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!]

Hoshi figured that she might as well cover as much ground as possible in three minutes. "Hi there. I'm Hoshi Sato, junior, originally from the mid-22nd century but somehow living in 2008," she said as she got to Geoffrey.

Geoffrey figured he might as well cover the most important bits.

"Geoffrey Tennant. Do you like Shakespeare?"

"I do, actually. This might be surprising, but Shakespeare is actually more popular in the future than he is now," replied Hoshi.

"You're the guy who runs The Boards, right? I caught your play last week. I had no idea Shakespeare wrote stuff like that."

"It's one of his earliest, if not the earliest tragedy, so perhaps he was still honing his craft."

He smiled a little.

"I'm glad to see that in the future, art is not forgotten."

"Oh, art is definitely not forgotten. I come from a family of artists, actually," said Hoshi. "In the future that I come from, the economy has evolved to the point that we no longer use money. It's perfectly okay to devote time to artistic works without fear of going hungry. I'm not entirely sure that it's the same future as this world, though."

"Oh?"

Now he looked interested.

"What kind of art? And do you think you'd be interested in trying out for the next play, perhaps?"

"My uncle paints, and my mother was hoping that I would be a piano prodigy, but I wasn't really interested in the piano," said Hoshi.

"Actually, I almost tried out for the last play. This time, I've got a friend who'll go with me to try out, in case I get too nervous," she added.

He grinned.

"I'm glad to hear it. We'll be doing 'Much Ado About Nothing' this time around, something a little lighter."

"Then you'll probably see me at the auditions," said Hoshi, smiling.

The horn blared.

"I certainly hope so. Good luck on your other 'dates', Hoshi."
