week four | mingle

[marriagebroker]

Final week at the estate! Final week with your friends. Final week with your beaus. Time to make the most of it, everyone!

In fact, to celebrate this fact, today there is a cake. It's nothing special, just a nice little cake to enjoy with your morning coffee or throughout the day. Yay, cake!

And when Wei Wuxian arrives that morning, he is going to call out once again for everyone to join him, near the cake.

"Everyone, I have another announcement!"

Hell yeah, announcements.

[ how are you doing this fine tuesday, ayto? sometime in the evening a catchy tune drifts through the house from the living room. following it will lead you to luka, who in addition to performing, has something to say! hopefully everyone is sufficieintly attracted by the music because he's not yelling or gathering people individually.

either way, when enough people are around: ]

We need to finalize who we're using the hint on.

When it was discussed at the start of the week, the top contenders were Messmer or Odile. Serpilia and I were also brought up as our two valid pairings were randomly assigned, but given that I have more exclusions than everyone else, my pair can likely be deduced based off of logic later.

Strategically it would benefit us to deduce who is in the last male-female pair, but since we don't know the nature of the hint, we can't guarantee that the clue will pertain to that.

Personally, I'd vote for Messmer between the two of them, given how enigmatic he is.

[researcherstory]

[ Lovely as ever, Luka. Odile inclines her head to him, though there's truthfully little consideration to her answer: ]

I agree. Whatever we may uncover would be most helpful in his regard, since given the pool we have left -- along with the matches and non-matches previous -- I could hazard who may be mine by the final night.

[ordimame]

. . . what about Odile? I feel like she has more options than anyone else. . .

["based on what Edamura" gut instinct]

[enscene]

[Glances over at Odile. Furina doesn't think Edamura is wrong, necessarily; there are a few people here who have "a few" options" still open to them, and it's hard to know with Odile. On the other hand, given what she's just said--]

She seems pretty confident she can deduce for herself based on whatever information you're given... She would also be a good candidate for the Truth Booth. Either way, I think it's better to diversify your results.

[ordimame]

Hm. . . well, all right, then!

[he does tryst that Odile would know better than anyone who her match may be]

I think Messmer is a pretty good pick.

[enscene]

[Hm, he agreed to that rather quickly... but he's been close with Odile from the very beginning.

Furina turns to face him directly, crossing her legs so she can angle in that direction.]

Do you think it would also be helpful for Miss Odile?

[hexensabbat]

Both are good picks. So long as we pick between Messmer and Odile, I'm good with it.

I guess I've got a slight leaning towards Odile, but y'know. She's harder for me to read.

[beatmatching]

But Messmer isn't?

[ verso come help them translate-- ]

[hexensabbat]

Hm? Not really, no.

[A shrug.]

He's just doing his best. I don't mind personality types like his, you know?

[beatmatching]

That's irrelevant if it doesn't help us with finding his match.

[anathemaw]

[ ringo you're the only true homie in this house of horrors ]

[researcherstory]

[ She gave you a whole explanation on Craft and she's hard to read???????? Yeah. ]

If you'd like elucidation before the eleventh hour hits, I wouldn't mind giving it. I spoke enough about the kind of person I thought suited me last ceremony anyway.

[ With

all those words, you're welcome for the power nap Aventurine. ]

Either way, you can be assured that I will be able to suss out which of these unlucky souls have been paired off with me in the name of entertaining television.

[hexensabbat]

Hmmm!! Okay! Let's do this.

[POINTS AT HER.]

Het or yuri?

[researcherstory]

[ Oh my fucking god ]

Both.

[nrangel]

My vote is for Messmer. If we can figure out who he is with a lot of other things are going to fall into place on both the girls and the boys side of things.

[beatmatching]

Ideally we'd be able to confirm he's part of the third male-female pair.

[nrangel]

That's exactly what I'm thinking.

[poans]

[Mrrm . . . ]

[enscene]

What about you? Feeling confident?

[nrangel]

About who the people running this show thought my match should be? Not really.

[ They clearly already got it wrong, but threesomes georgs are outliers and should not be counted. ]

I still think it might be Shoko, but I'm not sure who she thinks her match is, and I'm still not ruling Messmer out as a possibility for me.

[irreversal]

Well, going off of everyone's assumptions on which pairs from last weekend were the lights, then I'm inclined to think it's you and me, too, Serpilia.

It'll depend on what kind of hint we get for either Messmer or Odile, too, but I haven't completely ruled out Luka and I, either.

[enscene]

[Furina's brow furrows up a little bit. She hopes she isn't distracting Serpilia here, keeping her from figuring out something that might be right in front of her face.]

So discovering more about his match could also be useful in narrowing down the options for yours. Think of it this way: We're setting up an array of tiles, and we want them all to fall into place when one is pushed.

[anathemaw]

[ enigmatic....... he accepts the description without complaint, looking as dreary and pensive as ever. Maybe slightly less? It depends on how good you are at reading his one-eyed microexpressions. The two serpents hold their heads aloft, one at his shoulder and the other near his feet, also as ever. ]

... Freely thou mayst ask thy questions of me; I will answer. There is little I should hide with intention.

[ anyway. ]

So too will I accept this... hint.

[ he'd also like this information, frankly. ]

[scooptimistic]

As expected!

I do think, since you have to pick this week [ so does she ] that it might be a good idea to really pinpoint it for you. And we'll go from there!

[anathemaw]

Aye. Though from our number remaining I have a fair estimate.

[ if it's not Odile, he'll be surprised. As for what he thinks about being matched with her? Well, that's not important. ]
