( 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

[fursuit]

[ The glasses are firmly settled back into place, because Tezcatlipoca is firmly dedicated to style, clearly. ]

Ha, y'know, that's fair. Timid is probably a better word for it than shy. Already ran into someone actually shy, so, yeah.

[ sorry siffrin... But he rubs at his chin thoughtfully as he hums and considers it. ]

Hm. Well, now I got mice on the mind, so tryin' not to think of that is hard... A coati? Or a tlahcomiztli? Similar idea, but if I put a personality to either of 'em, they'd sign up for speed dating, yeah?

[lovebombing]

...





Iiiii don't know what those are. Are they cute? Tell me they're cute.

[fursuit]

Oh, yeah, I think so. They're pretty similar looking, which is why I went with both. They're about the size of a cat, but they got an extra long tail with rings on it. Usually sand colored or brown fur. If you had to pick, go with the tlahcomiztli, since their fur is softer.

[ He thinks if there's anything less obscure he can compare them to, then nods. ]

They're related to raccoons, if that rings a bell. Not so chunky and different color palette, though.

[lovebombing]

Raccoons...oh! Oh, I could see that. Sometimes I do hide in trash cans, heh.






[just drops that like nothing]

[fursuit]

[ sampo........ ]

[ Tezcatlipoca pauses, as if he's not sure if he heard that correctly. Or, more accurately, he's considering whether he wants to know.

...He does, unfortunately. ]

Uh. Any reason?

[lovebombing]

Oh! Oh. Don't look at me that way. Just because...well, let's just say sometimes I get the wrong kind of attention in my line of work, and its a quick and easy place to hide. I mean, who is really going to look in the trash for a guy, right?

[#raccoon things to say]

[fursuit]

[ ...yeah, inwardly, sampo is getting kin-assigned raccoon for sure over the other options ]

I mean, objectively, I guess that makes sense, yeah. Wouldn't hide personally, but to each their own. [ This is not the point, though, since Tezcatlipoca is just murder happy,,, ] But still. A trash can fuckin' stinks. Like ain't your pride worth more than that?

[lovebombing]

[Same as the protag of HSR....truly kindred spirits....]

Haha, I wouldn't say I'm the best at fighting. Sometimes its best to get out of a tough situation when the going gets tough.

[A shrug.]

I mean...it's that or prison. And Sampo Koski does not want to be caught.

[fursuit]

Well, sure, jail sucks and obviously avoid that.

[ Isn't he the god of law and order too? Don't worry about that. ]

But not fightin', I dunno... It's way cooler to fight. At least go out with a bang instead of gettin' accidentally tossed into the nearest dumpster.

[lovebombing]

I do go out with a bang, though! I throw some bombs when I have them. Really provides some good cover when you want to get the heck out of dodge, ehe.

[#noted coward (unless....?)]

I mean, I'll fight if I have to, though!

[fursuit]

Woah, bombs? That's pretty hardcore.

[ Does he disapprove? No, of course not. ]

I mean, shit, I feel like I have to give ya a pass if that's what you resort to. They a big explosion, or we talkin' more a smokebomb kinda deal?

[lovebombing]

Smokebombs, mostly! But I do know how to make big ones...and once I played a bomb prank.

[Don't look so smug. Please.]

What's your choice of weapon, mister?

[fursuit]

[ This guy… The more he talks, the more Tezcatlipoca is interested, but it’s at because of some combination of bafflement and amusement. He’s definitely not normal, that’s for sure. ]

That must have been one hell of a prank. Can’t imagine other people would have been thrilled about that one.

[ Clearly not him, though. His smile is vaguely approving. A bomb prank is definitely a conflict starter, that’s for sure. ]

As for me? Guns. Plain and simple. [ you asked for his choice, not his talent… ] Like all kinds of ‘em.

[lovebombing]

Oh, I did it to say hi to an old friend. I wasn't there, but I'm sure they had a great time with it!

[meanwhile: the Trailblazer having a whole heart attack and a half and having to carry a supposed nuclear bomb around. thanks, sampo]

Guns, huh. Don't have a particular favorite?

[fursuit]

[ Tezcatlipoca barks out a note of a laugh, since, wow, Sampo… ]

That’s one hell of a way to say hi. But, hey, I approve. Sounds like a fun way to keep people on their toes, which I appreciate.

[ sampo apparently brings all the gods to the yard, good for him (?) ]

…But, yeah, I like my P38. Custom. [ stupid ] But I also wouldn’t turn down any gun. They’re all fun in their own ways.

[lovebombing]

[hahaha sometimes this is how you show how much you care <3]

Aw, thanks! I'm glad to be appreciated.

[Sometimes you're just a Funny Guy and gods appreciate that.]

How interesting...never heard of that one! Can I see it?
