Did You Know?
Braces, or suspenders, were almost universally worn due to the high cut of men's trousers. Belts did not become common until the 1920s. — MJ

The Kansas City Shuffle
#1
So recently I had to come up with some mechanism to force Thom and Ursula to talk to each other for a thread, which lead me to invent a vague wizarding card game that involves playing against one other person and shuffling from one table to the next every few minutes.

This has since struck me as a super fun dynamic and I'd like to actually have a thread like this that has short conversations and regular rotations - like speed dating sort of but without the dating aspect, necessarily xD

My vision for how this would work is:
- people sign up characters
- I put them all in a list and separate them into group a/group b.
- group a starts threads which group b joins
- after 3 posts from each character, everyone in group b switches threads (which can be done whenever the next thread is ready for you, not like, on a certain timeline or anything)
- IC this all happens at some generic party (so respectable-ish MC/UC folks)


Benefits for you:
- It's pretty low effort interaction and you don't have to think of ways to start threads
- Your character gets to meet people IC and maybe discover dynamics you otherwise wouldn't have
- If two characters have literally nothing to say to each other you get to awkwardly glare for three posts!

I'd use Ophelia, Thom, or Emrys - probably just one or two but I'd pick to even out whatever the eventual group ends up being.

If folks are interested, let me know with which characters so I can put something together. Smile

ALRIGHT!

Here is an event to place yourselves at, for reference. The (very vague) established rules of the card game are also located there. Feel free to reference and make up anything you like about our NPC hosts.

GROUP A
(Starting Threads)
GROUP B
(Joining Threads)
Aldous Crouch@"Diana Fawley"
Fitzroy PrewettSeraphina Nott
Ophelia DevineAugust Echelon-Arnost
Emrys SelwynGinevra Blackwood
Freya SelwynFaustus Prewett
William AbbottCalliope Zabini

Roberto DevineEvalina Rosier
Jack Humphrey-MavisCecily Gallivan
Roman Crouch@"Natsuko Mountbatton"


Once both players have made three posts of any length, your round is up and the player in Group B should move to the thread above them. You do have to wait for the thread you're moving into to be ready for you to join but don't need to wait on your first round to finish - so, for example:

Kayte starts a thread for Aldous and Diana but then is eaten alive by her moving troubles, so posting is slow going. Meanwhile, Roman and Natsuko are finished with their round. Diana can join Roman and have both threads going simultaneously. If Seraphina is done and wants to move on to Aldous' table, though, she's SOL until it's free.

Ping me with questions but otherwise have at it <3 I tried to stagger things so you aren't threadding with the same player repeatedly and no one should be threadding with themselves at any point xD
