✦ MINGLE 002. ✦ kill, kill, fall in love!
It's time to grind, Sinfluencers! In the early afternoon hours, all Sinfluencers recieve a notification gently informing them that they are needed — very much needed. Should they follow the siren call, they'll be invited down to a studio of sorts with the SIN HQ and greeted by some oddly relieved PAs who inform them of the night's events.The choice is yours: contestant or audience member. Contestants get all sorts of perks, like connections, free mechandise, and a shot at finding love! Audience members get to enjoy the chaos from the (relative) safety and (relative) security of the front row, but they're welcome to join in later should they feel so enticed. This show can never have enough contestants.
In true Dethklok fashion, Nathan and Toki have decided to focus on the big picture, leaving the minor details like wardrobe and makeup to those better suited to handle it — their wonderful volunteers. They appreciate each and every one of you. You'll all get a signed t-shirt after the show.
Since this whole ordeal is brutal, and gruesome, and devastating, contestants are expected to dress the part. Acceptable attire includes but is not limited to: ripped jeans, shoulder spikes, metal ornaments, guns, leather, tattoos, piercings, blood splatters, bleach holes, etc. These hosts want their contestants to look as if they've experienced a nuclear war and lived to tell the tale.Unfortunately, their producers had a different image in mind. They'd love to see a fun, sunny style that invokes an image of the classic gameshow era circa 1972. To help facilitate this, they’re providing folks with soft, flowing dresses, large glasses, flower crowns, pastel colors—anything that might make one thing of old-school television sets.
This is what you're working with: piles of safety pins and piles of daisy petals. Whatever comes of this blending of worlds is going to have to be brutal. A show with a name like Find Love Or Die Trying can't afford to be anything less!
Have fun trying to make this work.
The Curse of Dethklok! Ah, apologies to our contestants and our volunteers alike. We should have probably warned you that Dethklok is an incredibly cursed band. When working with them, any number of strange, horrific accidents may befall someone. Maybe that's why everyone is so eager for new players...
Fortunately, Nathan and Toki have been afforded some really, really good interns! Thanks to their hard work knocking away tumbling clothing racks, and smacking flying eyeliner pens from mid-air, no one should be hurt during the preparation stages! Be sure to thank your hard-working human shields!
Before going on stage, most everyone is going to have to get approval from Toki and Nathan. They can't have scrubs representing their brand! If your outfit isn't up to their standard, then it's back to the dressing room with you.
✦ That chirping notification will go away... eventually. If your character isn't interested in coming down to see the event for themselves, they might need to stick their SINapse in the freezer for a while as they wait it out.
The configuration of the stage changes depending on which mini-game is in play. Nathan and Toki are both wearing their spiky, scary uniforms, and they ask questions to their guests with varying degrees of interest.Yes, this was partially their idea, and, yes, they're enjoying themselves, but they can't look like they're having too much fun.
Where's the brutality in that?
💰 WHO WANTS TO BE A KRILLIONAIRE?
In this brutal spin on classic game show television, contestants are given the chance to answer trivia questions about one another! Five rounds featuring three lifelines for each contestant to use along the way. After each correct answer, the contestants switch off. 
It's a great ice breaker! The more you know!
Lifelines include: Phone a Friend (the threadhopping option), 50/50 (the option where two incorrect options are removed from the board), and Forfeit (for when you're really stumped). These lifelines can only be used once, so be careful!
How the production team managed to get these questions is... classified [and entirely up to player]. These trivia questions can be as silly or as personal as you'd like!
The Curse of Dethklok! Once again, we have to apologize for any mayhem and mishaps that may occur during the playing of your game! During an otherwise normal game of Who Wants to Be a Krillionaire, players should beware of falling lights, set pieces bursting into flames, spikes falling from the ceiling... none of which is cause for concern!
So long as you duck in time.
After ten rounds (five questions between two paired-off characters), the team with the most correct answers will win! What will they be winning?
How does a Dethklok baseball cap sound? A Dethklok bandana? A Dethklok t-shirt..?
🔥 MATCH(ES) GAME
Here's another fun one: The Match(es) Game! Characters are given a whiteboard, a marker, and an open-ended or fill-in-the-blank question. To win the round, their answers must match those of their date! Why? Because everyone knows that partners have to agree on everything all the time. How can love blossom if one person like chocolate ice cream and the other loves vanilla? Clearly, this was never meant to be!
Questions are a mix of hosts' picks and audience suggestions. Here are a few to get you started:
Once the question is presented, contestants get thirty seconds to jot down their answers. Each match earns the couple a point!📝 WRITE...
Your favorite movie Your ideal first date The best snack flavor Your definition of love How many dates it takes to put out Your weapon of choice Your biggest fear What turns you on the most How you feel about suddenly being famous Thoughts on baths 🎨 DRAW...
What your ideal pet looks like What you'd wear on a third date The perfect dick size The perfect boob size A nice plate of good food Your biggest turn off A self portrait What makes you happy What a hot person looks like to you 🤔 CHOOSE...
