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?

Low-hanging fruit. Don't I feel special.

[He's kidding.]

[hexensabbat]

[She just beams at him.]

Awww, Verso, it just means we're all really confident about hinging our bets on you!

[reverso]

Thanks. No pressure.

[But there is a marked difference between this truth booth's discussion and last week's where Verso's demeanor is concerned.]

I do think placing our bets in a way to shield us from another blackout should be the priority, though. Regardless of what information is gleaned where.

[hexensabbat]

[More sincerely:]

That mean you're up for going in this week?

[reverso]

Oh, I'll still have nerves about it, of course, but...

[He nods.]

Yes. I'll go if that's what everyone decides on.

[hexensabbat]

Cool. You've got this, Verso.

And hey, remember! You won't be alone up there.

[reverso]

Right. All of you are cheering us on from afar, right? I'd better hear our names being chanted all the way from the booth itself if we get voted in.

[irreversal]

[ Remembering their conversation from last week— ]

See? You're facing it head on now, Verso. I told you.

[ She knew he wouldn't avoid it like his mother would have, when it came down to it. ]

[reverso]

Thank you, Shoko. You had more faith in me than I did.

[But hey. He's doing it.]

Apple does fall far from the tree... with enough effort, right?

[irreversal]

[ He's doing it!! ]

Yeah. You just have to keep rolling further and further away.

[ this analogy... ]

It might be whoo right now, but you it might whee once you find out the truth, no matter what it ends up being.

[crimsin]

[ Bumps shoulders with him. ]

We are in the same boat, merle. How brave are you feeling?

[reverso]

The idea's still a rather intimidating one, but that was never going to change.

[That was just, like. The default.]

I'm keeping my word. If the consensus is for us to go, then I've no problem with it.

[crimsin]

I am glad to hear it. If our instincts are right, then I am more than happy to serve as a safety net for everyone's wishes.

[nrangel]

[ If the fruit is big enough, then it'll hang low. That's nothing at all to feel ashamed about.

This comment is not going to be deleted, even though it's not being said out loud. Serpilia is thinking it and just giving him a mysterious smile she will not be explaining, but she thinks he might get at this point. ]

[reverso]

[MA'AM THERE ARE MORE IMPORTANT MATTERS TO BE THINKING ABOUT RIGHT NOW 😭]

[nrangel]

[ She's a multi-tasker, Verso. ]
