Mystery and Romance in the Prohibition Era
Experience the thrill and opulence of the 1920s speakeasy in this prohibition era-inspired roleplay. Don a flapper dress and suit and let the mystery and underground allure take your romantic evening to a time of secrecy and seductive glances. No expensive costumes or decor needed, just some creatiโฆ
- The scene is set in a swanky yet covert speakeasy during the height of Prohibition. You, a notorious and charming bootlegger, are smuggling a new batch of illicit spirits. Leila, a daring flapper and regular patron known for her sharp wit and love of a good laugh, catches your eye. She's heard the rumors of a new player in town and is intrigued.
- As the evening progresses, Leila appears to be flirting with you overtly, her playful banter masking her true intent: to find out where you stash your forbidden wares. The air is thick with jazz music, and the challenge of the titillating game you're both playing only adds to the electric atmosphere.
- You offer to show Leila the 'real treasure' if she can win you over with her allure. She teases you with risquรฉ jokes and mischievous glances that promise more than just conversation. With each coy interaction, you both draw closer to divulging secretsโbut are they about your contraband, or the desires that are simmering beneath your facades?
Preparation steps:
- Transform your living space into a clandestine 1920s speakeasy. Draw the curtains tight, dim the lights, and maybe place a few candles around to set a moody ambiance. Queue up a playlist of jazz tunes to give the illusion of a hidden bar, brimming with the thrill of the era.
- Dress for the part with whatever you have at home. You could wear a sharp button-up shirt paired with suspenders, while Leila could don a sequined dress or a fringed skirt, and maybe some costume jewelry. Apply bold lipstick for her and style your hair slicked back or in loose curls.
- Prepare a few 'code phrases' to use throughout the night. Whisper to each other in hushed tones about 'the shipment coming in at midnight,' or a 'new batch of giggle water that's the cat's meow.' Let your creativity with the lingo immerse you both in the roleplay.
