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

What do you wanna do? I mean, are you trying to leave him? Are you guys in an open relationship? Are you just hoping he'll punch me into the pavement? All that's gonna make a difference.

I mean, in reality I'm very happy with him and I don't intend to cheat. For the sake of the hypothetical though, let's say this date wins me over and makes me want to choose you.

Huh... I guess I'd want to man up and talk it over with him. Still might end up with me eating a knuckle sandwich, but can't just sneak around forever. You deserve better than that.

[meatitfeedson]

That's very respectable - and flattering, at that.

Do you have some kind of motto, if so, what is it? If not, a piece of advice you would be quick to give someone.

[(Anonymous)]

A motto? Like the boy scouts? ...Maybe something like "puns are phonemenal"?

[meatitfeedson]

[She has to laugh at that.]

Good one! Assuming you live, what's the first thing you're going to do when you get out of here?

Eat something that isn't a hamburger. I can barely remember what vegetables taste like...

[meatitfeedson]

Aren't pickles and fries enough for you? Geez, so picky! It's like you need nutrition or something.

Is there anything you'd like people to know about you that they don't normally see or is often misconstrued?

[(Anonymous)]

It's tough, living as someone who likes to have if not all of the vitamins in a day, at least any of them.

And something that people don't normally see? I guess...that I can be deep or serious if I have to be? Though maybe it's better if people don't know all that after all.

[meatitfeedson]

Maybe the special meals for the dates will have some real food with nutrition...

That's the last question I'm actually allowed, but this is more rhetorical - would if really be so bad for people to know that? If you're the type to normally mess around, balance is good.

[(Anonymous)]

Is it though? I think, especially when stuff is crazy, you want to latch on to anything that seems "normal." You wanna be able to have a conversation about something that isn't so heavy, if you have to. So, for me... If that's all I'm good for, I should provide at least that much.

[meatitfeedson]

You're right about that part, but I'm sure you're not giving yourself enough credit, Anonymous.

[(Anonymous)]

Ha ha ha... Sorry to complain about it. There's more important things... You've got plenty of worries too, I bet. I'll do better from now on. This's supposed to be festive after all, right?

[meatitfeedson]

You don't have to apologise, I just think it would be a shame for you to sell yourself short. You're right that this game is probably meant to be fun, but that doesn't mean we can't talk about something a little more serious. It's a good format for being able to get things off your chest. But I'd like you to know that you're certainly able to talk with me in person about anything that might be bothering you. I'll gladly listen and keep it between us, and if you'd like help, I'll do my best.

...I appreciate that. Thanks.
