[A] HOLLOW EARTH – Blind Date With a Tomboyish and Mischievous Girl

Setting: Hollow Earth. The Earth’s surface is polluted, but the Hollow Earth beneath is filled with verdant forests. Dinosaurs and other gigantic creatures roam the Hollow Earth, a place tended to by both humans and saurians.

Your blind date: Chloe Bardoe is friendly, mischievous and tomboyish. She loves adventure, and was a surface dweller before moving to the Hollow Earth. She is now ready to find someone special to share her life with. During your date, you explore a nearby lake and cave, and play in the water together. You discover a number of glowing shells and fairies, and have an encounter with a dinosaur. It is soon time to return to town, but you miss your wagon and it begins to rain. Making the best of the situation, you take shelter together, slow dance, and get cosy, both realising how much you like one another.

[B] SIMULATION – Dating in an Open-World Survival Horror Game

You have been given a piece of gaming tech that digitizes you and allows you to enter games directly. You decide to play an open-world survival horror. Unfortunately, the tech has some bugs, and a very small number of people are unable to exit the simulation, including you. In your struggle, you meet a girl who has also been having trouble with dating. You decide to team up and strategise until you can escape. Together, you face zombies and unpredictable weather. You acquire resources, and find a house to settle down for the night. You tell each other about your failed dates, get to know one another, and have a virtual pizza eating contest!

[C] TOWER FILLED WITH LUXURIES - Satyr Scribe Listener x Human Princess Blind Date

You have received a personal invitation to the private coastal tower of the Archon. You are welcomed at the entrance of the tower by automaton guards and brought to the tower’s upper floors, where the human Princess Minah resides. The surprise date serves as a diplomatic offering between humans and satyrs. Seeing your nervousness, Minah asks you to try and unwind, showing you her self-playing harp, a stress ball that oozes calming slime, a holographic theatre-troupe, an autonomous drone, and a primitive communications device. The princess takes a liking to you and reveals her secret - she has been cursed and must wear a special pair of gloves, otherwise anything she touches will turn to gold. You are not bothered by this and confess your appreciation, offering to help her find a way to break the spell.

[D] A PRIVATE ROOM INSIDE AN ART GALLERY – Date with an Eccentrically Wealthy Dullahan Girl

You are invited to an art gallery owned by the wealthy Emberwood family. The gallery is filled with a variety of excessively luxurious items and gadgets. Your date is a dullahan named Aurelia, who carries herself with an air of superiority and speaks with naïve confidence. You share a meal, and Aurelia is intrigued by your charmingly ordinary lifestyle. She is appreciative of your humble attitude, and ability to talk to her like she is a real person and not an unapproachable elite figure. You tour the gallery, and give her a rose. Then, during a rare moment of vulnerability, Aurelia expresses her uncertainty regarding anyone willing to date a being like her. You reassure her, then spend more time talking about your histories.

[E] A HIDEOUT - Hero x Hero Date in an Inactive Volcano

You are a skilled firefighter and celebrated hero, who has abstained from relationships due to a misguided idea of being imperfect and unworthy of love. Out of pity, your parents organise a date for you. You are confused to see that your date will occur within a cavern inside an inactive volcano. This is a secret lair, and your date is an elaborately costumed Red Ember, a hero who is able to generate and manipulate extreme heat. She tours you around what you soon find out are the Heatstroke Headquarters. She shows you the crimefighting computer, geothermal power supply, super-cooled fighting simulation and danger room, collected mementos, and a motivation board. Afterwards, you swim laps together in their heated pool, and settle down to discuss your deep-seated issues and insecurities with one another. You then make smores together, and decide that you might have just found your perfect partner.
