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.

[ozzz]

Then I'll choose Brenner.

[voxnozzz]

[ ........ giving him a glance, but that's about it. ]

[hnl]

[ …

Okay not that he can say this is a dumb strategy because he employed it himself, but coming from Mithra, he is baffled now-]




Why.

[thefinalcontract]

Why not?

[He smiles over his tea cup, pleasantly.]

I think it's a perfect match.

[hnl]

If we’re angling for nothing short of drama, yes.

But I’d like to hear his logic.

[Mithra “logic”.]

[ozzz]

["Because no one else would choose you."]

We were matched in the previous ceremony. [His answer then still stands.] And the rest of the team isn't an option.

[hnl]

[He won't ask why the rest of the team isn't an option, mostly because he suspects anyone he'd pick is already going to be shuffled into another pair for the upcoming ceremony.]

Fair enough. Though when I picked you, it was based on the strategy of choosing an extreme opposite. You can pick someone else if you think anyone else fits that bill by now, you know.

[ozzz]

No. If there's an opposite, no one is more appropriate than you.

[hnl]

[That actually makes him scoff, wry.]

Once again, we agree. Well. In that case, thank you for letting me know what to expect.

[Guess that's settled; easy enough.]

[ozzz]

I didn't say it for you . . .

[It's not like Brenner is picking.]

[hnl]

But you let me know, all the same.

[Buddy he’s still the one getting called up]

[hearthwarming]

[ She will ask why the rest of the team isn't an option, unfortunately, ]

Manuela isn't an option, definitely, but... no to the rest of us, huh...?

[ozzz]

[Oh.]

There are too many similarities between all of you. An opposite suits me the most.

[cosmoid]

[ also throwing a glance over here but saying nothing. ]

[alcoheal]

[We are literally all glancing at Mithra tonight, but Manuela will actually say something because that's what she wants to do.]

What happened to "do as you please," or whatever?

[ozzz]

[Why is everyone looking at him.]

What do you mean?

[alcoheal]

Just trying to figure out if that's what you're doing here.

[ozzz]

That is my choice. Are you against it?

[alcoheal]

I think it's stupid. [But she doesn't say she's against it. Out of all of them... he's the one who'd say he was fine with a match that would leave him alone, isn't he?] But it's what you've decided.

[ozzz]

[Stupid, she says. He shifts at the insult, but his shoulders sag as they often do at her concession. Eventually, he nods.]

Yes.
