleeping for thousands of years, you mean? I'm not sure the House is kind enough to put any of us into that kind of sleep. I'm worried they might just chuck us in a ditch somewhere. Or let our statues decorate the place.

[He's seen those. The ones that look eerily lifelike. And now he'll never be able to look at them the same again, though he's not sure whether he's right in that suspicion or not.]

Though Rinne-senpai implied that turning to stone doesn't necessarily kill you, so maybe you are right.

Anyway, I wanted to warn you first. Though now I think it might be best to put up a big PSA warning everyone.
tfy: (pic#16377844)

[personal profile] tfy 2024-06-25 02:06 am (UTC)(link)
That's true, I suppose. I'm not really sure what happens to people after they *do* turn to stone. But as long as you can find their statue somewhere, maybe there's some hope.

I just hope the cure isn't something nasty, knowing this place.


[Translation: he doesn't want to fuck any statues. Nor does he want to think about anyone else doing so!!]

Does that mean you went around reviving people who'd turned to stone back at home, though? I knew you were involved in rebuilding society, but I just assumed all the stone people woke up on their own or in sleep pods.

[As for the PSA question...

His shoulders sag. Ugh. He may have a point about him getting punished if he tries. Though the only "punishments" he's received so far were rather weaksauce.
]

Not if they want us to think they're so kind and loving and generous, just like all the longer-term guests do. Though I think the ship's already sailed on that for most of us.

We know they're always spying, so I'm not sure how much difference it makes. But if you think it's safer to spread the word in-person, I guess I can try that first.
tfy: (pic#16382678)

[personal profile] tfy 2024-06-26 02:12 pm (UTC)(link)
[Yeah, that first bit earns an expression of pure disbelief. Not that Senku can see it.]

That sounds like something out of a manga.

[He doesn't even read manga, but he knows enough to know that.]

You're stronger than I am. I'd probably die of loneliness and boredom before the first year was up. Though I guess it might be different if I knew Jun-kun or Nagisa-kun was still out there somewhere.

Good luck getting your hands on all that stuff!


[Yeah, he has no idea. He's glad someone around here knows what they're doing, though. Even as he wonders whether Senku's science prowess is any match for the resort's magic.]

I don't think there's any way to guarantee no consequences. Rinne-senpai's been cooperatively playing that game the way they want us to, and they still made him disappear for a month. Sometimes drastic times call for drastic measures!

But telling people separately should still help spread the word. So, I guess I'll start with that first.

There's also another thing I'd been thinking I should make a PSA about at some point. Have you heard the term "suit effects"?
tfy: (pic#17058796)

[personal profile] tfy 2024-06-29 05:17 pm (UTC)(link)
I meant that I would've died from boredom while I was still stone. Though inhabiting a wasteland doesn't sound like much fun, either. If there were people I knew who still needed waking up, though, I'd definitely busy myself with trying to do that. By throwing them a concert, for example!

[Of course that's what he'd try first. Perhaps he could also try talking incessantly until they woke up. Sometimes it pays to be annoying!

But enough silliness. That next question is sobering.
]

I've been wondering that nonstop, to be honest. But not everyone who disappeared here came back like Rinne-senpai. Some of them had their names taken off the registry and were never heard from again. I don't want to assume the worst, and I almost don't want to investigate because it's such a horrible thought, but I do think someone needs to get to the bottom of this. If it's possible to turn people back from stone, then perhaps those who disappeared aren't a lost cause after all.

I don't know anyone who has disappeared permanently, though. So even if their statue retained a lot of their features, I still wouldn't recognize them.


[This will change in a month or so. But at the time this conversation is taking place, he doesn't know any dropped characters.]

So no findings worth mentioning? I wonder if that's another one of those things the House wants to keep under wraps. If so, they're pretty bad at preventing information leaks. Alright, time to start polling people on that!

[It might be safer to discuss that, and cause less panic, than broadcasting the whole stone thing in public.]
tfy: (pic#16399424)

[personal profile] tfy 2024-06-30 04:24 am (UTC)(link)
If you remember their names or their network IDs, you could try checking the registry. I guess there's still no telling what happened even if they were removed, though.

