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.

More or less. [She sighs, irritated. Her hand ghosts to her side but leaves the site of the wound alone.]

He vanished without a trace, so I'd need to find out where he's hiding first. Once I do, though... I'm not letting him get away again.

[ozzz]

[He cracks a smile.]

How interesting. I'd like to see when that happens.

[alcoheal]

... Are you smiling? About the guy who stabbed me?

[Well, about her running off to stab him back. Still, he'll have to forgive her for being surprised by the rare sight.]

[ozzz]

[Indeed, he is. Why wouldn't he be?]

It'll be the moment he receives the frustration you've felt at his hands. That's a good thing, no? I'm curious to know how you'll do it.

[alcoheal]

... I haven't gotten there yet. [She's too impulsive to have planned out her vengeance; she just knows that she wants it.]

All I know is that I want to be there when he gets his just desserts, and I want to have a hand in it. [There's righteous anger in there, of course, but there might also be a little...worry. Embarrassment. Humiliation. It may have been an unfair fight, but she still failed, even if she was able to leave a clue for those who were actually able to pursue him.]

[ozzz]

[That's fair. She'll have to fight for the right if there are others in the race, but she seems determined enough.]

With a sword?

[She mentioned a stab or two, so . . . ]

[alcoheal]

Yeah, that'd be preferable. [That's an understatement.] See how he likes being a pincushion.

Maybe it's dumb - keep your mouth shut when a girl's complaining, or she'll kick you off - but I feel like I've got something to prove now.

[She's going to cut off any preemptive responses of "Yes, it's dumb." It both is and isn't like dealing with her professor friend sometimes; they do about as well with her fishing.]

[ozzz]

[Because she commanded him to keep his mouth shut, he wants to quiet even less.]

What's dumb about that? You were attacked, then grew frustrated when you lost. It's reasonable to challenge him in order to prove that you're stronger.

[Only the stars know how many times Oz has skewered Mithra to a state of near death. That hasn't stopped Mithra from going after him year after year. In fact, each loss has stoked the fire into the raging bonfire it is now.]
