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?

[ Her grin just pulls wider. She is not remotely chastised. ]

You've gotta be aware you're a really good looking guy, right?

[reverso]

[Aha... She really is shameless. But Verso is fond of Serpilia, so good for her.]

I've gotten the occasional compliment.

[From before the Fracture. Now he's just kind of a skrunkly loser lone wolf guy, who had been lucky to see people for any extended amount of time for years.]

But I'm more than just a piece of meat! I've talent and a sense of humor, too!

[nrangel]

Mmhmm. And feelings too.

[ Her expression softens a little, and the teasing will stop (for now). ]

Which now that I've subtly and artfully brought those up... how are you feeling right now?

[ Last week felt like it was ending pretty rough, but they're partway through a new one. Hopefully things are better for him? ]

[reverso]

[Serpilia... Verso smiles, too, appreciative.

Overall, he appears to be in better spirits than he was last week. Uncertainties might have shifted elsewhere, but they are not as all-encompassing, so progress is progress.]

I'm feeling... better about things. Airing out my dirty laundry now and then has helped; imagine that! Being honest isn't always so bad.

[It's been at varying degrees, but still. He doesn't want to leave this place with any regrets.]

I want to help us all win. I think we can manage it, too. It's what happens... after that I'm trying figure out.

[nrangel]

[ Her smile brightens at his reassurance, though her laugh sounds a little strained itself at the comment about honesty. Yeah... it'd helped her a little too though. Not that she's been open about everything, and certainly not with everyone. ]

Where you go after this, you mean? And with who if anyone?

[reverso]

[She gets it. That said, Verso has always been a bit comfortable talking with her, so he says the next with ease.]

...That's right. And telling myself it's okay if I do decide to do that.

[nrangel]

It's definitely okay, you know? Regardless of your situation, you get to make choices like that for yourself.

[ She says that, and yet...

Well, she's making a choice for herself too at the end of the day. ]

[reverso]

Yeah. I'm starting to think so, too...

[And that's a big shift for him, slow as it has been.]

What about you? What are your grand plans?

[nrangel]

Hmmm. I guess make sure all my detective talk on day one isn't just for show, figure this out for everyone, secure the wishes, and...

[ A small, nonchalant shrug as she finishes this off. ]

Go home.
