Day 9 - The Dating Game

[kentucky_mcgiygas]

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

No kidding.

How charming are you? If we were on a date, what would you do or say to make me feel comfortable?

[(Anonymous)]

I'm pretty charming, it's one of my best features. If we were on our first date, I'd definitely let you pick a place you liked, to start with. Ask you about yourself, find stuff we had in common to talk about. Definitely put myself out there a little, take some risks that might make me look awkward. The feelings will be communicated even if it's not totally smooth.

Junpei, this better not be you.

[(Anonymous)]

It is definitely not. I've got a lot more going for me than that kid.

[golden_dream]

Just checking.

[she laughs]

Speaking of kids, what do you think about them?

[(Anonymous)]

My own, or in general? I wouldn't say I'm particularly interested in them, but I can handle them okay. Some kids can be cute.

[golden_dream]

'Some' kids...

All right, last question. How far would you go to win over your date?

[(Anonymous)]

I'm not the sort of guy who lies and cheats to get into a woman's pants, if that's what you're going for. I'd want to be with someone where we actually like each other.

[golden_dream]

...Not quite what I had in mind. I meant "what sort of special thing would you do for her?"

[(Anonymous)]

Sorry. "Win over" just sounds pretty negative. I mean, I am good at that, but I like to save the persuasive techniques for business. If I was dating someone I'd want it to be more natural. Walks through a beautiful forest, impulsively putting a flower in her hair, that kind of thing.

Now, I can do some pretty special things. High-class restaurants, travel to new locations, unique gifts. But I'd want that to be, like... celebratory, fun stuff to do together, not trying to win them over.

[golden_dream]

Don't you judge me. If you're not trying to win over the other person in the relationship, there is no relationship!

Anyway, that sounds too lackluster. You'd just let what happens naturally happen? Then 99% of your dates will end up going home disappointed.

Sorry, but the least I can do for you is not let you sit around with false hopes. I can say right now I'm not picking you. --Good luck with the other people here.
