( r6 ) talking-head: minami.

[showhost]

Minami is invited to take a seat right in front of the cameras, while the overseer smiles at them brightly and waves.

And asks them questions, of course.

They don't have to answer truthfully, but they should be aware that every single last thing they're saying might very well end up in the final cut.

Have fun!

[ find love... minami sits down, looking around and doing his best to sit still even though he's clearly nervous. he steeples his fingers together, managing to look 0% thoughtful at all, given how he can't keep still. ]

Heyyy that's no fair, you took my answer! W-wait does that mean there's people here for other reasons? Am I gonna be the only one who wants to find someone who's the right fit for me? [ his brows furrow and loops droop, a perfect representation of 🥺. ]

[aspirings]

[OH. OH NO HE'S ALREADY FLUBBED THIS INTERVIEW. LOOK AT THAT FACE.]

Oh--no, no, even if some of the contestants may have different priorities, I am sure everyone here is eager to find someone who will brighten up their life! Please, do not worry on that front!

[inparfait]

Mmn...but you said... [ how many times will he cry in front of production? let's start a tally because it sure is looking like he might at minute zero of this interview. ]

I'm not the first person you're interviewing, right? Can you tell me how someone else answered? That'd make me feel better, knowing I'm not alone...

[aspirings]

[uhhh]

Quite a few of your fellow contestants have said that they are hoping for storybook romances, or finding what they consider true love. You are not alone, Minami, I promise you!

[inparfait]

Really? Yay!!!!

[ crisis averted, he's all smiles now ☆★~ ]

I hope I'm matched with one of them...I think they're just what I'm looking for.

[aspirings]

[PHEW. smiles are important!!]

I'm sure you will be. [Time to take control of this interview back...] Is there anything else you'd be looking for in a partner besides just them also looking for love?

[inparfait]

Mmmn....someone with a good heart. Definitely not a criminal or someone who doesn't care about helping others. They have to be able to see the good in all the shitty stuff humans do and want to save the world anyway.

[inparfait]

[ ah...did he just curse? ignore that and focus on his bright dazzling grin instead. ]

Oh and this isn't really required but if they can make delicious parfaits that'd be a real plus! But as long as they're a goody two-shoes in general I can make do~.

[aspirings]

[... Ha?]

A "goody two-shoes"?

[inparfait]

Mmhmmmm. [ his hum is musical, but his voice is less high pitched than it was just a moment ago. ]

You know, someone who looks for the good in everyone and won't take no for an answer? Someone who breathes "good will triumph over evil" in their sleep? Someone who would agree to lose everything just to save someone else?

One of those!

[aspirings]

Oh, I see! [a relieved laugh. Ha... ha ha!!]

That phrase usually has negative connotations, I think, but you mean it in a good way. I see! Phew...

[inparfait]

Of course I do~ [ his giggle is totally innocuous too. ]

Hey, can I ask you a question?

[aspirings]

Well, I don't see why not.

What is it?

[inparfait]

Are you looking for love too?

[aspirings]

Oh, no.

[He doesn't even give that a moment's thought.]

I'm here to facilitate the beginning of your love stories! And, of course, to be a dazzling star on stage.

[ok tsukasa.]

No need to worry! You only have to get to know your fellow competitors in that sense.

[inparfait]

Awww, so that means you're taken?

[ i am so sorry for everything this thread has been. ]

[aspirings]

[it's so funny



also tsukasa is too stupid to process this as embarrassing at all]

You could say that!

Right now, I am taken... by my dream! [help me] I plan on being a world-famous actor that will bring smiles to everyone who sees my shows, and so that is my focus.

It is my plan here, too, of course! I intend to make sure that the audience, the staff, and all of you contestants participating leave this show with a smile on your faces.

[inparfait]

[ it's fine, because this is the kind of answer he wanted to hear honestly. anyone who caved too easily wouldn't be a good quality enough soul~ ]

Well if you change your mind, let me know! You're pretty cute ★~. [ leaning forward to poke him on the cheek.

cuuuute

squishy

like marshmallows and whipped cream and all the things he likes— ]

1/a...few.....

[aspirings]

[Tsukasa is, of course, beaming, a hand pressed to his chest and oh-so-proud of himself--






...?]

[aspirings]

[?

? ? ????]

[aspirings]

[Everything comes together for him at the cheek poke, and then he's recoiling, face red and stammering:]

Th-th-th-th-that...! Won't be a problem!

4/4

[aspirings]

[help his brain.

He overcompensates with Volume.]

Last question! Wh-what do you want to tell the audience about yourself before the competition begins!

/2

[inparfait]

Give it some time, maybe you'll dream of me!

[ luckily he doesn't wink, but he does grin, all teeth.

he'll have to remember to pay tsukasa a visit when he goes hunting~ (dream surfing) ]

[inparfait]

But okay, okay, you put me in a pretty good mood so I'll play along.

Make sure to watch me, I'll be your dream or your nightmare. Maybe both! Either way, I'll give you what you deserve ☆.

[aspirings]

[what just happened]

That's... very good, Minami! Er. Those are. Those are all of my questions for you!

Best of luck in the competition!

[And the staff will open the door for him.]
