<<notify 4s>>Autosaving...<</notify>>\ <<type 75ms>><h2 class="ttext">FIVE WEEKS LATER</h2><</type>> <i>This is it! I can't believe I'm here… I’m going to be on Love Language!</i> A mix of excitement and nerves courses through me as I wait in the dressing room. The color scheme is both jarring and intriguing. All white lighting, furniture, oak floors, and walls blend seamlessly into one another. If not for the stark contrast of the black ceiling, it would be impossible to tell where anything starts or begins. The runner’s instructions were curt, leaving me unsure of what to expect. They rushed me in here and dashed out, with only a firm, "wait here.". Their level of enthusiasm is a little amusing. Our power walk through the set probably left behind a trail of smoke. As the seconds tick by, anxiety starts to overpower excitement. I lean against the makeup table closest to the door and glance around the rest of the room, desperate for a distraction. The decor is sparse and follows the theme of the room–a set of white makeup tools and several matte black hair tools. There’s even a small bouquet of black flowers in a white vase on one of the two makeup tables. Whoever the interior designer is, they seriously had a thing for monochrome. A soft tapping sounded out, followed by the distinct click of a door opening. "<<if $fname>>$fname? Are you decent?<<else>><span>Are you decent?</span><</if>>” A melodic voice calls out. Without registering their words, I push off the table and take a few steps forward. In the doorway a brunette with warm brown eyes is poking their head in. “Hi! I'm Roni, the PA for Love Language." Roni slinks into the room without opening the door any wider. <span id="output"></span>\ \ <span id="q1">\ <span class="heartrep">❥</span> <<click "Hi, Roni.">>\ <<run $("#q1").css("visibility", "hidden")>> <<run $("#q2").css("visibility", "hidden")>> <<replace "#output">>\ "Hi, Roni." "She/her. Roni works too." The door clicks close from the weight of her back as she leans against it. "How are you feeling?" It’s hard to miss the warmth in her voice and the cheery vibe radiating off of her. *[[Good. I feel great, actually.][$bold to Math.clamp($bold + 1, 0, 100)]] *[[I, umm... fine, I guess.

!love language casting call <center><b>NOW CASTING NATIONWIDE!</b></center> Actively seeking adventurous and open-minded singles to take part in an exciting new experience. <center><b>Are you tired of hookup culture and want something more? Ready to ditch superficial relationships and surface level connections? Sign up today!</b></center> <b>Love Language</b> is a dating show eager to break down dating stereotypes. It aids hopefuls craving more meaningful connections–offering new, unexpected ways to finding love and focusing less on aesthetic attractions. To obscure these distractions, <b>Love Language</b> singles will be wearing masks–keeping their physical features partially hidden. Over the course of six weeks, these masked singles will be living together in a stunning waterfront estate while the public follows along as they get to know one another, form connections, couple up, and ultimately find love. Hopefuls will go through a series of physical and emotional challenges, surprise matchups, and plenty of other twists and turns along the way. These exercises are meant to push boundaries and test bonds. <i>Love isn’t easy and neither will the journey on <b>Love Language</b> be.</i> So, here’s the first twist. There is no hard rule on unmaskings. Singles get to decide whether or not to reveal themselves. If and/or when they find themselves ready to face each other, they can do so. The masks are not a requirement, only a suggestion. And for the second twist, there is a price for unmaskings. $5,000 will be deducted from the secondary prize pool. <b>Would you be willing to risk it? Or will you play it safe?</b> <b>Bring on the personality!</b> While relationships and genuine connections are key, personality matters, too. <b>So, shine for us, baby!</b> The public holds the power: they influence couplings–who gets to pick and in what order, determine favorites that’ll gain advantages in challenges, which single they want to send packing, and most importantly–the winning couple. A total of $500,000 will be awarded to the winning couple and the secondary prize of $60,000 goes to the last masked standing. In the event that there are multiple contestants still masked by the final week, the winner will be left up to the public. <center><b>So, do you have what it takes? TO APPLY GO TO: WWW.LOVELANGUAGECASTING.COM</b> <sub>Must be over the age of 18 and mildly insane to apply.</sub></center> ---- *[[Yes!

