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?

[ hey it's your resident idol who's actually a huge math nerd. he'll whistle to get everyone's attention, since he's not into feeling tall. ]

I've said it before, but I'll summarize.

If the intention is to solve for full pair completion, Nico and Verso contribute more to a full solve than Aventurine and Maya.

Testing Aventurine and Maya is tempting because it deals with known exclusions, with only two mixed pairs left. But mixed pairs make up only 25% of total pairs, which is basically solving a corner piece of a puzzle without knowing the shape of the rest of it.

The foundation of the pairs are same gender pairings and we don't have much time left to address them. By testing them now, we can get a better sense of the majority structure of the puzzle—which we need to get started on.

The logic feels sound to me, Luka-san. I agree with sending Nico and Verso in.

Though I can't but wonder, [ teasingly ] if you're trying to keep Maya out of the booth for personal reasons.

[ he grins. ]

Isn't it lucky that my biases line up with logic and reasoning?

[ he's just this good

somehow

idk hes just luka. ]

[this was her suspicion too, but she likes Luka so she just grins and doesn't say anything.]

[irreversal]

[ he sure is. ]

One way or another, we'll have to test Aventurine and Maya as a match. What are you going to do then?

[beatmatching]

In the truth booth? Next week it'll likely make sense to test a same gender pair we have more information on.

If you mean in the ceremonies, obviously. So what? The matches don't mean anything beyond winning the game.

I guess I don't really get it, but. . . I'll trust you.

But I still think I'm personally going with my gut.
