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!"

THIS IS FINE ]

[ IT IS FINE. Nico nudges him with an elbow. ]

We knew this was a risk, non? The heart wants what it wants, and the showrunners want what they want. Now, we simply figure out the latter so that we all can go home happy.

[ He exhales a sigh for the dramatics, leaning just a little more into Nico's side. ]

...You're right. This actually tells us a lot of valuable information. Still...it would have been nice to be your match by the books, too.

[ At least this saves them from a truth booth crashout. ]
