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.

Maybe it's just Furina who can break it down like this, in the way Ringo wanted to say but couldn't.]
"Love endures in the smallest things"...
[What a lovely way to put it. What a lovely thought. She wants to believe in that with all of her heart.
A beat, and then very suddenly:]
Hey--it doesn't have to be tonight, because I know it's getting late and you didn't sign up for that and it was just supposed to be me showing you a song, but.
... Would you go over some of the other ones with me sometime? [Some of the other songs she looked at.] It feels like... I understood this one better when you sang it.
[But also when Furina broke it down for her.]
no subject
That shouldn't be a problem if you're willing to listen closely. I've watched more musicals and operas than I've performed, but I can tell you a thing or two. [She places a hand to her chest, just over her heart.]
In the meantime, I'll enter this song into my repertoire. It'll bring the house down during the showcase of our talents.
...Not literally, of course, hehe. That's also an expression.
no subject
But she grins in response, slowly lighting up, because:]
Then that means I passed the test? Hell yeah! We can go on a date then, you and me!
no subject
Of course, that shall be your hard-earned reward for passing my challenge! Since your choice was so impressive this time, I leave it to you to bring us somewhere exceptional.
[She doesn't know any good date destinations...but she's not going to say it that way.]
no subject
Well.
Things to think about later. For now, there's a date to plan, and it's getting late
and Shay and Cal should really wrap up this thread.So, with clear enthusiasm and determination:]
Count on it! It'll be a blast for the both of us, trust me!
[And the date is sealed.]
