EVENT: SWIPER, NO SWIPING!

EVENT: SWIPER, NO SWIPING!


As the blustery winds and steady snows of January give way to the cool breezes of February, the city begins to notice strange trends amongst its volunteer citizenry: an uptick of online searches for things like flower shops and cheap romantic meals, a surprising increase in chocolate purchases (though, perhaps more surprising, no increases in consumption), and a report from the local pharmacies regarding a sudden shortage in contraceptives, of all things! Consider the administration officially flummoxed — that is, until the city's favorite and only volunteer coordinators begin to investigate further.

You see, Valentine's Day isn't quite the thing in Cadelle. Here, St Valentine never led couples in matrimony under Roman rule, and so, no time-honored capitalist dream could be established. However, the date of February the 14th is still a special one in the city — it's the day that many honor as St Trifon's Day, or "Winemaker's Day". It's a day of celebrating the first pour of the prior year's winemaking, with the first bottle of each vintage reserved for drinking with one's special someone... preferably privately, where post-drink merriment may commence uninterrupted. (Scandalous.)

Not wanting to leave out any of their volunteers from the city's special day, the volunteer coordinators have arranged a collection of meeting locations, each perfect for getting to know a potential special somebody in advance of the big day. To help people get acquainted, they've partnered with that reclusive (and anonymous) mogul behind okCuddle to add a limited time special feature for the season — that's right, a matchmaker!

Simply press the bright red button on your app's home screen to be enrolled in a Match Meeting. There are five unique locations, each offering a different experience to appeal to those who might find true love or common ground in its midst, and each location will host a different couple each day to ensure everyone has an opportunity to meet their one-and-only... or maybe just their one-night-only. (We won't judge.)

▸ Any opportunity to incite a little romantic feeling would be remiss if it didn't include the time-honored date experience: a candlelit steakhouse dinner at the city's best dining experience, DeWolfe's. Whether you're hungering for a porterhouse medium rare or a more demure airline chicken breast, the wait staff here will be more than happy to attend to any needs you may have, and delighted to disappear shortly after, providing plenty of privacy for quiet conversation and those ever-important lingering glances. Feel free to extend your night with a walk through DeWolfe's famed gardens out back, or perhaps a nightcap... the only question left, then, is their place or yours?

Let The Good Times Roll offers those who enjoy athleticism and coordination an evening of nostalgic fun under twinkling lights — courtesy, of course, of the disco ball hung prominently in the center of the risk, a perfect match for the classic jams that are piped out from the speakers on each wall. Strap on a pair of rental skates, and when the lights get low, be sure to hold your honey's hand tight for that all-important couple's skate. When you're done zooming around the linoleum, be sure to try a bite of the rink's famous pizza and popsicles meal, the perfect treat for summer campers and kids at heart alike! Groovy!

The Vinery, while not necessarily a classic first-date location, offers a bit of non-traditional romance with its gorgeous hill country views and a seemingly endless assortment of local blends to sample. Visitors paired up for a Match Meeting here will have the opportunity to enjoy a rarely experienced grape-stomping session, during which they'll become bonafide vinters (winemakers, for the uninitiated) and the proud recipients of a complimentary bottle of the Vinery's own St Trifon's Day special blend — the perfect reason to ask for a second date, no? (And if you don't want to wait, there's always the cover of a gazebo or the fields nearby...)

▸ Animal aficionados, fear not: the expansive nature reserve at Nahtazu offers an opportunity to get up-close and personal with your favorite wild beasts — no, not the ones in your pants — and one of the reserve's most knowledgeable guides to show you the way. Of course, since it's an hour away aboard the local trains, the city has arranged a private compartment for two, where Match Meeting attendees will enjoy a catered lunch, the perfect way to fuel for a long day of hiking, climbing, and maybe even a few jungle swings. On the way back, feel free to enjoy the plush seats for a little post-adventure cuddling... or more, we won't tell!

▸ At The Worm Hole, nerds and geeks and casual gamers alike will find plenty to shoot and score on over pints of everything from sweet ciders to dark ales. There's no shortage of games here, so if your idea of a great night out involves beating your date at Super Smush Brothers — and no, that's not a typo — you'll definitely enjoy your time here. To help set the mood, a special booth has been set aside for Match Meetings in the far corner of the room: get cozy, play some Pong, and maybe make things interesting. Strip Marco Kart, anyone?

