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?

[ Right. He was kind of expecting that. ]

Of course. I suppose there's also the danger of trying to attain a blackout, only to fail ... One incorrect guess at a blackout that nets us a light with no idea of which unorthodox pairing was the correct answer would only muddy the waters, wouldn't it.

Not a risk worth taking at this point.

Yeah, exactly.

[She's nodding along. Rom's really a pleasure to talk about this stuff with, and not just because it's cute when he's having emotions inside over it.]

Better we make an earnest stab at it, utilizing everything we know up to this point, and see how the chips fall.

[ One soft breath. That's all he needs to calm himself back down. (Mostly? He thinks? As best as he can? It unnerves him how much this game has thrown him off his usual equilibrium.) His demeanor's back to being perfectly opaque when he nods. ]

Understood. Then -- I'll do my best to cooperate along those lines.

[A fond smile at that. If she sees anything at all, she says nothing.]

Wasn't worried about you, Rom.

But thanks. Looking forward to what we learn tomorrow! It's gonna be great!

[phenomerom]

Oh? I appreciate the trust, Miss Ringo. I'll have to do my best not to disappoint.

[ Followed by an ominous little laugh, because he needs to do something in his usual flavor to feel more grounded. -- okay, he's feeling better now. ]

Here's to hoping tomorrow will be kind to us.
