Chaotic Mess
(Credit to the wonderful

for making this for me!)ZINDER IS BACK FOR THE MONTH OF ROMANCE EVERYONE!!!
Legends speak of an angel that descended to Koboh thousands of years ago. An angel of great beauty and grace, she is said to have been a gentle soul who cured the ailments of all those who had fallen ill during a great plague. The kindness and love that she offered all those who crossed her path spread across the world. Reaching the ears of a spacer who desired to find the greatest beauty in the galaxy to be their wife.
Searching for the angel, the spacer found dozens of people who hailed her name, told tales of how she held a healing touch and how she could cure anything. The spacer also learned that she did this without desire for reward and declined any style of compensation. And the number of tales of heartbroken men who failed to swoon her heart and the spacer was convinced that it would take some great gesture or fantastical gift they did not hold.
The spacer began talking with people who had met this angel of love, asking what she looked like, what she enjoyed and what they could offer to capture the heart of this amazing beauty. Answers offered were vague, nothing seemed to work in gaining the angel’s attention in matters of love beyond the desire to help others. No credits, no great gifts, no promises of endless love. This beautiful angel just desired to help others and move forward in her life.
After a year of hunting the angel down, the spacer nearly gave up hope on finding where this reclusive beauty might be hidden. Until an old man came to them, stating that they must find a tree in the old forest, take a branch and whittle a spoon with the symbols of their passion, their understanding of the angel and the promises they seek to deliver on. A lovespoon. A simple gesture but one that took time, dedication and a desire to perfect.
Finding the best branch of perfect size and colour, the spacer dedicated themselves to whittling the perfect lovespoon to win the heart of the angel. Something that showed the understanding they held for the kindness the angel bestowed the people of Koboh as well as appreciating the focus on work over oneself. Pursuing a path with fervour. Each symbol connecting to them both and twisting their fates together.
Once completed, the spacer left the forest and found the angel waiting for them. Sitting, patiently. She took the lovespoon, holding it close to her chest and thanked the spacer for showing a symbol of their love to her. A single kiss was shared between the two of them. After the kiss, the angel collapsed in the arms of the spacer and passed away. Exhaustion and age finally catching up to her in the moment.
The spacer took her body and created the largest bonfire Koboh had seen. The bonfire burned for days, if not weeks, with drinking and dancing. Memories of the Angel of Koboh and the brief but pure love she shared with the spacer.

Here are the objectives for the event so you guys can plan where to be!
Objective 1 - Whittling Our Love - Couples can carve a large wooden lovespoon to symbolise the love shared, exploring the process the spacer went through in the legend and learning of the differing ways that one can design a lovespoon. Each is unique since they can correlate only to the relationship shared with the couple. Zinder invites everyone to create a symbol of their love, a representation of your relationship whether new or old.
Objective 2 - Our singles have a new opportunity to meet and date, with Zinder’s Speed Dating Event! Join us at a fine establishment where drinks flow freely. Meet people for a brief time to feel if there is a spark connection before moving onto the next person. If you find that spark and it is shared then you two are free to have a meal at the restaurant or go explore the other events that are going on! (OOC: How this will work is each pairing would have two posts to say hi/see if there is a connection before deciding to move on or explore things further.)
Objective 3 - A Grand Bonfire has been constructed with a bar surrounding it. This large bonfire is in relation to the legend of the angel, with her body cremated by the spacer for all to see her fire. Restoring the tradition of a Grand Bonfire that burns for days, Zinder has also utilised this opportunity to allow people to gather, drink, dance and celebrate the legend’s heartbreaking conclusion. All drinks are themed around love potions or love cocktails, enjoy the festive delights!
Objective 4 - Competitive Shooting Range (Dice Rolling objective) Couples that reach a score of 20 using the d6 on the board will receive a special prize. For our competitive and goal-orientated couples, Zinder has come up with a competitive shooting range! Test your skills with a gun, shooting down targets and attempting to beat a high score as a couple. Each person must have a go and you must reach over the score of 20 to win a prize! We are hoping this will inspire couples to work together well while also giving them a fabulous prize for achieving this collaboration. Test your bonds and see how well you fair! (OOC: This is a dice rolling event, each couple must roll a 1d6 per post and once the combined score reaches over 20 then you win a prize that I will be working on in the factory.)
For those seeking to do some fun matching/swiping here is a rough Zinder template (Feel free to make your own):
Age: (Character's Age) (OOC: Characters must be 18+ to join here)
Interests: (List some character interests that might entice a partner)
Dislikes: (What your character doesn't want to see in a partner)
Seeking: (What are they seeking? Age range, moral alignment, faction allegiance, someone with similar hobbies, any specific looks or gender preferences.)
Have fun and looking forward to the event kicking off next week!
