INTRODUCING YOUR BACHELORETTE!
KATELYN, THE BACHELORETTEBenedict Tucker waited until he was literally standing outside of the conference room door to button up his white uniform and smooth down the front. It was still wrinkled and ill fitting (he’d chosen a size too large on purpose). At least he didn’t have to wear his helmet. He couldn’t even remember the last time he’d donned it; for the last year or so, after he’d been promoted, he’d mostly been dealing with Peacekeeper movements and strategy. High level stuff. He should have been very proud.
But mostly meetings were boring, and he was positive this one would be no exception.
“The Capitol has been leading up to this event for decades. Just think about it. All of these eligible young victors, each one more fair than the last,” the woman in front of the projector was saying when Benedict walked in. He leaned against the back wall, watching her flip through her presentation. The images glowed in the dim lighting: Saffron in a field of flowers, Patricia brooding in a library, Katelyn against a wheat field. Benedict swallowed a yawn just as the lights came up.
“And that is why we have decided to kick off the first season of… The Capitol Bachelorette!”
The room erupted in cheers. A bureaucrat slapped Dick on the back before he realized who he’d hit in his jubilation.
“Pardon me?” Benedict asked once, just bellow the din. “HEY!” He bellowed, bringing the room to silence. “Why am I even here if all you want is a pageant show?”
“Oh, Captain Tucker, it’s just so much more than that. And we’re going need plenty of security this week, not just for our Bachelorette, but also her suitors.”
“You want to kick this off now!? Who’s the lucky girl?”
“Why… Katelyn Persimmon of course.”
Katelyn Persimmon, 21, is a country girl from the outreaches of District Eleven. She loves to bake and take care of her garden. But that doesn’t mean she’s ordinary. Anything but! Unless you’ve been living under a rock you’ll know that on top of being a victor, she’s a successful mentor too! Despite having no siblings of her own, Katelyn has found an adopted family with fellow victors Kirito Miristioma and Harbinger Rhodes. Now, it’s time for her to find a husband!
If you have a Capitolite, or would like to make a Capitolite, we will be accepting 7 participants (possibly more if more apply before the deadline). This will run quite like the Bachelorette does, with group dates and one on ones, based on Katelyn’s preferences. Think you have what it takes to woo our girl? Of course, the winner can always opt not to propose… or even to take a prize instead of our victor!
Fill out the form below! Please keep in mind that this will be a multi-thread commitment over the next two(ish) months. Please also know that this is a member run shindig, e.g. what Rade says goes. The aforementioned prize is an IC one, but we'll make it worth your time, promise!