Summers or winters? City life or county life? Getting head or giving head? Balloon animals or stuffed animals? Big party or small gathering? Ninjas or pirates? Cats or dogs? A walk on the beach or a cabin in the woods? Fit in or stand out?
The Curse of Dethklok! While partners are hard at work deciding on their answers, there's a chance for the screen to glitch out, causing the question to change sporadically. It's not so bad, really! Saying your favorite food is smelly feet, or your biggest turn on is the sound of a duck's quack is actually fine! It makes the audience chuckle, and it's sure to be gif'd to Hell and back.
Think of the views!
This game can go on indefinietly, or at least until the hosts grow bored with the outcome and want to try something else. Until then, try to get as many points as you can!
🧳 SHOW US YOUR BAGGAGE!
Secrets? Did someone say something about secrets? No? Well, it doesn't really matter. Everyone's got a secret, and no strong relationship can be built with secrets mixed into its foundation.
To ensure all of our happy, healthy couples are starting off on the right foot, don't you think it's best to get those pesky secrets out into the open straight away? Our producers sure do! That's why we're bringing you a segment here on the show that we like to call... Show Us Your Baggage!
Each of our wonderful contestants has been given three (3) spiky-looking suitcases of varying size. The smallest suitcase holds a small secret. The largest suitcase holds a large secret! The contestant must open their suitcases for their date, the audience, and the world to see. Will their baggage be accepted? Or will they be sent packing to the losers corner?
How these secrets were acquired is anyone's guess. Toki and Nathan sure didn't hunt them down themselves — that's way too much work, and they have bigger things to worry about. Chances are a certain sheep did the heavy lifting on their behalf, and we're forever grateful for it.
Secrets can relate to things that've occurred here within the Sinfluencers' HQ, or they can be secrets from back home. They can be simple and mildly embarrassing, or full-on career ending.
The Curse of Dethklok! How do these mix-ups keep happening? For an unfortunate handful of people, there's a chance that their suitcases have gotten switched out with some other poor contestant's! Once you've opened a case admitting that you have a thing for gravy, there's no way to put that toothpaste back in the tube.
Understand that Nathan and Toki are very sorry for the discomfort this may have caused. They are learning and growing each day. Please accept a Dethklok bumper sticker for your troubles.
Those willing to accept all of their partners' baggage are winners! What are they winning this time? A Dethklok mug? No?
Well, that's all we got, so take it or leave it.
✦ Assume Nathan and/or Toki will be reading the questions aloud for the audience. Depending on how interesting they are, they might even add commentary or ask follow up questions if you want them to!
✦ Wins and losses aren't being monitored on an OOC level. This is all for fun!
✦ When it comes to the Match(es) Game and Show Us Your Baggage, there's really nothing stopping characters from lying their way through it. Feel free to save face.

Between the two halves of the show, your wonderous hosts will perform for you! Isn't that lovely? This is the sweetest, most romantic song their catalog has to offer. Can't you just feel yourselves being taken in by the love in the air?
Now sure would be a good time for a flamethrower... Oh, well. Pyrotechnics will have to cover it. Let's hope no technical mishap causes a poor intern to burst into flames.
✦ No notes!
✦ Please enjoy the music and headbang along.
✦ Since this is a bit of scheduled in downtime, characters are free to do whatever! They can catch their breath, grab a snack, or maybe get pulled in for a few confessionals.

As fun as this has all been, it's about time things got really brutal around here. These hosts are itching for it. They can't have unlimited money at their disposal and not use it for mischief and mayhem, especially not when their show is being broadcast to, what, the entire galaxy?
They absolutely, positively need to make sure things get cranked to eleven before things wrap up.
As such, all couples who've found themselves on the losing side of any romantic challenge is being sentenced to death!
Game show death, that is.
🌴 ESCAPE THE JUNGLE
So, you lost your segment on Who Wants to be a Krillionaire? Normally, that'd be fine, but this show needs ratings! And it needs brutality! For your transgressions [of not knowing when your date lost their first tooth], you and your new date have hence been sentenced to life in the wilderness! After all, Nathan read online somewhere that traumabonding is great way to forge loving connections.
In a dark and mysterious jungle, couples must work together to survive. For added excitement, the two mind even find themselves handcuffed together, forced to fend for themselves in an alien jungle filled with strange, unfamiliar creatures. Some of them could be deadly! Some of them could be... tasty? Let's hope production is feeling friendly and decides to throw you a bone [or a steak] when you start getting hungry.
We've all seen Survivor. We know how this goes. Be sure to get lots of shots shivering in the cold, eating mysterious foods, and huddling together beneath piles of leaves. Complaining confessionals are a plus.
The Curse of Dethklok! When building the set for this segment, neither our hosts nor their production team looked too closely at what they were grabbing at. As such, there's a chance for some of the alien flora and fauna to have... special effects.
If you've ever wanted your character to get aphro'd by alien sex pollen on intergalactic television, now's your chance!
