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.

[ Yeah she needs to never go to that place again. The grin slips from her face, replaced with a moment of vulnerability before she nods. ]

Yeah. I know I've got a friend back home who'll be there for me if that ever happens again, so... yeah. Even with just that, things got better.

[ A beat. More meaningful smile now. ]

But after being here? Things are definitely better now.

[ It's almost an unthinkable number of friends that she — they? — have made here. ]

[gamboler]

[ ...It really is, isn't it? It's only been a scant few weeks since they all met, and yet he's forged bonds here that he will carry with him for the rest of his life. This is what happens when he can just...live as himself?

...Food for thought. ]

... I'm curious, Miss Poppy. What do you think you'll do after all this?

[fireball]

[ Oh, things got deep. She supposes that's still better than the raging Aventurine from mere moments ago, but still, that's deep enough for her to fiddle with the hems of her sleeves for a moment, staring down at them before looking back up at him. ]

Uh... not sure. I kind of figured I'd just go back to work? I... like mine, so...

[ With mind for what had set Aventurine off, but what else would she do?

Except crack a small smile. ]

Except maybe I've got a girlfriend now, huh.

[ Follows it up with a little nudge to Aventurine's side. Just like he's got a boyfriend now, right? ]

[ Wao, imagine liking your job...but it's a little amusing to think about life just returning to business as usual after all of this. Though as Poppy points out, she's not unattached anymore. Neither of them are. ]

So, you and Miss Shoko intend to carry on your relationship afterwards? I wonder...how many of us will that be true for?

[ This group has been rather... successful, hasn't it? ]

[fireball]

I... think so, yeah. [ She nods. ] I mean, it might be a little tough, what with the different worlds and all...

[ to say nothing of her extremely normie status. That's kind of a factor too. ]

... but I think we're gonna give it a real go.

[ insert yuri sticker here ]

How about you and Nico?

[gamboler]

[ YURI!!!! I'm also going to say this is happening after his conversation with Nico, otherwise, his answer would be very, very different, and the WLW-MLM solidarity wouldn't be as strong. ]

...You know, when he picked me for the Match Cerermony, I had told him we should wait to make us anything official until the end of the show. [ A rather put-upon sigh for dramatics. ] Yet we haven't even reached the end yet, and I've already agreed to go home with him. So...I guess you could say we're giving it a real go, too.

[ As in, they're kind of locked in for good, now. ]

[fireball]

[ We SHAN'T mess with our WLW-MLM solidarity!!

She just smiles at his dramatic sigh, because she'll do the same thing. And also because, well... his card. ]

So did you just find a way to quit your job?

[ Attaguy! ]
