week one | match ceremony
Today's Match Ceremony starts the moment the sun goes down. They will be led to a courtyard on the estate, filled to the brim with lanterns of all kinds and plush couches and chairs for them to sit on. The place is lit bright by the lanterns and the vibe is very cozy. There will be a few camera crews lingering around, ready to catch sight of the contestants as they settle in and get comfortable. There is also food and beverages, some alcohol, some non-alcoholic, for everyone to partake in.
In the center of the courtyard is a stage, hanging above it are eight lanterns, none of which are lit up. Wei Wuxian stands in the middle, dressed to impress for tonight's festivities. In one hand, he has his flute, in another, a cup of huangjiu. He lifts it merrily, giving a laugh before knocking back the alcohol and tossing the cup away. (A staff member nearby catches it, thank god.)
"Welcome, everyone! To your first match ceremony! I am your humble host and we're here to see if chemistry can happen, even under duress~!"
A staff member nearby grimaces at that. It might be the same staff member who caught the cup. It's fine, the producers won't punish him. Probably.
But characters will notice that there is a podium next to the stage for them to lock in their answers.
"For those who are new to this, let's talk about how this works. First, I will call up one of the members of Team Suibian and they will go to the podium over here, make a choice of who they think their match is, and together you will press your hands to the podium to lock it in."
He gives a hum, twirling the flute in his hand a few times before grasping it by the end and using it to point at the contestants.
"As a result of your choices, the lanterns above me will light up with however many perfect matches you've chosen. It is your job to figure out which of the choices made tonight are indeed perfect matches. If you aren't able to get any of them right, you will get a black out. Which means, someone will lose their wish. Don't do that!"
He'll let his warning hang for a moment before smiling, tapping his shoulder lazily with the flute and then grinning broadly.
"With that, let's get started."
——
Each character of Team Suibian will be called in random order, under the selections top level. Feel free to react there!
After the matches, the results top level will reveal how many are right!
Otherwise, feel free to use this log for any reactions, catherding, whatever you want for the match ceremony.

Good evening, Edamura-san. Exciting, isn't it ... [ insert ominous chuckle here. ] It's good to see everyone so nicely dressed up, though. Yourself included.
no subject
T-- thank you!
[. . .]
Everyone really does clean up super well. . .
[he knows he is just an average goldfish in a sea of beautiful bettas]
no subject
[ Glancing everyone else's way before looking back to Edamura. ]
You should really dress like that more often, Edamura-san. You clean up quite well yourself, and having a good images really grants you more confidence!

I tried a little on that first day. I wasn't lying about wanting to make a good impression.
[but then his brain got broken and throughout the week he definitely was. . . a bit in shambles. BUT EDAMURA'S BACK, BABY! sort of]
no subject
[ He trails off ominously there, just staring at Edamura for a moment before laughing. ]
Well, despite everything, I don't think you failed at that goal. You certainly made a impression, and sometimes that's all you need. Now that the initial shock is past, I'm sure you'll be just fine.

You're always ready with the pep talks, aren't you Shindou-san?
no subject
Oh, don't worry, I'm keeping track of their frequency and will be charging you accordingly once we've had our phones returned to us.
no subject
[OF COURSE HE DOES NOT, EDAMURA!!!]

Nothing in this world is free, Edamura-san! They're normally a once-a-month membership benefit for those subscribing at 10,000 yen a month! But for other participants of the show, I'm willing to give a generous 50% discount for each one.

[ Looking at him with pity ................. ]
no subject
[which is]
[nothing]

... would you like me to keep that a secret from any of your prospective matches?
no subject
If someone would only like me because of my earning capacity, then we wouldn't make a very good match, anyway.
no subject
[ He gets it, you know. He's comfortable enough now, but he knows the struggle. ]
Not to worry though. I won't bring the matter up unless you do so yourself. Free of charge, of course.
no subject
Are you worried about me?
no subject
[ He pauses just long enough for it to make it looks like that might be the extent of his answer before continuing. ]
I have pretty good intuition when it comes to a lot of things. Something tells me you'll probably turn out just fine in the end.
no subject
[okay, edamame]
