Three Minute Dates - Caritas - Saturday night

A sign was posted at the front door:
G.O.B. Bluth Presents:
The Tenth Anniversary Edition of
Three Minute Dates at Caritas

hosted by A Matchmaker Named G.O.B.


Just before 6:00, the lights went dark and a sole zombie walked out onto the stage and sat down at a piano. The zombie then started playing The Final Countdown, followed by the other zombies, all with violins to join in. And then GOB walked out onto the stage, holding and petting a lovebird. He then released the bird, which flew up toward the ceiling before somehow getting stuck in an air duct.

As GOB went into his spiel about how 3MD was a Fandom institution that he started and how he had brought so much love to Fandom with it and that the tenth annual (he still hadn't figured that part out) edition demanded the respect that a piano and not doing magic ("Unless any of the legal ladies out there want to see me make another lovebird appear," and yes, he was talking about his penis).

Meanwhile, the lovebird was still stuck in the air duct. As air rushed past the bird and into the lounge, some strange pheromones released by the bird were thrown back at the stage, where it reacted with the already strange combination of zombie smell and cologne used to hide the zombie smell on such a classy occasion, somehow generating a powerful love potion that would be making its way into the lounge, affecting people at random for three minutes at a time. Bizarrely, that was exactly how long each of the dates tonight would be.

Sometimes Fandom worked in mysterious ways. Mysteriously sexy ways.

"I call your names, you meet up with each other, talk for three minutes, and then you'll hear the sound of a zombie smashing his hands against a bunch of piano keys. Go ahead and do it," GOB said. The zombie started smashing the keys randomly. One of the other zombies joined in because a band was all about teamwork. "And that's how we start!"

[OOC: Lots of OCD coming IS UP. RANDOMLY ASSIGNED LOVE POTION IS MARKED IN THREAD TITLES WITH ONE OF THESE "*" AFTER THE AFFECTED PERSON'S NAME! For example: "Nick* / 3MD Participants" means that I will spend the next three minutes loving everyone who signed up. But not in a dirty way because that would be exhausting and I have a sister among the participants and eww.

Remember that you can also choose to be affected by love potion in any round(s) at your discretion. Also, the love potion can only affect people in the lounge during the dates. People at the bar and on the stage will not be affected. People who are affected will just be incredibly drawn to their date, flirt harder, maybe go for some physical contact more quickly, but they shouldn't necessarily go straight for making out. Unless you choose to have them go for it. The upper limit is player's choice.

As I'm going along, if I made an obvious mistake, like skipping a character completely for a round or posting a pairing twice, feel free to grab me on AIM or in the OOC thread and I'll make a quick fix. And remember, attacks on your dates will get you teleported elsewhere on the island.

Also remember that most playing should happen on Saturday, but if you need to finish a thread or two on Sunday, that's fine.

GO FORTH AND PLAY!]

Ah. Jaina Solo. From Coruscant. K looked forward to picking up a bit more information from his visit with her the otherday.

"You again," Jaina greeted him. "Who brought me cabbage."

"Cabbage. Really," he deadpanned. "Now who would send you such a thing?"

"No idea. And no one I've contacted from home seems to know anything about it," she said, raising her eyebrows like she expected him to tell her it was a joke.

"Clearly your friends back home have a strange sense of humor," K replied evenly. "Or at least an overabundence of cabbage."

"It could be possible that I spent five minutes filling out paperwork for someone else," she suggested, curious as to the reaction.

This was so far her weirdest date ever, and she'd been on one of these with Farnsworth.

"Miss, are you saying that there is something underhanded and sneaky about the United States Postal Service?" K asked with a deadpan tone. "I'll have you know that the shipping of produce violates several regulations. The transfer of such materials is a hazard and punishable of a fine up to fifteen dollars."

"No, I'm saying that there could have been a mistake," she said, casually. "Though it's interesting that you jumped to 'underhanded and sneaky.' That hadn't been on my mind at all until you brought it up."

"Interesting? Well now that you mention it..." K began only to be interrupted by the smashing of a keyboard by a zombie. "Well, darn it. It looks like our time is up. It's been a pleasure Ms. Solo."