"Um… I.. uh…" Need another minute? Here, here. Wait… ..... There, there. I, uh, apologize. I’m bad at being comforting. So, let's maybe try again? This is getting a little awkward… I hope you find that adult, by the way. Now, go further. *[[Okay, here goes...|00Application]]

"Uh..." “Yes, this is a reality dating show. So, why wouldn’t we take any opportunity to push more drama? Sure, there will be drama; it’s inevitable. But rest assured this will be done in a safe environment.” There’s a brief pause before she speaks again. “Well, as safe as we can possibly make it.” She follows up with a bob of her head. “Okay.” I notice concern flashing in her eyes at the uncertainty in my tone. “This is a reality show about dating, things can be unpredictable. So, you’ll come and speak to me if you need to, right?” Her eyebrow arches with expectation. “I will come speak to you.” I assure her. “Good!” Roni's face lights up as she relaxes and leans back into her seat. The warmth in her smile matches her now relaxed demeanor. “Now, I’m sure you have questions for me?” *[[Yes, I have a few.|00DR1.3]] *[[I think I’ll keep the mystery and wait.]]

"Right, so! Let's get you ready then." She points toward the adjoining room behind me. "In there is your wardrobe. You'll have plenty more options once you are in the house." I look back curiously, craning my neck trying to catch a glimpse inside. Roni laughs. “Don’t break your neck. Go take a look. You won’t regret it.” When she stands, I quickly follow suit. I’m stunned into silence when I see the wall-to-ceiling racks of clothing, shoes, and accessories, all meticulously organized and displayed by style. “Are all the dressing rooms stocked like this?” My feet move on their own, taking me deeper into the never ending closet. I may have just entered Narnia. “Yep! It’s awesome, right?” She chirps from the doorway with pride. “... It’s incredible!” My stomach flutters at the sight of a satin floral blazer. An unexplainable desire to touch it has my fingers flexing in response. “We have a great group of sponsors. They made it possible for us to provide as many options as we could.” Her tone is filled with awe. "I'll be just outside your dressing room. Come out when you are done." She jabs her thumb over her shoulder. "And I’ll take you over to the main house, okay?" "Sounds good." I nod. "Alrighty! Have fun and I'll see you in a bit. Don’t forget, mask on." Roni grins as she pantomimes putting a mask on, before stepping out of the room. *[[THIS is it.|00DR1.5]]

"Yes, I have a few." “Ask away!” She nods encouragingly. <<include "00DR1.3qs">>

"I think I’ll keep the mystery and wait.” I can't read her expression, and I’m left to wonder how many of the other contestants said the same way. “Sure. Mystery keeps things interesting.” <<include "00DR1.4">>

<<notify 4s>>Autosaving...<</notify>>\ I’m stalling at this point. Why? No idea. My fingers absentmindedly toy with the mask, turning it over and over again.

What stares back sends a shockwave of exhilaration through me. Oh, I look good… really fucking good. With renewed confidence, I stride out of the room-not allowing another thought to derail me. At the sound of the door opening, Roni's gaze shifts to me. Her eyes widen as she takes in the details of my outfit. “Okay, $fname. Look at you. Looking all… amazing.” Her honest reaction has me smiling from ear to ear though she can't see through the mask. “Thanks!” “How are you feeling now?” She beams with satisfaction as she tilts her head and guides me towards the other end of the hallway. *[[Excited!

