Lucifer Morningstar
Manuela Casagranda
Mithra
Oriphi
Takuto Maruki
Uroko
~~Yukong~~

Character Name: Mithra
First Pick + IC Reason: Manuela + "She's a feisty woman who won't stop dragging the sheets in bed. She has an ill temper, dries out like a plant, and doesn't take care of herself . . . but she keeps me occupied when I can't sleep. I'm afraid she'll wilt if I don't keep her moisturized."
Second Pick + IC Reason: Ori + "Her horns remind me of the bones at the Lake of Death. It's a quiet place where the stars shine beautifully at night." The next bit is addressed to Oriphi directly: "Would you like to see it? I can take you on a boat and show you the plants that sometimes float by. Maybe you can use them to brew a potion or two."
Third Pick + IC Reason: Lin - "She's a needy woman who's prone to misunderstandings. As the stronger one, it falls on me to clear them."

Character Name: Lucifer Morningstar
First Pick + IC Reason: Zhongli

“He… offered to be my eyes, and help me see the world I’ve been missing for so, so long. But even without that, if I needed proof of the good in the world, I found it in him. That’s more than enough.”

Second Pick + IC Reason: Maruki

“He’s almost too nice for his own good, you know? For a demon like me, it’s a much needed breath of fresh air. He really helped me out a lot when we first got here and I want to get to know him better.”

Third Pick + IC Reason: Ori

“We have a lot in common, right down to the infernal, but Ori’s unlike any demon I’ve ever met. She’s sweet and considerate and really loves her daughter. I think… I hope, more like, the two of us could match up really well.”

Character Name: takuto maruki
First Pick + IC Reason: Martin Brenner: "We have similar interests and both appreciate the complex nature of the mind. He would be a sensible match for myself."
Second Pick + IC Reason: Oriphi: "We may not have similar demeanors outright, but she seems to genuinely care a lot about the wellbeing of everyone here."
Third Pick + IC Reason: Phoenix: "He's an earnest man trying to do the best for those around him. I admire that about him a lot."

rng i am begging you to grab one of the people who said they might choose her first bc idk what the hell i am doing this week

Character Name: Manuela Casagranda
First Pick + IC Reason: Uroko - "It seems like we're coming at this from similar sensibilities. You're easygoing. You don't need to hear it from me that you're attractive. I like that kind of confidence in a man."
Second Pick + IC Reason: Phoenix - "Given her success, I've taken Yukong's words to heart. You seem like a very earnest young man who cares a great deal. It feels a little bit like I'm chasing a wounded gazelle, but I do like the chase."
Third Pick + IC Reason: Oz - "You're mysterious and handsome. It's an enigma I'd like to unwrap a little more. I think...it's been a while since flirting with someone went the way it did with you. But I'm not sure how to feel about that."

Edited (sorry nick ) 2024-03-23 03:50 (UTC)

Character Name: Oriphi
First Pick + IC Reason: Phoenix - Well, since there's been all of the talk about similarities in matches... You and I got lumped in together a little bit this week, didn't we? Not like that, but because we're both so considerate that we're a little indecisive. Haha... I hope this doesn't bother you too much, but hopefully we'll learn something today!
Second Pick + IC Reason: Mithra - I'm not so sure "similarities" go for everyone, so... I guess we'll see if dissimilarities count for anything, too.
Third Pick + IC Reason: Zhongli - Hmm... I guess with you, it's less about similarities, exactly, but... I think I'd like to learn to be more like you.

Character Name: uroko
First Pick + IC Reason: Oriphi. I've said it before, [ a languid pause, where there's probably groaning ] I like her cooking the most. Mmn, you desire more than that, don't you? That's a private matter, so I've been told.

[ he brings a hand to his face, palm upward and lips pursed; you'd be forgiven for thinking he's about to blow the most awkward kiss in ayto history, but instead he creates a bubble that floats it's way to ori, and pops right next to her ear. ]

ooc: kia i will tell you whats ori hears from the bubble if we go with this timeline, but its for her ears only/anna. and yours. and the potato ig if it has good hearing!?!?!

Second Pick + IC Reason: Xianyun. She has a fire to her that isn't snuffed out easily by the sea.

Third Pick + IC Reason: Manuela. We can partake in the feast together, fill our bellies, and sate our thirst.

