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.

[ Likewise, she's not really sure what to say in return, either. It's alright? Well, it's not. ]

They say it's a miracle I survived... and that I've lived this long after. The star fell over a hundred years ago.

[ All she can think to do is relay neutral information about the Perishing Star. It feels... awkward, to talk about her grief so suddenly, and so, the facts of the matter are simpler to handle. ]

We didn't know it at the time, but... that star brought the end of the world with it.

[ It makes sense to Serpilia. A nice, objective retelling of a personal experience makes it a little easier to discuss. Not that she's exactly fishing for information, but... ]

I can't even imagine...

[ For more than one person here to face the end of their world is cruel, especially when the game offers the hope of another chance that it could pull away at any second depending on their own performance at the end. ]

[ She smiles, the curve of her lips faint. ]

It's alright. I know that it's never coming back.

[ Yingying knows better than to use a wish to bring back what she has lost. Twenty or thirty years ago, she might've had a different opinion. There's a degree of genuine acceptance that she carries, somber and heavy as it is. ]

I didn't used to feel lucky, but, I do now.

[nrangel]

[ She's not one to get teary eyed or overly emotional, but Serpilia's face still sets with a kind of somber determination. ]

We're going to do everything we can to at least make sure you get your wish, Yingying.

[ It won't fix what happened to her, but after everything she's endured, doesn't Yingying deserve that much? ]

[embellwish]

...Heh. You're the sweet type too, hm?

[ She's touched everytime, by everyone's fervent motivation to put a wish into her hands. Just as she's felt in her village, she's not sure what she did to deserve a life filled with so much kindness. ]

Don't go thinking I'll let the rest of you walk away empty handed.

[nrangel]

I'm not sure I'm sweet as much as normal. I can't imagine anyone not wanting to help you out.

[ A small smile. ]

I'm not walking away empty handed regardless, so you don't have to worry about me at all.
