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?

[ Tipsy as Aventurine is, he can hear the weight in that answer, and recognize his own struggle with the same question in it. ]

...It's not an easy choice. Even if you still aren't sure by the end of our run, you can still take it with you.

[He bows his head in a smaller dip before raising it. Aventurine is right. While it isn't advisable to drag their feet, there's no need to make haste.]

Have you given thought to yours?

[gamboler]

...Well, I tried to pass it off to Miss Yingying, but she wouldn't take it. So I suppose the burden falls back on me to decide what to do with it...jury's still out on my end, too.

[ He has...ideas, but it's too soon for him to make a call. ]

[poans]

An investment, was it . . . You are still quite the businessman.

[gamboler]

It's...what I do best.

[ For better or worse. ]

[poans]

[He watches him for a moment, wondering in more ways than one.]

Correct me if I am wrong . . . but I must wonder if you have considered investing in yourself.

[ Use it for himself...

It's not as though he hasn't thought about it, but it hardly feels like he's...earned it. As ever, it's easier to give something away under the guise of accumulating favors he'll never cash in, but to just use it on himself... ]

I'd hardly know where to start, I'm afraid. To...make things right for my people aren't around any longer? Or...cut myself free...

[ He can't...can he? ]

[poans]

[His people. Yi Sang sits with those words while Aventurine trails off. Holding onto what little remains by way of mementos, the latter must have suffered so.]

. . . It is a joyous night. Let us discuss this another time when you are more rested, my friend.

[ He lets his eyes fall shut for a moment, more weary than he's felt since he arrived here. Might be a sign he's sobering up — which means it's time to find something else to drink. ]

...Of course. Don't forget what I said, alright? About Miss Yingying.

[ He's invested in both of their happiness, so don't blow it!!! ]
