fandomtownies | Caritas, Saturday- Three Minute Dates

Jaye was actually at work, and there early for once, which shocked the hell out of Tino. But see, she got to host tonight, and she was actually excited for it. She'd even brought popcorn to watch. Maybe someone could get slapped in three minutes and the slapper would end up in the pond. When people arrived, there was even a sign on the door.

Caritas Presents
THREE MINUTE DATES
Hosted by Jaye Tyler
Reject People! Speedily!

When everyone had gotten there, Jaye took the stage, mic in hand. "Hey there, so you should all know how this goes by now, as we've had way too many for you to be clueless. Unless you're new. In which case, ha ha, suckers. So, dating sucks, so we get you through the process really really quickly. Now you can find out within three minutes that the person you're talking to is not the one you want to spend even four minutes more with.

"Here's how it goes: I call your name, and someone else's. You get together. You talk for three minutes, get to know each other, and then you'll hear this," she said, pulling an airhorn from behind her back to sound it. "Then I'll call your name with someone else's and you switch. You'll hear this sound," she said, blowing the horn again just because she could, "five times total. Any ques- good. Enjoy!"

[Three minutes = ten comments, which means each person gets five comments in a thread. You don't have to do these chronologically, but try not to Joss yourself. Slowplay is totally fine omg.

~~Also wait for OCD becauase if you interrupt me I WILL come over there.~~ Ready! Set! Go kill my inbox!]

Three-minutes dates. Hm. This could be interesting.

Dick hadn't been expecting his name to be called. He hadn't signed up as far as he knew. But he wasn't going to let anyone spend three minutes alone on his account. He cared too much about people in general to let that happen. He hurried over from where he had been sitting at the bar.

"Hi," Dick said, taking his seat. "Sorry I'm late. I hope a two minute and fifty-five second date's okay with you."

Amber smiled. "A two minute now forty-eight second date is perfectly fine with me," she joked.

"Glad to hear that," Dick said. "I'm just warning you, I haven't done a thing like this before, so I'm not sure how good of an impression I'm going to make. I usually don't get really charming until four or five minutes into a date, so you may not get my 'A' material."

"Is that right? Well, as long as you don't make me slap you, I think we'll be fine," Amber told him. "You seem nice enough to me and at least you're honest."

"Well, honesty is everything, isn't it?" asked the guy who had secrets he wasn't going to share with anyone. And yet he still meant it (with conditions). "If you can't trust someone, then what's the point in being with them? It's only going to cause pain later on."

Amber smiled. "You're a real catch, Dick." And wow, what he said kind of hit home with Cal. "Nice to know there are guys out there who feel that way. Most guys I know just want to get laid so will tell you anything they think you want to hear."

"Thanks," Dick said with a grin. "And don't get me wrong, the whole 'getting laid' thing is something I hope for and work towards in a relationship, but it's not the only thing I'm looking for."

"Oh, me too," she said quickly. "I've never done it so yah, I'm kind of lookin' forward to it. Just not like 'hi, how are ya, ready to screw?'," she laughed. "Ma always said if I take my shirt off, just make sure I get paid for it. I think the circumstances then were different, however."

Amber pretty much always said what was on her mind. She totally blamed her ma.

Well, that wasn't something Dick was expecting to hear. "Your mother sounds like a very aggressive businesswoman." He wanted to ask how the circumstances were different, but time was just about up and he didn't want to end on that. "Well, this has been a lot of fun. Thanks for starting my night off well."

Amber snorted. Aggressive businesswoman. Ma'd love to hear that. "Thanks. I hope the rest of your dates go well for you."
