week three | match ceremony

[marriagebroker]

We're back, baby!

The courtyard is lit up with lanterns all over and there is now a second special couch near the Furina and Ringo couch from last week. This is the Verso-Nico couch, if they want to sit in it. But they don't have to! Live your truth, boys! Go sit with your situationships instead!

Wei Wuxian is here, still looking happy after his absence this week, and he is dressed to impress in NOT a hanfu this time, but a modern look. He's liking it, honestly. Look at him sparkle!

"Congratulations, my friends! You are once again free from a blackout and losing a wish as you found a perfect match at yesterday's truth booth. Good job!" Wei Wuxian explains, twirling his flute in his fingers as per usual. "You might still get no lights again otherwise but, uh, let's hope not! I believe in you!"

... Does he?

Either way, he bounces on his feet and calls out, "Team Suibian, it's time to make your picks!" Looks like we're ready to go.

[god he'd be shocked to hear her describe him that way. in his own opinion, he is far too. . . guarded]

[but his features soften at her honesty as he scoots a bit closer towards her for a companionable shoulder bump]

Are you going to miss this when it's over?

[researcherstory]

[ She'll return it with a small, gently jab. ]

... The people moreso. I'll have plenty of interesting tales to take back, at least. And you?

[ordimame]

[still comfortable, even weeks later. . .]

I'll miss the people, sure. But I'm not made for television, and I know it.

[even now, he still thinks of himself as a "keeps his head low and stays out of the spotlight" kind of guy]

[researcherstory]

Nor am I.

[ Nor for... quick romance... but that is besides the point, and one she won't bring up. If Odile ends up with anyone, it will be after a long period of time of knowing them, that is certain. She's fine with it. ]

I will be happy to be home, [ sighed, rubbing her head, ] among the people and technology -- or lack there of, in others eyes -- that I am used to. Should anyone attempt to invent anything alike to a "camera", I will stop them in their tracks.

[ordimame]

[oh my god]

No, no! Cameras are actually really useful. It's a good thing to turn important memories into pictures you can keep forever!

[researcherstory]

They have done nothing but hound me and mine in our most private of moments. No thank you.

[ Absolutely Not. ]

[ordimame]

[. . .]

We'll ditch the cameras on our outing this week.

But I am taking a picture of us and giving it to you to take home.

[researcherstory]

[ He still wants to do an outing with her... That touches her for some reason, even if she'll be secluding herself somewhat in the coming week thanks to her social battery really winding down. ]

I won't deny you either, but... are you sure you can afford to cut their pay further, Edamura? They seemed sour enough with your antics last time.

[ordimame]

[of course he does!! HE NEEDS HIS ODILE GOSSIP TIME :(]

They can deal with it.

[they truly are going to be watching him like a HAWK next week]
