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.]

[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.

[pruriency]

[But I'm sort of the other woman here. He seems uneasy but he nods.]

I can try.

[contrapostasy]

[ Except I'm your other woman??? Maybe that's what you need to address though. ]

That's all I can ask.

[pruriency]

[How are hoy muy other woman when I asked you out first omg.]

I don't know what we're supposed to talk about.

[WHAT DO YOU EVEN DO IN THESE SITUATIONS]

[contrapostasy]

Not to sound completely self-involved, but you might want to talk about me and any expectations you have. You might also wantbto clear any air or learn about each beyond me?

[pruriency]

You realize that might not be easy at all to do, right?

[contrapostasy]

I have faith that you'll try your best.

[pruriency]

You're being awfully optimistic.

[contrapostasy]

I'm allowed to be, aren't I?

[pruriency]

Yes. I'm just nervous and I don't know what to expect from that conversation.

[contrapostasy]

I can promise you, he won't bite.

[pruriency]

[leans on Jun.]

You're terrible.

[contrapostasy]

Oh, yes. Very.

[pruriency]

You're lucky I like you anyway.

[contrapostasy]

Mysteriously.

[pruriency]

Is it that mysterious?

[contrapostasy]

Very.

[pruriency]

I'll tug your hair if you're being serious.

[contrapostasy]

You'll make me go bald, and then you won't love me anymore.

[pruriency]

[The "love" word is so casual that Hana doesn't even notice it at first.]

And we wouldn't want that. It'd be so tragic.

[contrapostasy]

[ Yes that's why it slipped, Jun also doesn't seem to think anything of it ]

Exactly.

[pruriency]

I'll hold back. I hope you understand a little why I like you, though.