The harsh sun lasering down at us makes me squint as I follow Roni through the estate. It’s summer and the air feels especially thick under the mask. I can already feel the sweat threatening to break out on my forehead. Roni leads me along what looks like a rocky pathway to nowhere. The gravel crunches loudly beneath our shoes in a very satisfying way. We are surrounded by perfectly manicured greenery and trees, making it seem like we are walking through an orchard. As the rest of the estate comes into view, I actively have to remind myself where I am and why I’m here. This estate is insane. The house is actually a mansion… with a waterfront view. Any lingering nerves dissipate as I take in the spectacular view. There are no other properties in sight, just vast acres of green meeting clear blue water. Then I notice an entire house attached to the mansion. “Holy shit...” In my eagerness, I’ve practically sprinted toward the mansion. “Is this real?” My voice comes out breathy as I stand just outside the large double doors. Roni’s cheerful laughter draws me out of my euphoric haze. “It is very real, I’m happy to say.” She calls, working to make up the distance. “Looks like some things might be changing for you.” There is a gleam of happiness in her eyes that seems genuine. My cheeks color when I realize just how far I’ve gotten ahead of her. “I think you might be right.” “Well, then. This is where I leave you. Your introduction will start as soon as you walk through these doors.” Her eyes flick to the doors then slowly back to me. “Good luck!” She shoots me two thumbs up. “Knock ‘em dead.” “Thanks...” I go to return her thumbs up but end up gently tapping my fists against hers instead, awkwardly giving her a double fist bump. *[[Wave at her awkwardly and head inside.|00TeaserEnd]] <<liveblock>>*<<link "Give her a quick hug. $flirt_label" "00TeaserEnd" "2">><</link>> *<<link "Don’t say anything else and walk into the house."

“Alright, so…” As she taps on the tablet a few times, she pauses to meet my gaze. "You will need to choose an alias." Roni gracefully flips the tablet and hands it to me. <<textbox "$alias" "">>⠀ <<link '<span title="submit" class="fa-solid fa-chevron-right"></span>'>><<update>><</link>> (capitalize) As I give her back the tablet, she takes a moment to the sceen. "<<if $alias>>$alias, nice!<<else>><span>Nice!</span><</if>>" She chirps. “Now, I’m going to give you a quick rundown of a few rules. The rest you’ll get as a group once you are all in the house.” She crosses her ankles, making the heels on her shoes clack together. “Okay.” I nod. It gives me a Wizard of Oz moment, as if the click of her heels makes reality set in, its incredible weight heavy on my tongue. I manage only a terse nod in response. When I signed up for Love Language, I did it half-heartedly, but I never considered the possibility of being chosen. “This is for production purposes, we request that everyone refrain from making any reveals for the first three days.” She holds up three fingers to stress the significance of waiting three days. “After this it is entirely up to each of you if or when you reveal yourself." “Got it,” I confirm. “Next thing, only a limited number of the crew knows the contestants true identities. So, please make sure to keep your mask on while we escort you through the property. If you decide to reveal yourself after the,” She wiggles three fingers. “... then this rule will no longer apply.” “Ah, that would explain the speedy drop-off.” I give her a small smile and try my best not to fidget. The tightness in my stomach is getting impossible to ignore. “Pardon? I’m sorry, I’m not sure what you are referring to.” Her head tilts slightly to the side. I find myself having to bite back a laugh. The genuine confusion paired with those doe eyes was adorable, doggo head tilt adorable. “The runner that escorted me here. They seemed a bit rushed.” Roni lightly chuckles. “There’s usually a lot of nerves on set during the first day of filming.” The corner of her lip twitches as she shakes her head. “So much for star treatment. Sorry about that.” “No, don’t be. I was only joking.” I snort and wave dismissively. “Now, everyone has signed the disclaimers and is aware of the rules on conduct on the show, but I have to reiterate this.” Her previously light tone turns serious “If, at ANY TIME, you are feeling unwell or unsafe, come speak to us immediately. Even if it’s just a tiny inkling, please don’t hesitate to communicate with us. I will be here and available whenever you need me.” My curiosity is piqued and now I may have more questions than I started with. That wasn’t where I thought she was going with that. I assumed they would try to stir up chaos and drama, not try to keep the peace. “I know what you’re thinking.” She chuckles. *[[Uh…|00DR1.2c1]] <<liveblock>> *<<link "What am I thinking? $flirt_label" "00DR1.2c2" "2">><</link>> *<<link "It’s not what you think.

