fandomtownies | Caritas [Saturday evening] Three Minute Dates!

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]

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

Doom took his seat by Amber, his cape swishing behind him with glee. "Hi! I'm Doom and it's Doom's pleasure to meet you. Are you having fun tonight? Isn't this all just great?"

Well, ma did tell her not to judge a book by its cover. "Hi! I'm Amber Atkins. It's a pleasure to meet you too. And it's been decent so far. Are you enjoyin' yourself?"

"Definitely! The people here are so nice, it just astonishes Doom that Doom hasn't gotten to know them better before now," Doom said. "But Doom is turning over a new leaf starting today! More meeting people, fewer villainous plots! You have pretty eyes."

Doom liked to talk about Doom in the third person. This sort of boggled Amber. But then maybe Doom was just drunk.

She should probably just skip over the villianous plots comment. Really. "Good for you. Meetin' people is always nice. Plots like what? Thank you. I would say the same but I... can't really... see yours," she said, peering closer at him. What was with the mask?

"My face was horrifically scarred this one time when Doom was battling a demon for my mother's soul," Doom explained in an oddly cheerful tone. "Doom must admit to being a bit vain, so I gave myself a new face of my own design. Looking back, Doom desires that it were a bit more smiley and a little less imposing. But enough about Doom, tell Doom a little about you."

He rested his chin in his hands and leaned in, ready to listen intently.

...

...

"Amber is from Mount Rose, Minnesota. A small town where Amber had to flee from since she is bein' stalked by a ravin' psycho with a shotgun who wants to shoot Amber dead. Amber won't let this happen, so Amber is hidin'. Amber also agrees with Doom; a bit more smiley would have been real nice."

"You speak in the third person too?" Doom asked. "What are the odds? We must be a perfect match. And, hey, if you want the shotgun guy taken care of, Doom's armor can't be damaged by conventional weapons. Doom could sit him down, talk over his issues, and see if he might be willing to turn over a new leaf just as Doom did."

"I thought to be nice," Amber said.

"Shotgun guy is a woman and Amber appreciates the offer very much but Doom would have to find shotgun lady first as she's hidin'."

And this was it, right. Their three minutes were up.

"Amber has liked meetin' Doom." And Amber felt really weird. "Amber wouldn't mind talkin' to Doom again sometime." Just maybe not in third person.

"Doom would like that as well," Doom said. "May your final date go well, Amber!"
