We should be a little strategic about, shouldn't we? And yet...it might be fun to see how spectacular we do if we leave it purely up to chance.

I feel like you're the only one here with the kind of good luck that would let you easily survive a hurricane while an earthquake is happening.

[ Flatly. ]

My luck might just be good enough to cover the whole group. After all, we only get our wishes if we all choose our correct matches, don't we?

[ He is Delaying but he's also thought about this quite a bit. He should be able to help them all succeed... ]
scooptimistic: (I am 14% uncomfortable)

[personal profile] scooptimistic 2025-06-06 11:23 pm (UTC)(link)
And if that doesn't work out for everyone, Aventurine?

[ So mildly. ]

[personal profile] gamboler 2025-06-07 12:27 am (UTC)(link)
That's half the fun. The thrill of wondering if you're careening right into inevitable disaster...

[ But it won't happen. He won't let it. ]

Could you at least give me a vague idea of what you're thinking? Even if you just spin the bottle and see who it lands on??

[ Aventurine! Please!! ]

[ Alright, he'll relent — even if that much feels a little bit more vulnerable than he would like. It's not the naming names that's the hard part, it's the...explaining why.

But, well. Nothing ventured, nothing gained. ]


I may continue to be swayed but the discussion, but at the moment, I'm thinking of Mister Nico, Mister Verso...and you, Miss Maya.

[ THE WAY EVERYONE KEEPS HESITATING BEFORE SAYING HER NAME--

She blinks a little, caught off-guard. Huh. ]


Okay, so three of the most charming people here, got it--

[ Listen...they love the drama, okay.

A little sigh, through a smile. ]


Well, that goes without saying. It's not easy to catch my eye. I wouldn't be here otherwise, haha.
scooptimistic: (I really don't get paid enough for this)

[personal profile] scooptimistic 2025-06-07 01:57 am (UTC)(link)
That's very true! Is that your reason for choosing?

[ Eye-catching? ]
gamboler: (075)

[personal profile] gamboler 2025-06-07 02:42 am (UTC)(link)
It's a part of it. As for the rest...well, you'll have to wait and see who I pick tomorrow, won't you?

[ Smooth dodge... ]
scooptimistic: (Time for more serious shit)

[personal profile] scooptimistic 2025-06-07 02:43 am (UTC)(link)
Okay. Sure.

[ A huff. ]

Keep your secrets.

[ He doesn't trust his own luck, but -- ]

Given the amount of information we have [ not much ... ] that may not be the worst decision. Would you roll a dice, or simply close your eyes and pick someone?

Whenever given the chance to role the dice, the gambler never misses his opportunity to throw fate fully upon the wheel of fortune. ]

[ why couldn't he just answer normally ]

[personal profile] phenomerom 2025-06-07 12:51 am (UTC)(link)
[ -- sure, he can work with that! ]

Perhaps we can ask our dear overseer for some dice, then. Two 8-sided dice should work, yes? A 16 would simply have you roll again.
gamboler: (101)

[personal profile] gamboler 2025-06-07 01:32 am (UTC)(link)
I'll ask Mister Wei next time I see him around. We'll only need to assign each of our friends to a number, and the rest will be left to the whims of chance.

[ In theory, anyway. ]
phenomerom: (037)

[personal profile] phenomerom 2025-06-07 02:30 am (UTC)(link)
Perfect! Alphabetical order might be best, then? Miss Furina would be first, followed by ... ah, you, who we'd omit! Then Mr. Luka, and Edamura-san, and so on and so forth. On second thought, two 8-sided dice would mean this works out perfectly. Maybe it was meant to be!
gamboler: (130)

[personal profile] gamboler 2025-06-07 03:20 am (UTC)(link)
See? You catch on quickly. The fate of the dice is as good as anything! And far more exciting.
phenomerom: (032)

[personal profile] phenomerom 2025-06-07 03:33 am (UTC)(link)
Exciting, certainly!

[ Pause. ]

But given the nature of this game, it's probably wise to have backup options available. It wouldn't feel like good television to have you rolling dice over and over on stage, would it? So -- did you have any other thoughts on your prospective matches, Mr. Kakavasha?

[ He stiffens just slightly — ah. He hadn't clarified his name with Rom yet, had he? An oversight on his part. ]

Aventurine, if you don't mind. That's not a name I'm really known by anymore. [ By anyone. This is how he knows the producers went poking their noses where they didn't belong. ] But — I do have a few people in mind that I'd like to test my compatibility with. I've spent a fair amount of time getting to know Miss Maya, Mister Verso and Mister Nico, so I'll start there.

As a backup, of course.

[ Added cheekily. ]
