The Love Boat: Ladies Night (Closed)

[Nowherewoman]

All right. Hat in the ring, bra on the floor, something:

Played by:NowhereWoman
Name: Marissa Kennedy
Age: 28
Gender:Female
Birthdate: 5/18/1991
Sign: Taurus? Does anyone really get into that stuff any more?
Job/Profession: Artist
Current Locale: Albequerque NM
Bio: Just like Tinder, or something, huh?  OK, let's see.  Um. Single. Obviously. Quiet. In case you hadn't noticed. Maybe shy covers it, I don't know if that's really it. I just don't talk a lot. Usually.

Long Island girl, the Boroughs. Brooklyn Arts, then to Hunter for a BFA, since it was right there.  For anyone who doesn't know, a BFA is probably the most useless degree in existence.  So I went to Chicago, got a certificate in Studio Art at the Institute.  Before, in between, during, and for a while after, I sold a lot of coffee and books and swept a lot of floors, but am proud my resume nowhere contains the words 'do you want to supersize it?'

Now I live out in the desert, more or less. Like the scenery, love the quiet. I make what someone or other called 'construction' art, which means mostly there wasn't a label for it.  Mixed media, mostly large pieces. Lot of found forms, some industrial stuff.  I'm not Rembrandt, but I guess I'm moderately successful.

Annnnd...out. Now.  Recently, like a few months ago recently.  Happy birthday to me! So this is all kind of awkward, so I think I'll just stop here.

Favorite Food: Anything with cheese, so long as it isn't American 'cheese'.
Favorite Hobby:  Being on the water. Swimming, canoeing, sailing. Just watching it's fine, too. I guess that's why I want to go on this cruise.
Dream Date: I really don't know. Yoga retreat? OK, that was stupid.
Retirement Dream: Artists don't ever really retire, I don't think. But I'd love to spend some time in Egypt and SE Asia. All those monumental buildings.
Ons: Not a guy?  Seriously, I'm not sure. This is all real new. But they would need to be someone who was OK with just being quiet some of the time. Respect my elsewhereness. Saying 'not needy' sounds bitchy, and it's not quite what I mean, anyway. But like that.
Offs: Loud partying. Getting too drunk. People who are all outside, no inside, if that makes sense.

[Lyrical]

Are you guys still taking on more characters?

Hi Gnothi, we only have five posted + Nowhere's new entry. I think Blue was looking for 8-10 so I'm sure he'll welcome more. :)

[BlueEyedBard]

@Gnothi - we sure are!

@Nowhere - Marissa is accepted! Head over to the ooc to answer the poll, were at s dead tie so far

[Nowherewoman]

Yay!

[Dhi]

I'd like to try to put together a character, it might take me a few days though.

[BlueEyedBard]

Do it Dhi! I'd be excited to see what you come up with. There's plenty of room.

[Bibliophilia]

-excited for all these hot ladies to mack on.-

[Nowherewoman]

LOL Biblio...

[yuki92]

uh oh, this is so beautiful.. I'm tempted..

All these cutie ladies... and Ishihara Satomi!

I will try to make something.

Played by: Dhi
Name: Lakresha Price
Age: 26
Gender: Female
Birthdate: August 9, 1992
Sign: LEO
Job/Profession: Film Critic Podcaster
Current Locale: Middletown, Connecticut

Bio: I started this journey studying journalism in college but took a back alley doing a weekly program called Black Cat Crossing on campus radio, where we talked about spooky supernatural sightings and told true ghost stories til midnight. Through that I made lifelong connections in the content creator world, doing guest spots and fun skits for channels like Haunted Highway, Cinema Wrecking Crew, Disney XD, and Creepy magazine.

In 2013 I got a part in an indie movie called C.H.U.B.s 2: The New Breed. We had stupid fun getting soaked in fake blood and screaming at the top of our lungs. Some producers from up in Canada got in touch after that and told me, Lakresha, you're perfect for this project Pandora X, because you've got that buttery smooth voice and the look we want. Now I'd never read the comic book, so I didn't know what I was getting myself into. They sent me some trade paperbacks of New Beginnings, Pandora Nation, and Sinn Saga, and invited me up to Montreal for a Q&A panel. Looking out over that sea of excited faces, I was hooked, and I ended up living the part of supervillain Silk Weed for five life-changing seasons. I meet a lot of terrific fans of the show, and everyone wants to know if I kept the costume. I did not! They auctioned everything off for charity after the final season wrapped.

Since 2015 I've also been Lakresha Price, your Diagon Alleycat on the Dark Notes podcast with co-host Matt Wigg, where we talk about movies new and old, mainstream and indie, brilliant and incomprehensible. Listenership exploded like mad thanks to Pandora X, and Patreon support for that has been generous and amazing. Shoutout to all my Patreon friends, you are the sunshine on this cat's tummy. Purrr!

Favorite Food: Atomic Fireballs
Favorite Hobby: My new favorite thing is hitting up conventions, talking to fans and buying some horrible monster toys, but I hate getting sick!
Dream Date: I want to go rollerskating with you. Now, hear me out. You can learn a lot about a person when you both strap on wheels and hit the ground rolling. How does this girl handle losing control? Is she graceful, is she tuff? Is she going to laugh it up when I fall on my duff? It's good exercise and helps us stay young at heart.
Retirement Dream: I want to start a media company where we can choose our advertisers and give fresh young talent a voice. There's so many good ideas out there and the audience is growing.
Ons You're going to have to talk to me. Everybody's geeking out today, don't be afraid to nerdgasm about your animes and video games and comic book movies. I get into what you get into. Let me be your Catwoman. Be warned, I love my lipstick and if things go well you're going to get it on you.
Offs: Let's not go see a flick, it feels like work and it makes me anxious when my date is not even engaging with me.

