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.]

"I've been working on it, anyway," Sparkle decided, smiling and shrugging. "Any day I'm capable of saying that must be an okay one overall. How weird was your date, anyway?"

Not that Sparkle knew it, but that weird first date of Peter's was going to be his own weird last one. So.

"His name was probably the most normal thing. And his name was Deadpool," Peter answered.

"Glad to hear it. I've actually been meaning to stop by; I feel like I owe you...not so much an apology as a heads-up if it happens again. I think we were flirting that weekend I was a teenager."

Sparkle's mouth tugged into a faint smirk.

"It's okay, I flirted with all the hot guys that weekend," he replied, and then shrugged his shoulders a little. "Which one was you? I can back off next time, if you don't feel okay about it."

Because he was shameless, not a complete asshole.

"I don't mind," Peter said, "I just thought you should know what you were getting into." Pun really not intended.

"Nicephorus. I didn't speak English."

"Oooh," Sparkle replied, snapping his fingers. "The guy who wanted to touch my hair. You were cute, weren't you?"

He'd been SO SMALL AND SQUISHY. Sparkle was grinning, now.

"No wonder there was flirting. I mean, really."

Peter laughed and shook his head. "I'd never seen anything like your hair before! They didn't have a lot of hair gel in Constantinople. This whole place was strange; your hair was just something else new. And you seemed pretty approachable," he confessed.

"That's me," Sparkle laughed. "Strange but approachable. Which is a combination that's been working out for me lately, I want to say."

He really wanted to say it. Whether it was true or not was irrelevant. He gave Peter a little wink as the timer went off.

"And that's our cue to go our separate ways, huh? You have a good rest of the night, Peter. Enjoy your dates."

"Thanks." Peter grinned and kissed Sparkle on the cheek before he headed off. "You, too."
