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.

[He nods along. White was a novelty . . . for a time. Color is still color, however, and that was part of the joy in staying outside, even if he couldn't appreciate it in full during the earlier weeks. As ever, Odile grasps the heart of the matter quickly.]

On a spectrum of shades, darkless must refer to white and lightless, black.

[This is exciting. Much to talk about and discuss in order to know Odile and her world better.]

If I may, how did it happen?

She nods at his assessment, that's right. Everything in between... is what it is. Greyscale. As ever, he understands the concepts she puts before him so long as it pertains to anything but himself. ]

... Someone wished them away.

[ It's the only thing that could have reasonably happened, that could have wiped it from everyone's memories -- the only Craft powerful enough to twist physics on its head in that way, though it's only a matter of "if you don't believe in something, it doesn't exist". ]

Or so I believe. It's partially why I don't want anything to do with wishes, much less believe they could do anything for me -- giving them out so freely feels... like a mistake. They don't know what these could be used for.

[ And it's only luck that anyone interested may be for better reasons. ]

Then the state of your vision is as much a cautionary tale as it is simply the way of things . . .

[It's a wonder how someone could just wish away colors, but even he in his willful ignorance is aware of the many curiosities like this that populate the City.]

Upon our arrival, I myself harbored a number of reservations regarding the wishes. Putting the matter of those aside, do you suppose it will ever be possible to reverse the wish that has altered the look of your world so?

[researcherstory]

Perhaps. But it won't be for a long, long time, and I suspect it will take more than my knowing of them to do so.

[ Unless she wanted to try combating a wish with a wish, but-- well, there's no telling how that might turn out. ]

If nothing else, I suppose I'll keep it in my back pocket and consult with my companions on the matter. Should there be worth in trying... then I will give it my all to undo even a bit of it, so that it may become undone even faster.

[ Still

not within her lifetime, of course, but. Fruits for those that come after. ]

[poans]

[Naturally, there would be matters even the well traveled and learned Odile can't solve right away; however, he believes there's worth in trying so long as she believes.]

Oft did I long to see the colors of the sky when it was overcast in a dark film. Should you embark on this journey, it is my hope that you and your precious companions will find the answer you seek.

[Odile's vision isn't deficient. It's merely what it is, but if she desires for more, then she has his faith.]
