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.

[ Yukong scoots toward him too, not wanting to make him uncomfortable. And yet this is what must be done.

And the secret is... frankly, a heartbreaking one. He'd remained in denial for all those years, hoping and praying that his wife would return, and yet clearly that never happened. It rarely does, as far as she's aware. Once people break apart like that, coming back together in that way is nearly impossible. ]

It took it? I see...

[ She's quiet for a few seconds. ]

Do you think you'll wear it again, once it's returned to you?

[ringsmaster]

No, it didn't take it. I just... can't wear it. I can't even touch it or it'll slip right through my fingers.

[ There's probably a hidden meaning there. Thanks Riri.

He glances away. ]

I don't know. I think Zhongli's mad at me.

[helmswoman]

[ OH NO???? Why is this night so cursed. ]

I'll admit, it's difficult to imagine him being mad at anyone. Maybe there's more to it than that. [ She reaches out to gently set a hand on Lucifer's shoulder. ] What happened?

[ There's a lot going on so she missed... all that. She noticed Zhongli leave but figured he was going to grab a snack or something?? ]

[ringsmaster]

[ He hugs his arms around himself a little, and relays to her what he'd told Maruki, about the exterminations in Hell. ]

Zhongli overheard and said he needed to leave. He looked pretty stunned.

[helmswoman]

[ The secrets people are coming out with — they're quite shocking. And while Yukong isn't clear on all the rules of Lucifer's afterlife, this is still a lot to take in. ]

That is... quite a lot to process, even for someone as level-headed with Zhongli. It's possible he just needed some time to think it through before he discussed it with you. I don't think he's the sort of person who will write you off without talking everything through.

[ As much as she has her own questions about all of it, this isn't about her right now, so she bites her tongue for now. ]

[ringsmaster]

Mm. I guess.

[ He doesn't seem hopeful. ]

If you have questions, you can ask. I'm not asking you to just accept all that because Zhongli and I had a fight.

[helmswoman]

It didn't seem right to dump more at your feet when you're already processing him leaving as he did. We can always discuss it another time.
