the_newlydead_game | Day 9 - The Dating Game

ICly, this game is played on your tablet, and can only be activated when you're alone in your dressing room. You can play vocally or text-based, but either way they come out on the other end as pure text and/or read by a computerized voice.

~~FIRST DAY (until 7:00PM PST tomorrow; an extra day since I got it up late):~~

ETA NAH LET'S EXTEND IT INTO THE NIGHT. Second half is just reveals anyway! I'll get it around noonish tomorrow.

🍔 Make a toplevel for your character, starting off with some kind of open-ended question. Your tablet provides some example questions, and you are free to steal one or invent your own.

🍔 Everyone else replies to the toplevel anonymously! Lying, kissing ass, or pretending to be someone else are allowed and frankly ENCOURAGED.

🍔 While there are no hard rules against any sort of questions, for the part of the questioner, trying to suss out identities goes against the principle of the thing and will be looked upon harshly by Ronald and the King. This is a dating game, so relax and try to find your perfect romantic match!

🍔 After someone replies, the questioner can ask up to three more questions to each anon. Anons, stay in your threads.

SECOND DAY (until 6:00PM PST Sunday)

🍔 I'll make a new thread, where everybody can announce which of their anons they would most want to date!

🍔 Winning anon, reveal yourself!

🍔 You don't actually have to go on a date (it will not count against you), but if you'd like to, a ~romantic, off-menu dinner~ will be provided

If you had one day to live, what'd you do?

Edited 2017-05-20 02:28 (UTC)

Drink.

Any special drink, or would any low-quality liquor be good enough for you?

If I'm really dying the next day, it doesn't really matter, does it? It's not like I'd be around to feel the hang-over.

Of course I'd prefer something light and smooth.

Do anything I can to stop it

Such as what, exactly? Let your imagination run wild.

That depends on the situation, but if I had a disease, I would throw all kinds of money at a cure, or if someone was threatening me I would kill them first. I would even make a deal with a devil if I could.

Speed it up through creativity.

Hm? Do you consider yourself a creative person?

Making sure that my death would be for you.

How flattering! And how exactly do you propose you'd ensure it?

As much as possible. You don't wanna go with regrets.

You don't have any specific plans? Life is more enjoyable when you have a goal or two in mind.

If it were here, I'd get dressed up... maybe watch my friends get dressed up, if they wanted to spend that time with me. And in the prop room we'd find something fun that wasn't too whimsical... a game or something. I'd get together the best last meal we could, there are some people who'd be kind enough to cook for me, I think (that's something appealing about you, Ronove, actually), and then say my goodbyes.

Though, realistically, I'd have one day to live because the votes that people could cast for me were finally running out and I would have spent the whole day running around trying to make sure it was necessary and seeing how I could make sure that my death would help preserve the life of someone else who I didn't want to die.

Even if I weren't dying here because of the vote, some other reason, I'd probably spend at least some time before the end writing out my voting plans to help everyone else make the best choices in the future.

If I were home - which is where I'd like to spend my last day alive, if I got to choose - I'd be with people important to me who aren't here, and we'd buy a really nice packed lunch, and we'd go up to one of those nice tourist places that you never get around to because it's crowded except if you go in the middle of the workweek, and we'd appreciate it together, take pictures. Then as the sun set I'd tell them everything, how I'll always love them, listen to them say it back, and then that would be that.

My, quite an extensive answer.

[And much more heartfelt than he expected any answer to be]

Let's suppose you're at home, for the sake of a more familiar atmosphere for you. Your time has come to say goodbye to the world, but before it can happen you're offered to delay your demise for a few years. However...it'll cost you your dearest memory.

Would you accept such deal? Or try to bargain to give something you think is less valuable? Or reject the deal altogether?

Gosh, I dunno. Set some people on fire so I'd have the chance to see a few more days?

Hmmmm...you don't consider yourself a people person?

I'd want to be with my family.

You consider yourself very attached to your family?

I would ensure my affairs were in order, so that those I care about would be provided for.

Nice. You're dead. However, before your soul can continue to your afterlife, you're offered to live for a few years longer -- with the condition you offer something in exchange. What'd you offer?

I think...I'd wanna go to a big beach with all my friends, and we'd eat lots of food and play lots of games and have lots of fun all day!

Why the beach, if I may ask?

I'd spend it with my loved ones.

Any particular activities in mind? As people sometimes say: the sky is the limit.
