week one | match ceremony
The weather is temperate and mild for the match ceremony on this fine Saturday evening, and the crew leads everyone onto a balcony with a cute seating set-up of couches and love-seats. The vibes are Trendy. There are enough places to sit for everyone, but there are only two single chairs, so everyone else is gonna have to cozy up on the couch. Or you can cuddle up in the chairs. I’m not your mom. Also there is only one egg seat. There's mood lighting, like fairy lights.
To one side, there's a small stage of sorts, with a podium where the characters will place their hands to lock in their answers.
Wednesday and Ryuji are led off to the other side so that they can take a seat of honor over on a comfy couch to one side--close to the other contestants, but just far enough away that it's clear they're getting special treatment. Don't you wanna go to the Honeymoon Suite now? Huh???
Anyway.
There are non-alcoholic drinks for people to take at will (all the better to catch spittakes on camera), and the weather is breezy and nice.
And, standing in front of the makeshift stage, with a set of seven unlit lights behind him and one lit light, stands the Overseer. He is dressed the part, of course. He also... looks tired for a moment, but he snaps back to his Proper Hostly Character as soon as the cameras are properly on them and everyone is settled in.
He presses a hand to his chest, sweeping the other outwards.
"Welcome, everyone, to your first Match Ceremony!"
He beams, all classic Tsukasa Sparkles. "As your host, allow me to explain how this will work."
For... the audience mostly. Maybe also for Ryuji? He's not sure how many of the contestants still don't know. It's fine.
"The lights behind me represent each Perfect Match. If--no, when you manage to light every single one, you'll have won, and you will all receive your wishes. For each Perfect Match you find at this ceremony, a light will be lit! And it is your task to figure out which pairs led to those lights appearing."
He nods firmly, eyes and expression shining with confidence in the competitors sitting before him. "And you do not even have to worry about losing a wish this week! It isn't possible for you to have a blackout, since Miss Addams and Sakamoto were a Perfect Match. Congratulations!"
Get on with it, Tsukasa. He clears his throat, pauses just long enough for there to be an inevitable easy cut to commercial break when they edit this later, and then:
"We will begin this week with Team Wonder."
He extends his hand to Dorothea, the other pressed over his heart. "If the lovely Miss Arnault would come up to start us off...?"
Looks like it’s the moment of truth, so strap in.
--
The ceremony has finally arrived! Each character on Team Wonder will be called up in an order determined by the producers (read: rng'd). Each will get their own sub-toplevel that characters can react to at will.
After the matches have all been locked in, we will then find out just how many you all got right.
Otherwise, feel free to use this log for reactions/toplevels for pre- and post-ceremony, and anything else you please. The world of reality TV dating is yours to embrace.

Ah-- did you want to?
[lifting a hand to tug at his scarf, a bit sheepish]
I wasn't really sure what to wear, so. . .
[he wore his STINKY COAT!!]
no subject
[ it's fine... he can get a good look of her cleavage when he has to LEAVE HER ]
White and blue are a good pair.
no subject
[but her comment makes him smile]
Visually, and otherwise?
no subject
Mmhmm! It's like seafoam on the ocean... Ever been?
no subject
I have.
[the memory brings forth a peaceful smile, eyes slipping shut]
Several times, though only recently. I grew up in a small village in the woods, so. . . I wasn't able to see the ocean until I started traveling.
The first time I saw it. . . [gosh. how does he put that feeling into words. . .?] It made me feel like the world was so big, and I was just a tiny speck on its surface.
no subject
... My city's right on the sea. So I'm pretty used to seeing it, and swimming in it, and all... It definitely makes you feel small.
[ she misses it actually. ]
Maybe we'll get to go together sometime. Or they can make a mock-up for us. I'll bury you in the sand.
no subject
[despite having been to the ocean he has never had a proper modern beach day?? why would she bury him in the sand!! but considering who it is, he definitely is taking it as some kind of. . . fun activity, even if he can't quite imagine why]
[still, his response is bewildered]
But not my head, right??
no subject
[ god she's so emboldened right now. ]
1/2
[CHEEKS TURN PINK. is. . . burying someone in beach sand a kissing ritual of sorts?? what the heck!!]
2/3 ACTUALLY
I--
no subject
[I'M SO SORRY TO RUIN THIS CUTE MOMENT]
-- oh. . .
no subject
a sigh and she'll lift her head to release him reluctantly. ]
Well, seems like you're up! I'm not surprised -- he declared you too when everyone was quizzing each other. Let's talk a little more later, Will-kun.
[ about... the beach, maybe... ]
no subject
I'd like that. We'll talk more about the beach.
[and!! visiting together!!]
[she gets one last smile as Will lingers with her for a second longer. . . before he turns to head towards Minami]
no subject
at least she'll have to go up eventually too. sorry tenma...... your forced hand....... it's because she likes their host she's the least bit cooperative....... ]
no subject
[when the final matches are made, Will kind of. . . frowns a little?? he casts Anna a small, worried glance, and he can't help but worry that maybe. . .]
[. . .]
[. . . is her not being chosen his fault? are people holding themselves back because he is. . .]
[. . .]
[GONNA HAVE TO CHECK-IN WITH HER ABOUT THIS LATER. . .]
