WEEK FOUR MINGLE

ᯓ⭐ WEEK FOUR MINGLE

Heya, lovebirds! You're entering the final week and things sure are... great.

Right?

Well, whether you're feeling great or not, you're going to find yourself looking your best in formal wear this week! Suits, gorgeous dresses, fabulously outlandish outfits, you name it, you're stuck in it. No sweatpants or lab coats for anyone this week. We have standards.

And we also believe in telling the truth, one way or another!

That's right, if you're asked a question, any question at all, no matter how innocent or dire, you are compelled to speak your most truthful answer. It could be who you think is the hottest in the castle. It could be your opinion on orange juice. Whatever it is, there is no longer a brain-to-mouth filter in place!

And maybe you'll figure that out and all decide to be merciful, but Riri will be popping up every now and then. And Riri? Riri will not be merciful.

Except for one thing, and that's a note in the main room that states simply: You all suck at this, so this week, our good ol' lesbian duo can now speak normally. You're welcome. ♥

Right.... I don't have any better suggestions or strategies myself, but I just hope people can keep an open mind should that become... disproven, somehow.

[ BUT... going with the assumption that MARTHA IS REAL!! ]

Even with that assumption, there's still so many unknowns, so... Haha. At least Mithra's been very decisive about your, um... "suitability" as a match.

[hnl]

Mithra sees logic in it that I don't. [🥲] I'm not sure if I should give him credit for that or not. I prefer to see it as this show stirring up drama just for the sake of it.

[hearthwarming]

[ a withering laugh, bc.. yeah. ]

So I've heard... At this point, though, I'm having trouble seeing other options. For either of you.

[hnl]

I think you're missing the point, Oriphi. Mithra was initially picked because he was a flagrant non-option. You could apply this with just about anyone we're unsure about it at this point.

What we're operating on is best guesses right now, unless the potato is oh-so generous to give us another hint.

[hearthwarming]

Oh... Right. It must have slipped my mind, because of everything else going on around you.

[ a flat look... ]

We won't be given another hint so easily, though. I'm sure we'll have to put in a lot of extra effort, at this point.

[hnl]

[He just smiles pleasantly enough. Are you gonna be like this too binch.]

I’ve put in plenty of effort so far and continue to be willing to do so. It’ll be worth it to get back what’s been lost to us.

[hearthwarming]

[ BE LIKE WHAT? She is only speaking from observation!! ]

Your lost memory...

[ she briefly wonders, given all that's been aired out about him now, whether such a memory might be better left forgotten. what if it's the secret to his evil research and without it he can't ever continue... but no. a mad scientist always finds a way. ]

...There's a lot at stake. But say we manage to pull a victory... what is it that you would use your wish for?

[hnl]

To be honest, I haven’t given much thought to the wish itself.

[And whether they realize it or not, because of the truth effect, this isn’t a lie.]

It was never my priority; only an extra reward. Though I suppose if I had to pick… I’d have all my children unlock their potential earlier.

[hearthwarming]

[ She... doesn't like the sound of that at all. ]

And by "earlier," you mean...

[ Before the torture? ]

[hnl]

No, I mean... more like right now. I'd like to know how their abilities manifest fully, without the struggles that are part of the journey.

[So less torture! Though one might assume this is more for his own curiosity than his kids' true wellbeing. Still, it works out, right? (dubious)]
