INTEREST CHECK

INTEREST CHECK
Hi there! This is Shay, and this is my silly little shipping game idea. Welcome to the HOLIDATE interest check! Thank you for giving the game a look! HOLIDATE is a shipping game themed around winter holidays and Christmas romance tropes specifically. It borrows heavily from Are You the One?, both the reality television show and [plurk.com profile] starswept's short-term game from earlier this year. The premise is borrowed and tweaked with her permission!

HOLIDATE is a short-term, private game that will run on a weekly event schedule from Halloween to mid-December, with an "off" week with no major events to accommodate Thanksgiving. Each week, characters will compete in romantic challenges and dating scenarios while trying to find which other participant the game runners have selected as their Perfect Match. If all matches are found by the end of the game, every character will win a "Holiday Miracle" and be able to have a wish of their choice granted. While the basic structure is reminiscent of other short-term setups like murder and mafia style games, it is my intention that HOLIDATE remain low-pressure throughout its run. The short duration and end goal for the characters will still create the incentive for rapid CR development; however, participation in every single event isn't mandatory. This is my Christmas gift for my friends and I want to make it a positive, cozy experience.

If you haven't already, please check out the premise, rules, and FAQ for more information about the game. If you have any other questions, I'm happy to answer them as well! I'm very excited to play with everyone, and I hope the premise has piqued your interest!

The interest check is now running! Go wild in here, enable each other, hype one another up, and most of all, remember to make some holiday wishes come true!

Your Name: Des
Contact: Des#0723
Character Considerations: Currently I am trying to see if I can get a muse for Catherine or Katherine from Catherine, which I haven't played to completion, but either choice seemed like they were on the exact batshit level relationship drama appropriate for the show this game is based on while still being reasonable enough romance options!

But failing that my backup plans are KAITO Vocaloid, Kanon Tachibana or Motoi Anazawa NEO TWEWY (it's Motoi's birthday today! He's a little birthday boy!), YOOSUNG AGAIN????, or maybe someone from Collar x Malice, but I'd have to contend with my favorite choices from that one likely having wishes with utterly terrible consequences even compared to Yoosung.

Certainty: I have no idea who to play but I am definitely going to come!
Questions, Comments, Concerns?: Nope!
Anything else?: Not really, feel free to bias me one way or another!!
stickery: (belongs to my eyes and only mine)

Your Name: Cassie
Contact: [plurk.com profile] palkia / Keenir#2394
Character Considerations:
- eula genshinimpact, medieval franziska von karma
- barghest fategrandorder, a good dog who sometimes ****s
- napoleon fategrandorder, french
??? if all else fails i could just do sara genshinimpact again but inflicting her on people once was enough i think
Certainty: unless something goes COMPLETELY tits up in my life (please no) i'll be here! shay will kill me otherwise.
Questions, Comments, Concerns?: pees

Perfect! She couldn't ask for a better wingman.

And yeah I read the infopages and Jolyne was the first character I played that came to mind, so this really works out well.

Your Name: Lulu..........
Contact: [plurk.com profile] yautja or PMs are fine. Or yautja#3119 on Disco!!
Character Considerations: OKAY I THINK I'VE FINALLY NARROWED IT DOWN TO A COUPLE—Saito Hajime from FGO OR…Belial from GBF. The latter would make full use of the boom boom room and will probably require constant censorship from the editing crew pardon in advance while the former is probably the least horrible option but it also means I have to make icons and shit and u ghh nvm it's tragically a sure thing now, fuck
Certainty: I'M SO READY I'LL DO MY BEST—
Questions, Comments, Concerns?: EW WHY IS CASSIE HERE

HAHAHA the Jewish thing was a joke-- I am, but my family also celebrates Christmas because my dad is not so I am a-ok with anything.

But yeah, so far it's skewing towards Domi being a bisexual disaster.
