Welcome to your fourth and final week, teens!

There aren’t many changes around the house today: it seems everyone is dialed in on what needs to be done and the upcoming week. Everything that was on the fritz last week is now back to normal, aside from the Dress Up Your Blorbo curse. You can still do that at will.

Anyway, it's fine that all seems quiet.

There’s plenty going on anyway this week.

[Feels like the conversation from Saturday never happened. Big surprise.]

Anna thinks her match is Mark. So let's assume that. And I wouldn't waste a vote on the clown show that is Tsukasa and his pet monster.

We have to pick a week two pairing to confirm it. The rest will fall into place after that with limited guess work. If you waste a truth booth on anything else then we're completely guessing.

But it's your choice in the end.

If we assume both of those things, then we've gotta test me and Dorothea, or Sanji and Asa.

[ Luckily, he just did the candy math on that one. Both seem pretty likely, in his eyes, and they'd get an answer based on their assumptions either way. ]

I think it's better to try to test a Team Wonder intra pair, rather than Team Showtime... since you guys already have one, and things are pretty unclear over on my team. [ one that shall not be named or brought up for the sake of akechi's sanity-- ] Not that I'm trying to get in there or anything.

That's right.

[He's not bothering with your candy math when we have pens and paper. Jesus Josuke.]

If you match with Dorothea then Sanji has to be paired with Kat because him and Asa is impossible and Steve is with Asa. That's assuming a great deal of things but that's where we're at. We are assuming Mark's match but Anna believes in it and I'm tired of fighting.

[And it would be Hilarious if she was wrong.]

Putting anything else in puts us at a greater disadvantage.

[ fuck your childhood man she's

being so fucking good right now and not saying a word!!!! but her displeasure is Known. ]

[ NO SENSE OF WHIMSY!!! Also this was his excuse to eat a ton of candy, definitely. ]

Hmm... but Steve can't be with Asa? [ a beat. ] Remember what Nene said? Neither of the leftover pairs last time, Steve and Asa, or Will and Anna are correct.

[ He tilts his head, looking up. ]

So doesn't that mean if we assume all of that — Yanami and Mark, Tsukasa and Minami — that it actually can't be me and Dorothea? Otherwise, it'd have to be Sanji and Steve, and Asa and Kat, and I don't think that's happening.

[He didn't listen anything Nene said. Who was that even? He quickly writes some things down and crosses a few things out (this was an aya mistake because she's stupid).]

Then it has to be Sanji and Asa which leaves... You and Kat and Steve with Dorothea. Still assuming a great deal of things... Most notable we're assuming heterosexual couplings in the final stretch.

If any single assumption is wrong then this all goes up in smoke and we lose or we have to hope for a miracle during the ceremony.

[ aya is NOT stupid ]

Yeah, I'd say it could also be me and Steve and Kat and Dorothea, but Steve's been pretty clear about not being into dudes.

[ And not into him specifically even, which is fine. But also, all the matches being straight???? Is that realistic??? ]

I dunno... this all rests on Yanami and Mark being a match, so they might be the ones to test, then. If they're right, we can go with this set of matches at the ceremony.

[Aya is.]

Whatever we do is a risk... [He shrugs his shoulders.] I've said all I can. I just wanted to avoid a vote that would net us zero new information.

I don't care one way the other how we vote.

[He's at a point that he's not even sure he cares they win.]

If you have more questions you know where to find me. I'm going to go before frothing contestants maul me for speaking.

Thanks for your input, Goro. You're better with numbers and not getting too caught up in gut feelings than I am.

[He did his best... she's pretty sure. And she can see Anna doing her best and a few of the others.]

Stay if you want. Nobody's going to maul you if we all stay cool. Nobody's attacking anybody. [NOBODY IS ATTACKING ANYBODY OR SHE'S GOING TO GO APESHIT]

[ distinctly no one is even reminding him of kat's precious words about being treated the way you treat others even if she's really thinking about it right now ]

[Two individuals are holding in their frothing by a thread, Kat.]

I'll pass. I'm good at sensing when I'm not wanted somewhere. [He gathers up his notes as he's not leaving those behind. People can play with their candies.] I'll see you around, Kat.

[ ... ]

No, just... sit down, okay? You're right that gut can't do it. So just... stay. You're part of this too. I can put my feeling aside and Minami-kun won't do anything either, unless you're really gonna let two people drive you off.

I am. So you can go back to whispering how terrible I am and how I'd be dead if the standards to this show were any lower. I'd hate to spoil all the fun you have.

Besides... my choice has, unfortunately, already been made for me so I have nothing more to contribute or say. Vote for whoever you want and pick whoever you want. I couldn't care less.

[ jesus christ ]

First off, I don't think we've ever whispered anything in our lives. Pretty sure we've always made it super clear, super openly, that we've got issues with you -- or at least how you say things, you sadsack. Secondly... Kat-chan didn't get a centimeter through to you after all, huh? Too bad. She really put her whole heart into what she said, but I guess the world still revolves around how miserable you are.

[ or how miserable he thinks it can make him. ]

Grow up already. I'm making an effort this week -- that's me not talking, by the way -- so why can't you?

Nothing you say means anything to me. I think you're the most selfish and self centered person here, so focused on what makes you happy. You can piss right off. I don't want to be around you any more than I have been.

So, you've successfully baited me into making a scene. I hope you're happy. Now you can go back to twittering about with that completely empty head of yours.

With no respect whatsoever, you've always made a scene, ever since that very first ceremony where you threw a whole stink about something better spoken about behind closed doors. I don't think I've got anything to do with it.

[ ... selfish, sure. she is. she won't deny that. self centered-- maybe. they still aren't words she's going to focus on though, and after a moment she stands up with crossed arms. not even taking her candy with her.

it's always gonna be like this. been accepted that it is, but-- it's their last shot, and... akechi's deduction is important right now. so anna waves her hand, sighing. ]

I can't vote for myself and I've already decided who I am gonna throw in for, so go ahead and discuss whatever. I'm gonna get some fresh air.

[ she'll give a small, comforting smile to will, since she knows he'd be concerned, but... otherwise, anna's gonna step out to go sit at the (non-alcoholic) bar until discussions are done. ]

[(I knew things weren't going to change overnight... and in some cases, it might be too late. Still... Is it only "you jump, I jump" when I'm not the one leaping?)]

Gosh, at least leave some of the paper! It's not secret, right?

[If she didn't want him to stay, then she wouldn't have invited him to do so. But he shouldn't be forced to be uncomfortable, either, if it would really be that bad...]

I'll let you know if there are any big developments, I guess. [Though she might not be able to pick up on everything... that, and he might have already left or gotten distracted by getting into it with Anna.]

If it was a secret I wouldn't have bothered to say anything.

[The reply is snappish and irritated and meant for everyone. Especially after Anna continues to poke and prod at his ever wearing thin nerves.]

No one is going to listen anyway. [(And they didn't.)] And I'd rather not waste my time any more than I already have.

[So... He's going to go. And he's taking all his notes with him.]

You've got Josuke's candy corn if you're so interested in results.

[ excuse you he's a demon not a monster!!! there's a difference!

but also like anna he is being good and not saying anything. ]

[WILL HASN'T FORGOTTEN!! he is poised to bring it up again, but when Akechi arrives with his own thoughts and theories. . . he decides against it, quietly hoping that Kat managed to get through to him enough]

[he doesn't say anything, because he has already talked about his own theories, but he does nod]
