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...]

[scooptimistic]

Well, I'd say 50/50.

[ You know. ]

I think they... have an interesting dynamic, and there's obviously chemistry there, but I'm not sure if they're what the other needs, if that makes sense.

[phenomerom]

50/50!

[ Sorry, he was eavesdropping. ]

That's a fairly high guess.

[scooptimistic]

I'm an optimist!

[ BRIGHTLY. Tilting the popcorn invitingly at him.

Eat more, scraggly. ]

[phenomerom]

I see!

[ After a brief moment of consideration, he'll take a handful of popcorn with a nod, thank you. It's not that he's opposed to food, he just kind of eats whatever, whenever instead of seeking it out much. ]

Well it would certainly be nice if we managed to hit the jackpot on the first go. The odds are against us, but it isn't impossible.

[scooptimistic]

Exactly! So while we can, I'm choosing to believe in them.

[ Winners all around except for Luka haters. ]

[reverso]

You're right, they're a bit hard to read beneath the show they put on for others.

[Sounds familiar, but! Luka and Yingying take this concept and run with it to the nth degree.]

Do you really think matching up what each other needs is the move we should take going forward? That's a very different approach...

[scooptimistic]

[ Shh we don't talk about it. ]

It was just a thought I had. If they end up matched, then maybe it's what everyone was first thinking. If not, we can consider other factors.

[reverso]

Maybe...

[What they need. That sounds rather self-reflective, requiring plenty of introspection. And sharing!! yeah no thanks]

Here's hoping it's the easier option, actually.

[scooptimistic]

For their sake or yours?

[ A little nudge. ]

[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. ]

[scooptimistic]

[ Poppy, bless your heart. ]

I heard you and Luka don't really get along, though...

[fireball]

[ hesitantly: ] ... I mean he's kind of a jerk, isn't he?

[ please agree with her ]

[scooptimistic]

I don't exactly know what happened there, but I guess he could come off as abrasive?

[ Not to her, but.

It's Maya. ]

[fireball]

[ if anyone's mean to Maya we riot ]

Yeah! Yeah, that's it, exactly. You get it!

[ She gets it!! Crisis averted. ]

[scooptimistic]

[ Maya will just beat them up herself. It's fine. ]

... Here's hoping this show doesn't do vitriolic tension....

[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.

[scooptimistic]

[ Popcorn? Popcorn for Furina? ]

As expected of you, huh? Well, let's keep our impressions in mind and we can go into detail after.

[nrangel]

Positive through and through. It's pretty impressive.

[scooptimistic]

I don't think it is!

... But maybe I've just done it for so long, I'm actually really cool...?

[ No. ]

[nrangel]

You are pretty cool, so that just might be the case.

[scooptimistic]

Serpilia--!!

[ She'd hug her if not for popcorn. ]

[nrangel]

[ What else do you call the person that risked life and limb (or more a slight ankle sprain) to organize them all to get this show going? Obviously cool. ]

Just so you know I'm not the kind of person who does insincere flattery either.

[scooptimistic]

I feel like anyone who did would say that too, but I do believe you.

[ So at least there's that. ]
