week three | mingle
No outright changes this week either. Week three rolls around, braced for impact as ever. The estate is still intact, the contestants are still motivated, things are looking good.
Well, aside from the fact you all had a blackout this weekend. That wasn't so good.
Either way, when Monday rolls around, Wei Wuxian seems to be in a cheery mood as he greets everyone Monday morning.
"Everyone, come here, come here. I have an announcement!"
Better go see what that's about, huh?

(frozen comment) PROPERTY DAMAGE, ETC
HAPPY PRIDE, AYTO
Okay, so production has given me a hint to share with you this morning. Probably because of... [ His smile falters for a bit and he clears his throat. ] You know.
[ The blackout. Whoops. ]
But! [ He bounces right back. ] It's a good one so listen up.
Of the eight pairings made between the sixteen of you all, six are same gender pairings and two are cross gender pairings. Of the six same gender pairings, three are men and three are women. That is your hint!
[ So, to put it in regular speak: that's 2 M/F, 3 F/F, and 3 M/M. ]
Hopefully this helps solidify things for you a bit more and carries you onto success in this upcoming week!
no subject
[ Exciting. There's so many women though. How does one possibly decide. ]
We've found one -- Furina and Ringo -- so that leaves two left for that end, and if our thoughts on Nicodème and Verso are found, that would leave two on that. So we're even across the board.
[ If, if is the key word, but. They seem confident, and so does everyone else, so. Odile wonders where she lies. Much to think on... ]

Hm? Is there something on my face?
[ At times, late at night, she's sprawled out on a couch in the living room apparently settled in for some kind of movie night, complete with popcorn and beer. Only that... she seems to have fallen asleep while watching. Better wake her up! (Or not) (Unless?) (Pick a movie, any movie!)
Otherwise, Shoko - both predictably and unfortunately - is at almost any given time sitting in or roaming about the gardens, smoking as per usual. It's not a habit she intended to return to after having just quit, nor did she particularly want to do this on the show, but here she is. ]
movie night
Miss Shoko.
[He tries the call of her name in his usual tone, which is soft. If she's too tired to stir, he won't bother her twice.]

third li'l thing
The present train hasn't stopped, but. This time. It is already set out and prepared for everyone -- "it" being a bunch of tea cups and a much larger mug for a certain ten foot friend, already steeped with a variety of teas along with ransom note-style cut outs of everyone's names and the type of tea they have.
Odile is not yelling and Rom may be uselessly hanging around with that ever-present owl look to him but whenever someone passes through-- ]
Sit and enjoy. We [ we who ] insist.
[ Do as she says, apparently. Odile has her own cup, and yes she's made some for Wei Wuxian too on the off chance he pops by. Tea time everyone. ]

A TRIP
The group will gather and be treated to a night at an onsen as a group. The entire place has been booked out for them exclusively and there will be a large table filled with (faaaaaancy) sushi and sake for them to partake in before they're instructed to wash up and change and head to the onsen.
Once they're in it, they're left to their own devices. Though, of course, they are still being filmed. But it should be a relaxing evening where they're all just given the opportunity to bond. In fact, once they're settled in the onsen, they will find a stack of envelopes. Sixteen envelopes with a card inside reading a single sentence.
That's it! Onsen night and ... embarrassing secrets?! After the night grows late and people are tired, the production crew will escort them back to the estate for a well-earned rest.
no subject
[ You know who isn't a coward?!
... Someone else who isn't Serpilia. She was told to bring a swimsuit, so she did. It's not even a remotely revealing one, so she might be one of the most covered up people at the Onsen right now.
Either way she's settling comfortably into the water and relaxing. She'll brighten up whenever she sees someone, and wave them over regardless of their own state of dress. ]
Come on it. The water's fine.
B.
[ She's looking at the cards right now, picking them up, reading them, putting them back kind of amused. ]
So the person who got the cops called on them is definitely Rom, right?
[ Not even being kind about it, whether she's right or not. ]

Catherded by an angel
So here is Serpilia climbing up onto the counter that started this all, cupping her hands around her mouth, and calling out in her biggest voice. ]
Hey! We need to talk about the Truth Booth!
[ And when enough people have made their way over to her. ]
Given how it was the only thing that saved us from a blackout last round, we need to be serious with this one.

