A sign was posted at the front door:
G.O.B. Bluth Presents:
Three Minute Dates at Caritas
hosted by A Matchmaker Named G.O.B.

That's right. It was time for Three Minute Dates once again. Of course, this time it was being pushed back a couple hours ~~because GOB just posted bail in Lexington Park for solicitation last night~~ so it could better help sunlight-adverse residents of Fandom find true love as well. Anyone who came to the bar at the normal time were free to keep drinking to help them loosen up for the dates until just before 8:00...

The lights went dark. And then, The Final Countdown began, with a spot-lit GOB striding out onto the stage and doing an illusion where he made Tino bring him a scotch. Look, he'd done like twenty of these things already. People weren't getting free magic from him anymore.

"Thank you, everyone, for coming out here on this historic night. We've reached a true milestone here, but more on that later," GOB said. It would be best to fear Round 5, where there would be a couple extra minutes for GOB to discuss the historic nature of the night. "This is, of course, Three Minute Dates. And I am, of course, a Matchmaker Named GOB." He waited for applause..... and then continued. "When I or somebody else, probably Tino, who knows? calls your name, find a table with the other person whose name was called and get to talking and see if you want to make babies within three minutes. Because after three minutes, you'll hear this sound."

The zombie drummer started doing a drum roll.

"And that's when it'll be time to move on to your next date. Got it? Good. Oh, and sorry about the surplus of adult guys. Apparently single chicks can't stand being in a town without me. Anyway, let's get started...."

[OOC: Three minutes = ten comments total, five per person. You don't need to do your threads chronologically, but try not to Joss yourself.

Epic OCD is ~~beginning. For the love of god, please wait until I'm done~~ UP! Have fun!

If I made a blatant mistake, like skipping a character completely for a round or posting a pairing twice or accidentally making incest happen, feel free to grab me on AIM or in the OOC thread and I'll make a quick fix. 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.

A regular post-dates Caritas post will go up on Saturday.]

As Bruce settled in for the first date, he thought that it was nice to start with someone he didn't know too well. It was a rarity when you went out of your way to fake as much social behavior like Bruce did.

So, pleasantly surprised, he took a seat and waited.

"Hi, I'm Juliet," Juliet smiled as she dropped into her seat. "I'm sure I've seen you around."

She didn't really know Bruce, but he was cute. Definitely not a bad start.

"I'm Bruce. And I think we were in that Magic of a Good Time class together over the summer," Bruce said. Of course he knew that for sure, but telling people that you made a point to memorize everyone in a class even if you never talked to them could be seen as a little weird. It was much easier to think you had a class with someone.

"I don't know how the people who were in that class haven't put together a huge party yet with all of our new planning skills."

"Pinkie Pie!" Juliet burbled with enthusiasm. "I loved that class. Being able to plan a good party is such an important life skill, don't you think?"

"I really do. There are a lot of fundraisers in my future, so getting some idea how to plan something fun is crucial," Bruce said. "The only real difference is scale and what kind of food will be served. Well, that and making up for the lack of cheerful ponies."

"Oh, you're from that kind of family?" Juliet asked, perking up a bit more. "Us too. Good thing I like the idea of fundraisers. And of course we have to top ourselves every birthday..."

It was possible Juliet and Jeremy were the only two people on earth who thought this.

"I travel a little too much to have any elaborate birthday parties. I'm never in one place long enough to really celebrate," Bruce said. "But now I'm intrigued. What's a typical Darling birthday party like?"

"Well the first really big grown-up one was last year, when we turned 16," Juliet said, and went on to detail rather excessive festivities for a bit. "But now we have to do the next one on the island."

She looked glum at the thought, but brightened. "Miley thinks she can get Hannah Montana to come!"

Bruce had no idea who that was, but he wasn't going to spend time asking about it now. He could look it up or even ask about this Hannah Montana person later. The important thing was that Juliet was excited by the possibility of getting her.

"From the sound of it, you didn't even need Pinkie Pie's class, if you can arrange all of that and possibly bring Hannah Montana in for the next one. I'm impressed. And I don't impress easily."

"I had some help, but you're sweet," Juliet told him. "I'll make sure you get a good seat for the show."

The buzzer rang, and she grinned at him again. "it was nice to talk to you!"

"Same here. Thanks for a great start to the evening," Bruce said.
