week two | match ceremony

[marriagebroker]

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!"

[ Gotta give points for consistency. Rom is once more ambling in dressed in gothy finery, his usual top hat included. A little nod and a tip of the hat to anyone whose eyes he meets. ]

It'd be nice if things turned out as well as they did last week.

[hexensabbat]

Whoa, Rom! Looking good!

[She even fingerguns. Sorry.]

[phenomerom]

[ You know what, he's gonna blink and then fingergun back. Only one hand though. A special treat because Ringo is just that charming. ]

Thank you, Miss Ringo. I'd say the same for you, except you're always looking striking.

[hexensabbat]

Flatterer. [She says, while being flattered.]

Guess we can just say everyone looks good, every week!

[glancing at him from nearby]

Even if it's not, we'll still learn something, won't we?

[phenomerom]

Certainly. Hopefully we'll have a better idea of how to proceed after this, with everyone having taken a turn on stage ...

[ Pause. Oh, right. ]

Ah, and you're looking sharp, Edamura-san. You really are suited to formal wear.

[ordimame]

[. . . he said something similar last week, didn't he. . . . . . . .]

Maybe. . .! But it's really a pain to wear on a daily basis, you know?