"Good. I feel great, actually." "Awesome!" With a cheerful smile, she gestured towards the chairs, inviting me to sit. “You’ll do great.” Her affirmation brings a smile to my face. "I hope so." Following her lead, I sit down on the makeup chair, feeling more at ease. <<include "00DR1.2">>

"I, umm... fine, I guess. A little nervous." "That's perfectly okay. Is there anything I can do or get you that'll help ease your nerves?" Her eyes soften and she gestures toward the chairs, inviting me to sit. "I’ll be okay. Thank you, though." I give her a small smile while following her lead, I sit down on the makeup chair, feeling more at ease. <<include "00DR1.2">>

“Excited! I’m suddenly very ready.” “Yes! That’s the spirit.” Her voice brims with enthusiasm. <<include "00 masked 2">>

“Nervous… very nervous.” “Aw, nerves are good. It means you care.” Roni assures me, placing a comforting hand on my shoulder. “So they say. It doesn’t feel very good.” I sigh. “I have a feeling you’ll change your mind once you get in there.” Roni tries again. <<include "00 masked 2">>

“I… don’t know. Conflicted?” “Why conflicted?” Her eyebrow quirks up as she asks the question. “I’m nervous, but excited, and… honestly, a little terrified.” Surprisingly, I don't feel any reluctance in admitting it. “Ah. I’d say having a lot of feelings is good, but I’m not so sure with that combination.” I am taken aback by the concern in her voice, causing my steps to falter. I turn to see her look over at me with an unreadable expression. “... What?” My voice climbs several octaves and cracks with uncertainty. My face grows warm, and I'm grateful for the mask hiding my embarrassment. “I’m kidding.” She smiles as she gives me a light nudge with her shoulder. “Those are all very valid feelings and honestly, I’d be a little concerned if you didn’t feel that way.” The air around us lightens, but there's still a faint sense of unease. I playfully scoff. “I have a feeling you’ll change your mind once you are in there.” Roni says, as if hearing my thoughts. “Thanks.” I smile even though I know she can’t see it. <<include "00 masked 2">>

"It’s not what you think. I don’t always prefer to put it there, but sometimes I’m just like… why the fuck not?” “What?” Roni's eyes widened in shock, her eyebrows almost touching her hairline. “Huh?” We both burst into fits of laughter. “Soo, yeah... this is a reality dating show. So, why wouldn’t we take any opportunity to push more drama? Sure, there will be drama; it’s inevitable. But rest assured this will be done in a safe environment.” There’s a brief pause before she speaks again. “Well, as safe as we can possibly make it.” She follows up with a bob of her head. “Okay.” I notice concern flashing in her eyes at the uncertainty in my tone. “This is a reality show about dating, things can be unpredictable. So, you’ll come and speak to me if you need to, right?” Her eyebrow arches with expectation. “I will come speak to you.” I assure her. “Good!” Roni's face lights up as she relaxes and leans back into her seat. The warmth in her smile matches her now relaxed demeanor. “Now, I’m sure you have questions for me?” *[[Yes, I have a few.|00DR1.3]] *[[I think I’ll keep the mystery and wait.]]

<b>Note:</b> These are just placeholders. I am working on some designs and will hopefully have them ready for the next update. =)

"What am I thinking?" Her expression softens slightly and the corner of her mouth twitches but just as quickly she composes herself. “You are thing... this is a reality dating show. So, why wouldn’t we take any opportunity to push more drama? Sure, there will be drama; it’s inevitable. But rest assured this will be done in a safe environment.” There’s a brief pause before she speaks again. “Well, as safe as we can possibly make it.” She brushes a few strands of hair behind her ear. “Okay.” I notice concern flashing in her eyes at the uncertainty in my tone. “This is a reality show about dating, things can be unpredictable. So, you’ll come and speak to me if you need to, right?” Her eyebrow arches with expectation. “I will come speak to you.” I assure her. “Good!” Roni's face lights up as she relaxes and leans back into her seat. The warmth in her smile matches her now relaxed demeanor. “Now, I’m sure you have questions for me?” *[[Yes, I have a few.|00DR1.3]] *[[I think I’ll keep the mystery and wait.]]