Of course, those that opted not to sign up for the city's version of eHarmony won't be left out of all the fun! In preparation for the big day, Flora and Cornelius have put together what they're affectionally calling the single mingle: a weeklong invitation to enjoy the best in everything but romantic films and features at the local theatre. Feel free to come alone or bring a pal or two, and enjoy complimentary admission and select snacks each night — just don't let them catch you getting frisky! That's what the drive in is for!




Surprise! It's a Valentine's event that's almost not about Valentine's Day! For those of you that participated in our survey, you should have received a private message from our moderator journal with information regarding your character's match assignment by now. If you did not receive one, please let us know!

Because this event runs a little differently than many of our other events, we've opted to tweak our process a little as well. For your character's date, please locate your appropriate date and location in our BLIND DATE THREAD HERE. If it's still empty, your character has beaten their date to the punch (and maybe the free food, too). If there's already a reply, greet your date! (Pretty simple, right?) For all other threads, including pre/post date experiences, feel free to post traditional open top levels as usual!

For example: Flora may have a blind date with Cornelius on Monday at DeWolfe's, so she'll comment to the Monday thread's DeWolfe comment with her starter. This will make it easy for Cornelius to find her thread and reply. However, Flora may also be lingering outside beforehand looking nervous, or shopping in the mall the day before and looking for help in finding an outfit — these prompts can be posted as traditional open top-levels!

If you have any further questions specific to this event, we encourage you to ask away on our QUESTIONS COMMENT here in this post. If you have general questions, or prefer a more private venue, our GENERAL INBOX (and SCREENED INBOX) is always available for you. In addition, if you've got an idea for a future event, feel free to drop us a line at our EVENTS SUGGESTION POST.

Peace out, cuddle scouts!

for Waverly!

[personal profile] fadingspark 2018-02-02 02:50 am (UTC)(link)
So he had signed up really just as a way to meet someone new. He liked meeting people new, making friends, and honestly, he needed more friends. Stiles had been here two weeks after all, and the more people he could be cuddly with, the faster he will get to be able to go home and save his father.

Stiles had yet to meet Waverly, so he was excited. He cleaned himself up, shaved, and made sure he picked up a corsage because their date location was at the roller skating place so it would be awkward for her to carry flowers but she could wear them just fine on her wrist, right?

Or was that a prom only thing? He was starting to debate whether this was a good idea as he paced outside Good Times, talking to himself.

Waverly liked to meet new people too. She was pretty friendly and she never had trouble with that. But mostly she was meeting people online, so this would be different. She didn't know anything about who she was meeting. She just had a time and a location.

If he turned out to be some kind of crazy person, well Waverly wasn't as helpless as she looked. But she was sure it would be fine. She almost talked herself out of it, because it felt a bit like she was cheating on Nicole. But this didn't have to be anything other than making a new friend. And Waverly was happy to have friends.

She spotted him, he looked nervous. She also observed he was a bit younger than she was. That didn't bother her. And oh he had a corsage, how thoughtful. "Hey!" She greeted him with a bright smile, offering her hand. "I'm Waverly!"
fadingspark: (adorkable smile)

[personal profile] fadingspark 2018-02-06 01:59 am (UTC)(link)
Oh wow, she's got a nice smile. "Hi Waverly, I'm Stiles." He returned her smile with one of his own. "I take it you're my OKC date for the evening?"
angelpants: (Default)

[personal profile] angelpants 2018-02-06 12:55 pm (UTC)(link)
"Stiles. Cool name." She said with another smile. "Yeah, it looks like it." She'd never met another Stiles that she could remember, just like she figured he hadn't met another Waverly. It wasn't exactly a common name. "It's so nice to meet you." She told him. "Is that for me?" She asked, looking at the corsage.
fadingspark: (well what about)

[personal profile] fadingspark 2018-02-06 02:02 pm (UTC)(link)
Stiles looked down at his hands, having forgotten the corsage a moment and he laughed. "Oh, yeah. I figured it was the good first impression thing to bring flowers, but since it's a roller rink you can't really carry them so I know its kinda cheesy..."

He's going to keep rambling because that is what he does.
angelpants: (Default)

[personal profile] angelpants 2018-02-09 12:38 pm (UTC)(link)
"it's adorable." She smiles at him again. Waverly's just full of smiles, she really can't help herself, and Stiles is cute and thoughtful. "Thank you." She says. She holds out her wrist. "Want to put it on me?"
fadingspark: (adorkable smile)

[personal profile] fadingspark 2018-02-11 04:15 am (UTC)(link)
"Sure. Just tell me if it's too tight." Stiles will carefully slide the corsage onto her wrist, making sure that the flowers sat perfectly on top of her wrist.
angelpants: (Default)

[personal profile] angelpants 2018-02-11 04:01 pm (UTC)(link)
"It's perfect," Waverly tells him with a smile. "You skate much?" She asks. This is kind of an odd place for a first 'date', but she's sure they'll have fun anyway. Stiles is cute, and nice, and the corsage was so thoughtful.

