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.

I would say that they've done it intentionally as a display of their power. They want us to know that they are in complete control. If we play along with their game, they've won. If we take the bait they've laid out for us, try to escape, and fail — which seems highly likely considering we have no idea what security measures are in place, let alone where we are, where we would go, or how to return home from there — they've won.

The bastards-! [Right, deep breaths. He closes his eyes to think.]

…The best thing we can do is probably keep our heads low and play along till we find something we can use. There’s something up with that fence. I don’t know what, but it can’t be as easy as it looks.

[i_like_ike]

I can't say I'm pleased about it, but I agree. We should choose an activity to do as well...

[gee Soren, don't look so excited]

[streetwolf]

Wouldn't mind going for a swim now I can see what else is in the water. Who knows I might end up the best swimmer in city 23.

[Wayne's smirking, at least someone's 'happy'.]

[i_like_ike]

Pass. I'm not much of a swimmer.

[Or so he says, but his tune changes the second Ike invites him.]

...But then, it wouldn't do to refuse to cooperate. I'll go change into something more appropriate.

[streetwolf]

Eh, it's a good skill to have. Never know when you're going to have to dive in.

[i_like_ike]

Mm. Perhaps.

[Wanders off to get ready. It takes a long time. When he's back, he's all geared up with goggles and flippers and floaties. PREPAREDNESS!!]

...I'm ready.

[streetwolf]

[Then there's Wayne whose just changed and is already back, now willing to put his feet in the water.]

...You need help with some of that?

[i_like_ike]

I'm fine.

[does a little penguin shuffle on his way on over to the water]

[streetwolf]

Did you bash your leg in the changing room or something?

[i_like_ike]

[Lifts a foot to show him the flipper he's put on.]

I don't know how to do this. I"m not risking anything.

[streetwolf]

... Isn't the point of this to learn how to have fun at the beach?

[i_like_ike]

No. This is a display of power and psychological manipulation on the part of our captors.

[waddles into the water]

[streetwolf]

Well yeah, that's part of it and this weird game of theirs. But they did say to have fun. And if we’re keeping our heads down…
