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!"

[ A standard. It would be difficult to say Verso is wrong per se, but he wonders if it's so simple.

After a pause, plainly: ] I've never considered another path until I got here, where I'm now finding it being recommended to me. But it's like, say, growing up somewhere where the sky is green, and being told by people that you quite like that the sky is actually blue, because it is to them.

[To know only one thing, being faced with another option must be... strange. He thinks he can understand.]

And would it be so bad to humor them and their sky-blue world? If you don't like it, you could always return to how things were.
