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?

[ Wow. ]

Which one is yours? Mister "Got Cut In Front Of" or "Grey Hair"?

[ Edamura's hair is "black" (lightless) enough, thank you. ]

[ordimame]

[immediately crumbles the card he is holding into a small wrinkled ball]

Oh, I bet you're dying to know.

[researcherstory]

Absolutely. Two have already learned mine, but I am quite confident in their confidentiality.

[ And yes, this means she isn't telling him. ]

No friends? Macaroni? Perhaps you're our suspicious fellow, rather than Rom?

[ordimame]

[he ain't sharing, either!!]

Keep throwing blind darts and you'll just keep missing, Odile. Let me have my secrets.

[researcherstory]

... I suppose I can let you have one. All I'll have to do is ask Laurent which was correct, after all. He'd hardly turn down the question from a charming woman, I'm sure.

[ Her new bestie Laurent. ]

1/2

[ordimame]

[the way he is gonna kick Laurent's ass when he gets home and it won't even be Laurent's fault]

[ordimame]

I'm keeping my mouth shut.

[EVEN THAT THREAT CANNOT FAZE HIM]

[researcherstory]

[ Damn. ]

A pity. I thought that would scare you into admittance. [ SHE'S JUST SAYING IT. ] Enjoying yourself otherwise, Edamura? You seem as if you could really use the soak, with how high strung you are.

[ordimame]

I'm not— [H. . . hey]

[. . .]

Do I really come off as high strung?

[yes]

[researcherstory]

[ Bluntly: ]

As a horse.

[ordimame]

[opens his mouth to argue and say that he just has COMPLETELY NORMAL REACITONS to things that are overwhelming for a totally average person like him, tyvm--]

[. . . and then shuts it again with an exasperated huff]

If that's the case, then you won't see a hint of "high strung" Edamura here. Nobody can be stressed while spending time at an onsen.

[researcherstory]

Exactly. Now be a dear and fetch some sake, so that neither of us can be called such.

[ Get tipsy make mistakes wallow in your drink!!!!! ]

[ordimame]

[do you think he is relaxed enough to mAKE TIPSY MISTAKES]

. . . I'm only agreeing because I want some, too!

[jabbing a finger at her]

And because I'm a nice guy.

[researcherstory]

[ HE CAN BECOME IT? KISS A SNAKE EDAMURA ]

Yes, yes, a very well-mannered young man. We can play our own fun little game with it.

[ordimame]

[literally or. . .]

Oh yeah?

[thank god the sake is nearby so he can grab it and return to her relatively quickly. it only takes him a second to pour her a cup, even]

What kind of game?

[researcherstory]

[ yeah ]

We've exhausted most of them, haven't we? And there's little I wouldn't tell you now.

[ That she can admit. One on one. Odile takes her cup with an incline of her head, humming softly. ]

... You decide.

[ordimame]

[giving her a small side-eye, before he just]

[kicks his head back]

[downs the sake in one go]

[slams his cup down]

[and immediately goes for more]

Two truths and a lie.
