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.
[ He really should have watched more of this show before attending ... Now he's a little annoyed at himself that his schedule was so busy before. Oh well! ]
Yes, precisely. Something to pull in views, rather than a couple with compatibility in mind. I wouldn't wish to forcefully volunteer others, but ...
Don't they say there's only a thin line between love and hate? Haha.
[ Deadpan, so it's hard to tell how serious he is about that. ]
But you do have a point. Two people who actively dislike each other is probably a bad choice. But perhaps two who argue frequently ... It suggests a level of compatibility, doesn't it? The willingness to keep that conversation going, even if it's contentious.
You might be onto something there, though. I mean, there's always opposites attract... two people arguing like that... What Maya brought up about loud and quiet together sounds really promising to me too!
You? But you think you belong more in the confident category, so that doesn't count.
[... She presses a hand to her forehead.]
Oh, this is hard.
Odile is fun to talk with about theory, but anything else feels like she's not that interested. Edamura is too busy panicking... since he's so normal. Messmer seems fine but he definitely needs a friend before we start matchmaking. Yi Sang seems...
[ In that usual, confident, creepy-cheerful way of his: ] I don't believe he is. Haunted, that is. Or at least, I'm fair sure he isn't the most haunted of us.
[ So says the Engima Illusion, so clearly it must be true! Anyway -- ]
Lord Messmer does seem uncomfortable with the proceedings so far. He might refuse to enter the booth, like with that bottle game. [ Which leaves ... Hm. ] ... Miss Ringo, did you argue with Edamura-san, by any chance?
[ Yeah he's gonna cast a brief sidelong glance at Yi Sang. ]
That's exactly it. I'm afraid I've been a little too occupied to pay as much attention to everyone else's interactions as I'd like, but ... is there anyone comes to mind fitting that description for you?
For calm... Shoko. Odile. You, probably in certain situations. Messmer. Yi Sang, I think, is a deeply poetic person, but I don't think he really wants to stand in the spotlight just yet, sort of like you said. Yingying's calm, but also playful and I don't know how much of her personality is just... lack of energy sometimes.
They do seem to have accommodated for him in this main house, so. Then, presuming he won't be made too uncomfortable in there ...
[ Though he's frankly just imagining Messmer hunched over miserably in there with his snakes and the other party. The thought has him smiling just a little wider to himself -- creepy! -- as he moves on. ]
Ieiri-san, Lord Messmer, and Miss Yingying. May be my suggestions for the calmer party. Especially Miss Yingying, I suppose, since she seems quite comfortable with volunteering. As for someone who might fare well with her ...

Pairings made just for the drama of it all, I mean.

[ ya know ]
no subject
[She taps her lower lip, thoughtful.]
That is to say, they've always had some sort of reasoning to be able to point to, so that fans of the show couldn't cry foul.

Haha.
[Anyway.]

no subject
Yes, exactly! Not so severe a clash that one side would simply be overwhelmed, but enough that there would probably always be some friction.
no subject
On the more energetic or confident side of things, there's Yingying, Maya, Nico, me, Aventurine...
Feels like Furina, Poppy, Shoko, Serpilia and Verso could go either way. Hmm, maybe you could fit here too.
Does that sound about right?
no subject
That does sound correct. I'd put myself in the latter category, for the record.
[ He's only quiet because this isn't his usual streaming work ... ]
But with those classifications made ... for example, is there anyone of the quiet or neutral parties that you particularly enjoyed debating with?
no subject
[........]
You? But you think you belong more in the confident category, so that doesn't count.

... Haunted.

no subject
But.
He moves the conversation along, so she allows it.]
Argue? Nah, nothing like that. He just didn't believe I'm an AI. It's the shock of going from a normal life to this whole mess, I'm sure.

[ She doesn't seem concerned. ]
But it's true that drama might play a factor here. In which case, one of our quieter friends with one of our louder ones?
no subject
[ Hm. Pondering that for a moment. ]
Perhaps not too quiet. Not someone who'd be overwhelmed. A one-sided interaction probably doesn't make for good television.

[ Not dead inside-- ]

no subject
Everyone else is a bit... not like that!
[ How tactful. ]
1/2
[ Which is one way of putting it! Anyway, ignoring the mention of himself: ]
I'd guess Miss Odile might also be reluctant to enter the spotlight. Ieiri-san would probably indulge a request if asked ...
[ Pause. ]

no subject
I'm sure they have measures in place for that.
[ But now she kind of wants to see that. ]

Ieiri-san, Lord Messmer, and Miss Yingying. May be my suggestions for the calmer party. Especially Miss Yingying, I suppose, since she seems quite comfortable with volunteering. As for someone who might fare well with her ...
[ Hmmmmmm. This is hard. ]
no subject
Just, in general, opposites or not. She's pretty lively, so I think she probably gets along with most people.
[ Good for her! ]
no subject
That's certainly an option! I'm not opposed.
no subject
[ Just to gauge. ]
