[r8] talking head: du ruo

[loveauthority]

[ Du Ruo is led to a quiet room within the resort with a pair of hammocks to suit the scene, and upon one of them is where the overseer sits. She beams, shuffling her cards in hand (she will not use these), and motions for Du Ruo to take a seat already!!!

This is the Talking Heads room, and there are cameras. Prepare to loosen those lips! ]

[Yeah, she doubts that Anna would have a single malicious intent when it comes to this group...but Du Ruo still has her suspicions about showrunners who wouldn't have any issues with exploiting a young woman.]

I believe you. So I'll ask you this: Do you really think none of those pairs stood a fighting chance?

[makeine]

[ correct! it's me, i'm the one exploiting a young woman. ]

Every pair has a fighting chance! [ which might sound like a cop-out, but she means it. ] But to be honest, it's kinda hard to tell in the first week when people are sort of just feeling each other out -- we only got one other light ourselves in my round then, and we didn't know who'd tripped it until way later.

[ hmmmm. ]

Both lights were because they "clicked", but so were all the dark ones. It's not like everyone got to say who they were planning on picking either, so... Maybe one of them could've been right. Date-san's or Katy-san's.

Hm, now there's an idea. Maybe this coming week, we can ask both of them.

[She thinks she knows who at least one of them would have chosen, but it'll be nice to hear them confirm it out loud.]

Send them along to the booth, too, so they can experience the disappointment.

[She sounds sarcastic, but isn't she the person here with the most faith in them altogether...?]

[makeine]

[ isn't she though.....? ]

You're so dishonest, Du Ruo-san. [ but it's just a tease. ] I'll bring you guys extra ice cream to celebrate your success!

[mythologizer]

Am I? What have I said that struck you as particularly dishonest?

[That's just a tease, too. She's been supporting them the entire time, even if she doesn't think the designation of a perfect match holds any merit.]

If ice cream's on the line, watch out. We might just solve this puzzle before the time limit's up.
