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.

Maybe it was unwise to cloud our judgment with another party... I just thought we'd made such good progress.

[reverso]

[He clicks his tongue, finally glancing at her.]

Don't say that. The party had nothing to do with it — helped with the bonding, if nothing else. Better to make these sorts of miscalculations now than at the end.

[They've got one more week to get their shit sorted. Verso had already planned on hanging around the manor a lot, anyway, but maybe he will.... more...... now.]

[enscene]

That's...true. [She falters in between her worry about what feels a little scattershot in terms of match picks on the stage and the reassurance that any misstep is simply a chance to practice and succeed the next run.]

It seems many important things came to light yesterday... just because we weren't aware of them, it doesn't mean there weren't more.

[reverso]

You know what that means right? More parties.

[Verso easily falls into the trap of making jokes, but this is a hyrbid between his usual flippancy and an actual suggestion.]

More opportunities for people to be more forward, spill their hearts. [ironic, coming from him.] And more time to see how these inclinations do or don't match up with the math.
