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?

You forget ... ? Haha! Most people unused to being in front of the cameras would be frozen stiff, you know? I don't think three weeks would be enough time for most people to acclimate that well.

[ No he's not answering the question about himself. Don't worry about it. ]

It's a very gallant attitude. No wonder everyone's been falling for you, Ieiri-san.

[ Hmm... ]

Everyone? [ She chuckles at that. ] That's too flattering, Shindou. Anyway, aren't you a streamer? You should be more used to having cameras around. What's with that...?

[ No escape. ]

[ The problem of constructing an image for yourself as a skeazy conman is that nobody will believe you when you're being sincerely complimentary ............. 😔 ]

Haha. Maybe the fact that I'm a streamer is actually the problem here. [ Casting a sideways glance at the camera crew here. ] I'm always 'on' in front of the camera, after all. Whether it's shooting a promotion for new products, or recording my investigations, or producing content for monetization. It's difficult for me to set aside that work mindset, of needing to keep up an image. ... so I'm serious, you know. In admiring your mindset.

[ She casts him a sidelong glance, herself unwittingly demonstrating how much she pays no mind to the cameras here by keeping her focus solely on him, instead. ]

I'll take that as a compliment, then. I've never been the self-conscious type, obviously. I was the kind of person who would smoke shamelessly around adults when I was a teenager, you know.

[ a nostalgic little chuckle. ]

Still, it would be good if you could relax just a little bit at some point. Though if cameras are the problem, then there's only one place you could really escape them.
