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.]

[ 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.]

[Jun are you wearing glasses again.]

I should probably take care of the vote first, though.

[contrapostasy]

[ He is not, much to Hana's disappointment I'm sure ]

You're voting for me, aren't you?

[pruriency]

[He will live, and Jun is very nice to look at even without the glasses.]

Yes, we need to confirm it.

[contrapostasy]

Deja vu.

[pruriency]

. . . I know. But this time, we actually think it's possible.

[contrapostasy]

Well, I don't need convincing.

[pruriency]

Do you still feel the same way? It's nearly been confirmed by now.

[contrapostasy]

... no. I recognize I was just looking for excuses at the time.

[pruriency]

. . . To dismiss the idea?

[contrapostasy]

Not necessarily, I... just wasn't ready in a number of ways. The same could be said for you, right?

[pruriency]

Yes, that's right. A part of me still feels uneasy, but it should go away with time.

[contrapostasy]

At least we'll be in this together.

[pruriency]

We will. It's an odd but warm feeling that I don't want to give up.

[contrapostasy]

[ Lightly teasing! ]

I think that's called "infatuation".

[pruriency]

Is that how you're calling it?

[contrapostasy]

What are you calling it?

[pruriency]

I'm not sure. Doesn't that word has bad connotations sometimes?

[contrapostasy]

Yes and no. It's natural to be infatuated at the very beginning of a relationship?

[pruriency]

I know. I guess that works.

[contrapostasy]

Sorry if you wanted to hear the big L word. I'm still not completely convinced of that yet.

[pruriency]

[If it works, Hana is blushing and freaking out a little.]

I never said that!

[contrapostasy]

The implication was pretty strong, and that reaction...

[pruriency]

. . . I just meant it isn't a fleeting feeling.

[contrapostasy]

Mm, that's infatuation.

[pruriency]

But some use it that way.
