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?

[ hello verso! ]

How was it?

[reverso]

[Hi Luka!]

Hey. Not as bad as I thought it was going to be. [It did help that he sorted his shit a little beforehand. He feels a little drained from it now, though.] Happy to net us another win, too.

[beatmatching]

It's a useful confirmation to have.

With that and the ceremony tomorrow, the remaining combinations should be narrowed down by a fair bit.

[reverso]

Right. And with the help of the hint we’ve gotten, it’s all a process of elimination now, isn’t it?

So, does that mean you’re feeling confident?

[beatmatching]

About my own match?

No.

In general? Yes.

[reverso]

Ha. I suppose that’s about as good as we can hope for.

Do you have any inklings as to who your perfect match could be, at least? We’re getting closer to the end now, so you must have a few thoughts.

[beatmatching]

Before I answer: do you have any thoughts yourself as to mine?

[ because verso has seen more of him than most, he thinks. ]

[reverso]

Put me on the spot, why don’t you.

[ …

Hm.]

On our first date together, you recall why I said I once considered you a potential match?

[Because of their peculiar… states of being, so to speak.]

[beatmatching]

I like to do that to people.

[ a little bit more honesty~ ]

I do. What of it?

[reverso]

Well, I'm obviously not your match... but there are those similar to me here that, in my mind, could fit the bill in terms of commonalities. In ways deeper than just shared interests.

So, switching that logic out, perhaps they'd fit you. Yingying would've been a guess were it not disproven from the start. But other than that? Maybe Yi Sang.

[Maybe. He, too, struggles with what he sees in his 'reflection'.]

[beatmatching]

You might call me a liar, but my next guess is Yi Sang too.

[ he'd leave it there but he decides to elaborate. ]

We're similar but different. I'd call it a reflection of some kind.

[reverso]

Two sides of the same coin, that kind of thing?

[beatmatching]

That's right. I felt that way since the first time we spoke.

[ it's not really a positive connection by any stretch of the word.

but it is one, and for that luka thinks it's significant. ]
