week four | match ceremony & end

Welcome to the final match ceremony, where the teens bet everything on what they’ve figured out. Their wishes, their victory all depends on this.

Everyone is led to the same balcony set up as the previous weeks, and are left to get settled. There are cute finger foods and lovely drinks to have, as per usual.

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, as well as Ritsuka and Lessing still have their place of honor over to the side, and they’ve now been joined by Mark and Anna. Enjoy chilling over there! The rest of the contestants are ushered to the main seating area to get all settled in.

And, standing in front of the makeshift stage, with a set of six unlit lights behind him and three lit lights, stand the two Co-Overseers. The Tsukasa and Nene fits for the final ceremony! Classy! You all dressed up nicely too, right? Tsukasa is counting on you guys.

Both Nene and Tsukasa take the stage with practiced movements, as if they are very used to stepping onstage together, even though this is the first ceremony where Nene will be taking part.

Tsukasa makes a sweeping gesture to the gathered company, a sincerely bright smile on his face.

"Welcome to the final Match Ceremony. This is it! I hope you are all ready–though, of course, I’m sure that you are.”

He clears his throat, and nods towards the three lit lights.

“You now have three Perfect Match lights–one for Miss Addams and Ryuji, one for Ritsuka and Lessing and one for Mark and Anna. This means that you only need five more to finally succeed.”

He takes a deep breath, and then glances over at Nene, meeting her eyes.

She takes over. Despite her tremulous introduction before, when she’s onstage, she seems to have a professional confidence that was lacking before, voice clear as she continues, "You’ve picked the ones who are going up this week, so this shouldn’t be a surprise… but let’s start.”

Tsukasa nods, and turns his attention to Sanji.

"Sanji, if you please?"

--

Happy Match Ceremony! Each character picking this week 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.

THIS IS IT! WE FINALLY MADE IT!

[ Any logs he's ever kept have been so utilitarian as to be completely impersonal. Logs of items bought for his grandfather's research, or goods purchased for the other liches at the university. Very brief movements of suspects of the Echoes noted down to take notice of any potential patterns. The most personal he ever got was when he gave reports to Ebenholz about the repairs or work he'd been doing in his grafdom.

So this would be a big change for him, but he thinks he can manage it. He just needs to take those reports and... expand on them a little.

You're allowed to be selfish, and I'm allowed to spoil you if I want to.

Well, if you're saying it...

[ Then yeah. Probably, she has to accept it. But it makes her grin a little, affectionately. It's the most "so there" she's ever heard from him without him outright saying it. ]

So long as you want to, it's fine with me.

[ She'll never hear him say those exact words, though this may not be the last time she hears something that has that same sort of tone to it. Either way, he's smiling just a little, satisfied with her acceptance of what he's saying here. ]

I do.

[ ... Yeah, she's gonna miss him. ]

I guess we should get back to it, huh?

[ There are more people to see off, and they can't linger here forever. While it's less pressing for Lessing than some people, there are also duties he has to return to himself.

So with a small sigh, he'll nod, and push himself back onto his feet, before holding a hand out to her in a silent offer to help her up.

[ She doesn't really need it, but any last-minute moments of contact are ones Ritsuka won't pass up, so she'll reach up to grasp his hand and use that to pull herself to her feet.

Back to it, then. ]
