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 OCDcoming 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!]

Re: Round 3: George Lass / Tony Stark
She was smiling a lot today. Her face was going to hurt by the end of it. You couldn't actually break your face muscles by smiling too much, could you?
"I'm George," she said, before awkwardly continuing, "which ... you know because that guy said it, already."
Re: Round 3: George Lass / Tony Stark
Waaaaait a minute. Didn't radio say something about his roommate going on a date with someone named George?
Re: Round 3: George Lass / Tony Stark
and her mun was already signed up before the date happened. One date didn't make you exclusive, did it?"Hi," she said. "It's short for Georgia. But no one calls me Georgia. Except Daisy, and I think she just does that to bug me."
Re: Round 3: George Lass / Tony Stark
"Daisy a friend of yours?"
Re: Round 3: George Lass / Tony Stark
"... Kind of?" she said. "More of a ... co-worker who ended up as a roommate that I can't get rid of and hate."
Frenemy?
Re: Round 3: George Lass / Tony Stark
"...that sounds nice." Not really. Girls were just confusing.
Re: Round 3: George Lass / Tony Stark
She didn't have anything against going on dates with aliens. She was just curious about that, right up front.
Re: Round 3: George Lass / Tony Stark
A beat.
"Apparently there are other me's."
Re: Round 3: George Lass / Tony Stark
She tried to imagine multiple George Lasses. They would probably all hate one another.
"This island is so fucking weird."
Re: Round 3: George Lass / Tony Stark
AWKWARD.
Re: Round 3: George Lass / Tony Stark
And that was the cheery sound of a zombie mashing some piano keys.
"Good luck with your dates," she said.
