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]

Barney was positively gleeful. "You were a pussycat? I loved that band!" He had no clue. "I was bummed that there was no follow up album."

"Well, I feel I have something to give, you know? And Fandom was just the place to reach a really diverse population."

"Oh my god, really? Usually no one has heard of us," Melody said, bouncing. "Did you get to see our tour?"

Leaning forward confidentially, she added, "There will be a follow-up, as soon as Josie's record is out and everything. I'll make sure you get a copy. I'm already writing songs."

Which would never make the album, but writing them made Mel happy anyhow.

"I missed it because my grandmother was in the hospital," Barney complained. "But maybe we could get together and you could play me something." Naked. Hey, a guy could dream.

"Oh, I'm sorry about your grandmother," Melody said. "And totally. Hey, we're having a luau at the house tomorrow night, wanna come? 33 Apocalypse Avenue." Melody had almost forgotten she was supposed to be hosting a party, but if Barney wanted to hang out...

"Consider me there," he grinned, glad he'd managed the first round. "Seems it's time for us to move on, but I could sit here and talk with you all day, Melody."

"Same here!" Melody said. "See you tomorrow, Barney."
