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. ♥

[ NOO, don't look at her, Yukong... ]

N-No, I suppose not...

[ She blinks. He is still going. Please do not look at her especially while she picks that popcorn out of her lap and then pops it back into her mouth. ]

Six thousand or so years is quite a long time... I guess it shouldn't be so surprising that he's a god - or Archon, or whoever he calls it - either, in that sense...

[helmswoman]

I cannot imagine living such a long life, to be quite honest. Even a thousand years can take such a toll...

[ Does it justify how Zhongli treated Lin, and what he said to her? Yukong is not convinced, but at least he is contrite now.

She does reach out to daintily grab her own handful of popcorn, eating them one piece at a time as she watches. ]

I suspected he was not telling us everything, but this is... quite the tale.

[hearthwarming]

It is...

[ Ori will assist in popcorning by holding her little bowl of it out at Yukong so she can take some more easily. ]

Even being the god of that element, though... It wasn't right for him to say those things to Lin, the other night. For as much as she - or maybe most of us - didn't know certain things about Zhongli, he... he doesn't know what she's been through, either.

[ But... Lin takes it well. Quite well, at least to start. Ori can't help but feel proud of her. ]

I do think it was the right choice to send them today, strategic or not.

[helmswoman]

I agree. I felt that was uncalled for.

[ Still, at least Zhongli is doing his best to make amends for that now. He had acted rashly and stubbornly in the moment, and it was not for him to decide who is worthy of what element, Archon or not.

Yukong is also proud of Lin's response. So measured, so patient all things considered. At Ori's next comment, Yukong glances away from the screen for a moment to look to her, then nods. ]

Right. If we hadn't, then they may have simply chosen to avoid each other for the rest of our time here and never would have talked things over. I think it's best that the air has now been cleared.

[hearthwarming]

[ AND THEN HE TURNED INTO A DRAGON. Ori just quickly grabs Yukong by the shoulder with one hand and points at the screen with the other! Look!! LOOK!!! ]

[helmswoman]

[ WHOA, WHOA. Yukong is startled, mainly by the way that Ori is seizing her rather than what is on screen. Although that is also quite the sight to behold, but her familiarity with the Vidyadhara means that she is not shocked by the sudden transformation as some.

Most godlike beings, which Zhongli seems to be, are able to change their forms. Nonetheless, she can't say she was expecting this. ]

After keeping his secrets so tightly against his chest, now he does this...

[ What a capricious man. ]

[mechanideptus]

[ Sits here in 5000ish years old. Don't mind her, she's just going to drink her wine. ]

[hearthwarming]

[ Ori glances over, particularly as Zhongli had mentioned adeptus in his speech, but if Xianyun doesn't comment on it, she won't press for now. ]

[mechanideptus]

[ She saw that glance, Ori. ]

Do you have any questions about what he has said? One knows the history, albeit not to the same intimate degree as Rex Lapis.

[hearthwarming]

Uhhhh...

[ She points at the screen. YOUR BESTIE TURNED INTO A DRAGON, ]

[mechanideptus]

[ HE SURE DID. That was unexpected, and while Xianyun is surprised she's not bowled over like many other observers are. ]

That's his true form. Prime of Adepti, God of Contracts and the Archon of Geo, as he said.

One takes the form of a crane.

[ Which is almost as weird??? But not to her. ]
