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."

[ 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. ]

[enscene]

[Yay, Furina is winning! She is going to be the victor of this game without even playing it.

She’s totally “sleeping” if she’s called on, but eventually she does wiggle and stir.]

I could use a drink…Couldn’t you?

[nrangel]

Think you've got it in you to keep drinking?

[ Given how "sleepy" she is right now. ]

How about I say yes after you answer a question of mine first.

[ There's that dangerous, teasing edge to her voice right now. ]

[enscene]

[Huffy. Obviously Serpilia knows she was just pretending to take a nap.] Hmph! I've really mostly had tea today...I couldn't drink when it might affect my voice, after all.

[So she is fine. Furina tilts her head back so she's looking up from an upside-down angle.]

I just did answer a question of yours. [Weasel exact wording speech just isn't as convincing when it comes from Furina, even if she's seen it from some of the best.]

[nrangel]

Very diligent of you.

[ Serpilia could never. She'll eat and drink what she wants when she's in the mood for it. ]

Alright, sneaky. One more question then.

[enscene]

You're aware more than most of just how strict and disciplined I can be, aren't you?

[Stretching a little bit, she will extract herself enough to sit up because she's in it for the drink now.]

All right, I'll entertain your inquiry...since it's our last night for now.

[nrangel]

Striiiict, huh?

[ She doesn't sound convinced on that one, but Furina does take things very seriously when she thinks they have to be taken seriously, and it's honestly very admirable. ]

Great! Hot or not then! Odile?

[enscene]

Hmm... No, especially because I don't really think she'd like to be considered that way. [Which she will be taking into account while answering these questions, thank you!]

But her commanding presence keeping us in line the other night was very striking!

[nrangel]

You're probably right about that.

[ Odile did not seem overly fussed about looks at any point during the show. ]

And you're definitely right about her doing a great job getting us no track to the end.

[enscene]

Of course I am. [Phew... She thinks she played that one off pretty well.

But she doesn't go wheedling Drink Acquiescence out of Serpilia just yet, instead turning around in her arms.]

But you were also like that... always ensuring that people were looking forward with the game. Hmm... You might have what it takes to make a director yourself.

[nrangel]

[ Furina's got a fancy little flourish to her and has spoken in terms of performances before, but Serpilia has got to make sure here: ]

You mean like a stage or film director, right? Because there's no way I want to be the director of a department at my job.

[ Seems like a headache and a lot of extra work, and not even the kind she finds fun. ]
