3 Minute Dates 21 - Caritas - Saturday night

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.]

It wasn't sand! Which was sad,since Anders at least knew what sand was.

He soldiered on bravely regardless.

"I see," Anders said,as though her answer had made perfect sense. "Is that a hobby of yours,then? Hyperdrives?"

Then he already knew it was rough, coarse, and got everywhere.

"Hobby's not the right word, but thanks to Anakin I'm good at it, and..." Ahsoka started then trailed off "...and you don't know what I'm talking about, do you?"

Good job, Tano.

"Not at all, but I didn't think you'd figure it out this fast," Anders admitted. "I'm from one of the worlds that's behind on technology. Haven't caught up as much as I could."

"I'm from one that's ahead of this planet, so it wasn't hard to guess," Ahsoka said.

Plus she'd maybe been using the Force to try to feel things out a little.

"Handy," Anders observed, raising his eyebrows slightly. "Anything from there that you miss?"

"Nothing I can't live without day to day." Even if she occasionally had to remind herself some things were much less automatic. "Though it'd be nice to know there was a decent supply of bacta around just in case."

"I don't know what bacta --"

And that was where the buzzer went off. Anders winced as he rose to his feet.

"And it looks like I'm not going to find out today, but it was nice talking to you."
