fandomtownies | 3 Minute Dates 21 - Caritas

A sign was posted at the front door:

Caritas Presents:
3 MINUTE DATES

Unlike most 3MDs, there didn't seem to be a host. The zombies were just set up, all quiet, when the lights went out.

After a few moments, music started to play. A man's voice started to sing "Ooooooooh" while backing vocals repeated "come on."

The first chorus played before a voice that might have been familiar to longtime residents came up and completely failed to introduce himself. "Welcome to Three Minute Dates. I gave this CD to Tino years ago, just in case this thing I started turned a sexy, legal to drink in the rest of the country 21. In honor of that, have an open bar, courtesy of me, to make sure my name is never forgotten. When somebody reads your names or whatever happens, pair up, get drunk, and let those beer goggles take over for three minutes until this sound plays."

The song cued back up, singing, "You're hopelessly HOPELEEEEESSSSSSSSSSS!" It was, perhaps, a mixed message.

"Have fun. And try not to bang too many people at once, like I'm definitely doing right now."

Finally the lights came back on. Jessica turned to Tino at the bar, taking a free drink, and asked, "Who was that?" Tino just shrugged. He clearly knew, but he was admitting to nothing.

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

OCD starts now. If I fall asleep before it's done, don't mind me. I'll finish up when I wake up. ETA: That's happening. Final 2 rounds posted when I wake up. Feel free to start on the first 3 rounds now. FINALLY DONE!

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 sometime.]

"This isn't going terribly, right?" Rey said as she sat down for this date.

"I think this is going quite well," Khadgar said. Then again, he was a little tipsy, so he might not have been an unbiased judge. "Are you meeting many new people?"

"A few. I don't get out much," she admitted. She also had no shame in it. "You're pretty new here, right?"

"Yes, I've only been here since the beginning of the school year," he said. "I'm Khadgar. I don't get out a lot either, but I'm still adjusting. I sort of ended up here accidentally through a portal."

"Rey. And same, I think." It always made her feel a little better to know she wasn't the only one in that situation. "How's the adjusting going?"

"Well, I haven't been turned into anything odd yet," Khadgar said. "But I also know that statement requires a 'yet.' My classes are going well, even the awkward ones." Like Sex Ed, ugh. "Do you think we'll ever be really settled?"

"No," she said immediately, then thought that was maybe not the best answer. "I mean, not as long as we want to get back. It's probably easier if you're okay being here."

Khadgar thought about that for a moment and nodded. "I don't know if there's anything for me at home. For now, at least, I'm better off here. Did you mean to end up here?"

"Absolutely not," Rey admitted. "And I've been stuck here since. I mean, it's fine, as places go."

Just not where she needed to be.