match discussion catherding!
Ahh, excuse me everyone. A moment, please.
[ Once attention is acquired -- ]
Thank you, thank you. First things first, let's give Mr. Nico and Mr. Verso our best wishes and congratulations upon their return from the Truth Booth. How wonderful that they were, indeed, a perfect match as we'd hoped! Hardly a surprise, but a welcome confirmation nonetheless.
With that said -- let's please consider our path of action for tomorrow's ceremony. Now that we have two pairings confirmed, there's a quite a lot we can take into account, yes? Our dear overseer's hint regarding the ratios of different pairings, any patterns we've spotted thus far in the potential confirmations, the one remaining unconfirmed light from our first ceremony, so on and so forth. After this, we'll only have one more ceremony, so let's make the best of our chances.
For those choosing tomorrow, please examine your choices carefully. For those not, please see if you can offer any advice to those who are. I believe general consensus is that we should prioritize same-sex pairings and pairings within a group, despite the gamble of randomly-assigned pairings for those left over, but do remember that fulfilling those criteria is not mandatory. [ Pause. Maybe that was too serious. A little more brightly: ] ... may we make tomorrow's ceremony a good one, everyone!
[ Showmanship dictates that he has to end that spiel with a doff of the top hat and a half-bow before he hops off the counter and retrieves his handkerchief to go back to mingling. Show's over, everyone! Go on, start discussing!!! ]
no subject
Thankfully, all of those I may choose for tomorrow do fall within one or both of those criteria, and the chances that we once again produce nothing in the way of new lights -- should our confidence in Aventurine and Maya be proved once again -- is rather low regardless.
[ Given. They have many new thoughts in general, but. ]
... I do not know how much we can "logic" our way through it, but if what we can offer does not inspire ideas, then what does one feel they need?
[ ... Odile about to make herself so uncomfortable for everyone else's sake. ]
I-- [ A sigh. ] I suppose... someone that can balance my... "inability" to speak frankly from the heart might be taken into consideration, for example, whether it be one who can read it without my telling or... someone that might give me the space to do so at my own pace.
[ please she's doing the most for y'all rn ]
Someone who understands what it is to be "other", alone amidst a crowd, among those similar to them and yet distinctly apart for some reason. Which is why I think perhaps Yingying could be mine, just as well as Yi Sang.
[ Her Yiyis. Poppy does not count among that trait though she just likes the girl's spunk. ]

rager....2!!! (or no rager just have a nice friday night, either way)
My esteemed friends! [It's getting easier to say that. Furina beams a little at how simply it comes out.] Congratulations on another victory! Our chances of triumphing over this entire game are nearly guaranteed.
And congratulations to the pair certified by the Truth Booth today! I imagine it feels good to have your intuition validated in such a way... I know because I felt the same way.
What a shame we couldn't stay at the hot springs, hm? It would have made the perfect venue for our celebration this evening! Victories should be applauded, as long as we don't lose sight of the strategy we just proposed. [With a flourish to all of the people who have been putting their all into the discussion, like Rom, Odile, and Poppy. Heroes all!]
Speaking of proposals [not like that,] Aventurine has suggested live entertainment...physical activity...fireworks, or a bit of a swim to liven things up this time. If anyone knows of any creative social activities we haven't yet tried, this may be our final chance to enjoy them! Don't be shy about throwing them into the hat, as it were. [And Furina, who is really not much of a party-goer despite...all of this....would like all of the suggestions she can get. She's always been a tea party girlie.] Perhaps you can practice your talents for the showcase Ringo and I have planned for our final week together, hehe!
Ahem... To Nicodème and Verso! And to all of us!
[Y'all know the drill. Go be sloppy. Furina will be around to be social and bright for at least the first part of the night.]
a thing dwbi
[Later in the night, Furina is definitely bubbly from all of the bubbly, and she has a very fun and good and clever plan to enact.
Enter Furina, stage left, on the side garden of the estate. With sotto voice, she gestures to the smaller, shittier personal sauna displaced by the Costco delivery of the extremely expensive wooden one that landed earlier today.]
All I'm saying is that so long as they have the designer one here, there's no need for two portable steam relaxation chambers at one house! Besides, there will be four of us on the other estate, and we have no need of a six-person one. It's only fair. [She monologues, quite convincingly, in case she's overheard by mic or camera or passerby.]
