date 1 - beach group b

[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.

Swing a sword around at things. That's all I really do.

[blueeyeswaifudragon]

Sounds impressive.

Couldn't you just swing any other long thing around? Grab a pool noodle or a marshmallow skewer?

[you_like_ike]

If I can find something long and heavy enough, that's what I'll have to do.

[But if you want a pool noodle fight he'll do that.]

[blueeyeswaifudragon]

You could add a weight to the end of it?

[no, that's not how it works at all]

[you_like_ike]

Maybe. I also think I should find something to swing around just as means of attack if things go as bad as they're threatened to be...

[blueeyeswaifudragon]

You think some melee is in the cards?

[you_like_ike]

The threat of being killed. If people are going to die, I don't want to stand idly by. If I can defend myself and others...

[blueeyeswaifudragon]

That's assuming the threat is a physical one, which is very doubtful. I mean, you don't really think two snack food mascots--one of whom is a puppet--physically brought us here, do you?

[you_like_ike]

You're likely right... but it would make me feel better to have something in my hands.

[blueeyeswaifudragon]

Manual fixation?

[you_like_ike]

Um. Maybe.

[blueeyeswaifudragon]

[snorts]

You don't have to just sit back and let me give you a hard time. There's nothing wrong with wanting to be an active participant in your life.

[you_like_ike]

Don't worry about that. Like I said, hearing harsh things can be useful.

If you made me mad, I wouldn't put up with you.

So far, I like your company.

[blueeyeswaifudragon]

[well, that nips his (probably low-key dickish, since kaiba) comment in the bud. he crosses his arms, a strange expression on his face before shifting back to a smirk]

...That's a new one. No need for the hard sell, though; I'll vote with the plan.

[you_like_ike]

...I didn't think you wouldn't go along with it.

And I'm still going to vote to marry you.

[Just. Going to take another bite of shark.]

[blueeyeswaifudragon]

That's. Appreciated.

[picks at his food as well]

What's it like being so...hm. I'm trying to find a word that doesn't sound overly negative, and it is more difficult than I expected.

[you_like_ike]

...If you mean straightforward, I get that a lot.

Or if you think I'm too trusting, Soren gives me reality checks for that.

I still trust you, though.

[blueeyeswaifudragon]

.........Good.

[re-crosses his arms, staring intensely at the fire]

--And "straightforward" isn't necessarily a bad thing.

[you_like_ike]

[Did you finish your shark steak? Ike is passing you another while he gets more for himself.]

It might be bad here. I'm no good at convincing people without using my real feelings like you had suggested.

[blueeyeswaifudragon]

[takes it, but only prods at it for now]

...Genuine emotions can be very convincing in and of themselves. If you're a bad liar--and unless you're a simply amazing con man it is obvious within perhaps a minute's talking with you that you're a bad liar--then don't do it. It'll be better for you to just keep your mouth shut than to bluff poorly.

[you_like_ike]

Well. I'm also bad at keeping my mouth shut.

[Chomps on shark meat.]

[blueeyeswaifudragon]

...Honest to a fault, ah? I'm sure your strategist friend has plenty of fun with you.
