Day 16

[fateaccompli]

[It's raining steadily today.]

[The poll board this morning has switched over to proclaim:]

MORGEN AND RUSSI . . . ARE A MATCH ☆

[Nicon has shown up again, slightly dressed down from his usual slightly formal outfit, hair down out of its high ponytail. He looks a little tired, but relaxed and in high spirits.]

"Good work, everybody. I knew you could do it. You know, Morgen and Russi, if you wanted to stick around, I'm okay with it. Or you can head off on your own. I wouldn't want you to miss time hanging out with people, and it's at a point where I don't think it'll interfere . . ."

[He lets that trail off. But yes—Morgen and Russi can choose to stick around, for now, unless they were looking forward to that date, of course.]

White	Black
Hana	Viola

[ 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 black team. White 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.]

[Makelo and Lysagora are around eating breakfast with everyone. Sort of watching Nicon, because he seems to be in a mood to talk today, after vanishing yesterday.]

Re: [ the deities ]

[apotheca]

[well. for all his huffing and passive aggression yesterday, someone who is small and distinctly witchy seems determined to avoid catching Nicon's attention over coffee and croissants... except for the quick dart of his eyes over the deer's loosened ponytail and dress code.]

[justasnake]

We did it!

[burdenshared]

I guess math worked. If anyone missed their match I got a list.

[apotheca]

Math eventually worked. If they hadn't given us Anna and Lisbeth, well. It may have taken us all the way until the final day.

[bowtiedbones]

Math worked! We got through all three million, six hundred twenty-eight thousand, eight hundred combinations!

[fateaccompli]

Well, I don't think it was just the math . . .

[justasnake]

Everyone is so smart.

[howintreeguing]

Mine is... Kaname, right...?

[bowtiedbones]

Morgen and Russi can stay??

[fateaccompli]

Well, I thought . . . under the circumstances.

[pruriency]

We should do that bonfire party tonight.

[morgen]

Well, buckle me to a horse and flog me silly.

[fateaccompli]

Oh my.

[apotheca]

[sips his coffee.]

Well. Hm.

[pruriency]

Ah. Was it that unexpected?

[memregain]

That sounds terrible!

[contrapostasy]

We should have a party.

[fateaccompli]

Isn't it a little early?

[he's smiling a little tiredly, though]

[pruriency]

Eliza and I talked about doing a bonfire.

[tytosmima]

[ this guy doesn't come up for breakfast until it's very nearly lunch time, slumping into a chair with some tea and looking exhausted.

but, well, that's what happens when you're up all night in the forge again fucking up your fucked up sleep schedule. ]

Oh... we got one.

[fateaccompli]

Fen . . . poor thing.

[pruriency]

[There's only a hint of uneasiness for a moment, but it's replaced quickly.]

Ah, we weren't wrong after all!

[memregain]

[Instead of eating food, you might find him somewhere out in the open.

With a pillow against his face.

You can't see it.]

[bowtiedbones]

[omgosh]

Russiiiiiii

[moonbiting]

[seo's wearing his thick hoodie, sweatpants, and gloves from yesterday, along with his face mask (and now a pair of sunglasses), but he still cheers when he sees the result]

Yes! I think we've got it...!

[howintreeguing]

I feel... so encouraged. I'm glad that Morgen and Russi... can stay, too.
