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!"

If nothing else, I'm sure we can secure the location for the final two weeks. It has to have been booked for the show's entire run already, so I'd just have to procure the use of the reservation.

[ERGO, she can just argue that the space is already theirs to use, and they can have talent shows, barbecues, board game nights, and parties until their inevitable and bittersweet parting. Good. Furina gets more confident and speaks a little faster as she has something to be confident about that surely won't be disrupted by anything else that could happen today.]

Then it's settled. I'm glad my invitation convinced you. I'd miss the chance to see you if we were so close and yet separated, while we have the chance.

[It's still difficult for her to reach out to people who have no reason to be in her business all that often. Even now, she wonders if Serpilia would rather have nothing to do with her, now that it would only be because she wants to see her and not because it might be useful for the show.]

[ Imagine something as lovely as that instead of what will end up happening to them instead.

But Furina's rambling is cute, and Serpilia smiles while she lets her just go. Keeping it light and breezy and very platonic. ]

You think I'm that wrapped up in the game? We're trying to find our matches and all, but it's not like we're aren't making friends here at the same time. Besides, if I had to exclusively speed date the entire time I was here, I think I'd lose my mind a little.
