"Welcome, welcome!" you are greeted by a man dressed to the nines about a quarter of a mile down the private beach at the docks as your boat pulls up. There is you on the small boat and a crew but none of the other guests, you arrive one at a time. "I am Wadsworth," the man explains as he holds in a tablet in one hand and motions for you to join him as the ship crew unloads your things and the team of bell hops start shuffling your things back to the hotel. "I hope your trip out to Pezula went well. If you need anything while at the hotel I am here to help. I will be coordinating all events while you are with us. Here is your room card," he adds as he hands you the key card, it emblazoned with your room number.
As he walks with you off the dock and onto the sand he tells you a bit about the hotel (any details can be found online basically if you just google the castle itself) and what you can be expecting during your stay. He explains that you are already paired up for the evening to begin the speed dating before dinner. Each couple will start off at a private table in the dining hall and you will have a short amount of time together. The first round is who you will start off with - names posted below - and once your limited time together is finished a little bell will ring, the men will rise and be repaired up with another person. He explains that he understands that many of the people attending have a wide variety of sexual identifications and not to worry if you are bi-sexual, gay or any other in the rainbow. This is just to let the guest mingle quickly to get a feel for the place.
Once each female has had a moment with each male all the visitors will turn in a card (which you will pm to the GM and CoGm) - So a count can be taken and those who seem the most interested in another can try something a little more intimate after dinner. Once he tells you who you are paired up with for the first round he turns and sees another boat approaching, asks you to wait right there since he will escort everyone to the hotel once they arrive, and hurries off to greet the next guest. This will continue until all the guests have arrived. (After which you will receive another World Narrative (From here on referred to as a WN) to give you the next update.

Clementine Morgan

Interacting With: Wadsworth
Clem leaned back slightly in her seat and enjoyed the scenery as the boat high speed boat traveled towards the beach shore line. The trip had not been all that bad, she had taken a first class flight from her home to Africa and after a few quick transitions she had been escorted to the final leg of her jaunt to the hotel. The place was beautiful from what she could tell online and the air was just perfect right then. It wasn't too hot, the wind and sea spray was a welcome change, the air was clean and the sight in front of her was breath taking. At this point she figured even if she didn't find someone she could at least enjoy some much needed down time and relax on the beach a bit before heading home but she kept her spirits up. This was a time to just see what happens.
As the boat docked she was greeted by the man who called himself Wadsworth and she returned his greeting with a broad smile as he took her hand and kissed the back of it gently. "Such a pleasure to meet you Miss Morgan, we have everything ready for your arrival," he said as he handed her the key to her room and explained where it was within the hotel. He handed her a small packet that had details of everything he was telling her about, the hotel amenities and more.
"I take it I am the first to arrive?" she asked as she stepped into the sands and slipped her heels off. The warm sand felt wonderful on her feet. Leaning down she rolled up the cuffs of her white pants legs and tucked her heels into her personal shoulder bag that she kept with her as the rest of her things were taken to the hotel by one of the bell hops.
"Yes ma'am you are but we will have more arriving shortly. We have sixteen joining us this week, so there should be a wonderful variety of people for you to get to know; both as friends and perhaps something more," he said with a wink before excusing himself as the next person arrived at the docks and the boat she had arrived on departed. Clem nodded slightly and let herself fall into the sands near the edge of the water and sat there watching, her feet moving so when the waves washed ashore they would run over her skin. It was refreshing and she let out a content sigh as she leaned back on her elbows and just took in the sights around her.

Christian hopped of the boat before it could even fully dock, landing in the water and it coming up to his waist. Wading through the water he laughed as Wadsworth tried to get him to go ahead and climb up on the docks. The tour guide just waving him off. "Sir! We have a dock for a reason!"
"Yeah, yeah but I enjoy the water," Christian chuckled to himself as he finally exited the water near the docks and held his had out to Wadsworth to shake vigorously. "Beautiful place you have here, I might need to add to my tours. People love this type of ambiance."
"Well I would love to work with you on that but for now," Wadsworth started as he shook the mans hand, handed him his packet and key and began to explain things like he had to Clementine. Christian was half listening to the man, his eyes falling over Clem and giving her a wide grin, flashing his teeth and giving her a bit of a wink. Once Wadsworth was finished Christian just waved him off and trudged through the sands and flopped down next to Clem.
He was only the second to arrive but things were already looking like this could be a wonderful experience. The place was beautiful and as he sat there, the sand sticking to his drenched lower half he flopped back and looked up at the blue sky. He had always loved traveling and taking on new adventures. Looking at his packet he pulled out the list of people that were paired up and glanced over it. Each one had a name but there was no picture. "What a shame," he thought to himself. He figured that was to force people to talk to each other instead of just looking for the face that was next to their.
Folding the papers back up he shoved them into his worn out back pack and looked over to Clem, holding his hand out to her. "Hey Lass, names Christian, you would happen to be Ms. Hale would you?"
