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!"

[ Tricking birds...

Oh, this is... not great, though. Poppy is pretty used to running roughshod over other people's feelings (because she knows they'll do that to her, so if she does it first then she wins and can't get hurt), but Serpilia doesn't deserve that (Serpilia hasn't done that to her. She's doing the exact opposite of that, right now). Seeing the way her face falls, like she's just as despondent...

Possibly for her, and that's a whole new thing to have to contend with. Poppy finds herself internally floundering before reaching out for a lifeline, which just so happens to be Serpilia's hands. ]


I mean... you guys will, so it'll be cool, right? And... and who knows, maybe you're right, that there's time to keep exploring too.

[ Maybe she should go find Shoko at some point... ]
