week three | mingle

[marriagebroker]

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?

another li'l thing

[ordimame]

[heads up everyone!! Edamura's impressive voice is echoing from the gardens outside the mansion, loud enough to be heard from inside!! unless someone is too far inside, but whatever]

HEEEEEEY! EVERYONE, COME GET YOUR CAPSULE TOYS!!

[anyone who investigates will see that he is not alone! Maya stands with him as they both hold handfuls of cut capsule toys]

[irreversal]

[ . . . . . ]

Did Maya spend all her dates this week getting gifts for everyone else?

[researcherstory]

So far, it would appear so.

[ Why didn't THEY go out and get presents for everyone-- ]

[irreversal]

Making the rest of us look so selfish... [ a fake sigh!! ]

[beatmatching]

[ shaking his head. ]

I gave her something during ours.

[irreversal]

[ does she want to know . . . yeah she does ]

Oh? That's thoughtful of you, Luka. What was it?

[ordimame]

We did more than just hoard capsule toys! I promise.

[THEY TALKED!]

[irreversal]

Good boy.

[ and now... she has her lil prezzie, but she just kind of looks at him knowingly. As if she is saying—

neshiteru? ]

Heh. I like it. Thanks, you two.

[embellwish]

Hm?!

[ oh... itty bitty pastries and snakes... SO CUTE ]

They're.... decorations?

[scooptimistic]

They're gashapon--sort of like little toys or ornaments. We spent... way too much time nabbing all of these.

[ She seems proud, though. ]

[ordimame]

Yeah!

[that's a good use for them!!!]

They come from capsule machines. You put in a coin, turn a knob, and then-- pop! One comes out.

The contents are completely random.

[researcherstory]

[ maya, girl-- ]

A rabbit?

[ Does she seem rabbitish. Hello. ]

[ordimame]

It's a tea rabbit. The fork is for tea cakes, and-- look, isn't the crown pretty cute?

[so enthused]

[beatmatching]

Is this bread?

[ idk how he got this capsule open so fast but he is about to put the coronet snake in his mouth. ]

[scooptimistic]

Whoa!! Hold on, it's not real bread!! It's just shaped like it!

[ordimame]

[. . . . . . . HELP]

. . . it's plastic!

[phenomerom]

[ He is. Gently squeezing his lil mameshiba??? ]

... thank you, but what is this?

[ordimame]

[it's squishy!! and cute!!!]

A capsule toy. You now--! From those coin machines?

[Rom is a content creator surely he knows what gachapon is]

[hexensabbat]

Whoaaaa, cute!

Hey, thanks, guys!

[THRILLED.]

[ordimame]

[thrilled that she is thrilled!!]

They're collector's items. Take good care of it, all right?

[enscene]

Oh! It's so tiny and cute! An actual petit gâteau. [Petit gâteau is different from this traditional sort of Chantilly-looking cake, but she can't resist the cute terminology even if it isn't perfectly correct.]

This is the perfect little trinket to put on display in our room! It must have taken substantial effort to win them all.

[ordimame]

Petty wha. . .?

[the man lived in France for a [mumble mutter] period of time and never learned French]

. . . but yeah! That's the idea. I like to keep mine on my shelves.

[no comment on how much money it took. . . gacha is suffering]

[gamboler]

[ Holding up the lil capsule cake in his palm and giving it a little poke... ]

Another gift? Aha, thank you! [ . . . ] What does it...do?

[scooptimistic]

It's for decorative, sentimental purposes. Rejoice.

[ordimame]

It just looks cute.
