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!]

Hank bounced a little in his seat. Dating! He was dating!

"Pleased to meet you Hank, I'm Leda." She stuck out her hand.

Hank reached out and shook her hand eagerly. "How you doin'? Isn't this fun?!?! Real, actual dates!!!"

"It really is." she agreed. She kind of thought of this as more, preliminary stuff before any actual date happened, but there was no way in hell she was gonna rain on Hank's parade. "So, Hank, what do you do for fun?"

"Go adventuring, investigate mysteries, read comic books, that kind of thing," Hank answered. "What do you do?"

"Do you really?" Leda asked with genuine interest. "That sounds really cool." Well the comic books less so, but still cool. "I like riding my motorcycle, listening to music, dancing."

"It IS really cool!!! Hank replied. "Except for the parts where I get kidnapped, or circumcised, or stuff. That kind of sucks!"

...Wait, what had she just said? "OH. MY. JEEPERS!!! You have a MOTORCYCLE?!?!?!?!?"

Circumcised? Ooookay.

"I have a really cool motorcycle." she grinned.

Twice. Don't ask how that works, because Hank doesn't know. And both times were by native tribes in the middle of the jungle, without anesthetic or modern sanitation.

"Does it, like, transform into a robot!?!?" Hank asked. "Or drive up walls? Or burn with a ghostly fire without being consumed?!"

"No to the robot, but I bet I could make do those other things." she said thoughtfully. "I think I'd like to try that."

That was when the buzzer sounded.
