3 Minute Dates - Caritas - Saturday night

A sign was posted at the front door:

Caritas Presents:
3 MINUTE DATES

Just before 8:00, Bruce walked up onto the stage, dressed in a suit and a smile. "Hello, and welcome to Three Minute Dates. I'm not exactly sure how I got roped into this to begin with, but I agreed because it kept me from participating for once. Trust me, my dating history doesn't really need another five dates in a night. That said, I will be at the bar once this is done, so you can still have a chance to chat me up if you really want to."

After a very brief pause for laughter, Bruce clapped his hands together. "Well, without further ado, let's get this started. I'll read off a bunch of pairings, then you'll have three minutes until the air horn sounds..." Which it did, just then. Bruce visibly cringed. "Then it's time to cover your ears and run off to your next date once I call your name. It's just five rounds, so you'll be done with this in no time. Good luck."

[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. has been completed. You have permission to play.

If I made a blatant 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. 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 things up on Sunday, that's fine.

A regular post-dates Caritas post will go up Saturday afternoon when I'm snowed in like Edward. Zing!]

"Well, that does seem to be true so far," Jessica said. "And the disclaimer is noted. If you say something really terrible, it'll be no hard feelings. I doubt that'll be a problem, though. You'll be fine."

"I hope so," Elsa admitted. "I'm really mostly here because Professor Skywalker promised extra credit to any of his students if they decided to come here to learn the fine art of mingling. But I could probably stand to meet new people all the same."

"So you're not looking for an epic romantic connection?" Jessica checked. "I mean, as much of one as you can get from skimming the surface in a just few minutes. So probably not really that 'epic' at all."

"Not really," Elsa replied with a little laugh. "I'm not one of those people who believes you can find true love and happiness just by making eye-contact. But a few new friends... I would be okay with that, I think."

She wasn't really sure. She'd never actually had friends before Fandom, either.

"You know, that sounds nice," Jessica said. "I've been... Let's call it 'unexpectedly encouraged' to do this before by friends who didn't mind signing people's names, and I probably would have had more fun if I had that attitude instead of being nervous about the whole thing."

And then a girl's voice (http://fandomtownies.livejournal.com/4276676.html?thread=176160964#t176160964) could be heard to say, "I'm just here to get laid.” This caused Jessica to look around, a little confused. Did she just hear that?

It hadn't been Elsa! She was blinking and looking around as well, looking outright baffled.

"Was that somebody getting a little enthusiastic at another tab- goodness."

Between the phantom voices and that air horn, it was a wonder Elsa wasn't having icy fits right there on the spot.

"Well, if it was," Jessica said, trying to talk over the horn, "I hope they're at least upfront about it if I get them just so it doesn't get super awkward. It was good to talk to you, Elsa. I hope you have fun meeting more people."

Elsa gave her head a nod as she attempted to get her heart to stop racing, and the air horn finally stopped blowing.

"And you too, Jessica. Have a good evening."

Hopefully between now and her last date, Elsa wouldn't end up leaping clean out of her skin or something.