<span class="ldef">Love Language</span> [luhv lang-gwij] <i>noun</i> <sub>1</sub> refers to the way one prefers to express and receive love. The concept and terms as introduced by author Gary Chapman, who proposed five specific love languages. According to Chapman, the five are: <span class="heartlet"><i class="ll-ll-square-chat"></i></span> Acts of service: Performing actions/tasks - running errands, making coffee/tea in the morning. <span class="heartlet"><i class="ll-ll-square-chat"></i></span> Gifts: Providing visual symbols of love - thought gifts like flowers just because. <span class="heartlet"><i class="ll-ll-square-chat"></i></span> Physical touch: Non-verbal, physical affection - holding hands, kissing, hugging, etc. <span class="heartlet"><i class="ll-ll-square-chat"></i></span> Quality time: Uninterrupted and focused one-on-one time - date day/night, play board games, cook/bake together, etc. <span class="heartlet"><i class="ll-ll-square-chat"></i></span> Words of affirmation: Verbal expressions of affection - encouragement, praise, appreciation, etc. We express and receive love differently. Understanding and learning those differences can have a meaningful impact on your relationships; it is beneficial to form deeper connections. What’s your love language? <span class="next"><<button "Next" "00CastingCall">><</button>></span>

“I get the concept of the masks but… how?” “How… in what sense?” Amusement glints in her eyes. “Like, the logistics of it all. How would we eat, groom, and sleep?” My expression must be funny, judging from the way Roni is grinning at me. “You’ll be provided with variants of the mask that you created with the costume department. It’ll make some tasks easier to perform.” She glances at the vanity table where my mask lays. “There will be more details once you’re inside, but there will be designated pods where you can safely change them.” “Pods? That sounds… interesting.” “They are pretty cool. The bathrooms aren’t communal–it will be shared with your couple. And as for sleeping, everyone is provided with sleep masks. I don’t want to give away too much more.” “Also interesting.” <<include "00DR1.3qs">>

“How many other contestants are there?” “There are ten.” A smile slowly spreads across her face. “For now.” “That’s ominous.” I laugh. <<include "00DR1.3qs">>

“Can we win both prizes?” “Yes. A lot will be decided by the public, so anything is possible!” “Who doesn’t love a popularity contest?” I can't help but cringe at the bitter undertone in my voice. “I don’t think you have anything to worry about. I have a feeling you’ll do great.” Her response was confident and unwavering. If she picked up my undertone, she isn’t showing it. <<include "00DR1.3qs">>

“Could we still win if we end up in a friendship couple?” “Sure, that’s possible. The public could easily fall in love with your friendship.” The playfulness in her voice changes the tone of my question. “Aw.” A small smile tugs at the corners of my mouth. “That’s a cute way of looking at it.” Her lips curve upward as she smiles back at me. <<include "00DR1.3qs">>

“Will it be obvious where all the cameras are?” “Yes, there is zero subtlety. You will be able to spot them easily set up throughout the property.” Roni giggles. “But don’t worry there won’t be any in the showers, toilets, and a section of the communal dressing rooms.” “That’s almost comforting.” I furrow my eyebrows. “The cameras are monitored around the clock by our very professional crew. If there is anything inappropriate, it will be censored before it is aired.” She quickly follows up. “Again, almost comforting.” This time I smile. “Every member of the production crew is required to sign confidentiality agreements and NDAs.” It is a statement but . “Okay, getting warmer.” <<include "00DR1.3qs">>

