#character: e

[astralfortune]

I think it’d be so funny if mc tried to hide their identity and one of the members saw right through it but another is like “wow you look familiar” but it’s not clicking at ALL for them 😭

You don't know how badly I want to write this kind of scenario into the game. Unfortunately coding it would be a nightmare so all we can do is imagine 😔

This is so on brand for E. They'd be completely dense and unable to connect the dots for a very long time. I can't help thinking it'd be like the Perry the platypus thing.

E: Our neighbor?

Manager: *Puts on a defining item.*

E: MC the neighbor???

X would be the one who most likely sees through the disguise. They've spent a lot of time admiring from a distance, so they're very familiar with your appearance. They would also be giving E some sideye when E doesn't recognize you. It's so obvious to them, why can't E see it?

"You were never interested in making your own music when we were trainees." $!{e_name} muses as ${e_he} takes a sip of ${e_his} milk tea. "Even though it could have made you debut sooner. So what changed?"

$!{x_name} is hesitant to answer honestly, saying it out loud will mean giving a name to all the new feelings they've been having lately. ${x_he} pushes around the strawberry on the plate, watching in roll around like the thoughts in ${x_his} head, never settling on one spot because of ${x_his} own actions.

"There's something I want to say to someone." Simple and vague but enough to answer the question.

"Hm," $!{e_name} hums. Like always, ${e_he} always knows what $!{x_name} is actually saying. $!{e_his} next words are quiet, and $!{x_name} hears the resignation in them. "Good for them, then."

How the ros would act in a triangle love case (V kind)?

As T/H vs X or E vs O

I've answered a love triangle between T/H and X here

But for E vs O?

They'd be discovering a lot about each other and themselves while they compete for the MC.

E is usually an optimistic person. They don't let things get to them too much. Yet they find themselves becoming more assertive whenever they see O and MC together. They butt into conversations or openly invite MC out in front of O. E has the advantage in that they'd make a quicker and more natural connection with the MC compared to O who will use tactics to get closer to the MC which don't always work they way they want.

O definitely acts more immature the longer the triangle goes on. They're constantly taking advantage of their position as the youngest to keep the MC's attention on them. If that doesn't work, O will show off just how good they can take care of the MC with their homemaking skills, all with a smug smile on their face because they know E can't do much besides cook.

It doesn't matter who the MC chooses to be with, there's still going to be some tension between the two for a while. It'll take some time for things to go back to normal, but I'd like to think their bond will become stronger after.

I was sad to see that E lost the poll, but the I realized that means there is more of them for me! :D

And they will soak up all the attention happily!

Mc is being flirted by a cowokerd and they are uncomfortable. How crushing stage fortune acts?

T/H - When they see someone flirting with you, they'll swallow down their jealousy and watch with resignation. It's only when they notice your discomfort that they'll step in and interrupt. They'll make an excuse and politely take you away from your coworker. Awkwardly tries to explain themselves and how it's completely natural for them to defend you as coworkers. Totally not because they didn't like seeing someone all up in your space when it should've been them-

X - The most normal out of the whole group. They'll immediately shut down the coworker's flirting and take you away from the situation. This isn't the first time they've seen someone flirt with you, and they've long since gotten used to watching from the sidelines. But now that they're closer to you, they can do the things they've only dreamed of. Brings you to an ice cream shop and secretly treats it as a date in their mind.

E - They watch with keen interest at the coworker flirts. Do they have competition now? They're eager to see how this will go. But when they see how the coworker loom over you and how you try to lean away from them, something sparks inside them, and suddenly, they're pushing the flirt against the wall. Huh, that was weird, but at least E has your attention now.

O - Yeah, they're not happy with this. O doesn't even bother to come up with an excuse, just takes your arm and drags you away, smiling all the while. They're not jealous, stop asking. The next few days are oddly silent and every time you run into the flirt, they flee before you can say anything.

recently played the demo and decided to go diving in the blog for asks.... i know you're not going to add in the option of mc looking completely different outside of work (understandable, sounds like a coding nightmare) but that combined with e not being able to tell it's still mc in that case + that ask where e seems like they'd ask about the company rules regarding dating because they have a crush on a new neighbor.... connecting the dots...

e going to their manager and admitting they have a little crush on a neighbor, mc asking for details to confirm their suspicions, realizes e is just describing them outside of work??? maybe mc also speaks in a different tone outside of work so e can't tell right away you know???

Oh no, there are going to be options to look different outside of work. Not too many, just enough to have the MC look distinguishable from their work persona.

But yeah, poor E won't be able to tell the difference. They'll be falling for this completely new and interesting person who is totally normal and isn't aware of the world of idols. They make E feel like a real person again while their attempts at getting closer to the manager are rebuffed by the wall of professionalism.

Makes you wonder how they're going to react to the realization that they're both the same person.

I want to know how the ros could react if mc had an angelical voice but they never wanted to be an idol/singer

T/H - In awe of the beauty in your voice and will ask why you never sought it out as a career. They completely understand your reasons and won't press you if you prefer to keep this quiet. They won't ask you to sing for them but on the off chance that they do hear you singing, they'll keep silent and just listen.

X - Just another reason as to why they love you. It doesn't matter to them if you never wanted to be an idol or singer, you're forever perfect in their eyes. They won't ask why, but somehow they already know the answer. On rough days, they'll ask you to sing for them to help them relax.

T - Drags you to karaoke just so they can listen to you sing more. And and to sing duets. Will ask you why you never auditioned but ultimately understands your answer, even if they're a little disappointed that they can't release a song with you.

O - Secretly very pleased that you have no interest in showing off your voice. They want to keep this part of you all to themselves, even from the rest of the group. Your voice is a treasure that their ears alone get to be blessed with.

Fun Fact #23

E had quite a few regulars and admirers back in their parents' restaurant, they were all a little saddened to hear that E left suddenly to become an idol. After Fortune's debut, E was the one with the most fans at the start thanks to their small established fan group.
