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.

And like you said, it's only been one week.

You'll have to tell me what to substitute for performances, though.
no subject
[ Hmmmm. ]
Can I rain check that, and get back to you in a few days?
no subject
[ this is the most casual way he's asked anyone out on a date so far, but given everything that's happened, it makes the most sense. ]
no subject
We should at least put the rng to a little test, right? I'd be happy to go on one with you.
no subject
And that the next match ceremony will be in our hands.
[ dialogue box: luka will remember this pops up. ]
no subject
[ Good luck to everyone that spurned them!!
No, alas, Serpilia is not the type to hold a grudge for that, especially when everyone's just doing their best to find their match. She is going to keep the 1/3 number in mind though, and maybe focus her attention on some of the people who weren't on everyone's mind already. Seems like her luck of finding whoever she's paired with is better that way. ]
no subject
[ luka's not necessarily the type to hold grudges, he's just also luka so-
people who know ALST will understand, this meta will not be helpful. ]
no subject
[ It's hard when she gets along pretty well with everyone, but hasn't necessarily hit it off extra had with anyone. It's why she can't really fault anyone for not picking her for this either. ]
How about you?
no subject
Confidence doesn't mean anything on it's own. [ ... ]
I have a thought. I'll share it next week.
no subject
[ You never know where the upsets are though... ]
Oh? Now you've got me curious, but if you're not interested in sharing, I'm not about to pry.
no subject
Timing's important. [ which is all he'll say because it is, but that's not the real reason he's not sharing.
but ultimately, he's an impulsive person, so. ]
no subject
[ A pause before she hoists herself back up, brushing off her knees a little. White pants and the ground don't go well together. ]
I'll just look forward to seeing what you end up deciding later, but more than that I'm looking forward to our date later. Let's hope they send us somewhere good.
[ Haha... ]
no subject
[ which we? it's fine.
and he is looking forward to it beyond his unfettered flirting. out of all the people he could have been paired with automatically, he's beginning to feel like he didn't draw too badly after all. ]
no subject
Darn right we will!
