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]

Moving into the home stretch, Barney was feeling good despite anything that may have happened earlier. Each date was like a new day, even if they were timed and rather short. He took a seat at the table and awaited his fourth date.

"Oh, am I glad to see you," Vala said, flopping into a chair across from Barney. "At least I know what to expect."

"You met any interesting freaks?" Barney sipped his drink. "I scored a date."

"I met someone who had a religious objection to dating," she said, sipping her own drink. "Or that seemed like he did, anyway. Who are you going out with?"

"Some blond named Melody," Barney grinned. "She thinks I'm sweet and don't you get any ideas about changing her mind."

"Why do I need to change her mind?" Vala laughed and sprawled back in her chair, confident in her ability to date Barney for at least a little while if she wanted him. "She'll learn in her own time, or she won't."

"That's right," Barney grinned. "If my assessment of her dumb blondedom is correct, she'll learn long after I've left."

"What's the appeal of the dumb ones?" She asked, purely out of curiosity.

"Mhmm! Now that's a good question!" He gulped his drink hastily before leaning over the table. "They make for easy targets with zero attachments."

Re: Round 4 - Barney Stinson / Vala Mal Doran

"Don't they get more easily attached?" Vala asked, blithely ignoring the buzzer signaling their time was up. "Since they can't get a true read on the kind of person you are?"

"Who cares as long as I'm free of attachment?" he asked. Because really, this was all about him.

"Riiiight," she rolled her eyes. "I'll see you at home, when you get there?"

She'd be the one sprawled in front of the television, at the rate this was going.
