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.

Oh? [ A tilt of the head, curious. ] If I may ask why you think so.

[beatmatching]

His appearance reminds me of the Segyein.

[ he will not be saying more than that but enough people should know that it's not a good association. ]

And I don't think we could really talk much, at all. [ could he force it? sure. but as far as Vibes go, luka isn't seeing it at all. ]

[phenomerom]

[ ... 'Segyein.' Not a term he's familiar with. But he has enough context clues here to guess it's not something he should be prying at. Makes a mental note for later, and just moves on. ]

Respectfully, Mr. Luka, you strike me as the sort of performer who could make a conversation with anyone work, if the desire struck. Is there any chance the production team might have misconstrued your abilities as the potential for a match?

[beatmatching]

The confirmed matches we have so far go beyond surface level, right? If that holds the same for me then that assumption with Messmer is faulty.

[ a week ago he would have described himself differently, but since he has learned a new word everyone gets the new updated version. ]

I'm am introvert, though obviously I can perform when I need to. But I don't like to, or want to, do that always.

[phenomerom]

[ Huh. That entire statement as a whole doesn't quite match up with the scant impression he's gotten of Luka so far, but -- that's good, he thinks? This feels more frank, and thus, more helpful to the conversation. So. A blink before he nods. Plainly: ]

Understood. If you feel certain about it, then it does feel like a factor to take into consideration. Thank you.

[anathemaw]

[ ah, here it is. It was much too fortunate that not a soul here would be bothered by his serpentine looks. ]

... Allay thy fears, little mortal. I will strive to avoid thee.

[beatmatching]

It's not a fear.

[ ...it's a bit more complicated than that, but luka unfortunately won't elaborate. ]
