I might consider you to be among them, Miss Yingying.

[ She's so mysterious, but based off their interactions so far... ]

There's also Yi Sang, Ringo, Messmer...those who made a very particular first impression.

[embellwish]

Is that a compliment, sweetheart?

[ She's gonna reach over shamelessly and poke at his cheek. ]

Messmer surely has strong opinions... it might help narrow things down, but I don't think he'd like it very much if we voted him in there. [ He didn't even want to play kissys with them??? ] Yi Sang is quiet and shy, too. But in his case, I'm sure he'd be really adorable with heart all aflutter in there....

[ this is just fact? and she says it as much. ]

[hexensabbat]

Yeah, I'm with you on that one.

[Just calling out from where she's sitting, chilling.]

If Messmer doesn't want to go in, we shouldn't try to force him to. We can ask him, but... [he didn't even want to play kissys with them :(]

[embellwish]

Who knows, maybe he'll surprise us?

[ no he won't but anyway ]

What do you think of being one of the more "distinct" personalities, Ringo?

[hexensabbat]

Well, it's true, so I'm glad that's coming across!

[Yeah, shamelessly.]

I was made to have one, you know? May as well utilize it to the fullest in a situation like this.

[embellwish]

Hee hee. Well, then, according to our lovely Aventurine, we should hear what you have to say about what would be a good guess for you!

[ Ringo doesn't seem the type who'd be shy about this at all, so she asks shamelessly, too. ]

[hexensabbat]

[She's definitely not shy, but she does pause anyway, frowning a little.]

... I don't really know. It'd help if I knew the parameters... or what sort of process their algorithm is following...

[Ringo is Computer, after all.]

[embellwish]

[ Parameters, algorithms... it all flies over her head. But the sentiment gets across, and she shakes her head firmly. ]

No, no, this sort of thing is all about your heart. Rather than think of it that way... who have you been having fun with, sweetheart? That's a good place to start guessing.

[anathemaw]

I have no need of thy protections.

[ he can say no by himself!! having so many people discuss him in front of him is somewhat uncomfortable. ]

To volunteer me would be akin to casting away thy choice. Better choices surely may be found amongst the flock.

[hexensabbat]

Yeah, okay, big guy. [whatever u say.] Consider it done for my own peace of mind, then.

Anyway, you know you're matched with someone here, right? That's how the game works. So it's an even chance with sending anyone else in terms of what we gain from it.

[anathemaw]

Aye. Yet only a fool would send two without thought.

[hexensabbat]

Well. Can't deny that.

Any thoughts that might help us out? Doesn't have to be about you, for the record.

[anathemaw]

[ he's quiet for a moment, thinking. The snake at his shoulder lifts its head, apparently scanning the room.

Well... ]

Maya and Verso were quite passionate the night before. As wert thou and Shoko. [ a pause. ] Though she and thee spent long minutes with much of the room.

[embellwish]

It's not protection, it's consideration. Anyone can see you don't need any protecting, sweetheart...

[ She corrects him without fear. And babygirl-ifies him without it, too. ]

I just think you need more time to get to know everybody first. Nothing wrong with that, like you said.

[anathemaw]

Call me not by such sweet names.

[ EVEN RELLANA ISN'T ALLOWED TO CALL HIM THAT!!! ]

[embellwish]

Hmm? Feeling shy?

[ that is absolutely not it but she can't help but tease about it ...... ]

[anathemaw]

I feel naught but thy disrespect.

[ messmer is no fun ]

[gamboler]

[ Will Messmer even fit in the Truth Booth... who can say. ]

Let's avoid sending Yi Sang in there for now, if we can. He's still finding his sea legs, so to speak.

[embellwish]

No Yi Sang, no Messmer.... I guess that leaves Ringo and me, according to your grand strategy.

[ Which, like! She and Ringo are total snacks! It makes sense! ]

You don't think of yourself as being one of the more distinct ones?

[gamboler]

Mm, I'd say that's more up to you and the others. To myself, I'm the most ordinary person around.

[ He's rather tired of being with himself, in fact! ]

[scooptimistic]

You're biased and therefore your opinion doesn't count!

[ From.

The counter. ]

[gamboler]

[ Waving back at Maya, hey up there: ]

So you're saying I've left quite the impression on you, Miss Maya?

[scooptimistic]

I'd say so. Even if I don't have a very distinct personality...

[ okay, girl. ]

[embellwish]

[ Sir????? ]

Even the most ordinary people have lives full of charm.

[ That'd been the beauty of Bloomfete, after all. No one is "just ordinary," at least in her eyes. She takes that side stepping regarding having an opinion about himself as evasiveness — the kind she should try to outsmart and corner, eventually. ]

Peacocks aren't generally thought of as plain, ordinary birds. In the old legends, they represent divinity and status.

[gamboler]

[ Old legends are usually full of disappointment, when you follow them to their source.

Of course, he doesn't say as much, but meets her remark with a level, nonchalant shrug. ]

Careful, Miss Yingying. Say things like that too often, and it might just start going to my head.
