Post by The Producers on Apr 20, 2020 14:41:49 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 Trout Latimer & Gemini Matteson!
What did you do to make this date special? Anything?

When Trout entered his pod he would find a box. Inside, if he dared to look, would be a cape, a terribly hand-drawn map, and a cheap, gaudy necklace.
"Greetings, far traveler." Gem's voice would be heard from the other side, along with a very soft chuckle.

Trout couldn't help laughing at first when he opened the box, but he quickly cleared his throat and put on his best British accent. "Ah, hello...Mysterious voice. Have you come to give me a quest? I'll have you know I am Trout Von Ronsenberg of Dalmasca, famed adventurer. I will quail before no quest."

Gemini stifled laughter, though he'd surely be able to hear her attempt. She then cleared her voice, "Yes, Trout Von Ronsenberg. I know who you are. I know all things." She wasn't the best actress, but the effort to make her pronunciation formal and her tone a little eerie was evident. "I am the Seer, the gem of the sky. Your adventure awaits your first decision. You find that necklace along with a map. Will you keep the mysterious necklace and ignore the map, or use the map to try to find its owner?"

Trout "hmmmmmmmed" dramatically so she could tell he was considering his answer. "I will seek the owner of this necklace, in hopes that their gratitude will be a greater reward than the jewelry. Tell me, O' Seer, how do I follow this map to its true destination? I fear that leaving my pod might end my adventure too soon."
"Are there any hints you can give me, O' kind and merciful Gem of the Sky?"

Gem was laughing again. She recovered herself before speaking. "Look to the map. The red path will guide you. There are five steps along the way...take each with caution." She dropped the voice and said, "I actually have no idea how this works, but I thought maybe you could ask 5 different kinds of questions..."

Trout laughed with her.
"Ok, I can totally do five types of questions. Let's see, we'll start out simple. But like, explain your answer--this is gonna be like those extended response questions in school. Hmmm.... True or false: Gem enjoys parties with lots of people. I feel like I know the answer, but I think this is a good place to get started with getting to know you. I feel like you're still a mystery, Gem."

"True. While I'm a wall flower, I do enjoy being around people and getting to watch them."

"Huh!" Trout exclaimed, "Alright, you caught me off guard with that one, but I see where you're coming from. Type number two: multiple choice. If you had to choose a date night, would you rather:
a. go out to a club
b. go to an expensive restaurant
c. stay home and cook together
orrrrrr
d. go skydiving?"

“Definitely C! I’m not much of a cook, but there’s no place I’d rather be than home...most of the time. You’re really good at this, Trout.”

Trout laughed "I wouldn't say that, but I'm sure as heck going to do my best. Let's see. Uhhh a story problem next? I gotta think about this a minute." He was silent for a long moment before he started up again.
"Alright. If you're in a gathering with friends--maybe some cool people playing D&D, or maybe it's us and another couple watching a movie or something, and I say something totally stupid, as I've been known to do, when would you talk to me about it? And would you feel safe telling me that I was being a jerk so that I can do better the next time?"
