WEEK THREE MINGLE

ᯓ⭐ WEEK THREE MINGLE

Happy third week, lovebirds! Here's to hoping you're riding high on the wave of success of one whole pair being correct! Surely you must have an idea by now how to win this thing!

Probably?

The good news is that you're not going to have to find yourselves in any weird clothes this time around, except maybe that just leads to a strange sense of foreboding for a future scenario...? Who knows. You can't quite brace yourself for it this time.

But don't worry, it's not like there's nothing happening. On the contrary!

For the entirety of this week, you'll find yourself feeling... clingy. It's going to start feeling very strange if you're not leaning on someone, holding their hand, cuddling with them, sitting in their lap, stealing a kiss, or engaging in some other form of affectionate physical contact. And if it's someone you're already feeling fond of OR someone you actually can't stand, guess what?

That feeling is doubled!

You may realize this is an unusual feeling, but so what? Trying to ignore it is only going to make it feel stronger and do you really want to make yourselves feel miserable?

Shut up, masochists.

[Holy shit?

The peanut gallery Manuela, who's probably also drinking but isn't in Oriland just yet, can't help but pipe up...especially since Martin's started to put the heat on their match from last week.]

I was with you for the first part.

[helmswoman]

[ Wow, she can be getting plenty of good sleep and still want a nap if she's feeling uncharacteristically cuddly.

So, when she feels the vibration of a laugh that's not been fully voiced, Yukong's eyes blink open from the slight doze that she'd fallen into. She is quite a light sleeper, it seems. ]

What is it?

[ziplash]

Well, I don't regret the first part in the least.

[ Because she still thinks it's funny enough to joke about and mention to other people. He got what was coming for him for going behind her back, in her honest opinion. ]

The second part — it's water under the bridge now. Between me and her.

HAHAHA ABOUT THAT, XIANYUN…

[mechanideptus]

That’s different. Henry’s suffering was a side effect of having to learn to control his terrible capability. It was not put upon him by an outside force attempting to abuse powers beyond comprehension for their own ends.

[ And even then, it was awful to watch. Again, the impotent anger she felt on his behalf flares. ]

Unless one misinterpreted your memory?

[ozzz]

Did he fix it?

[The property, he means. It's the first statement in the meeting that's evened out the pinch in his brow.]

[helmswoman]

[ Yukong sits in the blanket fort, quite comfortable in her silk pajamas. She has a cup of tea, the sort that is meant to help you calm down for sleep rather than anything caffeinated.

At Lucifer's starting remark, she smiles and tilts her head. ]

Should you not start? I believe you're one of the people who'll need to share a secret in order to earn that promised hint.

[ And at this point, the group might need one. The situation is feeling more and more dire. ]

[alcoheal]

[girl what

Manuela holds her glass out of the way of the commotion. There will be no spills in here tonight...yet. Give them a few hours. Her arm goes out to catch Ori on her way down, so her fall from the top of the blanket fort isn't too painful or humiliating.

Ori's declaration makes her black, color, and then laugh softly - in that order.]

You're right, of course, but what's brought this on? [And why is she drunkenly declaring it a secret?]

[helmswoman]

[ Zhongli, please...........

Yukong stares at him for a few seconds from her cozy spot in the corner. She's wearing some silk pajamas. ]

Might I ask the meaning of your sleepwear, Zhongli?

[helmswoman]

Is there someone you'd be comfortable sharing a secret with among us? You could whisper it to them away from the rest of the group.

[ But Lucifer is right. Mithra is going to have to share with someone. ]

[helmswoman]

[ ??????????????????

Give her a moment to process this. ]

tags you everywhere, i guess

[helmswoman]

[ Yukong speaks up from where she's been seated in the corner, mainly listening to the others. She's in a cute set of silk pajamas. ]

You're one of those who'll need to share, however...

[ Sorry, Manuela, but the terms were clear this time. ]

[cosmoid]

If your request is made like this, I couldn't possibly refuse it.

[ ah, he's looking down at her instead of up at the stars. well, it's not like it's a real contest anyway.

mmmn. he tilts his head to give her more access if she would like, though he doesn't voice his greediness for once. he might not be able to actually, but he doesn't mind. ]

[cosmoid]

[ given that riri wasn't specific, and that maruki just went and threw his iconoclastic tendencies out there, uroko might as well. ]

Hmm... a secret of mine. I cursed a primary school student one day.

[ yup, that sure happened.

aside from secrets, you can find uroko lazing on many pillows with a cup of some liquor or another. he sadly is still pretty much sober, even though he's been in his cup a lot tonight. ]

[helmswoman]

...

[ Well, at least he didn't make this too difficult. Yukong takes a moment to let what he said sink in. She sips at her tea, dressed in some nice silk pajamas. ]

Are there many primary schools in the sea? Or was this on land?

[thefinalcontract]

[Ori did say a bad word :o]

I suppose that's true... All things considered I don't think it's so terrible if we don't win. Wishes from Riri seem ill advised at best and most everyone I've met has been someone worthwhile and unique. Anything found is a blessing in and of itself.

Whatever these possible matches are really don't hold a candle to what's already been found.

[cosmoid]

[ everyone in these cute pajamas and uroko just sleeping in whatever flowy outfit he wears for the day. ]

There's only one—was one. It closed due to low enrollment, so children of the sea attend the one on the land presently.

[thefinalcontract]

[Thinks about Genshin Lore and dimensions. Closes eyes and stops thinking.]

Are dimension not particularly common in your world? They must be if this is a secret. Hopefully it won't cause you too much trouble if this airs in your homeland?

[That is the biggest concern about all this secret sharing...]

[helmswoman]

[ Those are basically already pajamas so it's fine... probably. ]

I see. I do imagine that it would be difficult to recruit to a school like that. Then this student, were they of the land or the sea?

[ringsmaster]

... I didn't think you'd just come out and say that to everyone.

[ But also he looks ready to fight anyone who gets too up in arms about it. ]

[thefinalcontract]

Or one who doesn't have any.

[thefinalcontract]

Why... It's the visage of Rex Lapis, the God of Liyue. [He adjusts the hood so the horns aren't flopping so much.] There's all sorts of tributes to his image back home. This seems to be an amusing little nod to our since passed God.

[thefinalcontract]

[Record scratch.]

And just what is it that Doctor Brenner has done?

[psychs]

I don't recall asking for your encouragement on a matter I consider quite closed for myself.

[ He shouldn't have even considered discussing his work when they first met. He never would have, if he realized what kind of person Brenner was from the start, but he's always been a generous judge of character. ]

Then again, you don't seem to know when to stop, do you?

[helmswoman]

[ GET HIS ASS ]

[cosmoid]

Of the sea. They are my charges in every aspect.