Character Name: Xianyun

First Pick + IC Reason: Lucifer. One has several traits in common with him, particularly the overwhelming font of love that we feel for our daughters. And yet, there are ways in which we differ that may be considered complementary. He is playful and imaginative, whereas one is taciturn and reasonable. There is a sense of balance there, where one can keep the other's more extreme tendencies "in check," so to speak.

One also greatly enjoys his company, although that is a determinant that seems to hardly matter in this game.

Second Pick + IC Reason: Oriphi. One finds her presence to be warm and welcoming, and the two of us have similar tendencies to keep busy and express ourselves through the acts of creation. We also share a deep appreciation for food and understand the importance of sharing a meal with others. Our personal areas of expertise do not perfectly coincide, but one can see the logic of pairing us up in order to expand each of our respective interests.

Third Pick + IC Reason: Mithra. To one's surprise, one seems to get along with him better than most.

( That's it, that's the whole justification. )

Character Name: Martin Brenner

First Pick + IC Reason: Mithra + The truth of the matter is, one of us has to be Mithra’s match. And while I’d normally choose someone clever, ambitious, and compelling to talk to, changing my strategy to pick an “opposite” means I’ll be selecting him, instead.

Second Pick + IC Reason: Manuela + Consider this a change in strategy, and therefore an experiment in its own right. Ms. Manuela appears to know the type of man she wants, and I get the sense I don’t qualify. Well, in that case, let’s see if the producers here are into that kind of drama.

Third Pick + IC Reason: Phoenix + Mr. Wright, you’re a perfectly pleasant and earnest man. I doubt you’d take this the wrong way, since we discussed it yesterday at some length, but while I think you’d make a decent match for any number of contestants here, I don’t believe that’s specifically the case for me. But in a situation where “opposites” might sit at the top of the list, you’re a top contender. So for the sake of this little test, I’m picking you.

does a big stretch before i throw darts at the board

Character Name: Lin

First Pick + IC Reason: Mithra — "I'm sure he'll think I'm being overbearing by saying this, but I don't care. I'm picking Mithra. I think he has both the easiest and hardest time communicating what he means, and maybe we're the same that way... or maybe not. Hah, if all else fails, we could still be opposites."

Second Pick + IC Reason: Phoenix — "If the matches are truly based on who we are, then I must matched with someone who cares about justice like I do. Far as I can tell, he does. He's level-headed, fair, motivated, if not a bit naïve. After watching him, I've decided he's a defense attorney worthy of my respect. And if it's a rival he wants, well, I don't back down to anybody."

Third Pick + IC Reason: Manuela — "She's stubborn, like me. If we're supposed to be "learning from each other" at this love fest, maybe she could teach me to show it less, and I could teach her to show it more."

Character Name: Oz

[ oz's explanations are done slowly, sounding both meticulously drafted and awkwardly navigated on the spot, however he managed that. ]

First Pick + IC Reason: "... Manuela. You underestimate yourself. If you wish to hear more... You may come to me at a later time, and I will answer."
Second Pick + IC Reason: "Oriphi. There is a kindness within you. ... That is all."
Third Pick + IC Reason: "Uroko. There are similarities between us; I would say he is simple enough to converse with.

[ the bar is so high. ]"

Character Name: Zhongli
First Pick + IC Reason: Ori |
You're kind beyond measure.
And listen to my stories at your leisure
Your heart is certainly made of gold
And while you think that claim a bit bold
I am quite the expert when it comes to treasure
Second Pick + IC Reason: Takuto Maruki |
I would like to thank you most deeply
As the cost of my secrets does not come cheaply
One has enjoyed our small chats
And you do not seem one for spats
I think a match would come most neatly
Third Pick + IC Reason: Xianyun |
Through ages a most faithful friend
Side by side to whatever near end
Though we hardly need ceremony
Or any outside testimony
As perfect companions we need not pretend

Fourth Pick + IC Reason: Lucifer.

Hahaha what if tho. :o)

Character Name: Phoenix Wright
First Pick + IC Reason: Dr. Maruki, I choose you! He's a kind and insightful person, and very generous with Pop-Tarts. He's also gone through career struggles that almost remind me of my own. I feel like we can learn a lot from each other!
Second Pick + IC Reason: Lucifer, I choose you! I never imagined I'd end up considering the devil for something like this, but the devil's in the details, right? We've been getting along well lately, and it makes sense that two of the best dads with the most incredible daughters would end up getting paired together, right?
Third Pick + IC Reason: Lin Beifong, I choose you! I admire your passion for justice and your strong spirit. You could just be the rival I need to keep me on my toes and to turn disagreements into new truths.

