ALL THANKSGIVING TRIPS ARE OFFICIALLY CANCELED! ALL CURRENT INTERACTIONS SHOULD STOP NOW!

This is an emergency alert! Cotton Plant, Arkansas is officially on lockdown. A massive storm has just swept through the town, and everyone must stay put, exactly where they are until further notice. Strong winds have knocked over a near by cell tower, so you’ll notice that your cell phone is not currently working, but don’t worry, no matter where you are, there is an emergency supply kit.

Supply kits include, sleeping bags, pillows, blankets, water bottles, first aid kits, flashlights, and enough food to last until the lockdown is over. When the storm hit, residence of the town ran to the closest building to take shelter, so if your character is in a place they would not normally go, that’s okay. There will be no leaving these locations until further stated. 

This post applies to all players. Everyone will be involved in this plot, other than those who are currently on full hiatus, and will remain on full hiatus for the entirety of the event. Please note, all acceptances have been paused until the event is over, this includes fc/family changes.

Below you will find groups, please look through the groups to find your character(s) this is where they are located for the start of the event. The people in the group with them are the ONLY people they can interact with during THE START of the event. Paras, FTFs and dash convos with the people in your group are the only form of communication allowed during the start of this event.

Please be aware that there are over 100 characters in this group, we attempted to match people up in order to create an opportunity for new connections. If your character was left off the list (unless they are on hiatus), or two of your characters are in a group together, please let us know, otherwise, these groups are final. Any trips that were planned for Thanksgiving or during this time will need to take place after the lockdown is lifted. Stay tuned throughout the week for updates.

Please find your group(s) below, and make sure that any posts you make throughout the event have the tag that is included next to the location. Each location has power, but no cell service, no wifi, no phones. All locations also have an ample amount of food and water to last until the lockdown is lifted.

Please note: We know that many characters have pets, but for the purpose of this event please disregard pets, we don’t want characters to worry about their pet. The only exception is service animals which should be with the character, assume they have food and water, and can go outside a few times a day to use the bathroom. 

WHEN YOU HAVE READ AND UNDERSTOOD THIS, PLEASE REPLY WITH YOUR CHARACTER’S GROUP NUMBER TO LET US KNOW!

DRESS CODE: Casual

Here’s how it’s going to work! Below you’ll find a list! This list will either contain your character’s name, or alias! The person you are matched up with is who your character is meeting on Saturday night.

This starter will be of them entering the event, and looking out for the person with the nametag that matches the alias of the dating profile they were given! Tag your FTF starters with OURTOWNEVENT: 001

If your alias is on the right, keep an eye out for the starter with your alias so you can reply! Once this is done, it is up to the players to decide if you want to continue the FTF or perhaps use other methods to play out the night. Para, Chatzy, Headcannon, or any other forms you see fit are absolutely fine!

kelsey → dragon

layla → ash

chloe → casablanca

kalika → snoopy

dakota → trix

hunter → bookie

silas → nightlight

jess → spice

So, to make things clear, and as an example, RECORD will at some point tomorrow, write a FTF starter of Kelsey entering the event, searching for someone with the nametag DRAGON. The player who submitted the dating profile with the alias Dragon, will then respond!

Rhett was really new to dating and didn’t know how this was going to work. Sure, he’d been on dates before... But a blind date seemed much more intimidating than he was used to. Signing up for this event had mostly been an impulse thing, and after a long week of work at the fire station, he was glad to have something to distract him. 

He’d been busier than normal, thanks to the brand new kitten that he’d decided to adopt, and after finally picking a name for her, he was glad to have found someone who could watch Lulu for the evening. All he knew was that he didn’t know what to expect, and he was horribly afraid of approaching the wrong person at this kind of thing.

“Oh, excuse me--” He stammered, as he accidentally bumped into someone while on his way to the table. “I’m so sorry, I really need to learn how to look where I’m going...” It didn’t help that the entire room was filled with champagne glasses. Rhett hadn’t taken a single one that he’d been offered all night, but he hoped to distract himself enough that it would be a non-issue. “There are a lot more people here than I thought there would be.”

event starter ➝ ash 🌳

“I’m looking for Ash!” Layla explained to the bartender, a glass of champagne in her hands. “As in like, Ketchum? Not gonna lie, I totally had the biggest crush on Ash Ketchum when I was eight years old. You could even say that he was my first love... No judgments here.” She quickly polished off the remaining bubbly in her glass before placing it back on the bar. “By the way, do you have anything stronger than this? Seriously, I could go for a Jack and Coke right now. Or straight up Jack, you know, I’m not picky...”

As she happily left the bar with a Jack and Coke in a significantly larger glass than what had been handed out to her previously, Layla decided to work the room. “Hey, Ash!” She called, immediately greeting her blind date for the night. “I’m not gonna lie, I was totally expecting Ash Ketchum but you’re actually hotter, so go me!”

Second Blind date | Kelsey  → DRAGON

Kelsey pulled down her little black dress that she had bought for this and glanced at herself in the mirror. She wasn’t for sure how this was going to go, since she was even more nervous than before and knew that things will be interesting to say the least.

Once she headed out there, drink in hand, she started to glanced around for the name tag Dragon. She kept glancing at the name tags, glancing up and gave people strangers when they caught her and moved somewhere else until she saw a Dr. She gotten excited to the point where she was walking behind someone and tapped them on the shoulder with a smile. “Hi, I was wondering if you’re Dragon? I just saw the Dr on your tag and I dont want to get it mixed up for doctor which would be kind of crazy..” She stopped after she realized that she was rambling. “I am so sorry for rambling.”