[personal profile] fadingspark 2018-02-14 02:54 am (UTC)(link)
"Well, we have an ice skating ring back home, so I know how to do that. I'm not sure how stable I'll be on the wheels though." He shrugged because there was a first time for everything. "WHat about you?"
angelpants: (Default)

[personal profile] angelpants 2018-02-15 01:14 am (UTC)(link)
"Yeah I'm from Colorado." Waverly told him. "So ice skating is definitely more common than this...but I've been a few times." Not since she was a kid. "Should be pretty interesting to see how this goes."
fadingspark: (lopsided grin)

[personal profile] fadingspark 2018-02-17 03:31 am (UTC)(link)
"So how about we promise not to laugh at each other if and when we fall flat on our faces?" There's a grin on his lips, a gentle teasing in the moment as he goes to open the door for her.
angelpants: (Default)

[personal profile] angelpants 2018-02-18 10:50 pm (UTC)(link)
"Deal." Waverly agrees. "Hey, I may even try to catch you." She says, as if implying that he's more likely to be the one to fall. But it's definitely in a joking manner, and she walks through the door and looks around. "Not too crowded today."
fadingspark: (lopsided grin)

[personal profile] fadingspark 2018-02-19 11:12 pm (UTC)(link)
"And I will totally try not to drop you if I try to catch you." His grin grew as they entered and he looked around as well. "So more room for us to flail about. Awesome."
angelpants: (Default)

[personal profile] angelpants 2018-02-22 12:33 pm (UTC)(link)
She laughed at him, just a bit. "Come on, I'm sure we'll be fine. And if we don't like it? There's always the snack bar." Something told her that Stiles wouldn't mind that at all. "So where are you from, Stiles?"
fadingspark: (lopsided grin)

[personal profile] fadingspark 2018-02-23 11:14 pm (UTC)(link)
"California. Small town up in the hills called Beacon Hills. What about you?"

He will steer them towards where the skate rentals are because he doesn't own any and will need a pair.
angelpants: (Default)

[personal profile] angelpants 2018-02-24 06:11 pm (UTC)(link)
"Purgatory, it's in Colorado." She won't be surprised if Stiles hasn't heard of it. "California sounds nice, spend a lot of time at the beach?" She doesn't think he has, judging by his pale skin.
fadingspark: (i'm keeping you)

[personal profile] fadingspark 2018-02-25 06:36 pm (UTC)(link)
Pale? No, he's a pasty white boy, let's be real.

"Not really. The beach is over an hour away and you have to drive through LA to get there. And you don't really drive through LA as you just crawl through it."
angelpants: (Default)

[personal profile] angelpants 2018-02-25 11:30 pm (UTC)(link)
"Yeah I guess that would make it harder." Waverly says. "Still, it's a lot closer than we are in Colorado." She adds, as they get their skates. "I like the idea of the beach, so peaceful."
fadingspark: (don't underestimate me)

[personal profile] fadingspark 2018-03-03 03:21 am (UTC)(link)
"We've got a good forest. It's good for hiking and camping out and it's far enough away from the city that you can see all the stars."
angelpants: (Default)

[personal profile] angelpants 2018-03-03 05:42 pm (UTC)(link)
"That sounds nice. Usually too cold to do that in Colorado." Waverly tells him. "The snow can be real pretty though."
fadingspark: (test time)

[personal profile] fadingspark 2018-03-09 01:54 am (UTC)(link)
"Snow is pretty to watch and great for closing school. Though our school rarely closes. We had a power outage in the entire town and they still opened our school."
angelpants: (Default)

[personal profile] angelpants 2018-03-09 12:56 pm (UTC)(link)
"How did you guys even do anything?" Waverly asked. "Candles?"
fadingspark: (Default)

[personal profile] fadingspark 2018-03-11 04:06 am (UTC)(link)
"Sunlight mostly. Most of our classrooms had a wall of windows. At least it was a sunny day, right?"
angelpants: (Default)

[personal profile] angelpants 2018-03-12 03:39 pm (UTC)(link)
"That's good." Waverly agrees. "At least it wasn't during winter or something."
