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?

[is that supposed to be a secret that is, in fact, what Edamura is assuming she did. he did it with the capsule toys!!]

It's pretty thoughtful of you.

[looking over towards the LINGERING OWL MAN]

. . . the both of you?

[researcherstory]

[ ... Heh. ]

Before Rom downplays himself, yes -- both of us. It was his idea to bring back more than what I wanted, in fact.

[ Not directly, but she can absolutely spin it as she pleases. ]

[phenomerom]

[ HUH ]

It wasn't ...

[ Sounding a little bemused by this. ]

I don't even like tea very much, Edamura-san. This was all Miss Odile's idea. All I did was carry them. She spent quite a bit of effort into choosing the teas, so I hope everyone will enjoy them.

[researcherstory]

[ Right! His foot is being stepped on. ]

If you hadn't handed me that basket, I wouldn't have thought to take more than what these frail arms of mine could carry. Sincerely. Don't be so modest about your part in this, Rom.

[phenomerom]

[ Wah ........ just lets this foot-steppy happen with no change to his expression, though. ]

Then. I will take full credit for the noble task of carrying the basket for you, Miss Odile. An incredible job, if I say so myself.

[ordimame]

[. . . watching as Odile steps on his foot. . .]

I think she's bullying you.

[phenomerom]

[ Just. Letting it happen. ]

Nooo, kindly, generous Miss Odile would never do something so callous!

[ordimame]

[SIR. . .]

I suppose your foot doesn't beg to differ?

[phenomerom]

Hm?

[ Looking down, as if he just noticed. ]

Oh, that's just a little mistake. Nothing to worry about.

[ordimame]

[uh huh]

[just makes aggressive eye contact and takes a slow sip of his tea]

[ordimame]

[watching as Rom denies his involvement—]

I get the feeling it's less that he helped and more that you dragged him into it.

[researcherstory]

He didn't hinder me.

[ And so he helped. ]

[ordimame]

[simply!!]

That's a very devious game of semantics you're playing, Odile.

[researcherstory]

[ Wow!!! ]

You should learn from Rom, Edamura, and respect your elders a little better.

[ordimame]

No.