Character Name: Mithra
First Pick + IC Reason: Brenner + "We're opposites. What more is there to say?"
Second Pick + IC Reason: Phoenix + "He's a hopeless man."
Third Pick + IC Reason: Xianyun + "She never stops talking."

We're in opposite town now, baby.

Character Name: takuto maruki
First Pick + IC Reason: Lucifer: "Maybe I should have followed my gut sooner, but we clicked really well right away. There are aspects about myself that he understands better than I do, I think."
Second Pick + IC Reason: Oriphi: "Ori-san has continued to offer me kindness, even after learning about my personal history. It would be a privilege to be her match."
Third Pick + IC Reason: Zhongli: "I could enjoy his tea and his stories for days on end. There's a lot to admire about him choosing himself."

Character Name: Oriphi
First Pick + IC Reason: Uroko "If I'm honest... Those first few days, when you kept trying to steal food and would say those things about me... I didn't know what to think about you. But I asked you to get to know me for more than how I look, and you genuinely made good on that. I can hardly believe that you hadn't..." She chuckles and shakes her head. "Never mind. You know, I think... I don't care if it makes me look easy, to feel something for the first person who flirted with me here."

Then she glances at Riri. "Though if you're taking that as an invitation, please, just... shut up."

Second Pick + IC Reason: Lin / "Heh... Maybe you'd be a little displeased about this now after finding out the sorts of... shenanigans I used to get up to, but... I think you know at least enough about me to understand that everything I've ever done, it was to protect my loved ones and that always, we've only ever wanted to help others. But really, it meant a lot to me, learning about you and your sister. Maybe I'm not the perfect citizen, and I'm far from the perfect sister, but I think you and I... well, we could be a Perfect Match!"

Third Pick + IC Reason: Xianyun / "You know... I've spent quite a lot of time over the years traveling around as a bird, though I'm still sure it's nothing like being an, um..." She doesn't remember the word Xianyun used, exactly, but, "Anyway. It was... Really, sincerely inspiring to see you stand up for what you believe in, even if I didn't quite catch... everything, at the time. That was amazing of you, Xianyun. I'd be honored if we turned out to be a Perfect Match."

--

I am not sure how points have panned out this time around but if Ori ends up going first again because of scores: if possible, she would like to concede going first again to let Manuela go ahead!

Edited (i'M SORRY MY BRAIN ACTIVATED) 2024-04-06 03:59 (UTC)

Character Name: uroko
First Pick + IC Reason: Oriphi—I've said as much already to you, underneath the waves and the stars. So I shall save what else I have to say for your ears alone.
Second Pick + IC Reason: Manuela—her persistence and honesty are their own type of beauty.
Third Pick + IC Reason: Sometimes you can do nothing else but throw everything into the current and follow the flow. To that end, I select Oz with no hesitation and an openness.

Character Name: Manuela
First Pick + IC Reason: Oz - "You say you aren't used to compliments, so maybe I'd better get you warmed up to the idea? I'll save the stuff like how handsome you are for another day; that's obvious, isn't it? I'll never fully understand you, and that drives me nuts, but because of that I find myself hanging off your every word. How much do you think you care for others, Oz? Because I think you consider them a great deal more than you say. No matter where it is you come from."
Second Pick + IC Reason: Phoenix - "Boy, what a week, huh? Hearing you encourage Maruki the way you did, I realized just how much I feel like I could use that in my life. You're mellow, supportive, and tenacious, and you can smile no matter how bad it gets. Plus, you're more fun to tease than most of the stiffs here. If you call me Mommy we might have a problem, though... or maybe I'm into that?"
Third Pick + IC Reason: Brenner - "This'd be my luck, so why not? I want nothing to do with this man. We were both very ambitious in our careers, it would seem. Maybe they confused your pursuits for being a go-getter."

Character Name: Lucifer Morningstar
First Pick + IC Reason: Takuto Maruki

"We've both done things we're not proud of, heh, and we've both learned hard lessons because of it. We're trying to move forward as best we can. I think that sort of common ground is what we both need. He's a really kind soul, and I'd be happy to call him my match."

Second Pick + IC Reason: Ori

"Ori is still one of the sweetest, most genuine people I've ever met. Seeing that really touches my heart. I think I need that kind of presence in my life."

