Caritas [Saturday evening] Three Minute Dates!

[canadianpopstar.livejournal.com]

Robin still kind of had no idea how she'd wound up doing this, but it was funny and she could laugh and drink and just enjoy her post-Valentine's glow behind the bar while everyone else suffered.

And in the meanwhile, she set out a pretty little sign.

Three Minute Dates @ Caritas
Hosted by Robin Scherbatsky
Presented by loneliness and desperation*
* beer goggles recommended/necessary in some cases

That done, she wandered by to the stage to take the mic. "So, hi. You know how sometimes you're at a bar, and you just don't know how to talk to those pretty people you're eyeing? Or, you know, you want to know what the deal is with that creepy guy in the corner who won't stop staring? Well, tonight, we're taking all that guesswork out of it! Welcome to Three Minute Dates! I'm your hostess and deeply amused bartender, Robin Scherbatsky."

"So here's how it goes -- when I call your name plus someone else's, it'll be time for you to find that other person and either lemon law them or find your way to true love...slash a good one night stand! Or a bad one. It's part of the fun! And then lather, rinse and repeat for four more times, because yes, boys and girls, you're doing this five times."

[OOC: Three minutes equals ten comments for our purposes. That's five comments per person. Try your very best to get it wrapped up in that time. You do NOT have to do these in chronological order. Do them as people are available. Just try not to Joss yourself.

Remember, if you're violent, you'll be teleported out of the club and will have to make your way back. If you can't get through all of your dates today, you can sp, don't worry!

ETA: OCD UP WHOOOOOOOO]

Lucas was starting to feel rather done with this three minute dating thing. He just hoped the last person was pleasant.

Teyla was completely traumatized by this pairing doing her best to give all of her dates an equal chance, so she was still smiling when she greeted Lucas. "Hello. It's nice to meet you," she said.

Lucas was relieved, finally someone he didn't know who was female and hopefully not already in the middle of something with some other guy. "You too, Teyla, is it?," he asked, hoping to pronounce her name correctly. "How're you liking the speed dating thing?"

"Yes, that's right. And I assume you're Lucas." She laughed softly at his question. "It has been just as interesting of an experience as I hoped it would be when I signed up. I am not used to speed being a factor in this sort of activity."

"You can't really get to know someone in three days let alone three minutes," Lucas said. "Speaking of getting to you know, here are some facts about me: I'm a writer, a basketball player, and I'm from this planet."

"I...am not from this planet," Teyla admitted. "But I do enjoy singing, and I have been told that translates well to this world."

"I once read that, 'music has charms to soothe a savage beast, to soften rocks, or bend a knotted oak,'" Lucas told her, quoting the Congreve that had sprung to mind. "Maybe I can convince you to sing something here tonight."

"I do not know if I can be convinced to do that today, with so many people present," Teyla replied. "Are you a poet? You mentioned writing, and that was a very poetic quotation."
