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. ♥

...I do.

[ She closes her eyes briefly, thinking. ]

I told Phoenix already, but I do believe you feel remorseful. And I do believe your intentions were good. I know not every crime is committed with ill intent... but I suppose I never thought about it much further than that until getting to know you more. You're a changed man, I see that.

[ a beat. Maybe she's been immature all this time... there's something in the way Maruki asks her if she thinks he could be matched with her that makes her feel humbled. He's not the only one with flaws, nor the only reason their potential matchup hadn't been pondered upon sooner. ]

You know, I never used to believe in this "talking about your feelings" thing that psych people do. Kept not believing it until I drove myself into the ground. It got so bad I had to see an acupuncturist to "release my pent up stress," because it pushed me to fever and fainting spells.

[ WHATEVER THAT MEANS... but she wants to admit that she, too, had (has!) something to learn from him. Dry and comedic: ]

Think you can be paired up with someone like that, doctor?

[ Maybe they had been onto something when they had considered complementary opposites. They may not have seen much of it here, but he also has a remarkably stubborn streak, had dug in his heels and clung to his ideals until he had no other recourse but to change course. They've both become open to reconsidering, though only with remarkable difficulty.

For that reason, it's also fitting that they haven't considered their compatibility before now. Still, they arrived here all the same, didn't they? ]

...I think I can, yes. Who better to talk about your feelings with than someone who talks about his own too much?

[ Complementary opposites. He smiles softly. ]

We're the types who may not recognize what we need until it's staring us right in the face.

[ i can't believe it... incoming potential jamsleaf 2: electric boogaloo.... ]

You're telling me.

[ She muses, huffing audibly. ]

But if you think this means I'm going to suddenly talk about my "feelings" willy-nilly, you've got another thing coming.

[psychs]

[ We could have it ALL...

A genial chuckle. ]

Don't worry, these things take time. Even if Mithra and Brenner wind up not being a match, I like to think we still have a shot at being correct about this.

[ Third fourth time's the charm?? ]
