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.

Oh, Odile might be a good choice. The hint may help us figure out if it's really her and Yi Sang, or if our other assumptions about this week's pairs are right.

[ sorry to make you look at the horrors for the sake of strategy, rom ]

But Messmer seems like a good idea, too.

[phenomerom]

[ it's fine, at this point he's almost starting to acclimate to the eyestrain going on around her. ]

Lord Messmer would certainly be my other pick for a hint, but ... it's difficult to know for sure without any idea of what exactly this hint will be, isn't it? I doubt the production would be so generous as to tell us exactly who their match would be, but otherwise, I imagine any information is fair game.

[embellwish]

Mm, it could be something like whether they're a man or a woman... or, it might be like those envelopes that we saw in the onsen. A fact about that person, or something that happened to them in the past...

[ That'd necessitate people coming forward to say the information applied to them, though, and that's not a guarantee. And even then, it might apply to multiple people. Yingying hums. ]

In case of the latter, we'd just need to be honest with everybody.

[phenomerom]

Aah, those envelopes.

[ Huh. He hadn't thought of those. A little cant of the head and an owlish blink, gaze cast aside as he runs what he remembers of them over in his head. ]

An astute suggestion, Miss Yingying. ... it didn't sound like the contents of those envelopes was too bad, back then. But I suppose there's no guarantee a hint would be something innocuous. If it's something the individual truly wishes to hide, we may have to rely on connecting the dots from what they've said to other people during dates and such.

[embellwish]

Like "detectives," hmm...

[ It'd be better if no one had to reveal anything they didn't want to.... at the same time, such honesty is, perhaps, required for them to win the reward they're all wanting for. ]

It doesn't seem like the show would do anything too mean spirited. But, I also didn't figure out which card belonged to each person...
