So I have decided to do something fun for all the kids at the community center, so I was thinking a weekend trip to Cedar Point! But I need volunteers. So who wants to help me with a bunch of teens go to an amusement park? In other news my mom told me the Founders Day Ball is coming up which I completely forgot about… am I the only one who didn’t think they still did that here?

[mocvictor]

When is this trip and how many kids are you taking?

Hopefully it’s not. I mean, you’re still getting married after all. Nah. We haven’t set a date yet.

Well, best of luck man. I know this isn’t easy, but hopefully, everything works out for you.

God, if only we knew why our parents did this whole thing. I mean, I do, but I recognize most people don’t. It’s insane. 

I don’t think there is any reason my parents can give me about why they signed me up for this, that I would agree with. Do you want to share why your parents wanted you to be in the lottery?

[mocvictor]

heiressmercyjones​:

I agree it should be. But at least you talking! Thats a huge first step. I am! I am going for the week of the fourth of July. Would you help?

What would you need me to help with? Running a booth or something? or just helping to set up?

Rachel thought back to who she was in high school. Had she changed? She’d like to think she had matured at least in the slightest bit. “That’s a good question. I don’t know if I have or not.” 

“Well, if you do a little self-reflection and find out that you did, it’s not a bad thing. Change is good. Embrace them.”

“I guess I need to make some running buddies huh?” She said with a nod. She frowned. “Ah so I know the two couples. I can’t really give you any advice, we are all in the same boat, well not you anymore because you were chosen, but that could be me in a few weeks. But I think that is the first step. Thats what I would do. Get to know someone, put everything out there and up front so that  we were both on the same page.” She upped her speed. “I am sure once you do that, things might just work out.”

Victor shrugged. He wasn’t as optimistic as Katherine seemed to be. “Is it wrong that I’m starting to doubt this whole process? Before I was a bit optimistic thinking that everything may be fine, but now I’m not so sure. It’s more difficult forming a connection with someone you’re expecting to marry in a few weeks.” He matched her speed. “Anyway, You’re pretty good with the treadmill. Are you secretly a gym buff?”

xoqfabs​:

Do you honestly think sitting down with someone who is pretty much a complete stranger to plan a wedding in basically two months is ever not going to feel awkward? So how do you propose pushing through that?

It probably won’t, but if you have a better idea I’m all ears. No matter what we do, it’s going to be awkward. We can either let it or just try to look past it. The only way to not be complete strangers, but if you don’t want to do the whole sit down or wedding thing, we can also just go down to city hall and call it day. But whatever we decide, we need to do it quickly.

[mocvictor]

mxrileywilde​:

I appreciate that. You, too. Especially you, I think, since the game’s already begun on your end.

Yea, it has. And I thought it would make the anxiousness go away, but I’m still nervous about everything. I don’t know what my parents were thinking when signing up for this lottery thing.

[mocvictor]

spchudson​:

Yeah, I kind of lucked up in that aspect. That sounds like a good idea, honestly. If ours wasn’t already planned, I would have suggested it.

I just hope that isn’t against the rules or anything. Did you guys set a date yet?

[mocvictor]

xoqfabs​:

I can’t exactly predict the future so I’m not entirely sure.

Dinner this weekend works for me and I’m fine with keeping it casual. Does Saturday at 6 work for you? I can do earlier or later if that time doesn’t work for you.

Saturday at 6 is fine. I’m flexible. I just want to talk and get this wedding started and get to know you and all that jazz. I won’t pretend that this is awkward, but we can find a way to push through the awkwardness.

[mocvictor]

rachelfromthehouseberry​:

Rachel scoffed. “Yeah. I know her a little too well.” She looked to the side for a beat. “Well.. I knew the old her. We haven’t really talked much since high school.”

Victor nodded his head. “Do people change that much from high school though? Have you changed much?”

[mocvictor]

heiressmercyjones​:

Yeah Quinn is. I am looking to be happy, whether is love out of this or love after the fact. Have you guys talked yet?

Happiness should be non-negotiable. We’ve talked a bit. It’s still too early to tell anything though. So I heard that you were working on a carnival. Any time frame as to when it would up and running?

[mocvictor]

victoriasmythc​:

I don’t know, if we’re being honest. Maybe in-between? I’ve never really wanted a huge, all out type of wedding. Just one with family and friends. I’d like to think we’d date and get to know each other first. I don’t think I’d be able to go through with it otherwise.

Dating and getting to know each other before getting married is important. Otherwise, it just is more awkward. Anyway, enough wedding talk. Have you done anything exciting these last couple of weeks?

[mocvictor]

supercooper​:

What’s the use in being nervous about the inevitable? All you can do is put your best foot forward and make the best of every situation. That’s a good quote to give my fans, “put your best foot forward and make the best of every situation.” I give great advice.

Now that I have been picked, it isn’t as nerve-wracking as I originally thought. Fans? Do they come to ask you for advice often?

[mocvictor]

socialite-kathummel​:

Kat began walking at a fast pace. “Yeah I am too much of a scaredy cat to go running in the dark. That is how horror stories begin.” She laughed. “I don’t come often, but I figure there are worse habits to have besides running.” Increasing the speed she began a light jog. “So what’s on your mind? If I can ask.”

“Well, if you decide to go running in the dark, it doesn’t hurt to have a friend to run with you. That way it’s much safer. “ He increased his speed to a jog to match hers. “Well, this whole wedding. I got picked in the lottery and supposed to get married in a few months, and I honestly don’t know how to go about getting to know Quinn, and making this bearable for both of us.” He didn’t mean to unload on her, but he didn’t really have anyone else to go to. “Anyway, it’s nothing.”

[mocvictor]

socialite-kathummel​:

Kat was restless. She wanted to believe that it was because she was finally out of school and all but everything was becoming a reality for her. Soon whether she liked it or not, she was going to be picked for the Lottery. A part of her wanted to get it over with so she could move on and another part just wanted to run.Or at try to do something new. So heading to the gym seemed like a good idea. Seeing Victor there she smiled softly at him, he was a good guy from what she remembered but they also weren’t talkative friends. But she honestly could see that he was there to work through some things. “Nope, so I figured lets try running.” she laughed,

“Obviously, can’t fault you for that. I normally go actually running, but it’s too late and too dark, so here I am, at my gym.” He looked around at the empty gym and shook his head chuckling. “And to think I was going to have this place be closed by 8. Then where would I be able to go?” He started walking on the treadmill, just to get his pacing together. “Do you come here often?”

[mocvictor]

Now that Victor was matched, the anticipation was gone, but a whole new set of anxiety set in. He didn’t know Quinn very well, and he was nervous to putting on a wedding in a few months. He didn’t really know who to talk to, so when he got like this, he would just run. Running clears his mind, but being that it was basically at 10, Victor didn’t feel up to it. So instead he headed to his gym which was 24 hours, and decided to run on the treadmill. He saw someone approach the Treadmill two spaces away from him. “Couldn’t sleep either huh.” He said as he set his settings. He loved to start slow than increase the longer he ran.
