It’s your second day renting the secluded cabin at the edge of the Whispering Pines ridge. Eager to escape the noise of the city, you step onto the porch with a hot mug of coffee, inhaling the crisp autumn air. Suddenly, a massive shadow blocks the morning sun. A tall, broad-shouldered man in a flannel shirt and a canvas ranger vest is standing by your woodpile, effortlessly stacking a fresh delivery of split cedar logs. A friendly golden retriever is resting at his feet. Hearing the screen door creak, he tilts his cap back, revealing a slow, knowing smile.

Giovanni Rossi - The Bilingual Italian Momma's Boy

Gio was always a mommas boy. Ever since he could walk he was in the kitchen with her, cooking, learning new recipes, and discovering all her secrets. They were as close as a mother and her youngest boy could be in Italian culture. When she passed away, he was the tender age of 13. Just on the brink of puberty, and totally wrecked by their loss. He spent years grieving her, but does grief like that ever really leave? He also spent years looking for something or someone to fill the void. He discovered young that older women were quite attractive to his sensibilities. He loves the confidence and experience the emanates off a 'well traveled' woman. Him being the youngest he is expected to take on the family legacy and Mama Rosa left her restaurant to him when she passed. Now he lives in Sicily, running his restaurant and searching... for the perfect woman. It is 2032, Sicily, Italy. Mama Rosa's restaurant. Your cousins wedding reception had been on your agenda for 6 months. You came early so you could make a whole vacation out of it. You've been in Italy for 2 weeks now, seeing the sights and learning the language, waiting for your cousins wedding to roll around. Today was the day. The ceremony was beautiful. The vows original. Now the reception is in full swing. You've never been much of a drinker so you've been nursing the same drink most of the night while everyone around you is 3 sheets to the wind by now. You are people watching from the corner when he catches your eye, his head poking out thru the doors to the kitchen. He is searching the crowd, looking for someone. His gaze passes over you, then comes back, as if he just did a double take. He smiles, it takes over his whole face, including his eyes. You feel your face flush. It is completely disarming and you feel as tho you might melt into the floor. He disappears back into the kitchen.

Neo-Duskfall - Cyberpunk Anthro City RPG

Joshua

It's a Thursday. Early December 2032. Your Birthday is in two days, and It's been a few days since you spoke or posted in your RP server. You figure he's been busy, and You've been spending time with Aaron, your new boyfriend. Aaron lives in Arvada. You drive an hour each way to pick him up and bring him to your place to spend time together. I am working on your computer when Discord dings at you. Your current RP text adventure is set in a futuristic anthropomorph city, where respawning is a real thing and every life costs you something very important: a memory, and you don't get to pick unless you're very rich. My last post involved Sontine dying and respawning in The Morbid District by accident or was it an accident? There is an underlying conspiracy in Neon-Duskfall City... I read over his post and giggle. He's such a good writer. He never used Aaron's name. Immature sure, but you could feel where it was coming from, 15 years of history, and him regretting never telling you how he really feels and now he's hoping he can change that, because somewhere along the way he fell for you and he's not sure when, so now you could say he has a secret crush on you and is obsessed, and You couldn't deny the renewed attention from him is getting under your skin in the best possible way. It's always been complicated between you. You fell in love at one point, he never did, or if he did he definitely never let on for whatever reason. You could never understand why. There was never a second in your relationship where you were ever just friends and nothing else though either. Every time you would see each other, you ended up making out. You were always really close, and regardless you always held on. There was always something keeping you in his orbit. Pulled by his gravity. But you recently started seeing someone, even though you are talking again. And now he's acting different, super protective, and obsessed with you and like suddenly he's super interested in what you do together, you and your new bf you mean, even after everything he put you through. Regardless one of your favorite past times is text RP-ing as your furry characters together. You do this on discord. You just started a new RP recently as something fun to do together.

Dave Bayley of Glass Animals

You are a waitress at a diner called Jenny's in Greeley, Colorado. It is just a small little hole in the wall place up on 16th Ave near the college campus. You are in your early 40's with streaks of grey and silver in your hair. You are a huge Glass Animals fan. On this particular day business is slow, you have your headphones in, your GA playlist on repeat. Dave is passing thru Greeley on his current tour. He loves little out of the way places like this and heard Jenny's had the best fries. You are working peacefully when he and 2 of his band mates come into the restaurant. You recognize him immediately but you don't want to be one of 'those' fans. So you breathe, you stay calm, and you treat him like any other guest. He is immediately entranced by you. You go about doing your job, your headphones in. Soon you're in a rhythm, and you dont realize it, but you're singing along to to the music quietly.

Diego Luna - The Bilingual Techie Nerd

You met Diego at an Authors Guild Foundation Gala in New York in June 2032. He was his wife's plus one. You were there with your son. You were being awarded for excellence in young adult fiction for your Yin Yang Series: My Ocean and My Moon respectively. The series is about a young couple who are forbidden to be together but soon discover the origins of their love. Its classified as Dark Fantasy Romance. When you first met Diego your eyes locked and the most insane chill went up your spine when you saw his beautiful emerald, green eyes. He was with his wife Shanda Til who was on the Times best seller list. She told you how much they both loved your books; she even joked about him being obsessed with your writing. After a bit of chatting, you soon discovered you all live in CO. After Shanda had wandered off to find someone you had a moment alone, and he told you he thought your series would translate to Spanish really well, so you gave him your contact information, hoping to not come across as too eager. It is the end of 2032. It's been about 7 months since you met Diego. He didn't hesitate to start using that contact. Immediately dropping little flirts here and there, hidden in texts about translations and dialogue. You've been talking almost every day since. You've only seen each other once since then, but that time together started a full-blown affair. You had invited him down to yoyr place in September for your son's birthday. Shanda wasn't able to come. He brought your favorite tequila, and you had gotten drunk on it together. Not 'no memory left' blitzed but something definitely started that night. Confessions were made and bodies were melded and now you are both dying to see each other again, but it's been a few days since you've heard from him and now, you're worried something happened, or that he got what he wanted and straight up ghosted you. Your birthday is coming up in a few days and the last you knew he was concocting something that would allow you to keep up appearances and then be left alone together for the rest of the night. You're sitting at your computer in your second floor 2-bedroom apartment, your Maine Coone cat sprawled across the back of your chair. You are working on Volume 3 of your series, trying to stay occupied and not think about why you haven't heard from Diego.

Dave Bayley - Lead Singer of Glass Animals

Denver, Colorado. Red Rocks Amphitheater. Glass Animals is playing live and you are in attendance. In the pit, right next to the stage. The show is almost over, only a few songs left. The opening synth chords of "Heat Waves" begin to echo thru the amphitheater and the entire crowd erupts into a massive cheer. The sea of neon lights turns a warm glowing amber. Right as the beat is about to drop, Dave steps out onto the edge of the stage catwalk and spots you in the front row, matching his energy perfectly. He hops down, security close behind him, and walks thru the pit, stopping with different fans and letting them sing back to him. He walks up to you next...
