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.

[ A nod. He likes to think they have a decent shot at being a match, and that isn't just because they get along well. He can't say he's looking forward to being put under a spotlight again after what he admitted to, but, well, his choices are made. ]

I like our odds. I've been thinking about something that Uroko-san said, too. That I'm probably matched with someone who could look past what I admitted to earlier. You seemed pretty surprised, but does it change your opinion of me overall?

[ He doubts Phoenix would float the idea of them going in together if he thinks him a terrible person now, but it's better to be sure. ]

[bewrightback]

In some ways. But ultimately, not for the worse.

[He offers a light smile.]

I feel like I have a deeper understanding now of your journey and what you've been through. I see now the mistakes you've been trying to move past, and in the process becoming the good man I know here in the present.

So yeah. I'd say I'm ready to take a chance with you.

[ He's holding his breath more than he realizes — at least until Phoenix confirms his opinion, and Maruki finds himself smiling easily in return. ]

I'm glad to hear it. Then, if everyone else agrees, I'd be happy to take that chance with you.

[ And...who knows? Even if they don't come out of the well as matches, in won't be in vain. They'll still have learned something, and maybe they'll be pleasantly surprised.

That would be a nice change of pace. ]

[He has a real good feeling about this! He grins widely now that everything's confirmed. It's oddly exciting!]

Good. I'm really glad we got that settled. Our chances are looking good, and I'm ready to take that truth booth on!

[bewrightback]

...Wait.

[bewrightback]

[He grips Maruki's shoulders.]

How are we getting down the well??!!!

[ .........Oh. ]

[psychs]

[ As he grips Phoenix's shoulders back: ]

I-I didn't even think about that! Maybe we can ask to borrow a stepladder? There has to be some safe, nonmagical way of getting down there...

[bewrightback]

A stepladder? [(Maybe we really are a perfect match!)]

That would be ideal if we could get our hands on one! I know I don't trust the rope that was there...
