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!]

"Hello, beautiful lady," Jack said, smiling at his first date. "You have such unusual eyes!"

"Thank you, good sir," Ghanima said, taking a seat as she wondered why (and how) she continued getting signed up for these things. "May I buy you a drink?"

"Of course," Jack said. "I like rum."

Be shocked, Ghanima.

"Is that why those squirrels always have it stocked at the radio station?" she asked, feigning surprise. "I never would have guessed."

"They are quite brilliant for rodents," Jack replied.

"You must provide a wonderful supportive environment for them to continue their education," Ghanima laughed. "You are the pirate in charge, are you not? How do you manage to run a station full of such lively employees?"

"Mostly by ignoring anything that might be questionable until something catches fire," Jack replied. "But I am, while fascinating, not as pretty as you are. Tell me about you."

"Well, I teach up at the school, this semester instructing students on what not to do during a fight," she replied. "I live at the Arms and I've been here...three years now? My goodness."

"You must have arrived when you were but an infant," Jack replied, winking.

"Barely older than the infants I taught, perhaps," she laughed. "And you? I suppose you sprung to life fully formed?"

"I did," Jack declared with not a great deal of attention to the truth. The bell rang. "And anything else you wish to learn must wait until you've dispatched the rest of your suitors."
