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!"

[ Wei Wuxian is here and ready2go. He feels invigorated. It might be because he keeps saying the word Wangji. But whatver. He's going to get to the stage and get ready to for the first pick which... happens to be 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. ]

[ She probably should have seen this coming. She really should have seen this coming. She has to press a hand over her face for a second because this is not something journalists have to usually deal with.

But after all that, she does take his hand. ]

This was overkill, though...!

[ he laughs, light and squeezes her hand. ]

Was it? I needed to make sure you could hear me.

[ he says this but he'd be this obnoxious anyway... smh. ]
