glacial_queenHey there residents of Fandom!
You know the best part of newbies on the island? The chance to meet new people and make friends. This week, however, Fandom has decided to help everyone out, either with meeting newbies or seeing current friends in a different light. This Wednesday, July 7th, the island is going to help will be Meet Cute Day, where everyone on the island will find themselves in very silly, stock romantic-comedy type scenarios with people. Such things might include:
*The accidental fall into someone's arms/landing flat on top of one another
*Getting stuck in a broom closet/elevator together
*Two people reaching for the same item at a store.
*The beavior of a creepy NPC forces someone to pretend someone else is their significant other.
Though the trope is called the meet cute, there won't be a need for this to be restricted to only characters who have never interacted. Any scenario that wouldn't be out of place in a romantic comedy (bonus points if it would induce eye-rolling any other time) would be acceptable. Nor do these scenarios have to end in some kind of romantic tension. Being stuck in an elevator or having to catch a suddenly clumsy friend for the third time that day is going to be more aggravating than romantic, almost certainly.
Feel free to play it as you'd like, but, as always, OOC communication is key. Hopefully I haven't forgotten anything, but feel free to ask questions in the comments!
