3 Minute Dates - Caritas - Saturday Night

Over by the front door was a sign reading:

Caritas Presents:
3 MINUTE DATES


Earlier in the evening there was general milling about and Tino serving drinks and such, but then, just before 8, music swelled.

"They said true love was too hard to find
And by all evidence, they were right
But you gave it a shot, hoping you were just blind
And hey, this is just part of your night!

So you came to the bar and wrote down your name
(Or Tino did as a surprise)
Because maybe three minutes could change the whole game
If you just... open... your eyes...
"

Frank danced onto the stage, martini in one hand, which he promptly drank. Fortunately he still had another martini in the other hand to gesture with as the music picked up.

You'll find love! Or maybe a friend
Whatever the case, you won't want it to end
Only three minutes? That's not enough!
I guess you'd better cut out the fluff, because...

It's Three Minute Dates
(Yes, you heard me!)
Three Minute Dates!
(Yes, it is!)

So get down to business, take a swing
And maybe upon a prayer and a wing
You'll figure out this can be a thing
On your Threeeeeeeee....
Minuuuuuuuuuuuuute.....
Daaaaaaaaaaaaates!
"

"Now hit the gong, I'll be at the bar!"

A gong sounded - just as it would at the end of all rounds - as Frank left the stage with two empty glasses in his place.

[Regular post-dates Caritas post]

[OOC: Three minutes = ten comments total, five per person. You don't need to do your threads chronologically, but try not to Joss yourself. Any dates where Randy the RNG Love Potioned you has an asterisk (*) next to your name in the subject line. Everyone who opted in has TWO RNGed Love Potion Rounds, but ALL PEOPLE are welcome to use the love potion in more rounds if they would like, whether you asked for love potion in the signups or not.

Starting the OCD! HAVE AT IT.

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.

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 sometime.]

A lesser vampire would have seen the goodness and innocence coming off of Steve like fireworks on the Fourth of July and would have bowed to their better natures, turning and walking away because there was no way this could end well. None at all.

Sadly, Navaan didn't have a better nature. All she had was a sixth sense for fresh meat and it was going off right now.

"Hi," she said, giving him a very pointy grin. "I'm Navaan. In case you wanted to know what name you'll be calling out later."

Steve blushed to the roots of his hair. "Um. Hi," he stammered. "That's an unusual name?"

Oh Steve, you precious baby angel. Someone needed to call an adult for you.

"You get used to all sorts of unusual things with me," Navaan said, practically purring. "Like, nobody here knows what flang is till I explain it to them, either."

DON'T ASK, STEVE.

"What's flang?"

And she explained. Graphically. With hand gestures to make sure he got the picture.

Steve stared. "...I feel like I need to go to church right now," he admitted. "I mean, I'm up for it--"

He was not. This was miles out of his current league. "--but wow."

"If you're up for it--" Navaan's waggly eyebrows left no confusion about exactly what she meant by that, "--then I can handle everything else."

"That sounds swell," Steve said as the bell rang, saving him from himself. "Maybe after?"

"I'll find you!" Navaan promised, giving him another one of those grins.
