( 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!

[.....okay....he guesses....there she goes......]

Ask me anything you want, miss.

[bemist]

... [ She just takes a card. ]

What would people be surprised to learn about you?

[lovebombing]

HmmmmmmmMM.

[HMMMMMMM.]

I can hold my own in a fight! I just don't like fighting that much.

[bemist]

Yeah? What's your weapon of choice?

[lovebombing]

Double daggers. Here. Take a look.

[He'll just pull one of them out from where it's holstered behind his back. It's a pretty big one, almost the length of a forearm, curved with a purple blade.]

[bemist]

[ Huh. That's a hefty blade and Gebura examines it with the eye of someone who knows weaponry. It's not something someone should swing around if they don't know what they're doing. ]

Not bad.

[lovebombing]

Hehe.

[He's absolutely doing the ^_^ face as he takes it back.]

What weapon do you wield?

[bemist]

[ In response, she reaches down and lifts a massive great sword by the hilt. It's red and fleshy, it's sporting several eyes that do look like actual eyes, and it's got very sharp... teeth? ]

I can make use of whatever is available, but this is the one I've used the longest.

[lovebombing]

[THIS LOOKS....LIKE A REALLY FRIGHTENING THING HOLY SHIT]

Um.




Miss your sword is. Looking at me.

[bemist]

Just call me Gebura.

[ It's fine, the cameras aren't specifically on them right now. ]

And it does that. It won't hurt you on its own.

[ Just might try to fuck with your head. ]

[lovebombing]

Gebura...I'll commit that to memory!

[Hehe....heh..]

Where did you get such a thing?

[bemist]

An Abnormality. I guess what most people would call a monster.

[ It's fine. ]

[lovebombing]

Yeesh. I guess you like...

[makes a punching gesture]

To get it?

[bemist]

Something like that.

[ Let's not get into Abnormality E.G.O. weapons. ]

Your turn to ask a question.

[lovebombing]

Hm.

[Actually, he's got one.]

What's something someone could do for you that would make you happy?

[bemist]

... My happiness isn't reliant on anyone else.

[ That's not what he-- ]

[lovebombing]

That isn't what I asked, Miss Gebura.

[bemist]

[ Uuuuugh. ]

If they gave me a decent challenge, maybe.

[lovebombing]

Physically? Mentally? Emotionally?

[bemist]

[ All. ]

Physically.

[lovebombing]

Has anyone succeeded?

[bemist]

No.

[ Who is surprised-- ]

[lovebombing]

Ah. What a challenge! The lady deserves an equal.

[A little tilt of the head.]

What if no one bests you? Will you be alone forever?

[bemist]

Maybe I will. I'm not exactly looking for a relationship.

[ And the tone in her voice is very "fight me if you don't agree." ]

[lovebombing]

Why not?

[A simple question.]
