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!"

[ Then just as abruptly, he brings a hand up to muffle his lav mic. Leaning in so close he's practically whispering in Edamura's ear -- too quiet for the nearby cameras to catch clearly, and hopefully mostly evading the capture of Edamura's lav mic. ]

Imagine seeing those game show overlays all the time, everywhere. They contain information -- important information, information which can be used to keep people safe and avoid danger. But nobody else can see them. If you speak of these overlays, 95% of the population will think you insane. The remainder might believe you, but only because they themselves want to buy into the delusion. The overlays are almost all horrific, and if you acknowledge them in the wrong way, you will die. But if you don't address them at all -- then others will fall to harm, or die. You must decide what to do -- almost certainly alone.
