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.

[Dusty is snoozing around here and available for anyone who wants to be purred at or have something comforting to pet. She sits up at attention at Ritsuka's Cool Speech and raises her hand.]

Maomao is really smart and sweet... [She was sitting with her, so she looks over at her with a big bright smile. The thing with the spider venom was weird! But she was so nice with the banner, and she knows a lot that Kat will never know.] ... but she said something about wanting to be matched with someone who only talks to her once or twice a day. And I...

[She stops, turns a little pink. Eheh... Well, she likes being close with people.] I think it would be doing her a disservice...

[ dusty....................... hi kitty....... she'll take a rub........ ]

You think you're too clingy for her? Maybe it's exactly what she needs, though.

[He purrs, and his stars get a little more glittery. We will assume this is before Minamibowl]

Maybe... if we're talking about complimentary opposites still. I'll wait until she weighs in!

[(... What if I was hoping for someone who was into me, though?)]

[ yes please. wow... what a unique feline. wonder what breed does this. ]

Well, it's not like they have to be opposites... Is there anyone you're hoping it is? Oh, no, don't tell me right now -- let's talk about that later. Answer this instead: do you wanna be spoiled, or spoil someone?

Sometimes what you want isn't always what you need... do you think something like that would be a deal-breaker?

[ A pause. ]

Though I guess I should probably ask that of her, huh.

[personal profile] gravkitty 2024-11-17 03:09 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, I'm not sure how strongly she feels about it...

[If she's still here, Kat will turn to her directly to ask as well just so it's not like. Talk about Maomao time with Maomao right here.]

Am I like the average guy you're looking for?