Third Pick + IC Reason: Phoenix Wright

"Phoenix is just so... genuinely human, and one of the very best I've had the pleasure of meeting. He's kind and level-headed and really sweet. That's the kind of human I've needed to meet after all these centuries, so I can see there's some good in the world after all."

Oz

Zhongli

Character Name: Zhongli
First Pick + IC Reason: Oz. It's just how it seems to have shaken out. Long lived though quite different. If you're applicable to knowing one another after I'd be glad for it. But otherwise... It's the journey, not the destination that matters most in things like these. And all journeys come to an end.
Second Pick + IC Reason:
Third Pick + IC Reason:

If it's not Oz then idk. Something went very awry in all of this. Slap me with whoever.

Character Name: Xianyun
First Pick + IC Reason: Phoenix: While one makes this decision based on the confirmation of a hint provided to us by Riri, one would be remiss not to acknowledge Phoenix's exemplary qualities. He is genuine and charming, quick of wit and in possession of a creative intelligence. He loves his daughter dearly, as much as one does her disciples, which is a trait one values highly.

One is honored to be partnered with him, and hopes for the opportunity to continue to get to know him even after this farce ends.

Second Pick + IC Reason: Zhongli: they have the same dead ex girlfriend.

Third Pick + IC Reason: Brenner: keep making those bad decisions, Xianyun.

my brain during this last discussion.mp3

Character Name: Lin
First Pick + IC Reason: Maruki —

"First, I want to commend us all for making it this far. Some of the people watching are probably thinking that there's no way we'll make it out of this. But it doesn't matter how many times you get knocked down, it matters if you get up each time. We might've had a rough path to this moment... but I've believed in us all every second.

If things don't go our way, I swear on my badge, and as chief of police in Republic City, to see to it that what was lost to each of us is returned. You have my word.

That being said.... I believe my match is Maruki. I'm not — good at things like smoothing things over, or talking about my feelings. I suppose being paired up with a psychiatrist is supposed to help me with that, huh?

But I believe there's more to it than that. I'm a workaholic who does everything by herself, sometimes to my own detriment. It can feel like I'm responsible for everything. I think the two of us might have that in common — all this pressure to do what we believe is right on our shoulders. Putting our work before ourselves.

Maybe we both go too far, sometimes. But you're a good man, Maruki. Don't forget that the former doesn't disprove the latter."

Second Pick + IC Reason: Uroko — "That being said... my match is Uroko. I've never thought of myself as someone who could stand with the divine. But you're surprisingly down to earth for someone who came from the sea. You're easy to talk to... and I don't say that lightly. I didn't say it before, but... thanks, for thinking of me. "

Third Pick + IC Reason: Oriphi — "That being said... my match is Oriphi. Out of everyone, I think she's the only one who can understand what my life has been like for the past thirty years. I know that's no time at all to all you immortals out there — but it meant something to me, to talk about our families. You're a wonderful mother, and an honorable sister to your family. You helped me see things from the other side... I hope that in some way, I helped you, too."

I’m just doing the one pick because I think everyone has theirs sorted? Yell at me if you need me to make my brain explode over two more picks tho Kia

Character Name: Marty Brenner
First Pick + IC Reason: Mithra + Well, what can I say at this point? Three weeks straight with the same strategy between us, choosing an opposite on the off-chance there’s something bafflingly complimentary present, too — let’s just hope it’s been the correct one all along.

Character Name: Phoenix Wright
First Pick + IC Reason: "Xianyun... We may already know the answer, but that's just helped me to realize the ways in which we can make a great match after all. Some things may be scary, but I'm ready to take this leap with you."
Second Pick + IC Reason: "Things may not have gone as planned, so hey why not? Lucifer, let's give it a try for the hell of it!"
Third Pick + IC Reason: "...Manuela! Let's give this a shot!"

Character Name: Oz
First Pick + IC Reason: Zhongli. Perhaps I will understand what it is you see one day. That you have found something here... it is good.

if we got this far we're really in it now ariana

Second Pick + IC Reason: Manuela. You have said you would like to be chosen. If it has ended up like this... I will also continue to choose. You... are confusing. But that is not a bad thing.

if we got THIS far we're REALLY in it now ariana

Third Pick + IC Reason: Mithra. We must kill the potato. Do you agree?
