week four | match ceremony

[marriagebroker]

Tonight, they're back at the courtyard for the fourth and final time. Nothing has changed too drastically decor wise, there are still lanterns abound and a table full of food and drink. There is also now a third couch near the special couches for Messmer and Odile, if they so choose to sit there. But again, you do you! Wei Wuxian is certainly not going to stop you.

Speaking of that guy, he's here and dressed to impress again. He's looking snazzy. He's waiting for everyone to arrive, watching as they do and grinning broadly all the while. Then when everyone arrives, he clears his throat and begins to speak.

"You all have achieved three of the eight lights you need to win the game. With the match of Messmer and Odile, you only have to light up five lights tonight to succeed. Let's hope you pick right, huh?"

But he has complete faith in everyone! So, let's get this show on the road.

"Team Wangji, you're up."

Hot or Not

[nrangel]

[ Serpilia claps her hands together to try to get the attention of anyone milling around her, and gestures them to come over. ]

Since it's our last day, and we've got all of our matches pretty set, "perfect" or not, why not play a little game? Let's air out our remaining dirty laundry, and try "hot or not". Wouldn't it be just a little fun to hear who was originally gunning for you from week one, even if it didn't pan out that way in the end?

[irreversal]

[ She barks out a laugh, Serpilia is just so much fun. ]

Heh... I mean, I'm pretty sure I considered pretty much everyone at least once.

[nrangel]

Everyone. Heh, that's incredibly sweet actually.

[ However... She holds up one finger. ]

The first week though before you knew everyone's personalities, there had to be some that caught your eye more than others though, right?

[irreversal]

[ She quirks a brow at Serpilia. ]

I don't know if sweet is what I'd call it...

[ But. She chuckles. ]

If we're talking in terms of purely physical attraction? Hmm. You, Ringo, Yingying...

[ She could probably just go on and list the rest of the ladies too. BUT BEFORE SHE CATCHES FLAK FOR LEAVING OFF THE WOMAN SHE IS DATING: ]

With Poppy, I'd say she caught my eye with her personality, heh. But she's obviously very cute.~

[ordimame]

[. . . . . . . slowly trying to slink away--]

[nrangel]

Edamura!

[ Nope! Spotted! ]

Let's start you with an easy softball. Yingying! Hot or not?

[ordimame]

[oh my god]

[stops in his tracks to level her with a vaguely amused look. but hey! at least he stopped fleeing]

Hot, obviously?? Who would say otherwise!

[poans]

By hot, I presume you are not referring to one's temperature or eyes. . .

[nrangel]

[ Their... eyes? ]

I mean how attractive you find them.

[poans]

Hmm . . . If the intention is to revisit the first week, I fear that I had not given consideration to such thoughts then.

[phenomerom]

[ He's been wandering by with a drink in hand (it is a celebratory night? he is allowed to drop his guard a little) but pauses when he hears that clap. Followed by a dry laugh and a mostly deadpan: ]

Miss Serpilia. You do realize the amount of entertainment one gets from such a game is rather depending on their, ah ... [ conventional attractiveness ] ... appeal?

[nrangel]

[ A dramatic point in his direction. ]

You're only not under that category at a glance because you dress the way you do! You look good when you clean up, Rom.

[ She knows, because she went on a date with him where he did. ]

Besides, if you're the one making the calls on these things, it should still be fun for you, right?

1/3

[phenomerom]

[ .... ? ]

[phenomerom]

[ 'You look good when you clean up.'

...... ?????????????

??????????????????????? ]

[enscene]

[Furina is trying to get away with just listening because she's over here to cuddle. Can't talk, she's on Serpilia's chest (Ringo also possibly here and very welcome).

It's her quiet time after the talent show, okay? She might have even changed into comfier clothes.]

[nrangel]

[ She's cute enough to get away with it for awhile, Serpilia running fingers through Furina's hair as Furina cuddles up to her.

She will get asked eventually. If anyone's going to be teased about this the most, it's going to be Furina and Ringo. ]

[gamboler]

[ Oh, he is here for this. ]

I hardly think it suffices to say that I find something attractive in nearly everyone here, but I'll gladly provide more details for a price.

[ Always the businessman... ]

[nrangel]

[ Well, that sure does fit for Aventurine, doesn't it!

Still, they're at the end of this, and it's all in good fun. ]

Name your price, hard bargainer.

[irreversal]

Ugh, lame...

[anathemaw]

[ please... are they doing these drinking games again?! He's still recovering from last night. ]

From the beginning did I speak true - mine eyes were for the wish alone.

[ none of you are hot. definitely ]

[nrangel]

[ Good news! No drinking involved!

Unless that's the only way you can play this game in the first place. Then drink up and spill your guts. ]

Just because you weren't looking for love doesn't mean you weren't still looking. Come on, Messmer, you're surrounded by lookers here. Are you really going to tell me you don't find any of us even a little bit hot?

[embellwish]

[ Serpilia... a woman after her own heart. ]

"Hot or not?" I want to play.

[ She's never heard of this game before, but she can get the gist of what it must be from what Serpilia is laying down. Who they were initially interested in...??? Well, she'll just let Serpilia correct her if she's wrong. ]

Looking back at week one, it has to be Yi Sang, Poppy, and Furina! Edamura, too. They all could get so shy and cute...~

[nrangel]

[ Yingying she respects the game they played before, and it only seems right to play more of them now, right?

She'll let Yingying go for now, because it's kind of cute to have her list them off, and it also is refreshing to have more people just openly admit these things. ]

Those four, huh? You really have a type, don't you?

[ People with big subby energy.

Actually, Poppy way less than the other three! ... But definitely the other three. ]

[enscene]

[Our Yurinas...]

You just enjoyed teasing me! Those two things aren't similar in the slightest!

[From their other talks, like swinging in the trees vines or discussing the meteor, Furina knows the truth, but this is flustered (and ironically shy) Furina in action here instead.]

[ordimame]

Eh?

[eh? EH?? EH???????]
