who: a npc named jonny && the people of the malnati
where: the malnati hotel’s bar, sometime after the sun goes down
what: an interactive way for your character(s) to spill tea about what’s happening at the hotel && their thoughts or opinions about certain people && things
as an alternate to a gossip blog or confessions blog, our little malnati chats will happen every week on a wednesday night. the bar will open up && your characters can come in && talk about anything they need to get off their chest. how it’s going to work is that you’ll send an ask in character about what your character would like to have from the bar && something they have on their mind such as something they saw at the hotel, who they’ve been hooking up with, or anything else they’d like to share with jonny. once we get your ask, jonny will serve your character whatever your character asked for && say his own thoughts on what your character shared with him. if you have more than one muse, all you have to do is specify what muse you’re wanting jonny to talk to. this is a space to get personal && have your character share whatever they have on their mind. when we start malnati chats, we’ll send out a post on this blog && that’s when your characters will be able to share whatever they need to.
threads listed as ‘private’ and text messages are not game for the malnati chats unless it’s coming from your own character that is involved in the threads or texts. with that in mind, we’ll allow public threads, social media posts and whatnot to be fair game to be talked about by others, and any meme monday answers your character gives can also be used for the malnati chats.
along with that, never send anything that’s considered to be too harsh against any character. this is suppose to be an added fun thing to the media blog, so anything that we consider to be too mean or rude will be deleted. we’re sure we’ll never run into that problem since most of the asks we expect to get will be off anon, but we just wanted to give you all a heads up. we’d love for your characters to stir the pot && spread some rumors with jonny, but it’s meant to be something that keeps the group interesting && lighthearted. the most important thing to keep in mind is tha you guys are responsible for what jonny hears. as admins, we may throw a little in here && there with jonny, but we can’t know everything that happens on the dash which is why having your characters talk about what’s happening in their lives is the perfect way to keep everyone in the loop. so please keep that in mind. if you have any other questions regarding our new malnati chats, let us know !! we’re looking forward to see how you guys enjoy this new game && the character development that’s bound to happen.

"Can I get a Jack and coke? And maybe a little bit of advice? I don't know if you've got kids or not, but how do you think people know when they're ready to be parents? And I mean, I know nobody's ever really ready and no time is going to be the perfect time, but is there some sort of feeling you're supposed to get or somethin'?"
— yeah, i can absolutely grab you a jack && coke. and i’m always here to give you some advice !! wow, that’s a deep question. baby fever hits me a lot, but i always ask myself if i’m ready to give a piece of myself to another person yet. because being a parent is a full time job && you have to give them all of you. i think you know when you’re ready to be a parent when you’re looking at your future && you can picture little ones running around. when you’re at the store, stumbling upon a cute outfit while you’re walking by the baby section && thinking about how cute a child of your own would look in it. when you see families out && about, doing their own thing && wishing you were at that phase in your life. like you said, i don’t think you’re ever ready for kids but i think you know when you’re ready to have a child of your own when you can picture yourself having a family && having it feel so... right.
"The twilight hours are upon us and they pair best with a hot cup of black tea...with whiskey, if you don't mind," Luis said as he took his seat. He offered an unreadable gaze at Jonny briefly before looking down at his clasped hands. "I used to be so much better at building relationships and I envy those like bartenders who can do it so easily, however fleeting. H-how? How do I—I've been seeing ghosts of friendships that I've been craving so often, they've gained the ability to burn into me."
— “a cup of tea with some whiskey in it, i can do that!” jonny remarked as he started to set up the drink the other wanted, eyes taking in the person in front of him. his ears perked up upon hearing the other ponder about friendships and socialization, his features soft and gentle as he listens on. “it’s definitely a skill, i think. i never was like this before,” he explained as he finished up the tea with whiskey and served it to the other. “i think it takes time, really. you learn to adapt to all the people who come in and talk to you, to learn to be able to speak to strangers without fear.” jonny shrugged, never really thinking about how easy it was for him to effortlessly converse with someone else. “why do you think you’re having a hard time with friendships? do you distance yourself from meeting people or do you have trust issues? i think it can be scary to get close to someone -- the inevitable feeling like they’re going to leave you always lingers in the back of your mind, but if you just let someone in and allow them into your heart, you never know what could happen, you know?”
"Lemme get a rum and coke, please... So uh, I was wondering, and this is gonna sound so stupid, but... What do you recommend for a four month anniversary present? Is that even a thing? I just want my boyfriend to know he's appreciated and loved so damn much..."
— you got it !! rum && coke must be a favorite since this is the second one i’ve served tonight. hey, that doesn’t sound stupid at all !! it’s endearing, really. who says presents for significant others are only for valentine’s day, yeah ?? it think it depends mostly on what he likes. i know you can never go wrong with a good dinner at a restaurant or maybe a homecooked meal. a playlist is always a great idea, plus it can allow you to show how you feel in music. you could also always make a cute scrapbook of your guys’ relationship, too. you could add pictures you’ve taken of him or ones you’ve taken together. showing a ring too soon might catch him off guard, but i know engraved necklaces are always a hit !! you could add the date you started dating or your guys’ initials. but listen, regardless of what you get him, i can assure you that he’ll probably enjoy whatever you have to give him because he has you.
"Hey man, I'll take a rum and coke and when I say rum I mean it. Say I might have made some bad choices cutting important people out of my life in the past. Do you really think there is a chance I will be able to make it up to them?" (from dante)
— a rum && coke, got it !! good question, that is a good question. were the important people you cut out of your life toxic ?? or were you the toxic person who needed to change ?? it’s fine if you were, considering people can change from their past selves to their present. i definitely think you can make it up to them. i think you should blatantly tell them how you’re feeling && let them know you want to have them back in your life. maybe they won’t let you back into their lives right away, but if you give them effort && really show them that you’re sorry, you might find yourself having a relationship with them again.
