week two | match ceremony
Tonight, we're back in the courtyard. It looks similar to last week with the slight exception, there is now a plush couch near the stage, and a single lantern already lit above the stage. There's still food, drinks, all sorts of things available for the contestants to snack on and enjoy.
On the stage is Wei Wuxian, looking presentable in his hanfu for today. He's busy twirling his flute in hand as he waits for the contestants to show up and find their places, and when they do he'll extend both arms out, welcoming the cast.
"Second match ceremony! You're exempt from a black out tonight because you've already found one of the matches."
He'll gesture to that couch from earlier, which seems to be The Special Seat for Ringo and Furina to sit at if they'd like.
"Now, we know how this goes so let's not delay anymore! Team Wangji, it's your turn to announce your matches!"

SELECTIONS
Feel free to have your characters react to these picks, as that's half the fun.
Luka
Alright, let's get started, shall we? Luka, tell me who you're picking!
[ Which means Luka stands up and turns to... Maya, of course! ]
"I hope you'll forgive me for doing what I do best. This is an expression of our hearts and mine was made for performing."
[ is he sorry. nah, he's not.
don't ask me how he got some of the crew to play along so he isn't singing acapella but maybe there are some alien stage hands now, idk. it's not a full song at least, so there's that! he's mindful of the time (only the time)
and music even if he's only singing the parts below enjoy or just kill him and me.]
"On rainy days, on lonely days
Fill me with your bright color
I’ll be better to you if you will be with me like this
On nights I want to rest, even on busy mornings
Prepare a place in your heart for me to rest
I’ll be better to you,
if you will share that heart with me
Now I believe
Lalalala I sing
I wanna say your name like this
Please hold my hand and walk with me
—Maya." [ was that too much? it was probably too much! he'll hold out his hand out to maya if she hasn't run out of the studio by now, with a smile (it's a real one. )
Though Maya, of course, has something to say as well.
Because her pick was also Luka. ]
"I'm still not that great at this sort of thing, but somehow, it's hard to leave you alone. There's a you beneath it all that I'm seeing more of, and I've got to say that I really like him!"
[ And off the two go to lock it in! Aw, that was... sweet? Yeah. ]

But after all that, she does take his hand. ]
This was overkill, though...!

Good for them... A little overdramatic for her tastes, but a lovely performance as ever. ]

He loves it. Aventurine approves. Get it, Luka. ]
Nico
Wei Wuxian claps his hands and beckons for Nico to come forward and make his choice. ]
Nico-gongzi, you're up!
[ And Nico comes forward to pick... Aventurine! ]
"I call him mon étoile, you know. “My star.” I was struck by the way he shines, no matter how dark it is around him. He is so charming and sweet, and I would very much like to burn brightly with him, together."
[ Wow... that's also very sweet. My star, huh? Well, lock it in, star boys. ]

You have such a way with words, as always...I rather feel like a moon when I'm around you. [ Reflecting the light of a sun. If he shines, it's surely only because of the man next to him now. ] Feeling lucky today, sunshine?

Serpilia
Serpilia! I've heard you're something of an angel. I don't know what an angel is but that's pretty cool!
[ Ok.
Anyway, Serpilia's pick is Edamura. ]
"I think our start was just a little bit rocky, so I'm glad you reached out and explained yourself better. You're a pretty good guy, and I'd like to spend a little more time with you regardless of if we're a match or not."
[ Wei Wuxian looks pleased about this. For Reasons. Don't worry about it. Either way, lock it in, cuties! ]

Messmer
Messmer! My favorite contestant! [ Yeah. ] Come, make your pick.
[ Yeah, okay. So, Messmer will come forth and pick... Verso. ]
"Noble Verso. Thy trust and kindness hath not fallen upon a listener unaware. Thou standest apart from thy kin." [ His voice has a touch of apology to it, despite his words. ] "There is much yet unknown to thee. Let us speak once more."
[ Wei Wuxian looks pleased by this. Again for reasons. Dwbi.
Lock it in, fellas! ]

Yingying
Yingying! I'm really excited to see who you pick.
[ He looooves her!!! Actually, at this point it's obvious Wei Wuxian just really likes everyone, isn't it... if everyone is his fave is no one his fave? The mystery.
Either way, Yingying picks Yi Sang, which isn't a surprise. ]
""In lake's surface, the moon reflects bright. Of the two, the sky's is prince of the night." See, I could be a poet, too. If I'm the spring, then you're the fall. Do you know what I'm trying to say? You're neither bright as the summer, nor bitter as the winter. But spring and autumn make for new beginnings — fresh blooms, and the plentiful harvest. The seasons will keep changing, and there will always be a new wish to make on the turn of the year, steadily moving the present from the past.
...I could say more, but you're a romantic without even realizing it, you know. My heart fluttered underneath the wisteria with you... so this time, I'll be the one to bravely ask you to not leave my side, sweetheart."
[ That's... so... cute. That's so cute. That's so cute!!!! What the hell!! ]
Ahhh!!!
[ Wei Wuxian is touched. Lock it in, lovelies. ]

Shoko
Ieiri Shoko-xiaojie! My second favorite doctor! [ Wait, second favorite? There's no other doctors here though — ] My first is someone from home, unfortunately for you. [ Oh, okay. ]
Anyway, come up and make your pick!
[ And Shoko's pick? Poppy. ]
"For science."
[ Which then, Wei Wuxian pouts a bit about. Is that it? Really? ]
Say more!
[ After a moment, Shoko adds: ]
"And because I want to, too. Things feel... lighter, when we're spending time together. It hasn't felt that easy for me in a while, so maybe that counts for something."
[ Okay, perfect. Wei Wuxian claps again. Lock it in, girlies! ]
