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]

"Huh." Gabriel was not going wish her good luck.

"I can just imagine the church all decked out in flowers," said Mary, having a little bit of a bridezilla moment. "I think yellow roses would be nice, right? Or maybe yellow and lavender. Bright, cheerful colors for a spring wedding."

She was just as likely to flee to Las Vegas and elope, so Gabriel didn't need to worry yet about the bridezilla taking over his church.

Gabriel didn't know that though, so he looked horrified. "And donuts?" was all he managed.

"Donuts? Oh no, we'll have cake!" said Mary. "I'm thinking along the lines of a white wedding cake with 8 or 9 tiers. Gunther did a similar one for my birthday last year."

"Cake?" Well, cake wasn't to bad. "But I have a problem with flowers."

"But you can't have a wedding without flowers!" said Mary, shocked. "George Michael was also interested in having an ice sculpture."

"Ice melts. Symbol of your love?" Gabriel was hoping his fear didn't show.

"More like a convenient way of serving drinks and cold appetizers," said Mary, thinking of some of the creative uses of ice that she'd seen in the "Platinum Weddings" marathon on TV.

"Wow, is our time up already?" she asked, seeing everyone else get up and move to the next round. "I'll stop by the church once we set a date to talk about arrangements."

Gabriel just blinked. Had he just agreed to something? "Can provide dates." He was talking about the edible ones, that were oddly missing from this event.
