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. ♥

[ She's chilling outside for the time being, leaning up against one of the wooden beams in the garden. ]

...I'm fine. [ She says, shortly, still tensed up and looking ready to fight. To tell the truth, she wishes everything had ended in a brawl — at least then she wouldn't feel this charged up. ] Just thinking of what our next move should be, that's all.

[ It's easier to focus on the work, if only to not think about the personal note everything had taken on. ]

I'm sorry if you got wrapped up in it.

[ she didn't exactly look at who all was near the table!! ]

[helmswoman]

Not at all.

[ Yukong had mainly been on the outskirts of everything that happened because Court was sick as hell, so she had opted to stay out of it rather than adding fuel to the fire, and eventually it all calmed down. ]

I suppose I shouldn't be surprised that Zhongli, with his relation to the earth, would end up being so stubborn. But... I did want to ask you, as I'm also wondering about our next move — what do you think of going to the truth booth with him, after all that?

[ Yukong sighs and takes a seat on a nearby bench, leaving Lin to her spot. ]

I couldn't say as much before, but Aurelia and I are allowed to submit votes for that as well, and now I'm left at a bit of a loss.

[ziplash]

[ After a long pause: ]

I don't have a problem with it. He might.

[ Yes, even after all that, she's still willing to go to the booth with him. Because she knows that this game is bigger than her personal feelings. If it's more likely that they're the ones that are matched, then they should go, because they all really need a win right now. Sure, they'll figure out one new match by sending either of the fifty-fifty pairs, but if they send the wrong one, she thinks it'll only further negatively impact morale. ]

There's still the possibility we were matched together to spite both of us. That might be more than we have to go off of with Xianyun and Phoenix. [ At least it's... Something, she guesses. ] Logistically, I guess it doesn't matter which pair it is. But I'd prefer us to get a correct match in the booth, personally.

[helmswoman]

I agree with you. And to be honest, I'm struggling to find any reason why Xianyun and Phoenix would be paired together. They don't have any commonalties the way that you and Zhongli do, nor do they seem like a pair that would cause any particular drama...

[ Yukong trails off, thinking through it for a few more seconds as she tilts her head to stare up at the clouds. ]

Which means that my instincts tell me to vote for the two of you. I want to hope that Zhongli would accept that this is what we need to do in order to win the game.

[ Surely he would understand, and was only thrown off by having to reveal so many secrets so unexpectedly...? ]

[ziplash]

If that's what your instincts tell you, then I trust you. You're a woman of good judgment — vote with your gut.

[ At the rest of what she says, Lin just shrugs, looking off to the side. With dry, stoic humor: ]

He'll accept it one way or another, even if I have to drag him there kicking and screaming.

[helmswoman]

[ Yukong lets out a husky laugh at that and shakes her head. She is not surprised at all that Lin would say this. ]

Let us hope it doesn't come to that.