PROFILE: TRIX!

Someone who knows who she is and what she wants. I like it!

TRIX is 18 years old and identifies best with SHE/HER pronouns! She’s HOMOSEXUAL and interested in finding a FEMALE partner.

Trix is looking for CONNECTIONS & FRIENDS with someone of ANY age.

Her interests include THE GYM, SPORTS, PICASSO & PIZZA. However, Trix doesn’t like HORSES, SLEEPING IN & CHAOS.

Three ways to positively describe Trix would be HUMOROUS, SOCIABLE & CREATIVE.

Negative descriptors for her are MOODY, STUBBORN & NEGATIVE.

Five things that turn Trix on are RUNNERS, ART CRITICS, PASTA LOVERS, DAY DREAMERS & STAR GAZERS.

Five things that turn her off, however, are LACK OF MOTIVATION, HOMEBODIES, PARTY POOPERS, WHINERS & CRAZY EYES.

Does Trix have any deal breakers? Why no, no she doesn’t!

Let’s get a little more personal! Below is a short paragraph about Trix in her own words, as well as exactly the type of person she’s looking for.

ABOUT TRIX: I keeping being told I have a bad attitude or that I’m the favorite. Which basically means I have no idea what I am to others but that I know that I can be at least true to myself. I’m crazy and stubborn and a little bit silly when you get me going. I’m selfish and selfless. I’m just me.

WHAT THEY’RE LOOKING FOR: I want to be around someone I can be free with. I hate the feeling of being constricted and not being free and open. I want to have fun but also have serious moments. I want passion and compassion and everything in between.

[ourtownevents-blog]

PROFILE: KHALEESI!

Mother of dragons? We are not worthy!

KHALEESI is 25 years old and identifies best with SHE/HER pronouns! She’s BISEXUAL and interested in finding a MALE OR FEMALE partner.

Khaleesi is looking for HOOK UPS with someone aged between 25 & 30.

Her interests include SWIMMING, WORKING OUT, SPORTS & LISTENING TO MUSIC. However, Khaleesi doesn’t like KNOW IT ALL’S, HOMOPHOBES & PEOPLE WHO DON’T KNOW WHEN TO SHUT UP.

Three ways to positively describe Khaleesi would be FUNNY, AMBITIOUS & ASSERTIVE.

Negative descriptors for her are ARROGANT, VULGAR & CARELESS.

Five things that turn Khaleesi on are CONFIDENCE, GREAT SENSE OF HUMOR, HONESTY, GREAT SMILE & WHEN SOMEONE ISN’T AFRAID TO TAKE THE LEAD.

Five things that turn her off, however, are LIARS, PEOPLE WHO TAKE THINGS TOO SERIOUSLY, BAD BREATH, PUSHOVERS & WHEN PEOPLE GET CLINGY.

Does Khaleesi have any deal breakers? Why yes, yes she does! In her own words, one deal breaker for Khaleesi would be ARROGANT ASSHOLES.

Let’s get a little more personal! Below is a short paragraph about Khaleesi in her own words, as well as exactly the type of person she’s looking for.

ABOUT KHALEESI: What does someone even say about themselves to make them look interesting? I’m a small town girl, wishing I was anywhere else but the small town. I had a great opportunity in an amazing city and I blew it, so now I spend most of my time keeping myself busy to distract myself. Whether it’s working, working out, partying with friends, or even complete strangers sometimes. Don’t get me wrong, I totally love my lazy days, too. They just get boring after awhile.

WHAT THEY’RE LOOKING FOR: Someone I can hang out with, I guess? They would have to get used to the way I talk, which some people have described as “vulgar” or “low class,” so if you’re like them, you can get the fuck over it or leave me alone. I should probably make it clear that I’m not looking for anything serious at all. I’m mostly interested in seeing if meeting new people is even possible in this town.

[ourtownevents-blog]

PROFILE: HULK!

Hulk? Sounds big and strong! Hopefully he’s not green...

HULK is 27 years old and identifies best with HE/HIM pronouns! He’s BISEXUAL/BIROMANTIC and interested in finding a MALE OR FEMALE partner.

Three ways to positively describe Hulk would be OUTGOING, GENEROUS & HONEST.

Negative descriptors for him are BLUNT, IMMATURE & ARROGANT.

Five things that turn Hulk on are CONFIDENCE, AMBITION, INTELLIGENCE, ASSERTIVENESS & WIT.

Five things that turn him off, however, are NAIVETY, ACTING DUMB, LAZINESS, POOR HYGIENE & BEING OVERLY MEAN.

Does Hulk have any deal breakers? Why no, no he doesn’t!

Let’s get a little more personal! Below is a short paragraph about Hulk in his own words, as well as exactly the type of person he’s looking for.

ABOUT HULK: I guess I should put my best foot forward and say I’m a doctor, yes I am willing to play doctors and nurses. I’m also a highly sexual person if that last sentence didn’t already clue you in, I know that can be off putting to some people but I like to think I am respectful of a person’s boundaries and know when it is appropriate to be like that. I also like long walks on the beach, poetry and I have a pretty killer bod. I’d attach a nude to prove it if there was an option for that.

WHAT THEY’RE LOOKING FOR: Someone outgoing who can keep me on my toes and not bore me, someone not too sensitive with a good sense of humour. Someone adventurous.
