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?

come get y'all's costco snacks (and tb rubbernecking)

[gamboler]

[ Team Shokoven has a veritable mountain of snacks for Truth Booth rubber necking today, courtesy of their Costco trip. They've got bulk muffins, cookies, nuts, fruit snacks, Costco $1.50 Hot Dogs, fruit, garlic bread, one of those giant cheesecakes, you name it. There's also a sauna just outside the back door now? Don't worry about it. ]

Friends! How wonderful for you to join us on this most auspicious of days. No doubt we have a show in store for us, so please, enjoy yourselves and indulge aplenty! We have sooo little time left, better to make the most of it while you still can!

[ Look at how normal he's being! He's being sooo normal right now. ]

[ordimame]

[staring at the sauna]




What is this?

[irreversal]

It's a sauna.

[ duh ]

[gamboler]

For those brave enough to go nude.

[ don't let him make the rules ]

[hexensabbat]

[So... normal......

She just flops down next to him, arms crossed, squinting a little.]

... You bummed out it's not you up there?

[gamboler]

[ A slight roll of a shoulder. Look how unaffected he is! ]

No, this is probably for the best. I would have put on a show, and Miss Maya doesn't deserve that.

[hexensabbat]

Maya can handle anything you could throw at her and then some, so bzzt, try again.

[But she's grinning at him as she says it.]

Or we can save the emotional chatting for later, if you're too shy.

[irreversal]

[ sus.... ]

You're being kind of weird.

[gamboler]

[ Avert thy gaze... ]

...No I'm not.

[irreversal]

[ She looks out at everyone else... ]

...Everyone can tell, you know. You don't have to pretend you're not.

[scooptimistic]

[ Maya with a Costco Hot Dog, also nudging shoulders with him. ]

Well, aren't you just a little ball of anxiety?

[gamboler]

[ His mouth thins into a line. ]

Oh, I'm only jealous that it could have been you and me up there, putting on a grand show.

[enscene]

[buddy you can't wrip a page out of the playbook of furina and not expect her not to notice and stare at you like this.




while mowing down a slice of cheesecake]

[gamboler]

[ listen they share the same playbook...

Meeting her gaze unflinching as he just shoves a muffin in his mouth. This is the weirdest telepathic queer conversation. ]

[irreversal]

[ i miss furina so ]

Furina-saaaan. What does merle mean?

[fireball]

[ So normal. And hey, she's kind of been living this for the past week! Not quite exactly this, but close enough that she thinks she can relate!

Grabs a $1.50 hot dog. Gives Aventurine a friendly little elbow nudge. ]

Soooo, what're you having?

[ c'mon man it's time to eat your feelings ]

[gamboler]

[ He turns to Poppy, with two Costco muffins. One in each hand. ]

I can already feel the crash and nap I'll need later just looking at these.

[ He continues to do great. ]

[researcherstory]

[ So, so normal. But worry not. Odile is Also being normal! Absolutely preem. Look at her, not touching the cup of tea she made and instead sorting the fruit snacks by what she believes are similar colors! The lime green and watermelon green are, unfortunately, being put together. ]

Soon enough, our "vacations" will be at an end... is it too soon to ask what each of us intends for our future after?

[hexensabbat]

Way too soon! That'll bring down the mood!

[Ma'am....... you're Sorting.]

[beatmatching]

[ hot dogs... i wish luka would want a costco hotdog but alas, he does not.

he does however take a tiny pack of fruit snacks, holding the bag in his hands without opening them. if you catch him staring longingly at one of the giant cheesecakes, no you don't.

he's hanging out wherever maya is because this is just where he lives now, but he seems to be in a pretty good mood! ]

[embellwish]

[ she sees you eyeing that cheesecake longingly.... she has a forkful of it in hand, and holds it up to his lips expectantly. As ever, like him, she can be forward and assertive, sometimes leaving little room for pushback. ]

Say ahh...

[embellwish]

[ She is stretched out on the couch like usual, propping her head up with an elbow on the arm rest. Instead of eating, she's content to just ask other contestants what each treat and snack are... after all, wtf is a hot dog.

Anyway, watching Aventurine's bravado, her smile is knowing. ]

There's nothing wrong with feeling a certain way, you know.

[ she'll even show mercy and speak quietly, not define what exactly he might be feeling. Insecure? Jealous? A secret third thing??? ]

[researcherstory]

[ Yingying... and Odile's fruit snack sorting. She'll hold out a strawberry. ]

Flavorful gelatin shaped to look like various fruits. They're favored by children for their sweetness, which is precisely what I dislike about them.

[ It's just something to idly do as they watch the booth unfold, though. ]

I believe you'll like them, however, unless you'd prefer my touch instead.

[ ... It wasn't really hard to figure out which Yingying's might be, just on the basis of elimination. ]

[gamboler]

[ Can it be all of the above? It's definitely all of the above. ]

There is when it means the audience can read you...

[ And yet, he still had to be a dramatic bitch about it, as is his way. ]

[irreversal]

[ Shoko opens a new bag of snacks just for Yingying. ]

Wanna try? You said you like fried foods.
