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.

I don't mind at all. I'm feeling a little clingy myself.

[ No doubt the stupid potato is to blame, but he can't say he minds too much. Maruki is pleasant company. ]

Wanna walk through the gardens?

[psychs]

[ A nod, as he reaches over to give Lucifer's arm an appreciative pat. ]

I'd like that. Shall we?

[ With that decided, he starts down the hallway towards the double doors that will lead them out into the gardens. ]

[ringsmaster]

[ Out they go. Lucifer has a fondness for gardens, perhaps surprising to no one, and he finds Maruki to be pleasant company. This promises to be a nice time. ]

So… been holding up okay?

[ He recalls something about burning bridges. ]

[psychs]

[ smash cut to a couple of days later when maruki lights everything on fire ]

Ah...I've been better. Honestly, I'm just relieved I can wear normal clothes this week.

[ But he knows why Lucifer is asking, and it isn't to make small talk. Maruki has obviously been a little less participatory since the memory share, and it's been difficult to figure out how to move forward. ]

More people than just yourself saw my memories last week. Needless to say, they didn't go over well with most.

[ringsmaster]

[ He gives Maruki’s hand a small squeeze. ]

Not everyone was understanding, huh? I’m sorry. But… I guess if they can’t accept the things you’ve done in your past, maybe they’re not right for you anyway.

[psychs]

[ A shake of his head. ]

There's no need to apologize. While the method could have been something more desirable, the more out in the open my history is, the better. I don't wish to keep the truth from anyone.

...You make a good point, though. We just have to trust that the producers were aware themselves when they made our matches. [ A beat. ] Would you be able to accept your match doing something like that?

[ It' a litmus test now. ]

[ringsmaster]

Yeah. I can’t blame you for feeling how you felt, like maybe it was better if pain and suffering weren’t in the world.

[ He falls quiet a moment, eyes on the ground as they walk. ]

I thought I was giving humanity a gift when I gave them free will. And in doing so, I let evil in instead. Sometimes I’ve wished I could take it back.
