. : What is a Lock and Key Event? : .
Simply put, a modern lock and key party is a type of singles party.
Every girl receives a necklace with a lock on it as they walk in; every guy receives a necklace with a key on it. Within the group, there is a key for every lock and vice versa. The object of the game is to find your match.
This roleplay is no modern-day lock and key event.
. : Plot : .
Once Upon a Time, there lived a king with a rather stubborn daughter. She had just breached the age of seventeen, three years later than the normal time to marry, yet she still refused to accept any of the suitors proposed by her father. The stubborn girl declared that there was 'no chance' whatsoever in her father's method of choosing. Her father, King Lelair, thought over his daughter's words carefully, and set up an intricate system of choosing her husband- one in which 'chance' was indeed a variable.
King Lelair's method was to congregate the unmarried royalty of all of the kingdoms in the realm at his summer castle, just outside of his country Mirarenn, where they would partake in a game. Every princess, duchess, or etc. would receive a randomly distributed locket with their invitation, and every prince, duke, or etc. would be given a unique key. Their job was to get to know each other, and over the span of a month, find whose key opened whose locket. The couples that ended up as partners would be wed at the end of the month's time they were given.
However, there is a damper in the King's little game. After spending a month in his summer castle getting to know each other, what if an unmatched pair fell in love with each other? They'd exchange necklaces with another. What if another was jealous? They'd either steal or fight for the rights to a necklace. And if one person were to steal the key of another? They would marry both men or women. There were many problems stitched into the history of the game, and now, ten years later, the same engagement continues. Young people from all over the realm have been invited to stay in the darling king's mansion, sent by their family to find another to wed. What could possibly happen this time around?
. : Other Information : .
All characters will be staying at the castle both night and day, enough said. Group excursions are a possibility.
There are various ways to spend one's day there, there's no need to be hunting down your partner constantly. Get to know others. Have conversation. That being said, you're free to have your characters try finding matches as you'd please. I'll be posting a rough map and a list of amenities some time soon.
Rooms will be private suites, no shared bath chambers.
Here's the fun part. No servants will be available to do any of the chores! Yeah!
That means that the guests are entirely alone in this, as the king so wished. Guests will have to cook and clean for themselves.
A side note from myself- I won't be telling you who's lock matches who's key! If two characters attempt to see if a key fits a lock, I'll expect both of the Menewshans controlling the pair to come to a mutual decision whether or not the key fits. You can have your characters try to find matches whenever you'd like; first day, last day, somewhere in between.
. : Maps : .
Lelair's summer castle is based off of Château de Chambord.
( I'll be impressed if you know your french castles. ;D )
Room guide here, thanks to the lovely April.
I realize that this isn't current, but I don't want to lose it. =.=;
Please just don't be so picky with which room is yours unless its necessary.
Castle map, anyone?

Empty rooms can be used to guests' convenience.

. : Rules : .
If you have any questions about these, PM me!
Follow Menewsha's rules.
Keep it PG-13.
Don't be rude or disrespectful in OOC.
Under no circumstances may your character have a lock that has two keys, or vice versa. That's against the plot.
Title your PM to me as "Lock" for a girl character, and/or "Key" for a guy.
** I will not accept new characters unless the couples are uneven.
Please try to help keep the couples to an even number.
If you're going to be gone for any reason, just notify me via PM.
This is a Semi-Lit RP. The means no one-liners, and an attempt to use proper spelling and grammar!
I, as thread owner, hold the right to add, subtract, or -for heaven's sake- multiply these rules if I so wish so.

PM these to me.

Because I'm awesome *shot* I made a room list so we can keep track of who has which one. :feesh: It might get confusing later I guess.
I looked through the thread and filled in what was already mentioned via your intro posts but there were some really vague ones.. XD
I also took it upon myself to label the rooms for easier picking, but before you decide please check below to make sure the room wasn't taken or pending occupancy. [I've also included a list for that.]
All I need you to do now is let me know what I got right or wrong and I'll edit appropriately~
Me? A liar? Never.
Oh wait.
That was a lie.
But you know what...
Everyone lies. House (from House M.D.) told me so. XD
I totally foresee Danny and Zamir being friends -- they're both emperors. Emperors need to stick together. Broskis for life. XD THEY SHOULD BE NEIGHBORS. That way they can accidentally stumble into each other's rooms and have cuddle sessions. :P
And Razi isn't crazy. She's psycho. x______x I honestly don't think any man would want her. She's a nightmare. >____<
---------- Post added 05-01-2012 at 09:24 AM ----------
OMG. I just realized something.... Danny, if in 4L, would be next to the dining room/kitchen. How appropriate.
OH MAN! And Razi would be closest to the arms room and close to the fighting areas. How appropriate. I just have mad picking skills. O_o I really should have looked a the overall map the first go around. But I'm so awesome I could not look at it and get the rooms right. XD
LMAO. House is quite sexy. Not Danny-sexy, but still pretty sexy for an older guy. WAIT. Does that mean liar = sexy!? REVELATION.
*NOSEBLEED.* on the "cuddle sessions" part. Heck yes. I've almost-practically-officially taken the "1st Floor || Right Corner" room. You and your ideas, Wavi! GEEGGUL. Someone's gonna be creepin' in somewhere tonight. <_<
*Edit: [Whoa, what? XD]*
And wow @ your noseroom-pickin' skills. Definitely. XD
They will be so cute. I can foresee all the ladies getting jealous. Danny and Zamir sitting in a tree - bed. K-I-S-S-I-N-G. XD And I don't think Danny would mind. I think he is secretly afraid of the dark. HE WILL BE ALL LIKE, "Zami-kun, can you hold me?" And then there will be adorable sleepy-by beddy-by cuddle times. :3 They are seriously so cute.
BOOGERS.
That is all.
Awww. :( Now Danny's not next to the kitchen. OH WELL! He can suck it up. XD He'll just have to walk down the hall and not be a lazy bum. XD But at least he's across from his lover - I mean bro. :P
And awesome smells like... success. (I know, I'm so helpful). ;D
---------- Post added 05-01-2012 at 09:49 AM ----------
Oh god. I just realized Danny's near the pantry. XD He shall be stealing snacks every night. :3