Rinne-senpai also said the resort's been running for a while. Or at least that's what J told him. So if those statues *are* guests, they could be guests who were petrified decades ago.


[Which is a really depressing thought: being stuck like that for years. Most people couldn't power through it like Senku, surely.]

Do you have all the ingredients for "revival fluid" here?

I don't think you have much to be embarrassed for. At least you've been looking into some stuff. That's more than you can say for some people here. Though I guess if you bought the whole wish-granting thing and you're fine with sleeping with whoever, then ignoring the mystery behind this place and focusing on "Game 52" might seem the most logical. I'm sure that's what they're counting on us to think.

And if that's the case, they shouldn't be so blatant about their manipulation! We were all kidnapped, for starters. Then some of us were made Rank 2s or Rank 3s and got stuck with those awful basement rooms. But they made sure to tell us, "If you want to rank up, you have to sleep around! Same if you want to go home!" So anyone who knows about the rank system, or anything else about how things work around here, should already see their true colors for what they are.
tfy: (pic#16390080)

[personal profile] tfy 2024-07-01 03:49 pm (UTC)(link)
The library has stuff like that, huh? I tried to learn about magic through the library once, but it's so huge and there's so much trash to wade through that I basically gave up and started asking people in-person. Guess I'll go back sometime! Did you get anything noteworthy from the journals, though?

The House seems like they can procure just about anything, so I wouldn't count it out. But if you do have to make it yourself, then good luck.


[Thanks, Clubs!

And no thanks to the House. It's always depressing to he reminded of how dismal their circumstances are.
]

Yep. We're more like test subjects than guests. It's like they're trying to breed lab rats in captivity, or something like that.

[...]

But enough of that analogy.

I really am sorry to bring the bad news to you. It's not my fault this place is like that, of course. But my job back home is to spread cheer, so it's rather unfortunate I have to keep doing the opposite here. That's one more thing I'd like to complain about!
tfy: (pic#16307042)

[personal profile] tfy 2024-07-05 12:01 am (UTC)(link)
That's what Rinne-senpai told me. It's hard to imagine since the resort has all this cutting-edge stuff now, but in the past it must have looked different.

Is that a privilege that comes with his rank? In any case, I don't think I've met anyone with that name yet, but I'll keep it in mind.

And that's good to know. You're what we'd call the resilient type! We could use more people like that around. I like to spread my radiance to absolutely everyone, though, so I'll be sure to shine a little on you as well! ✨😊✨
tfy: (pic#16399419)

[personal profile] tfy 2024-07-09 07:31 pm (UTC)(link)
Why, that's simple. It must have run on ~🪄✨🔥✨🫧✨~MAGIC~🪄✨🔥✨🫧✨~!

Though I already know how you feel about that idea. And it's not a satisfactory explanation to me, either, really.

Someone who "omits details on purpose" doesn't sound very trustworthy, you know! But if his rank is that low, maybe he can be plied with free food and such.

And if he can't be, oh well. That just means I helped someone who's down on their luck and failed to benefit in return. But that's something I like to do anyway, so either way, I win!

You don't want a tan, huh? I know it's impossible to get any real sunlight around here. But that just makes me the closest thing, so don't be afraid to bask sometimes!
tfy: (pic#16328444)

[personal profile] tfy 2024-07-14 02:26 am (UTC)(link)
Yep, there are people here who can do plant magic! Or flower magic. There's this one person who makes flowers with healing properties, using drops of his own blood, apparently. I haven't met him in-person before, but his username is "Wildflower."

[They actually have met at the Roost once, but at the time this inbox thread is taking place, he hasn't realized that was the same person yet.]

I'd say I'm more of a realist. For example, I know the House wants us to kick back and have fun, but the situation we're in is quite terrible, so I'm afraid I can't just sit in salon chairs and shop all day. Which is a shame because I'd really like to!

But I try not to let all that unpleasant stuff affect my positive attitude, *or* my dazzling smile. So, whenever you want to bask in that radiance, feel free! Perhaps a day of basking would do you some good!
tfy: (pic#16390080)

[personal profile] tfy 2024-07-15 07:49 pm (UTC)(link)
Flowers and tea, huh. Sounds like he has some interests in common with me! But I take it you're not as big a fan? Then again, I'd rather drink tea than just talk about it. Especially over these watches. My hands are going to cramp from typing on this small screen at some point!

