Walking up to the bar, he waited his turn before saying, “Hey, could I try one of those Grinch cocktails?” Eggnog was a classic for the season, but he figured since he was in a new place, he might as well try something new. It looked like spiked hot chocolate was also an option, but honestly, it was so warm here that Will didn’t know who would want it. A nice thought, perfect for Chicago winters for sure. This tropical island paradise? Not so much. 

Taking his drink, Will thanked the bartender before moving off to make room for the next customers. He meandered around the place, admiring the lights. He hadn’t quite decided yet if he was going to stay somewhat late for the fireworks. On the plus side, they would be pretty. On the minus side, he wasn’t sure if he’d end up wandering around alone the whole rest of the night. After awhile, his drink was gone. “Hm, I wonder if these guys are recyclable,” he mused, turning the cup upside down to look for any indication on the bottom. He was no stranger to talking to himself, but typically he refrained from it in public. 

Event 003: Blind Date Event!

To celebrate the upcoming Valentine’s Day Holiday, the Estates has set up a blind date event! All dates will be randomly assigned by Estates Staff. Dates will be able to do whatever they want, the full island available to them with all drinks, food and activities on the house for the daters!

The event is set on Saturday February 8th. A kick off party held at the Blue Temptation Nightclub. All daters will be given a number 1-13, at the beginning of the activity, setting them up with their date, finding the person who has your matching number to find your date for the night. You can choose to hang out at the Club and get to know each other or go to any activity or place on the island for your date. 

Have fun and get to know each other! Who knows, maybe love will blossom!

If you choose to stay at the Night Club for the evening, Valentine’s themed drinks will be flowing all night. Stay safe and have fun!

You have an entire week  to participate as much as you like! All starters for this event should be posted between February 3rd - 8th, but feel free to play them out for as long as you desire. Your starters and threads can be at any point in the night. You don’t have to start them all just finding out you’re each others blind date, you can be at any point in your night together that you desire.