I know, poor baby. BUT if Scarlett doesn't end up taking the "1st Floor || Left Corner" then I can move both of them to the Left side. That would be even better for Danny-boy's "late-night cravings", if you know what I mean. XD
AUGHSLDKGJ. "Dan-sama, don't touch me there! Kyaa~" :feesh:
*Die.*
What's wrong with me!?

Oh myyyy~~~! I didn't think anyone would catch that. TEE HEE. <3 XD
Oh boy. We're going to have TOO much fun with these two. It'll be great. Now they just needa hurry up and meet. AND BE ALL STARRY EYED FOR ONE ANOTHER AND THEN GET COZY AND HAVE BABIES.
I wonder what Danny's parents would think....
Danny: Mom! I brought home my partner!
Mother: Oh, lovely. Let us prepare.
Father: Yes! Let us.
*A week later and they still haven't met the bride*
*At the wedding ceremony*
Mother: I can't believe Danny wouldn't let us meet his bride...
Father: He must be very proud of his selection!
*music plays and Danny and Zamir walk down the isle*
Mother: Oh, she's lovely.
Father: Yes, yes! She will make a find bride.
*at the alter*
Priest: Do you, Danny, take Zamir to be your lawfully wedded husband.
Mother: WHAT! HUSBAND!
Father: *passes out*
Mother: I CANNOT BELIEVE YOU WOULD DO THIS TO ME!
Father: *still passed out*
Danny: Whaaaa? You said marry whoever made me happy. This is who makes me smile. Who makes my heart skip a beat. Who makes me feel... alive and complete.
Mother: -_- I'm putting you up for adoption....
Danny: D:
Father: x_______x
Sounds about right, then. Though I'd have to say "mob" sounds scarier than "gang". Pitchforks, torches, angry.. you know the drill. ;)
Urk. I'm regretting staying up all night since I have to go renew my license today. Hopefully I don't fall asleep before we have to leave. Better yet, before the DMV itself closes. XD
I'll just finish up my intro post and then I'll be back in a few hundred years~ Later Wavi! :feesh:
Lol! I know right. Its the same with that kid who got shot with the candy, I can't for some reason find a story on it. Same area. I'm sitting here like really???
---------- Post added 05-01-2012 at 07:56 PM ----------
nvm, found it! Im a bit tipsy, Alex had to help me xD
Anyways, hi all! :D Thanks for the room-mapping system, April!~
Gotta say the Dan-Zam talk was interesting to read through, lol.
*cough* reaction two...
That last bit of news is scary... Be careful!
I know things were pretty strange when Mrs. Giffords was shot around the good side of town here, too.
I kinda know that feeling, though...
I should really go reply to the roleplay now, sorry for the thread neglect.~
DUDE, THAT'S CRAZY. But still it unfortunately happens every day. ;=; Where are my supah heroz?
And no offense to the TM case but it's just been drawn out way too long by the media-- if you'd even call them that anymore with the overpriced guano they're feeding us. I'm glad I don't have TV or I'll go crazy hearing about racial ding dongs and whatnot [which is about all I really hear on the radio or read online in the first place!]. If it's not TM, it's Obama, and if it's not Obama it's some "celebrity" with a new hairdo, baby or divorce. IMO, the more you talk about it the more you promote it. People will do just fine without having to be reminded constantly of their supposed "differences". Hello, it's just melanin. Everyone's a gross shade of pink or red on the inside. DX
ANYWAY, before I get on some Wailord tirade that has absolutely nothing to do with our RP..
Katie Scarlett Divine: (..ski)
If you'd like to "mini time-skip to dinner" with me then we can have our characters chat elsewhere until the rest stop making a mess in the kitchen. <_<
@Wavski:
Don't get mad, Dannybby. <3
I just realized:

"Mother, I didn't find a woman."
"Why not?"
"I was too busy loving a man."

@Arcski:
No worries about not posting for a while. Everyone does it sooner or later.. ;;
Huzzah for reaction two! :squee:
You're very welcome, Arc! Though I hope it wasn't too much. XD I mean, I thought it was too much but I couldn't help myself anyway. *Shot.*
Speaking of that, let's not talk about DEEEEAAATTTTTH anymore. T^T This is a happy place!