[Nowherewoman]

LOL poor Rissa. All these outgoing aggressive babes, and she's barely figured herself out yet...

[BlueEyedBard]

I am really looking forward to the welcome cocktail hot tub party ^•^

@Yuki - There's still room, if you come up with something ~.•

@Dhi - Lakresha is approved! Drop by the OOC and answer poll to help decide the signature cocktail for the welcome party!
Also, I think people are gonna get lost in them tig ol' bitties 

[SINless]

I'm hoping you're still accepting players, this seems like a really great game.

Played by:Sinless
Name: Guusje Simons
Age: 22
Gender: Female
Birthdate: may 1st
Sign: Taurus
Job/Profession: Fitness coach/model
Current Locale: London, UK
Bio: Born in the Netherlands, Guusje started out doing Gymnastics. Her father especially, helped her perform, driving her across the country and beyond for events. Performing incredibly well at international meets by the age of fourteen, she was part of the olympic selection for the 2012 games in London.
A year after the olympics she suffered an injury to her back.

During recovery she started to get into crossfit. Noticing the increase in muscletone and the wonders it was doing for her back, she started showing her progress via instagram, and encouraging others to do the same. Now she works as a crossfit trainer and part time model
Favorite Food: Pasta Carbonara (the real one, without cream)
Favorite Hobby: Working out, and dancing. It's a real 50/50
Dream Date: Something active. A hike, rockclimbing, Iceskating. Just something other than sitting around, we can do that after.
Retirement Dream: After retirement, if she ever does really retire, Guusje is looking to keep up an active lifestyle. Travelling around the world, hiking, biking or otherwise.
Ons What do you look for in a partner? Humour, sensitivity, action
offs:What don't you like? overbearing people, shallow people, sloths

[BlueEyedBard]

Hey there Sinless, we are still accepting characters and Guusje looks like fun. The only thing is we already have a character who is a crossfit trainer/model. Now there is plenty of room for athletic characters, but I'd prefer if we didn't do a lot of stepping on each other's toes when it comes to specific careers.

I don't want to dissuade you from making a character, but if you could take her down a different rout career wise, it would be appreciated 

[Kitteredge]

Hey, I started writing this before I saw the age range. I figured she was a longshot to begin with, but I'll give it a shot nonetheless. How about someone who is working the cruise as perhaps the activities and entertainment director? She's certainly much older, has grown children of her own, but is exploring the world in sort of a second life after an amicable separation from her husband, finally able to discover herself sexually? Maybe not?

Anyway... I've always loved this model (whoever she is) and have sought a way to play her. Totally understand if the idea just doesn't fit. Not even sure anyone would be up for, like, a May-September sort of romance or even friendships.

[BlueEyedBard]

Hi Kitteredge, I am absolutely open to the idea of a character that was intended to work the cruise as a member of the crew, then getting the last minute surprise that she gets picked for the cruise instead. It's a thought that I had been rolling around myself. So I don't think that general idea is a problem...

However, I do think I want to stick with the original age range. It's already a 17year range, and if I'm thinking logistically, I believe the people at EftW likely wouldn't be trying to throw just one niche person into the mix.
I'm not saying there is anything wrong with the model, she's gorgeous. But for this game I'd like to stick with the age range we have.

[Bibliophilia]

She could easily work in the age range if she's just prematurely grey or has dyed her hair, Kit.  She isn't noticeably older than the other models in the face or anything.

[Kitteredge]

She really would throw things off, in retrospect. I'll try pitching a game of that variety somewhere else. All the best, everyone! Have fun!

[BlueEyedBard]

I wouldn't want to dissuade you from joining though, if any of Bibli's thoughts work for you, or if even you come up with another idea you like, you're still welcome to join.

Name: Sora Fujioka
Age: 22
Gender: Female
Birthdate: 17th April 1997
Sign: Aries
Job/Profession: Day Trader, Investor, Traveler
Current Locale: Tokyo, Japan
Bio: Everyone called me Sora, that's mean sky, i guess that's mean I'm destined to fly freely in this world. I was born as the third daughter, my first brother (10 years older) is a professional surfer and the second one (8 years older) is a professional rock climber, because i always together with them, watching them, i slowly fell in love with both sports, so i started doing it as well, not as a professional though. My parents won't allow me to travel by myself before finishing high school and forced me to learn about day trading instead, something which i appreciate now. Thanks to that lesson i can get money and literally do anything and go anywhere i want.

So right now, i'm just continuing to travel around the world, meeting a lot of new people and do whatever i want. But once in a while i need to do day trading if i need big cash, other than that i can live from my investment. I also have a travel blog and youtube channel if you are interested in that.

Favorite Food: Meat! Almost any kind of meat!
Favorite Hobby: Extreme Sports, Traveling
Dream Date: On top of the mountain watching the world below, or having fun together doing some adrenaline-pumping activities.
Retirement Dream: I want to travel the world! I don't care how old i am, i will continue to travel the world and looking for challenges.
Ons First of all, i'm addicted to adrenaline pumping activities, it might be hard, but if there is anyone who can stop me from doing that and hold me down, that will be awesome! But then again, it will be so hard! So i guess someone who want to be by my side and going on adventure together with me! If she can play music, that will be a huge plus!
offs: I hate tabaco's smell. And i also hate people who are always negative, i just don't understand why people being negative!
