week three | match ceremony

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.

[ FISTPUMP ]

Awesome! I'm rooting for you!!

[he has]

[such a headache now]

One step at a time. . .

[ Undeterred. Thriving. So proud of and excited for him. ]

Of course! You want it to come together all natural-like, after all. And you're already well on your way!

[the way he doesn't have the heart to tell her that he is incapable of rushing that far ahead with things when he ONLY JUST figured out how to step into something he wanted for himself. . .]

. . . so how are things with you and Shoko!

[SUBJECT CHANGE. FINALLY]

[ HEY

is that legal. can he do that. change the subject like that. ]

... They're still good! [ cries in all the backtags I have to do ] We're, uh, learning more about each other. There's... trust there? So that's. It's good.

[he sure can!! he has decided this for himself!!]

[. . . also he is not going to bring up the curse stuff because he knows he learned it before Poppy and does NOT WANT TO ACCIDENTALLY STIR THE POT]

Yeah! That is good. Four weeks. . . really isn't a long time to get to know someone.

. . . but if you have a solid foundation by the end of it, then whatever comes after here will work out just fine.

[ Oh. Oh they're getting real now — which, Poppy belatedly realizes, is him forcing her to slow her roll. Touche, Edamura. Touche. ]

... Yeah, it's pretty easy to get caught up in the whirlwind of it all, huh? Especially when everything here's so geared towards romance.

[ Which like. She'd been considering Edamura because it would have been irresponsible not to, but this is nicer? This is nicer.

Shoulder bump. ]

I think... we might be leaving with more than we started, at least.

[they are getting real!! they only have a week left!! his smile is genuine as he leans into that bump]

I think that's how it should be. We should all be leaving with more than we started. Right?

[or is that weirdly optimistic for someone like him. . .? maybe he's still just happy with the match ceremony results]

[ Well, she certainly doesn't notice anything amiss, her smile just as genuine. ]

Right. I thought I'd come here and just be awesome for a month — [ and you know what. She has succeeded at that! — ] but I had no idea I'd be meeting so many cool people along the way.

[ And that she could be so happy for so many other people, and they could be the same for her. ]

[god damn, girl. he can truly admire that confidence. she was awesome for a month]

I. . . hope that doesn't mean you came here thinking we'd all be really lame?

[he teases]

[kind of]

[ ...

small laugh ]

Kind of?

[ A more sheepish smile now. ]

I mean, who goes on a dating show?

[ Well aware of the fact that. She very literally did herself. ]
