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."

Don't under estimate the attractiveness of confidence. I can only speak for myself, I suppose, but there a few things that draw me to someone quicker.

[ Particularly when it feels like an authentic sort of confidence, not just a bunch of bluster and bravado like his own. ]

[nrangel]

[ Being modest has never seemed to have much of a point to it in Serpilia's not even remotely humble opinion. ]

So someone who's got a sort of harmless and easy going confidence and charm must really be what you're into?

[ She doesn't mean herself. ]

[gamboler]

[ He's got a feeling... ]

That's right. Remind you of anyone?

[nrangel]

[ She hums, fake considering that question, as if her own wasn't leading to begin with. ]

Just maaaaaybe.

[gamboler]

[ A brief pause, and then... ]

Of course! Miss Ringo. That's who I was thinking of, too.

[nrangel]

[ A frown that's mostly (mostly) put on. An agreed upon three way relationship is one thing, but that triangle is closed, buster. ]

It better not be.