To find their way off of this set, teams will have to work together and work hard. If they make it out alive, they'll be rewarded with a puzzled look from their favorite host, Nathan Explosion:
"Didn't know you guys were still out there. Production wrapped days ago.
Well, uh, good work, or whatever. I guess.
You... want a Dethklok melon baller?"
🪤 ESCAPE THE DETHTRAPS
If you were wondering where all the budget went to, here's your answer. For all of our horror movie fans out there, think of this like a scene from Saw. Blades, spikes, strange medical devices, anything that gives an ominous energy can be found here. One date is strapped to a bed, or tied up in chains, or locked inside some horrific looking contraption. The other must do their best to save their partner. They don't want their partner to die, do they?
"Then you don't gotta pay for dinner!"Host jokes aside, we want to see tears! We want to see fear! We want to see last-minute confessions before the lights go out!
"Heyo!"
Fortunately for everyone involved [except for those really gruesome few who were really hoping to see someone lose their head], no one can get hurt here. Not even the Curse of Dethklok can cause these traps to inflict real harm. It's all movie magic! But it might've helped for our contestants to know that ahead of time... whoops!
The Curse of Dethklok! Rather than making things go horribly wrong, it's possible for things to be almost too easy. Should things get difficult, unlocking mechanisms may reveal themselves, and puzzle pieces fall into place, all with little effort on the part of the savior. Why? Because not even an ancient, brutal death metal curse wants to see love ripped apart.
Don't say this curse never did anything for you.
On the off-chance that time runs out before anyone gets saved, the buzzer will buzzer, the lights will cut out, and the productions will call cut. That's a wrap! Friendly PAs will escort the two of you off set to make room for the next event.
Per the waivers signed at entry, neither Dethklok nor it's production team is responsible for therapy bills following this phony near-death experience.
📆 ESCAPE THE DATE
The darkest, most brutal punishment possible. Some shudder to even consider it. For a select few, their last event of the evening is... surviving a first date. Hey, don't look at us! This wasn't our idea! Not even we could be so cruel.
First dates are the bad for lots of reasons [knees weak, palms sweaty, etc], but on this game show, they can be far more brutal.
🙈 LOVE IS BLIND
You and a new partner, a fellow loser from the losers' circle, are now on a blind date! And we do mean blind. Both parties are wearing blindfolds, rendered entirely unsure of what the other looks like. Through this, they must get to know one other, chat, make small-talk, and do all the other first date things at our off-set restaurant, The Guts and Glory.
At the end, each contestant decides if they'd like to go on a blind second date [a win], or remove their blindfolds and call it a night [a loss].🥵 TOO HOT TO HANDLE
Perhaps the complete opposite of the previous option. Partners are sent off on their first date with a rousing dose of aphrodisiac flowing through their systems and told not to touch one another.
How is that fair? How are you supposed to focus on your salad when you're more horny than a dragon in heat? We warned you these dates were tough!
Getting through the date successfully is a win! Touching of any kind counts as a loss, but does it really matter at that point? Maybe tearing the clothes off your date is the real prize.😳 NAKED ATTRACTION
One final option to rule them all. On this date, contestants start off, well, naked. Partners and audiences alike are treated to a long, lingering shot of each date in all their full glory prior to being set off on their evening together.
Maybe it's not so bad. A date where you're both sitting at a table might not be too awkward, but this is Find Love or Die Trying, so we want to see some awkward.
Dates in this section include: rock-climbing, a night out at the bar, a stroll through the park, anything that would make being fully exposed that much worse.
If the two of your survive being naked about town, congrats! Maybe you were meant for each other all along.
✦ No one should be dying during game show death! It's just a buzzword! Nathan and Toki can't afford to have someone die on premiere night!
Welcome to our game show event! And thanks so much to our lovely mod for letting us run this as the welcome event for new characters!! We had so much fun putting this together, so we really hope everyone has fun playing around with these zany games! c:
Those who join in get a gacha pull, a Sinscription tier point, and a silver-tier custom prize!! Sheep Mod has been so generous in helping us with this, so thanks again!
Lovely promotional art created by our friend, Papabigtoes!
EVENT MECHANIC: CONFESSIONALS
Keeping with the theme of trashy reality shows, we wanted to add a fun way for audience members to interact with game show contestants: CONFESSIONALS!
Between events, characters run the risk of getting whisked away into a booth and asked to spill their feelings to a camera, a producer, and the world at large. Those watching at home can then send in thoughts, ask questions, and/or send Thirst Tweets for their favorite contestant to react to live!
For characters who might be less willing to spill their guts on live TV, maybe they need a sip of truth serum in the form of apple juice before settling down before the cameras. Hey, we need all the juicy drama we can get!
As always, players are encouraged to interact with each other as their characters or as NPC fans when responding to confessionals!
We want this to be fun and playful in nature, so keep it friendly and don't send serious hate (unless previously discussed). Anyone seen breaking this rule will be reported to the mods.

All our last contestants quit. Or died. I dunno. But then we got new ones, so that's pretty good. Maybe they'll last more than two challenges this time. That could be good.
I'd be impressed with that.
