... She pauses, tugs her boots off, and okay, better. (It's not better. She'll jump off in a minute.) ]
Okay, listen up!! We have an opportunity coming up to test out the compatibility of two individuals in this house! I believe in thinking positive and also not wanting to waste an opportunity, so if anyone would like to volunteer or has ideas that they'd want to test, let's hear it!
The more we're in accordance when it comes to testing this, the less likely we all are to screw it up!
Also, the pressure is the lowest on the first week, so maybe if you don't want to get thrown into the fire later on, I'd volunteer now.
[ Go forth! Discuss theories! Volunteer yourself bravely with someone else who may not be as brave! ]
It seemed to me that buffet of...delicacies we had last night helped some of us engage in less superficial chats. Such is the power of a good meal, I suppose.
[Furina's not suspicious of any outside influence whatsoever.
We're all still catching up on food threads, of course, so she broadens it to a more general spread:]
Has anyone had any particularly enlightening conversations? Say, have you been drawn together by shared interests? A mutual enjoyment of our little kissing game, perchance?
[Being a little menace might blow up in her face, but that's fine.]
[ She might be a little eepy... but that won't stop her from terrorizing Furina. Nothing could. Her smile is coy, and she twirls a finger in her long, dark hair. ]
Mutual enjoyment.... maybe you can give me an example you felt, sweetheart?
[What if he drinks some wine casually over here, listening in for a minute or two?
Verso's of the opinion that if they choose a pair that gets along well with each other, spark or no, they're cooked. He's noticed that nearly everyone gets along well enough for most to be a contender... The choices are almost too many.]
Maybe we should keep track of who's willing to volunteer?
[ In the case they don't think of a good guess? Yingying blinks slowly, drowsy where she's draped over the couch. Like hell she's missing out on this conversation, though. Don't mind her while she sleepily rubs at one of her eyes. ]
I'm willing to, of course... I can accompany anyone who's feeling shy.
Odd, isn't it, how the young are shy when it comes to directness?
[ Please. Odile sips her tea, all the more relaxed for it. ]
When a bottle tells them to kiss another, they follow without question. But left to their own devices, they find it harder to narrow down -- or perhaps unwilling to put themselves in such a position, even when we haven't a starting point.
[ It's soooooo funny, Yingying. She is having the time of her life watching them. It does sound like she may have her own ideas to speak on, but she doesn't yet. ]
Please be careful getting down from there, Amano-san. We wouldn't want any injuries.
[ Anyway, straight to the point: ]
I believe our dear overseer mentioned the producers might have some sway over the matches. And if that's the case, don't you think there might be some priority placed in theatrics? Viewership retention is important for those higher-ups. So I think a pair with clashing personalities might not be a bad choice. Even better if the clash is dramatic.
Not to put anyone on the spot, but as it seems our esteemed producers have done their research on us, then they may have taken our preferences for partners into account. If someone's only into men or women exclusively, or has a strong leaning, that eliminates about half the potential matches for them, at the very least.
[ Once conversation has quieted down a bit, Yingying perches herself on the back of one of the couches so she can be a bit Higher UpTM in order to make an announcement. ]
Since we've yet to decide on a pair to send... Rom and Ringo have both suggested that perhaps it's a good idea for me to select someone to go with.
[ Provided the people are willing of course. They do have to pick somebody before the day is over, though. ]
I've been getting along so well with everyone, it's difficult for me to choose just one. [ Like. Genuinely and honestly. She has her own strategy in her head about who she should choose, but with that disclaimer said, she puts a hand to her chin, eyes softened by thought. ] But, thinking about how to bring everyone closer to their wishes... I've come up with two ideas!
[ She can't let those slip through her fingers. What kind of fairy would she be if she did!! ]
Ringo is doing a lot of studying and research, right? Going to the booth might give her a hint about the kind of person she's matched with, and more "data." We both like trying new things, but maybe her match is supposed to be someone different than her? That would be my first idea. [ WHATEVER DATA MEANS ] My other idea would be to take Luka. We're both singers... and famous, in some ways. That, and, it couldn't hurt to narrow down who either of our matches might be.
[ They're both mysterious beauties.... with all that said, she leans over until she can prop her elbows on her knees, cupping her face with her palms. A little dramatically: ]
tb catherding here we go again stop playing protags Kia aagh

Perhaps we should start with some of the more distinct personalities and go from there. Though that doesn't really narrow it down, does it...

Who here seems like the most discerning when it comes to their matches? Maybe there's a better chance of success if we ask if they've felt a spark.

YINGYING STOCKS, aka the requested opinion of who should go into the booth
Since we've yet to decide on a pair to send... Rom and Ringo have both suggested that perhaps it's a good idea for me to select someone to go with.
