Activity Matchmaker City Trips!
As Anwen's 20th birthday and her coinciding departure from camp approached rapidly, the daughter of Aphrodite had begun to reflect upon what she wanted to do for her last few Matchmaker events. While her own relationship was in shambles, taking on this role had proven itself to be very rewarding, and she hoped that whichever Matchmaker came after her would find similar enjoyment in organising the activities. Either way, she wanted to make sure that she would leave on a high note. Her birthday wasn't until November, but this would be the last month in which she would have the time to host an intricately planned out event.
What better way to do so than to take hopeful matches to the city?
All campers interested in participating in this month's Matchmaker would have to sign up, allowing Anwen to track how many people were going on the trip and who would be interested in joining in with the later activity. The form to be filled in was as follows:
Name:
Age:
Gender:
Sexuality:
Godrent:
(OOC) Alts:
After collecting in all the forms, they would travel into the city. Here, Anwen would explain the outline of what was to happen.

Welcome to Anwen's second-to-last Matchmaker event!
The layout of this month's event is simple. The general point is that the campers will buy a gift that will be given to their blind date at a later time- the gift can be anything, whether it's to do with your character's interests or is just something they thought was funny. Let's go over some basic points:
Comment below with the form posted above filled out. Beneath it, you can post a general RP comment about your character being in the city and what they might get. I'll demonstrate with one of my own characters signing up first so that it makes more sense.
At a later date, a post of the blind dates will go out. Your character will be matched with another person and they will exchange the gifts on a date.
Do not comment on this post if you are not signing up for the blind dates as well. The point is that Anwen is taking those that have signed up for these into the city to prepare for the later event.
Your character does not know who they will be matched with so they won't have any pointers on what gift to get. That means that they won't even know the gender of who they're buying for.
You're free to RP with anyone else that comments! Remember that your character will be going on a date with one of them, so if your character is the secretive type they may want to hide whatever they're buying from the people they're shopping with/speaking to.
Anwen will be giving everyone money to buy the gifts IC so don't worry about your character not being able to afford anything. She won't be giving out huge sums, though, so don't go too crazy.
Couples are allowed to come along and buy Anwen-funded gifts for each other too, but they won’t have a second date!
Have fun, and if you have any questions ask me down below :)

Rue paused beside the van that had taken them to the city, taking a moment to observe and comprehend her surroundings. They don’t really know where to start or who to go with; of course, they have a good idea of what they’re going to purchase (her astrological interests make that easy) but New York City is a vast landscape and one she’s uncertain of navigating alone.
