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 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!

hi, cal!!! it's good to see you again!!

she really would be so funny. i hope ryuki is someone who can handle her energy

[zuihitsu]

sdfsalkjf i don't really have anyone else in mind it's fine

the other characters that i have rn who'd agree to come would admit even less while the characters i have that would admit to wanting love wouldn't agree to the dating game reality show premise

[snarksengumi]

I'm glad you think so, because I have no clue what I'm doing—

[lockedon]

kia.....i can't wait to see your power unleashed in a shipping game

[lockedon]

jae.....touches you again for the nth time (it's val)

i hope your work hours cooperate 🥺🥺

[lockedon]

it's for the best you don't know granblues......granblue is a pox upon humanity



BUT HI CAL I'm excited to touch this new character of yours....he looks bullyable

[lockedon]

touches sib gently

[lockedon]

i'm cracking up at the thought of napoleon

but all of these are good, follow your heart

[holynights]

i can't wait to see him get suplexed in this game one way or another.

I'm so excited to see you play someone who isn't the the voice of reason and therefore able to help a significant portion of the cast regulate their feelings. What if we don't have anyone who can do that? Holy moly, I can't wait! I'm excited for him!

[holynights]

listen i can't make any promises that this won't be worse than prison.

I am completely canonblind to JoJos other than everything I've consumed through osmosis (all of which seems increasingly unhinged and unbelievable), but I've always thought that Jolyne seems super cute!! I think she'd have a lot of fun here if you choose to go with her!! Always happy to offer enablement for anyone else you're mulling over too... but for now I will think of ways for her hair to be xmas tree green.

[dominooo]

the world is not ready for my full power but I am hype...

[uncoils]

Increasingly unhinged and unbelievable is spot on honestly. And I am 100% good with christmas tree color hair (and will look around to see if that exists as an alternate color scheme because for all I know, it does).

And I appreciate the enabling! I think I'm pretty much locked in here, but it's good to know if there's a sudden okay but what if this character instead

[dyew]

i'm above you too

for shame

[dyew]

IT WAS THAT OR SOMETHING ABOUT HIS TITS

[dyew]

thank you 😭 skipping getting more constellations on her rerun so i can roll fucking. scaramouche. hurts me so badly... but one day. One Day.

[dyew]

Character Considerations: shakes my bag of blorbos. stares into the abyss.

Possible blorbo options include Zelos Wilder from Tales of Symphonia, Sonia Nevermind from SDR2 (technically three, but waggles hand into eternity), Presa Tales of Xillia............. maybe an Ah! My Goddess.................. hm
Certainty: unless something wacky happens, i don't see why not!
Questions, Comments, Concerns?: pats thigh. come take a seat.
Anything else?:

[lockedon]

i hope **** is kill

Character Considerations: i'm gonna be honest, not a clue as of yet! i have a whole smorgasbord of characters to consider, but most aren't readily romantically available, and i do want to play someone compatible with the setting. i have a feeling any choices would likely be from the gacha game alchemy stars, because i have hella brainrot and that's just where i'm at right now. pittman is the forefront consideration rn. maybe another gal from it.
Certainty: barring something time-consuming cropping up during the game's timeframe, i'm in it, baeby. all about sappy shippy shit even if i do have a preference for slowburn.
Questions, Comments, Concerns?: i've never been a part of a shorterm game before, and i'm wondering if i should give are you the one? an episode watch or two (i probably will just because it does sound entertaining, hehe).

Anything else?: you have been spared... for now

[dyew]

that is in fact one of four things **** stands for

[uncoils]

I believe it.

They're all...choices. I can't really help with suggesting because I have the terrible misfortune or liking all of them.

Character Considerations: RANDOM OBSCURES LET'S GO

Mikado Aisaka aka Yoshi Nanase from 1BitHeart - A bit of an odd fellow who seems to know what everyone wants and gives it to them immediately. He loves all of humanity and sees himself as garbage, so, you know, already a great candidate for finding love.

Tatsuma Hiyuu from Tokyo Majin - anime adaptation of a silent protag, he punches demons at night and ALSO loves humanity but in a somewhat more normal way. He just likes people and wants to help everyone he can. Very sweet, loves strawberries, kind of quiet which makes him a little tougher but I think I can manage!

Saki Watanabe from Shinsekai Yori/From the New World - definitely on the older side compared to most folks' options so far (27), lady with psychokinesis from a society that makes it literally impossible to hurt other humans and also encourages bonobo-like relationships so she's. She's very open to things if nothing else.

Theobald Leonhart from LiEat - this is a longshot because he's the type who would sign up explicitly to scam people on accounts of being a con artist. He does have a sweet side to him if you look... very very very deep inside.

Certainty: WE WILL SEE HOW MUCH UNPACKING I CAN DO FROM MOVE AND ENERGY LEVELS AND SUCH.

Questions, Comments, Concerns?: I've never done a dating game before so I dunno how good I'll be at it but I'm WILLING TO GIVE IT A SHOT

Anything else?: Here's a Tatsuma gif look how cute he is

[lockedon]

i only played alchemy stars for a bit before arknights pushed it out (sorry alchestars) but i can only support your brainrot, as a fellow gacha brainrot player. u_u

also pittman looks hot, so

[lockedon]

okay hot, sign me up 😳

[holynights]

Okay I really want to know how CHAINSAW MAN of all series has someone named Santa Claus, but I assume there's something horrible associated with him to balance out the name...I'll learn for myself soon enough.

I like all of your options...! I figure Aki very much needs to learn the reason for the season and could therefore be cheered a bit by some mistletoe magic... Luna-Terra I feel would also be a hot disaster? But I'm lazy and love to enable the route of least canon review, too.
