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?

Souvenirs?

[ She looks very interested... maybe even trying to peek in the bag prematurely.... ]

[poans]

Mm.

[It's full of balloon animals and objects. He pulls out one such balloon in the (somewhat deformed and sad) shape of a flower bracelet from another bag and holds it out.]

This one is yours, Miss Yingying.

[embellwish]

Huh?

[ She is taking it and turning it this way and that, amazed by the foreign, alien material. They're flowers? A flower ring??? ]

Where did you get this, sweetheart?

[poans]

It was crafted by Miss Maya and I at a seminar for clowns.

[It's a wonder he didn't pass out halfway. Maya was the truest clown in that class.]

[embellwish]

You two made this?

[ THAT.... IS SO.... CUTE!!!!!!!!!11111 ]

You even thought of flowers when you made mine, [ This little balloon might be sad and kind of deflated, but she's delighted, and putting it on her wrist anyway. She shan't be taking it off anytime soon, either. ] I can't believe you two spent your date so hard at work!

[poans]

[Oh, she's put it on.]

At a minimum, we were each required to craft one piece before we could be dismissed. As we were attending for some time, the idea was conceived to spend it on creating various sculptures.

[Most of them are shoddy; however, the thought was there.]

[embellwish]

And you both thought of something special for everyone... I'm impressed!

[ She'll have to bother Maya about this too. For the time being, though, she freely gives praise where it's due, totally genuine. When was the last time she really received a gift from anyone? Between this and the small cake decoration, it's like a holiday. She's touched, no matter how silly it is. Teasing: ]

Are you trying to get on everyone's good side, hmmm?

[poans]

[Maya did most of the work, though it's true that Yi Sang did what he could, if unhelpfully. The balloon and his lungs would just not cooperate . . . ]

The nature of a souvenir is that of a gift, not a bribe.

[He would never.]
