February GM Event!

[Marleigh (DELETED 10186)]

CHARACTER NAME : Marleigh
GENDER IDENTITY : Cis Female || No gender preference
ROMANTIC INTEREST : Good sense of humor, and thick-skinned. She's feisty and sarcastic, but intelligent. A sense of adventure is a must, because she rarely stays idle for long. Just friends, short-term, or long-term...really, any connections she can rely on will do. If it's looking for a good time and no promises the next day, it had better be worth it.
ADDITIONAL NOTES : Marleigh is new to the area and has no connections to anyone in the city, to date. She's not an attention-seeker, but thrives when it happens to come her way and has no problem with standing out in a crowd. She would be willing to talk and get to know just about anyone, but she'd be hesitant to reveal too much of herself at an event like this. A "go-getter," she doesn't just sit at the curb and wait for the world to pass her by, she'd rather do what needs to be done to ensure that it's hers. Needless to say, she's up for a chase, so long as she has reason to think she'll get what she wants at the end.

CHARACTER NAME : Grayson Wyatt
GENDER IDENTITY : D + D = <3 Cis male + Gay No preference
ROMANTIC INTEREST : "Okay so like. When the Queen Bee sang that song 'If I were a Boy', the visual image that creates. Only with more money (Think Oprah level coins). Not taller than me. Fit. With gorgeous ******* eyes. Also at least size ten shoes if you know what I mean. And a personality or something.

Okay. Okay.

Romance. Right. I don't ******* know, man. My ideal partner is someone who could be my best friend. Common but not identical interests. Someone I can ******** with. Who is easy to talk to and makes me laugh. Someone who is so comfortable in their own skin, they make me comfortable too. Who I can talk with both meaningless **** about, and yet who I know will have my back when I inevitably get into drama. Also that first paragraph is totally still relevant. Especially the shoe size thing."
ADDITIONAL NOTES : Okay so he's mainly just in this to make friends and connections. That being said, free money is on the table so he is legit going to find a way to kiss literally everyone he gets paired with. So like. Feel free to backhand him across the room? I dunno. People who write with me a lot know that I love to include comedy in my RP, so you can expect a lot of that from him. He's got one of those infectiously light-hearted personalities, and he is known to to quite literally run away if ever something gets to be too serious.

Just a day and some change left to sign up for this!

I N F O R M A T I O N

The Saint Valentine Roulette is, at its core, a speed dating event. You will find pre-made pairings below. People are encouraged to use the chat feature* or rapidfire roleplay with their partners, as every 2 days, new pairings will be announced! When new pairings are announced, people can start new chats or threads, though they are of course totally encouraged to wrap up ongoing RP with previous partners at their discretion. The idea behind this event is to really give people a chance to get out there and potentially form connections (romantic or otherwise).

Please mark threads with 'SVR' or 'Valentine's' or "Valentine Roulette' or something similar in the title for ease of tracking.

* You can post your chat roleplay directly from location to the forum using the Submit RP to Forum button. It will post to the Streets, but can be moved to the Official Event RP forum by a mod. You may also split a chat RP in half yourself and directly post it to the Official Event RP forum if you so desire.

The event takes place in Thornside Park. Set up under a series of large tents lit by the stars, moon, and string lights, there are a number of features including an entrance onto the river for those who want to ice skate. There is a paid band playing romantic hits and their music is softly diffused over the entire area with carefully planted surround sound speakers. There are better lit tents with benches and tables as well as food, drink (some of it alocholic if you have an ID), or blood - and these areas have been set aside so that people can eat, drink and be merry! There are numerous fair style games of chance as well as a few rides including hastily (but solidly) constructed ferris wheel and bumper cars.

Hot chocolate can be found every few feet, and people are encouraged to take advantage of the large tent which has been set aside for dancing! All in all, there is plenty for a couple to do in order to help with any burgeoning romance.

The area is warmed by out-of-doors stand heaters. Or body heat. Your pick.

P R I Z E S

Each thread related to this event which a character participates in (with someone they are paired with), will result in 1000 bonus RPP.

PerfectMatch.com (the ones who are hosting the event), have also agreed to pay $1000 to any new couples who agree to go on a first date! NOTE: The request for a date must be accepted and both the request and acceptance must be played out in RP (and posted to the forum either as a thread or posted chat transcript).

They are also paying $500 for those who end up on their kiss cam. NOTE: Characters can only earn $500 per thread via kissing, regardless of how much they kiss in said thread. Obviously the relevant actions must be roleplayed and posted.

Prizes may be claimed in this thread either as the event is ongoing, or after it is over.

Note: Due to the number of people who signed up, there will only be one pairing swap. The current round will run through February 15th, the next set of pairings will be posted on the 16th, and that round will run through the 24th. This gives people about a week to do their RP, and claim any prizes.

Please be sure to claim prizes here either whilst a thread is ongoing or after they are complete! <3

Quick nit-picky question -- always happy to reprise my role

How are the pairings announced in-character?
Name tags? An escort or host/ess to guide one to the other?

[Azraeth]

Probably just via the PerfectMatch.com app. Like a temporary 'Speed Date' feature.

[Valdimar (DELETED 10176)]

I think what she means is -- they're in the tent that's set up for the event and it's speed dating...

Are one half of the pairings sitting while the others rotate around the tables? Are they paired via numbers on the tables/numbers given?

Or are you saying they get notified on their phone and they've got to seek each other out...?

[Azraeth]

Or are you saying they get notified on their phone and they've got to seek each other out...?

Yep, though the app should tell them where their partner is in proximity to them. It's assumed everyone is at the event - and the only reason I didn't set it up as a 'one tent' kind of thing is so that people have a few things to do if they like.

[Charles Crafter]

Does this go in official event roleplay or streets of harper rock if we do a thread?
