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!]

Jessica would be happy to be his first! She couldn't promise it would be magical, but she wouldn't bite without asking. Maybe.

"Hi!" she said as she sat down. "I'm Jessica. You're cute."

Tony stared for a moment because she was very pretty. And just called him cute.

"Thank you?" NO, THAT IS NOT HOW YOU RESPOND TO THIS, TONY. BAD.

"So you gonna tell me about yourself so I can decide if I like you?" Jessica said with a wink. "You must go to the school up there."

TELL HER SHE WAS PRETTY, TONY. That was how it worked.

BUT THAT MEANT TALKING ABOUT FEELINGS. FEEEEEELINGS.

Tony cleared his throat and nodded. "I'm a sophomore apparently," he said. "And... I like video games?"

Yeah, that was totally sexy.

"You?"

"I ain't never played video games," Jessica remarked. "My daddy always said they were demon-infested tools of Satan."

That wasn't going to impress the boy, Jessica.

"Not that I believe that," she quickly clarified. "My daddy and mama believed everything was a tool of Satan. I just ain't never had a chance to try one since I left home."

Tony stared so, so much.

"They sound. Um. Interesting. Though, unless Satan is a good programmer, I doubt he made any of the games I play."

"They suck," Jessica said with a dismissive wave. "But maybe you could show me some video games some time so I can see for myself. I got really good reflexes now so I bet I'd be good."

The buzzer sounded at that, causing Tony to frown. "We should! Maybe some old school games."

STUPID BUZZER. Not fair.

"I work here on Friday nights," Jessica said before she had to move on to the next date. "Come in some time and see me some time. I'll even let ya have a drink on the house."

"Totally!" Because a last comment while walking away was totally allowed. And Tony didn't realize she was offering him alcohol.
