[Games] Re: Arcadia's Event Congrats - Sign Ups!
in reply to a message by Arcadia
Partner One
Name: Kathleen Zhou (36)
Career: Prospective realtor / on holidays
Bio: Kathleen was born and raised in New York City by strict mainland Chinese parents. They doted on their only daughter and geared her towards success from a very early age. All throughout her schooling Kathleen aced it, albeit at a heavy cost: she had very little time to develop meaningful social relationships, and even to this day, her closest friends are those she made in middle and high school - she just didn't have time to make new friends, what with all the studying her parents expected her to do. Kathleen had always been obedient, though, and successfully entered law school, just like her parents wanted. A few years later and she had not only passed her bar exam, but been offered partnership in a new, yet promising, law firm. Pressured by her parents, Kathleen accepted... and that was when she stopped having a life of her own outside work. Three months ago everything became too much to bear, and Kathleen hopped on a plane to Bali to get away from it all and get rid of some stress. Little did she know a whole new chapter of her life would begin there!
Partner Two
Name: Tucker Jayden Williams (25)
Career: Yoga instructor
Bio: Born in a small town in Texas, Tucker always knew that football and hunting weren't for him. Even as a child, he abhorred violence, and the only reason he could eat meat or fish was because he hadn't been acquainted with the particular animal in its lifetime. He thought there was beauty in nature and in every living creature. This didn't sit well with his rugged macho dad and deeply conservative, former Miss Alabama mum... which was why Tucker kept as low a profile as he could, and the day after his 18th birthday he hopped on the first bus headed to the big city and never looked back. For a while he worked low-end jobs until he got enough money to travel in southeast Asia for a few months - he wanted to soak in the culture more than anything. A few months became a few years, and despite some brief stints in rural Laos and Cambodia teaching English, Tucker decided he'd like to live somewhere a little less isolated. Two years ago he got a job as a yoga instructor at some fancy-shmancy hotel resort in Bali, and that's where he met Kathleen.
Tucker and Kathleen met during the latter's holidays in Bali, three months ago. She'd always been curious to try yoga and meditation, but doing it back home in NYC had always felt kind of intimidating. Fortunately, Tucker, the yoga instructor, was very friendly and relaxed, and made Kathleen feel at ease right away. They - and the rest of the class - noticed that there seemed to be some chemistry in the air, and began to see each other outside class. They hit it off so well that Kathleen decided to chuck her law partnership out of the window and make Bali her permanent home - well, permanent for the time being! Obviously, everyone back in NYC thinks she's crazy, but Kathleen and Tucker know that they have found their soulmate in the other despite the age difference. Tucker is still teaching yoga at the resort in Kuta, and Kathleen is now pondering diving into real estate.
