tb react let's go,,

[fireball]

[ eating popcorn acquired from somewhere. hope you brought your own! or are at least doing a good job trying to steal from her ]

This better be good.

[ already judging, ]

[reverso]

With those two? We're definitely going to get a show.

[fireball]

I know, right?

[ munch munch. actually, offers the bowl to Verso too ]

They're very, um... [ remembering that she doesn't have beef with Yingying. only Luka... ] showy.

[reverso]

[Oh thanks, Poppy! He grabs a handful — but courteously, not like a heathen.]

They are. We'll see if that's good enough, even if it's superficial.

[ ... ]

I bet you'd be happy to see Luka get his perfect match, though, right? [so he can be banished into the honeymoon suite]

[irreversal]

It'll definitely be something.

[ she's definitely stealing popcorn btw ]

[fireball]

[ Shoko is cool, she's allowed ]

You think they'll be a match?

[phenomerom]

Ohhhh, how photogenic. In terms of being suited for television, they feel like some of our best candidates, don't they.

[ No popcorn here, he just has a cup of black coffee. (He never seems to have much food ... ?) ]

[fireball]

[ listen, just coffee is... valid. for him. it fits his aesthetic. or something. ]

Yeah, I guess if they wanted a certain Look[ ™ ] they got it.

[ A beat. ]

She looks way better than him though.

[enscene]

As expected... aesthetically, they make for a very pleasing pair.

[They do their little duet, and Furina leans forward, definitely keyed in as a listener.]

Oh, they really are talented. Splendid.

[nrangel]

Mmmhmm. The audience should really be thanking us for this one.

[scooptimistic]

If nothing else, it'll be entertaining and an answer!

[ Miss Positive Thinking over here. With a popcorn bucket of her own.

She'll share. ]

[reverso]

I'm curious, though. How would you rate our chances?

[Can he steal popcorn from everyone else...]

[fireball]

[ bless her

Look, Poppy's trying to be judgy, but it's really hard around Maya. She's just so? Nice? In such a pure way?? How do you be mean around her, even if it's towards people who totally deserve it. ]

Oh... yeah, you definitely aren't wrong!

[ will it be entertaining though. will it. ]

[enscene]

The simplest solution is often the correct one, but not always. It's a good place to start.

[Furina has thoughts, maybe, but she's in the audience right now, and approaching from that perspective.]

We should enjoy the show, and then we can think about what we learn from it.

[nrangel]

Positive through and through. It's pretty impressive.

[ordimame]

[casually popping some popcorn into his mouth while he watches]

They sure do know how to work an audience.

[fireball]

Right?

[ munch munch. ]

It's like, okay, they're going to go find out if they have to spend eternity together or whatever. [ is that what this is

a beat. ]

At least the whole thing's really pretty.

[nrangel]

That's what a show like this needs, right? A nice, strong start.

[hexensabbat]

[She will cheerfully flop next to Poppy to try to steal her popcorn, thanks.]

Hey, no matter what happens, we'll know more than we did, right? Anyway, they both seem like they're having a great time out there!

[fireball]

[ Ringo is soooo cool, she also gets to steal her popcorn

Probably a little weirded out about her eating, though? But politely ignoring, because Ringo is cool. ]

That's true! [ A beat. ] That's, uh, what's important, right?

[ Knowing more than they did before or that they're having a great time out there? That's Ringo's choice how she wants to interpret that. ]

[enscene]

... Do you regret that the group didn't vote for you?

[It's something they seem to have very much in common: wanting to experience things on their own terms. She feels some regret that Ringo was robbed of that chance, maybe.]

[poans]

[Yi Sang is ever present off to the side. His eyes slide shut when the two boothgoers begin their song, seeping in their music. He is not judging, because Yingying and Luka exist on their own stages.]

[irreversal]

[ Quietly, once Yingying and Luka's duet has finished: ]

What did you think? Of the song.

[gamboler]

[ After Yingying and Luka's little duet, tossing a piece of popcorn into his mouth (he brought his own, thanks!!): ]

Well, they do know how to put on a show, I'll give them that.

[phenomerom]

It's harder to imagine a more dynamic first session, isn't it? The producers must be patting themselves on the back by now.

[ No popcorn, just a mug of black coffee for him. ]

Perhaps if we're lucky they'll also throw us a perk, if we boosted ratings enough.
