Post by The Producers on Apr 20, 2020 14:32:00 GMT
First dates have been completed and they went well for some people and not so well for others. You submitted your list to The Producers of the top 4-5 people that you wanted to see again and The Producers organized dates as accordingly as they could. If there was someone you missed out on, there will be chances in the future.
The second round of dates will be twice as long as the first. You will have 4-5 dates total this round. For the second dates you are given full freedom to use your creative/romantic juices! If you want to provide food for your date, or a game, or basically anything you can think of then please free to do so, The Producers will provide what you need! The only rules are that you have to stay in your own pods. No seeing each other, no touching. So have at it and have fun!
RULES
- Remember to keep physical descriptions out of your conversations.
- Each person gets only 20 posts in this thread!
- Posts are limited to 300 words!
Will your connections grow stronger today or will you cross another name off your list of possibilities? !
This date is for Hugh Pennington & Gemini Matteson!
What did you do to make this date special? Anything?

What Hugh would find when he stepped into his pod was a box. If he chose to open it, inside he would find a pair of cozy black sweatpants, a large, matching hoodie, and a pair of silly fuzzy socks.

Penn had filled Gemini Matteson's pod with twinkle lights and the walls were covered in paper stars in a variety of sizes. There was a 'tea bar', a variety of teas and condiments like honey, sugar cubes, and lemon slices for her to choose from along with a full kettle of hot water. Penn entered his pod and moved to the box, opening it. He laughed at the silly socks. "Wow, Gem, this is seriously awesome! Oh man, this looks so comfy. I'm putting these on right now!" There was the sound of clothing being shifted as he put on the socks and hoodie. "Maybe not the pants, given all the cameras in here, but I'm wearing these later tonight for sure." He said with a smile in his voice. "What a great idea!"There was the sound of him sitting down on the couch and a sigh of comfort. "How are you feeling today, Gem?" He asked once he was settled. |

The sound of Gem entering her pod was audible because of the door closing, but a silence would follow. Through the thick glass that kept their figured shadows, Hugh might notice the light in Gem's pod go out. The lights he had planted would be what illuminated the space.
"Penn..." clearly she was breathless. After a long pause the said, "Thank you. Thank you for thinking of me. I'm making myself a cup of tea right now. I wasn't sure how I was feeling when approaching the pod, but now I feel...light. And warm. And excited." The smile was in her voice, too. "How about yourself?" Her spoon clicked as it tapped the side of the mug.

"I'm so glad you like it, Gem." Penn replied with a soft voice. "I wanted you to feel special." he told her.
"I'm feeling really good, I'm looking forward to spending more time with you today. I had a really nice time with you yesterday." He said. "What should we talk about today? I feel like we still have so many things we could cover today." He said with a lighthearted tone. "How about some of your favorites? Color, food, music, tv show, movie, et cetera. All that fun stuff?"

“I think favorites are a good place to start! Color, green. Food, Chinese. TV show, Criminal Minds. Movie...that’s hard. There are some I especially like right now, and some that are just classics. As for music...don’t judge me, but I’m a lover of the 90’s. Whitney Houston, Backstreet Boys, Celine Dione, Michael Jackson, MC Hammer...” the smile in her voice got bigger as she listed names. “What about you, Penn?”

"I love the 90s!" Penn said with a laugh. "It's definitely my guilty pleasure music, I usually listen when I'm alone at home or in my car, not something I usually advertise to my friends. Not that they don't already think I'm a nerd though." He said with another laugh. "Michael Jackson is classically awesome! I'm happy to listen to today's hits on the radio too. I like Zedd and Avicci a lot. And perhaps strangely...I really like Selena Gomez." He told her with a laugh.
"My favorite color is red. Movie...probably the star wars franchise. TV show would be The Mandalorian, Game of Thrones, Westworld. Those big epic kind of shows. And food would definitely have to be pizza, simple pepperoni is just fine with me." He chuckled a bit.
"Alright, so what about your future? Where do you see yourself in...5 years? Any plans to move? Change in career or promotions? Do you want kids?" He asked.

"Hmm, five years. I...I'm not sure. Kids, I guess. Maybe just one. Or Two. No plans to move...unless I marry a guy who wants to. No plans to change my job, either. I'm pretty flexible. I think I'm more focused on being happy and having people I love in my life than the specifics. Like...Selena Gomez." She laughed quietly.
"What's your five year plan?"

"Flexible is really nice, it makes things simple at the very least." He said and then laughed when she referenced Selena Gomez.
"As for my own plan..." He paused for a moment to think. "I really like the company I'm at. My team is awesome and I'm in a good spot. I would love to continue to move up the ranks there and think I have a pretty good chance at doing that. So I'd prefer to stay here. I'm pretty flexible when it comes to kids. I always figured that would be a discussion I would have with my wife when the time came. I'd be just as fine with none as with several...though probably no more than four..." He trailed off with a little laugh.
"My nieces can be quite the handful sometimes and there is only two of them."

“Four!” She whistled low. “And I thought seven cats was bad...” she said it very quietly.
“I think it’s great that you’re with a company you love. Few can claim to enjoy their work. I’m part of the few. I appreciate it for what it affords me, but it’s not my dream job. I don’t know if I have a dream job. I hardly dream. I promise that’s not as sad as it sounds...”

Penn laughed. "I didn't say I wanted four for sure!" He said with playful defensiveness. "Just no more than four if that's what my wife wanted. I'm way more comfortable with one or two like you said." he chuckled again.
"It really does make a difference doesn't it? I've certainly had jobs in the past that I didn't enjoy, it's worlds better when you do. So how did you get into accounting?" He asked.
