[ 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?
[ Girl, if you could see the shit he sees ............. ]
Aah, yes. I could believe that. He does seem rather high-strung.
[ A hum in thought. ]
It sounded like he'd had some unpleasant encounters with certain people. I was wondering if maybe the producers would do something with that. Though I'm not sure if they can switch the matches on such quick notice, or if they're already set in stone.
This isn't just a guess. Mr. Nico is apparently quite a fan of this show, and mentioned -- 'drama matters just as much as genuine feelings.' He doesn't seem the type to make wild conjectures, so I have to imagine some decisions were very obviously made just for the sake of drama.
So even if we rule out your conversation with Edamura-san as something that would entice the producers, I think it's a factor worth keeping in mind.
True... you'd have to ask him which people he was talking to, though. Probably with anyone who wasn't entirely "normal", but I didn't see his freakouts personally.

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

[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?

... Haunted.

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.
no subject
Aah, yes. I could believe that. He does seem rather high-strung.

Huh... you might be onto something there.
Wouldn't be me though. I think our chat was pretty mild.
