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?

If you would prefer, I can choose one instead. Yi Sang has my favor in that regard and it would open up a randomized pair as well.

[ So, you know. Since it's on them. They can teamwork this. ]

[fireball]

Hmmmm.

[ Thinking. If she wants to condemn herself to Yi Sang... ]

We could do that. You wanna go for it? We got some wiggle room since we got a match today.

[researcherstory]

[ Dooming myself to having to think of words for Yi Sang again. ]

Certainly. And if I may offer a suggestion, if you are willing to hear it out? You needn't agree, but it couldn't hurt whilst we ride upon the high of today's victory. Tomorrow is your own choice regardless.

[fireball]

[ ... looks down. at the candies. ]

I mean, I still think trying to get as much data as we can is the best bet.

[researcherstory]

Consider it testing a theory if nothing else. And again, you needn't allow yourself to be swayed simply by my word. [ Choose who you want. ] That said, how do you feel about Serpilia as a potential?

[ She's got thoughts about it don't worry. Like they aren't the Greatest Minds thoughts but it's a real simple point a point b to her. ]

[fireball]

[ oh no wait this feels super validating all of a sudden. ]

I think if I'm matched with a woman then it probably is with her, yeah.

[ A beat. ]

... If you're going to fall on the dude sword for us, then I should probably pick her.

[ but she's like. happy about the possibility. ]

[researcherstory]

[ Oh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!




Odile's point a to point b is working. She's similarly pleased. ]

Let's aim for near-perfect tomorrow, then. I doubt any point and pick Wei Wuxian does on his end is worth considering.

[fireball]

[ wait if Odile is pleased about the same thing Poppy is pleased about... hmm!! validating!! ]

We are trying to force them to put Shoko and Yingying together in that case, though.

[ Shoko ending up with the prettiest lady... a bit of Insecurity there but also, like. She can see it. The attractiveness. ]

[researcherstory]

I wonder how well it might work. That is a quandary for tomorrow, but tonight we should relax.

[ With knowledge of their... picks.

... ]

You needn't worry about Shoko's apparent adoration of you fading any, regardless. I believe Yingying's eyes turn elsewhere.

[ At least not at Shoko anyway. ]

[fireball]

[ pause. ]

Well, uh. Thanks.

[ small smile. Maybe Odile is cool after all... ]

And you're right... We'll see how it all goes tomorrow.

[nrangel]

[ Near perfect if Poppy picks her tomorrow. She wonders........

Well, they're safe from a blackout no matter what, and Serpilia could always be wrong about her own suspicions here. Besides, no matter who Poppy's match is she knows who she personally wants to see Poppy with, and they already know that's not a Perfect Match.

So she will simply say nothing and just stand not too far away while a smile on her face.

It'll be fine.

Probably. ]

[fireball]

[ !

Sees Serpilia standing nearby.

Offers her a little smile and wave, oblivious. Hi friend!! ]

[nrangel]

[ Awww, Poppy. Her smile at least feels more natural now as she waves back. She really does want good things for this girl, even if she doesn't think they're a match. She wouldn't be able to be the good thing for her even if they were though. ]
