[Sanji is in a t-shirt and jeans today, a casual departure from his usual suits with or without the jacket. He exits the kitchen with a couple plates of fried bread crusts that he sets down on the table for others as snacks. Everyone willing gets sandwiches later for the next meal.]

Is it time? What do you think will happen?

[haircared]

[ immediately honing in on Sanji snacks..... Josuke is dressed casually too, they are Comfy BoysTM. ]

Hm... I'm not too sure.

[ He puts his finger to his temple. ]

They're pretty much opposites, at least on the outside, right? Not in a bad way. But they've actually got some things in common. They're both cool, and I guess they're honest in different ways.

[ Wednesday is blunt and Ryuji is really expressive. ]

It'd be damn lucky if we could get one on the first go...!

[hgeegh]

[Sanji eyes the screen while Josuke speaks, nodding along.]

They do seem to get on well. Does Ryuji like spiders, too? [Fortunate bastard, if so.]

[haircared]

Uh.... I don't think so?

[ He could be wrong, though. It's just that Ryuji seems a little more like the nervous type around bugs... ]

But, it doesn't matter. Not like you have to like all the same stuff to be paired up. I bet there's tons of stuff Ryuji likes that Wednesday doesn't.

[makeine]

They're a definite match, Sanji-kun! There's no doubt about it! Women's intuition! I'll eat a spoonful of wasabi if I'm wrong!

[ she's really putting up the high stakes

snagging some fried crusts. yum..!!! ]

[haircared]

I'll hold you to it!

[ he won't forget this wager, yanami. ]

[hgeegh]

Your certainty is inspirational as ever, Yanami-san! But you don't have to do that; food shouldn't be used to torture anyone, much less a lady.

[And then the crust gets thrown.]

[flaweddetective]

My detective's intuition is saying... A complete failure. Or what do they call it? A mismatch? But we can only hope for otherwise. It would be nice to take two people completely off of the list and be one step closer to our wishes.

[haircared]

[ Slight frown... ]

...Kind of a dick thing to say, man.

[ Casually, in his usual laid-back cadence. It is kind of mean, but he's not going to deny him his right to his opinion. But someone's gotta say it. ]

[flaweddetective]

I don't think there's anything wrong with saying it can be wrong. It's all well and good to be hopeful but being realistic is just as important.

My apologies if I came off too blunt.

[Internal eye roll. When the no matches start coming in this group is going to be insufferable]

[makeine]

[ okay no she's chucking a crust at akechi ]

Shut up! A man who's never been in love before couldn't understand what makes them a perfect match! Women's intuition trumps detective's every time! That's why Carmen Sandeigo eluded people for years!

[hgeegh]

[NOT THE CRUST—]

[flaweddetective]

[What the fuck is she talking about?]

Haha... What are you talking about, exactly?

[hgeegh]

Well . . . I don't disagree with considering the possibility.

[Even though the way Akechi puts it makes it sound like he's excited for failure.]

[flaweddetective]

If you expect both outcomes you won't be that disappointed by a negative result.

[meowdicine]

[ uhhhhhhh well everyone's shaking their head at akechi and maomao's like "what's it mean if i agree with him" ]

Setting your expectations low?

[flaweddetective]

In a show like this? You have to.

[He shrugs.]

People are thinking with their hearts and not their heads. That may pay off in some ways but in the long run it'll screw us. That's a fact. Not everyone is walking out of here with "true love" but we can all walk out of here with a wish.

[singurarity]

Ideally, they're a match and we hug Ryuji and throw them a party that's still low-key enough for Wednesday to endure.

And if they're not a match, we hug Ryuji and throw them a party that's still low-key enough for Wednesday to endure.

[ confidently!!! ]

[makeine]

Ooooh, I'll get to planning!!!!!!!! We should get some more banners she can throw her axe at!!!!!!!

[ like pin the tail on the donkey ]

[singurarity]

Maybe like one shaped like a bulls' eye? [ She doubts Tsukasa will be up for giving them producer-shaped banners. ]

[hgeegh]

I like the way you think, Ritsuka. I'll have sandwiches made for the occasion, whichever the outcome may be.

[singurarity]

Thanks for your help, Sanji! I'm looking forward to more of your food!

[ She's so simple. ]

[meowdicine]

[ food........ maomao's grabbing a crust only after someone else has, turning to look at sanji as he speaks. ]

Ipheally phey maph.

[ yes, she said that with her mouth full.

maomao does really hope they do, though, if only for the fact they were brave enough to be the first ones to go in there. swallowing, she continues: ]

Unfortunately, it would be reckless to say that the chances are very high.

[hgeegh]

[She's cute with food in her mouth . . . ]

It's our very first booth. While I'm hoping for the best, I think it's reasonable to have doubts.

[meowdicine]

[ get standards sanji

as maomao takes another bite ]

Mm. Ish fbe goosh pho phet-

[ ugh, this is hard. another chew, chew, swallow. ]

Excuse me. It would be good to get two potential candidates out of the way, to make everyone's [ my ] choices easier. And...

[ well. it'd be nice to see them succeed. ]

... Something fortunate to start would be good for morale.

[ which should balance out akechi, who is bad for morale ]
