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.]

No. I have a really good tolerance.

[apotheca]

That isn't just good, that borders on the nonhuman.

[justasnake]

I'm part human.

[apotheca]

[did. did it really take Ren ten days to learn this.]

... of course you're only part human.

[justasnake]

And part demon. Uhm. Some sort of snake demon.

I don't know my parents so that's all I can. Say.

[apotheca]

Well. That's certainly more than enough.

[DRINKS. HIS. TEA.]

[justasnake]

Is it okay?

[apotheca]

[waves his empty hand.]

It's fine. At this point, I'm most ambivalent.

[justasnake]

I don't know that word.

[apotheca]

I could not care less whether you're a snake, a demon, or an alien. You're just you. That's good enough.

[justasnake]

Oh, it means you don't care.

Uhm. Thank you.

[apotheca]

[he sighs and fans himself with his hand.]

Just drink your tea, Kasey.

[justasnake]

...

[drinks]

[apotheca]

... is it sweet enough?

[justasnake]

It is. It's really good.

[apotheca]

Oh. It is? This was my first time making such a large batch of sweet tea, so...

[he shrugs, a little helplessly.]

[justasnake]

You did a good job. You're really good at all kinds of tea.

[apotheca]

I'll make sure to add that to my resume.

[justasnake]

You could be uhm. Charming selling tea at a store.

[apotheca]

I don't think "charming" is a word that readily applies to my personality, but thanks for the compliment.

[justasnake]

You remind me of.

Of a person I love very much,

So uhm. To me. It's charming.

[apotheca]

[the tips of his ears redden.]

-- ah. That's nice?

[justasnake]

Oh, you're a little red now...

[apotheca]

Must be the heat.

[he goes through the show of fanning himself with his hand, but that doesn't cure his embarrassment.]