That satin blazer calls to me again, and before I know it, I’m standing in front of it. I reach out and run my hand along the sleeve. Silky. The sensation is soothing, so I pet it a few more times while my eyes rove over the choices around me. This is intimidating. What do I even wear? I start to feel overwhelmed but then I see something… Choose your style: ( <<link '<span title="style info" class="fa-solid fa-heart-circle-exclamation"></span>'>><<script>> Dialog.setup("Choose your style"); Dialog.wiki(Story.get("styleinfo").processText()); Dialog.open(); <</script>><</link>> ) <<radiobutton "$dressStyle" "option 2" autocheck>> Androgynous - a blend of masculine and feminine styles. <<radiobutton "$dressStyle" "option 2" autocheck>> Artsy - fun details and unique flairs𑁋wearable art. <<radiobutton "$dressStyle" "option 2" autocheck>> Bikercore - dark colors and silver jewelry𑁋heavy on the leather. <<radiobutton "$dressStyle" "option 2" autocheck>> Boho - earthy and flowy𑁋hippie. <<radiobutton "$dressStyle" "option 2" autocheck>> Business Casual - business but not𑁋button shirts and blazers. <<radiobutton "$dressStyle" "option 2" autocheck>> Casual - chill and comfy𑁋all wear is loungewear. <<radiobutton "$dressStyle" "option 2" autocheck>> Dark/Light Academia - goth but moody or breezy and romantic. <<radiobutton "$dressStyle" "option 2" autocheck>> Feminine - florals, bright, and pastels𑁋barbiecore. <<radiobutton "$dressStyle" "option 2" autocheck>> Fun/Funky - anything goes𑁋the brighter/bolder, the better. <<radiobutton "$dressStyle" "option 2" autocheck>> Glamorous - glitz and glam𑁋red carpet ready. <<radiobutton "$dressStyle" "option 2" autocheck>> Hipster - retro and thrifted𑁋skinny jeans and beanies. <<radiobutton "$dressStyle" "option 2" autocheck>> Masculine - straight lines and flat shoes𑁋suits or bomber jackets. <<radiobutton "$dressStyle" "option 2" autocheck>> Minimalist - simple designs and neutral palettes𑁋no fussy details. <<radiobutton "$dressStyle" "option 2" autocheck>> Preppy - timeless and polished𑁋nautical or pastel. <<radiobutton "$dressStyle" "option 2" autocheck>> Racy - bodycon and lots of skin𑁋femme fatale. <<radiobutton "$dressStyle" "option 2" autocheck>>Sporty - sneakers and slides𑁋leisure. <<radiobutton "$dressStyle" "option 2" autocheck>> Vintage - full thrifter𑁋1920s to 2000s. The mind-boggling number of options leads to indecision, leaving me with a pile of mismatched pieces. So, I place them all back, only to start over. When my choice is made I walkover to the full-length mirror. A brush of cold air touches my neck as I adjust my collar causing goosebumps to prickle my skin. Fully dressed and nearly ready, I take one last look in the mirror. Seeing my reflection with the outfit all put together gives me a tinge of anxiety. *[[I take a deep breath while running my hands over my clothes to smooth out the invisible wrinkles.|00 CC Eye Details]]

"Will we be referred to by our alias' for the entirety of the show?" I ask Roni, curious about the role these aliases will play She smiles mischievously, clearly enjoying the anticipation. "Oh, yes, definitely. Your alias will become your identity within the show. Are you having second thoughts about your choice?" //Am I?// \ <span id="q1">\ <span class="heartrep">❥</span> <<click "Yes">>\ <<run $("#q1").css("visibility", "hidden")>> <<run $("#q2").css("visibility", "hidden")>> <<replace "#output">> "Well, now I am." I laugh. "Yes, I'd like to change it." Roni giggles as she hands me the tablet again. "No worries, names can be tricky." As Roni hands me the tablet again, I look at it for a moment, contemplating my new alias. I had picked something generic before, not wanting to draw attention, but now that she's offered the chance to change it, I feel a surge of excitement. This alias will be my persona for the entire show, and I want it to be meaningful. After a brief moment of thought, I decide, “<<textbox "$alias" "">>"⠀ <<link '<span title="submit" class="fa-solid fa-chevron-right"></span>'>><<update>><</link>> (capitalize) <<liveblock>>"Ooh, I like it," Roni remarks, her eyes sparkling with approval.

Roni raises an eyebrow, playing along with my question. "Oh, that's a secret I'll hold onto for now." "Fair enough." Roni gives me a wink and then proceeds to explain, "Remember, during the show, the mask is everything. Embrace the persona you've chosen, let it free you from any inhibitions." <<liveblock>>I take a deep breath, feeling a mixture of nervousness and anticipation. "Got it. As long as my mask stays on, I'll be <<if $alias>><<print $alias>>."<<else>>."<</if>><</liveblock>> "Exactly!"

I shake my head and smile. "I'll stick with my original choice. No need to change it." Roni grins, clearly pleased with my decision. "Good call! Your first instinct is often the best one." I nod, feeling confident in my choice. "Now remember, <<print $alias>>, once that mask is on, you can truly immerse yourself in this experience. It's an opportunity to explore connections beyond ordinary boundaries." "I'll keep that in mind," I reply, feeling a mixture of excitement and nervousness. Roni gives me a reassuring smile.
