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!"

[. . . he is pretty sure he already has an answer to that. he is almost certain that nothing that happens here will change his mind, either. his world is so dreadfully normal compared to everyone else's that he legitimately cannot comprehend what a wish as powerful as the one the producers are offering could do for it]

[but. . . she is certain, too. and he asked her to think it over. so it's only fair. . . if he does the same]

All right. I will.

[genuinely!]

But when all of this is over, if I haven't come up with a different answer of my own. . . then I'll ask you again.

Is that fair?
