date 1 - beach group a

[snackcakeordeath]

🍰 You're here at the beach🏖️ with some of the people YOU rated the 🔥hottest🔥 in town, so get ready for your chance to make a summer memory that'll last forever☀️!

🍰 It's up to you to create the 💖best date ever💖. Pick your special someone or someones and find an activity to really wow 'em!

🍰 If sun and surf🏄 doesn't float their boat, then make your move during that gorgeous sunset, or around a bonfire in the evening--timing and activities🦈 are up to you.

🍰 You'll need a public thread with all of your teammates where at least 1 thing is done as a group👫👬. Feel free to have any number of additional threads, public or private, with individual or groups of teammates; the extra effort should pay off with both your datemates and your hosts. Assume that everyone has opportunities to be 💑alone👩‍❤️‍👩🏽 with each other person.

🍰 At the end of the dates💕, you'll play Marry💍/Kiss💋/Kill☠️ on your datemates. Rate your dates✌️🖕 and you're free to go--but remember, they'll be rating you, too😨🤞. Hopefully you pulled out all the stops for all your dates!😎⚰️

🍰 Need some activity suggestions?
+ Swimming, snorkeling, or surfing🏄
+ Kite flying, beach volleyball, or burying someone into a sand castle🐚
+ Scary stories, sparklers, or s'mores over the bonfire🎆
+ Don't forget suntan lotion, you wouldn't want your poor datemates to burn!👒

🍰 At the end of the day, vote here.

"Want" is perhaps too strong a word. But it's also too strong a word for how I feel about my life. I'm probably going to die anyway in a game like this, so it might as well be worth something.

[clocked_out]

What do you want?

[afailedmurder]

Ah, yes. I imagine it would be less of a problem if I were capable of answering that question.

Perhaps I simply want someone else to tell me what to do.

[clocked_out]

[Dave glances over at him, thoughtfully quiet. He's still wearing his shades, masking most of his expression.]

I thought you said you were a Type-A.

[afailedmurder]

Oh, I am. But I'm also a miserable trainwreck of a human being, so there you have it.

[clocked_out]

[Snorts.]

Ok, fair.

What if I told you to come up with a plan that doesn't suck.

[afailedmurder]

I don't feel like it.

[clocked_out]

Ok.

Definitely don't get murdered but other than that I guess shelve planning for now. Honestly, there's no fuckin' way we are gonna manage any kind of coordination right out of the gate so someone will absolutely get murderer round one without some useless premature martyrdom.

[afailedmurder]

...Well, I can't really argue with that.

[clocked_out]

Nope. Can't dispute these 'stics for nothing.

[afailedmurder]

Indeed I cannot.

Honestly, though, I should apologize. I put you in an extremely awkward position. It's... been a rough few days, but that's no excuse. We can talk about something else. Anything, really.

[clocked_out]

It's not awkward if you're just saying true-ass things about how you are. Well, ok, it is, but I'm usually the one doing that so the change is kind of refreshing.

[afailedmurder]

You say it like it's simple, but it's actually very hard to tell the truth. Don't you worry about what people will think of you?

[clocked_out]

Not really. I can't really control the things that come out of my shouthole so I mostly just make sure I'm not being an asshole. I've accidentally or subconscious pseudo-purposefully vomited out so much embarrassing shit about myself that it really doesn't register with me anymore.

[afailedmurder]

...I can't even imagine that. I almost never say what I'm really thinking. Actually, before now, there was only one person I ever confided in.

[clocked_out]

Who was that?

[afailedmurder]

A boy who had been granted the same power as me. Even though I was planning on killing him... or perhaps I should say because I was planning on killing him, he was easy to talk to.

I'm glad I didn't manage it. He's a good listener.

[clocked_out]

[Seems unbothered by this mention of murder]

Yeah, sometimes murder is just not the best call. What's your 'power'?

[afailedmurder]

It's somewhat difficult to explain. Are you aware of Jungian psychology at all? Specifically, the concepts of of the collective subconscious and of personas? For me, those things manifest physically.

[clocked_out]

[lolololol]

Yeah, I know some stuff about psychology. Jegus, my sister would get a kick out of that.

[afailedmurder]

Once you're in there, you can do all sorts of things, some of them truly horrifying. But for whatever reason, I don't seem to have access here.

It's a pity. I might have even been able to save everyone.
