Day 10

[fateaccompli]

[It's awfully warm today. There are cool drinks in bowls of ice, and shady umbrellas anywhere that there's likely to be a lot of sun. It's a little cooler inside, or in the caves and grottos near the ocean, but even the woodland paths are muggy and unpleasant. Swimming might be the thing to do, today.]

[The poll board has switched over to proclaim:]

HANA & RUSSI ARE: NOT A MATCH

Nicon pipes up to say: "Just a reminder to everyone, we're pretty much halfway through! Day 20 will be the last day, if you don't get everyone matched before then. I think you're starting to narrow things down, but . . ."

[ the poll ]
[Your goal today is to pair off with someone you think might be your own soulbonded. Remember, this needs to be consensual, and it must be pairs.]

[Functionally, the poll below has only members of the white team. Black team members are responsible for placing a vote on their partner only when you and your partner have mutually decided. You can do so AT ANY TIME—if you come to an agreement with a partner early on in the day, please do toss up a vote so it's clear to everyone that you're thinking about it! You can switch things around later, or move your vote to "I'm thinking about it…" if you're reconsidering. You can also handwave the discussion and pair up OOCly; the key part is that we don't end up with two people on one person, anyone without a pair, or an OOC misunderstanding that would make it a one-sided agreement.]

Another hobby, huh? I bet that'll make Russi very happy.

[pruriency]

Cooking can be a form of art.

[Except now he's kind of blushing. I KNOW WHAT YOU'RE DOING.]

A lot of people appreciate great food.

[contrapostasy]

Russi especially though. I can't be the only one who's noticed.

[pruriency]

That he eats a lot?

[contrapostasy]

More that he really enjoys food. It's cute.

[pruriency]

Ah, that's true. That's why I cooked for him, actually.

[contrapostasy]

Oh, you did already? I didn't know that.

[pruriency]

That's why I could give Seo the crab cakes.

[contrapostasy]

I didn't realize that was purely for Russi's sake though. You're really taken with him.

[pruriency]

Ah. I also prepared crepes for Eliza and I promised to make more for her every morning.

[contrapostasy]

Are you trying to play it off?

[pruriency]

Is it working?

[contrapostasy]

No.

[pruriency]

Do you want me to admit I like him?

[contrapostasy]

Not exactly what I was aiming for, since I already figured that out.

[pruriency]

Then what?

[contrapostasy]

Encouragement, in my own way.

[pruriency]

[. . . Takes Jun's hand.]

Ah. What's that look for?

[contrapostasy]

Nothing, really. I'm only giving my blessings.

[pruriency]

[Kind of embarrassed and uncertain.]

He knows I like you.

[contrapostasy]

Is that a problem?

[pruriency]

No, he didn't say it was.

[contrapostasy]

Maybe I should talk with him anyway.

[ Pauses. Because that's a thought. ]

Have you spoken to Asato?

[pruriency]

Ah, no. I didn't feel I was in a position to do that.

[contrapostasy]

Why not? I think it'd be sensible for you both to, rather than just relying on me to communicate any concerns. Especially since you might find that awkward.