And great! 😊✨
tfy: (pic#16399419)

[personal profile] tfy 2024-07-16 02:11 am (UTC)(link)
Like the ones you find in vending machines? Nope, not my style at all! Though I've seen Jun-kun drinking them once or twice. Fortunately, there are energy-boosting teas, too.

And sounds like a plan It's easier to bask in-person than over messages anyway. Though I guess there's always the video or audio option. But at that point, you might as well just meet up. Preferably over tea!

Or other drinks. Whatever our hearts desire~

[He attaches a photo. The photo shows a certain orange-haired boy striking an adorable (?) cheeky pose.]

I wanted to ask about Leo-kun! Do you think he's cute?
tfy: (pic#16535789)

[personal profile] tfy 2024-12-22 06:40 pm (UTC)(link)
Leo-kun's been a bit lonely since Rinne-senpai disappeared, so I'm trying to help him get out more and make some new friends. Which means arranging dates or meetings or whatever you'd like to call it! Interested?

[Rinne was also the one making sure Leo didn't turn to stone due to lack of sex, so...]
tfy: (pic#16399419)

[personal profile] tfy 2024-12-22 09:29 pm (UTC)(link)
So you do know him!

[That should make this easier! ... hopefully.]

I'm not quite sure what you mean by that. That just makes it sound like you're a bother, and I've met much more bothersome people than you here! But Leo-kun's the type who loves everyone, so even if you were a pain, he'd probably still be happy to meet.

Is there anything in particular I should warn him about, though?
tfy: (pic#16390080)

[personal profile] tfy 2024-12-22 11:56 pm (UTC)(link)
Not exactly! I was serious about him loving everyone, so I don't think he's looking to go steady. If he was, it'd probably be with that person back home he talks about the most.

But a date doesn't have to mean going steady. It can be more casual! "No strings attached" - that sort of thing! 😊


[Ideally, he would like for them to fuck, though. Since Leo's suit will need taking care of going forward. But that's beyond his control, and he can't just say it! He can only attempt to pull the strings!!]
tfy: (pic#16400990)

[personal profile] tfy 2024-12-23 12:25 am (UTC)(link)
[Been there, done that, not doing that again!! (Until the next time he inevitably breaks some rule or pisses off the House and gets cursed a third time.)]

I'm not naive. "True love" has a hard time flourishing in this environment. If they hadn't brought Jun-kun along, I wouldn't have sought out anything like that here.

[He'd be trying to keep things shallow with everyone, probably. He can be cuddly and kind, but he has a surprising cold side to him.

Though it's probably not all that surprising to Senku, who's seen that side of him before. (Exacerbated by his suit, but still.)
]

But perhaps if you get along, you could also be friends! I'm sure we could all use more of those around here.

I don't know what you're talking about!

[(He knows exactly what he's talking about.)]

You don't need to manage me, anyway. Me and Jun-kun already have a producer back home! But if you want to manage Leo-kun, be my guest! He does sometimes forget to eat and such. Maybe you can snack together during your date~💕

He's a Rank 10, too, you know. But great!

Would you prefer to meet up somewhere? Or would you rather talk to him over this watch thing first? If it's the latter, his username is @ Knights! Simple and easy to remember, no?

[On the day of the 25th, Senku will receive a delivery!

The first item in the package is a Flashing LED Christmas Tree Kit! Or rather, a "Flashing LED Non-Specific Holiday Tree Kit." One circuit board, six 470 ohm resistors, six 47 ohm resistors, six 10 uF capacitors, six NPN transistors, six LEDs (2 red, 2 green, and 2 blue), one switch, and one AA battery holder all included. (Batteries sadly not included.) Assembly instructions are included, but he doubts Senku will need them.

I asked a staff member what the best gift for a science nerd would be, and he handed me this!

So that's his first gift. But because Hiyori possesses a noble and generous heart, he also threw in a free bar of soap! "Citrus Sunshine" scent. For the next time you need to wash your mouth out! he writes on the note. Ha, ha.

Merry Christmas!
