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!]

Nikolai was going to sit down. He was going to sit down and flag down Tino. That was what he was going to do. And once Tino was flagged down, he was going to order himself a beer.

"Can I get you anything?"

Also, hello. Nice to meet you. Et cetera.

"Oh, that's so nice," Mindy said. "A glass of white wine, please?" Mindy believed in speed dating classily. "Thank you."

"So how's your night going so far?"

"And white wine for the lady," Nick amended, nodding to Tino to get the drink in question. "Me? I can't complain, really."

Actually, he could. He could complain for a while. He hadn't started his dates out on quite the high note he'd been hoping, and they'd gone uphill from there, granted, but they'd remained a bit... weird.

"Plenty of interesting individuals out tonight, playing the speed dating circuit and all. How about you?"

"I'm finding this whole thing pretty nice overall," Mindy decided. "You know, I've actually never speed-dated before, believe it or not," that was a lie, "but it is not at all what movies led me to believe. And I am not only speaking of the foul odor in this bar." Her smile didn't falter even a little bit when she said that last part.

"Yeah, I'm thinking the handful of dead guys in the band really don't help that out," Nikolai snorted shaking his head. "I usually prefer the other place. Devil's Nest. Just as many dead people, I think, but they tend to have better hygiene."

Welcome to Fandom, Mindy.
