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!"

[ And after that... performance, let's get to something more normal. Like our resident vampire!

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. ]

[. . . French people can be cute. . .]

[ There's a bit of a pause, as though Maya's being Thoughtful.

But then she shakes her head with a little smile and claps!! You go, boys!! ]

[He gives a little smile, clapping. Good for them.]

[ Even despite the previous evening, he's still somehow surprised to hear his name, but in a way that shakes loose his cool composure and allows a bright, buoyant smile to break through. He is absolutely strutting as he makes his way up to Nico's side. ]

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?

[ As easy as anything, Nico reaches out to take Aventurine's hand. ]

Always, mon étoile. Especially with your hand in mine.

[ And just as easily, he weaves their fingers together, offering Nico's hand a squeeze. ]

Couldn't have said it better myself. Well, let's give them a good show.

[ Stepping up to lock tf in!!!! ]
