( open; ) summer episode part 2?

[uncourteous]

WHO: Any Outsider is more than welcome!
WHAT: Dating shows... I was bullied.
WHERE: Between Okinawa & Neo Tokyo.
WHEN: Throughout the remainder of July (listen, it's a production)!
WARNINGS: Partial nudity, alcohol, potential suggestive topics, and will update 'em as I see 'em!

Throughout the city of Neo Tokyo and even Okinawa, there will be advertisements posted by the hundreds (and spam mail to your oculars by an equal number), desiring candidates for a show. While the aftermath of vegas and other bleak instances might have led way for people practicing some semblance of moderation— opposite to that, the people also need their entertainment, don't they?

Fortunately, there will be an influx of dating shows looking for people to appear. They are offering a fairly decent amount of money and are even offering luxury experiences for free for participants. In this economy and food shortage??? Okay, the food may be lacking, but they do make up for it in various activities they have planned, where people can kick back, relax, and romance?

While there will be any number of shows looking for interested parties, these are the main shows/premises:

  SPEED DATING  

As the label suggests. People will be expected to sit down and switch through several partners. In their hands will be a card labeling who they encounter and a place to leave a check mark. They will also be given a list of questions that can be answered.

  PARTNER SWAP  

People can be on a show and swap partners. This doesn't necessarily need to be romantic, either. Have a friend you want to show up with, cool. The only rules are that the pairs who enter together cannot stay together during the duration of the show.

  SINGLES INFERNO  

Have you ever wondered what it would be like to be trapped on a deserted island with other hot singles? Well, now you no longer have to wonder. They will need to cook and fend for themselves here with minimal activities or distraction— but, isn't that the point? All you need to focus on is each other! (* They will be ferried to an outer island by Okinawa). While on the island, which they label as inferno, it's also a rule that one cannot speak about their age, occupation, or any such personal details. All of this will be reserved for "paradise." To go to paradise, two individuals will need to pick one another, and if they do — they are able to go on to completed various luxury experiences together.

For those who would rather find paradise in inferno together, you can presume there are tents that act as shared dormitory quarters where contestants will stay together.

  DATE ME  

People are free to use this for just general dates. Maybe, you just want to finesse the system and enjoy a fun all-expense-paid for date in which you get to eat like relative kings and enjoy various experiences. Feel free to use anything in the setting to your desire.

  SKINSHIP STARTER  

... a show where you get paid the more skinship you do. Don't do anything you wouldn't do in a Wendy's though. (That's not how the saying actually goes).

  COMMENTARY PANEL  

Every good dating show needs those who simply sit and commentate, right?

* It can be assumed any of this is just open to general CR you want to spend time with, too. This is just supposed to be a silly log for chances for characters to get to know one another! Characters are more than welcome to assume they stumble upon this by accident, think it's just a basic job and can't leave, film or unfilmed (minus the commentary prompt), and whatever else! Feel free to tag freely, threadjack, etc!

Comments

[ We love a nice glassy ground, surely. Gebura barely glances down at it, just briefly, long enough to notice What The Ground Do (or What The Feet Do, perhaps), and then the two-hued gaze of grey and gold snap back up to his face and the coconut.

She does not look very peaceful, but at least some of the homicidal intent (that was definitely not there surely you are imagining it she would never dream of killing anyone of course not) draws back in her gaze. So it's something. ]

I'm good.

[ Said flatly. ]

But I wouldn't recommend sneaking up on me next time.

[ HE VERY LIKELY WASN'T. ]

[emancipating]

[ the homicidal intent was noted, but to be fair, zagreus is fortunately (or unfortunately) used to it by now. it comes with the territory when his father would rather send his infernal forces after him to get him to come home rather than, say, having a nice heart to heart. anyway.

mismatched eyes of green and red watch as her own snap back to his face, taking a sip of the coconut juice. sweet and refreshing. ]

I wasn't, but I'll keep that in mind. [ since they're both here, though— ] Were you thinking about going to paradise?

[bemist]

[ What does that--oh. Right. Premise of the show. The show she doesn't want to be on. ]

I don't really think I'm going to be high on the list of considerations for that sort of thing anytime soon. [ Case in point, though she does lower her hand and step back slightly so he can enjoy his coconut juice without getting pressed against a rock. ]

[emancipating]

I mean, the contestants simply need to pick one another and they can leave, right? So, I pick you and you pick me, and that's all they need.

[ listen... neither of them want to be here, so why not make it easier for them both. ]

[bemist]

[ Now she's just slowly raising an eyebrow. ]

Did you get roped into this or something? Blackmail? Bribery?

[ Just how many people are here because they want hot dates, she's beginning to wonder. Maybe Malkuth is the outlier here. ]

[emancipating]

[ his smile turns sheepish as he shrugs, ]

Sort of. The pay seemed nice enough for what they're making us do, so I thought I'd give it a shot.

[ listen... he can't pass up the chance to earn money. ]

[bemist]

Regretting it a little now?

[ He's at least getting a nice coconut drink out of it? Maybe that counts for something. ]

[emancipating]

Not really. I mean, it could be worse. They could've had us find a way off this island ourselves.

[ is he being a little too blasé about it... probably. but again, it's not as if he's picky, nor is he dead set on scoring a hot date. ]

[bemist]

You mean besides swimming? Maybe your feet could evaporate the water.

[ She's not serious. ]
