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?

[ the doomed shoko yuris..... ): ]

Given all of that, then, who are you considering for tomorrow?

[fireball]

[ a little smile for her. ]

I'm... not sure. If I am matched with a woman then it's probably Serpilia? But if not then... maybe Edamura or Rom. They're two of the better ones.

[irreversal]

Hmmm...

Not that my opinion matters here, but you do get along with those three, right? They seem like solid picks to me.

[ sorry serpilia, wherever she is, ]

[fireball]

No, your opinion can totally matter. I think I'd value it, as a matter of fact.

[ Things VERY few people hear from her. Anyway. ]

But yeah, I get along with all of them. So any of them could be a good fit! Which both helps me with tomorrow, and also doesn't, because I still have to. Actually pick.

[ womp womp ]

[irreversal]

[ Oh, Poppy... She can't help but smile at that. ]

Asides from getting along with them, do you have other reasons for wanting to pick them? Talk me through them.

[fireball]

[ ... reasons other than getting along. right. She should actually consider that, right, ]

Okay, well... with Serpilia, it's just so easy being around her? We've already got really similar interests, so we'd have plenty to talk about or do together. Like maybe we could cheer each other on or offer advice, but even if we weren't working, I think we could just... hang out. Like get pizza and watch a movie and do absolutely nothing hang out. That'd be cool.

Edamura, um... I feel like we're really similar. [ Remembering Odile's words up above: ] I don't know about thinking about what I might need, but it's been nice, just being around him? I almost feel like he's the male version of me, so maybe that's a point against us, but it's been nice hanging out with him when we do. Almost like it's been stabilizing, you know? Since so many people here are so... different.

[ Present company both included and excluded, of course. ]

And Rom, um. He's kind of a major freakazoid, but in a way that's almost endearing? We like some of the same stuff too, and he's a major dork with the self-promoting, but he's not bad at it, and that's... being able to put yourself out there like that, it's, it's a good quality as long as it works. So. I could see it.

[irreversal]

[ of all the things for Shoko to latch on to, here, ]

Wait... Why is Shindou a freakazoid? It's not because of his profession, is it? He and I are practically coworkers, you know...

[fireball]

[ without even missing a beat, grinning: ]

If I'd met you wearing a hat like that I'd have probably been calling you one too.

[irreversal]

[ you know what, ]

Okay, fair.

But I see what you mean about everything you said. Edamura, especially. And that he's like the male version of you, heh.

[fireball]

Hahaha, yeah, he is.

[ thinking... ]

Maybe I shouldn't choose him, then... maybe I should think more outside the box.

[ Her Pingpings... ]

[irreversal]

Outside the box, huh...

[ thinking... ]

You've never really considered Yingying, have you?

[fireball]

[ gesturing at absolutely nothing ]

Have you seen her?? I am not in her league.

[irreversal]

[ . . . ]

Have you seen Yi Sang?

1/2

[fireball]

2/2

[fireball]

I am in her league!

[irreversal]

[ help, she's so cute. ]

Heh. Exactly.

[fireball]

[ pacing. pacing. pacing...

turns back to Shoko to grab her by the shoulders, eyes wild with revelation. ]

Shoko. Do you think. Do you think, [ and she is not going to finish that sentence, because it seems pretty obvious where this is headed.

She has an idea, oh no. ]
