3 Minute Dates 21 - Caritas - Saturday night

[craftyladyparts.livejournal.com]

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 is my second one," Maria said, trying not to pay too much attention to his hair. She was a sucker for good hair. "That's definitely a good mix. I knew one person, had recognized another and then met three new people."

And Hya had very good hair, dark and thick with a tendency towards riotous curls in the heat or damp. "Well, 'tis a pleasure to make your acquaintance, Maria."

How did she feel about accents? Because his purring, D'Angeline accent was out in full force, practically turning the syllables of her name into a caress.

Damn it. Maria loved accents and she liked his voice.

"It's nice to meet you, as well, Hyacinthe. How do you like Fandom?"

"'Tis very different from home," he explained. "I'm from Terre D'Ange, which you know as France, from about a thousand years after the death of Yeshua ben Yosef on the cross."

...He really needed to figure out local date customs.

"And back home, I never once woke up as anything other than myself."

She made a note of the things he was saying so that she could look the information up.

When he talked about waking up as something other than himself, she tilted her head. "What did you wake up as? I've been a pony and a child since I've been here."

He wished her the best of luck with that. He had found passingly little on his homeland in this version of the world, though most people understood who he meant when he mentioned a calendar that revolved around a crucifixion.

"A unicorn," he said with a nod of familiarity. "And a flower in a pot, though I am not certain that I could count that as 'waking up.' I was, appropriately enough a--" The final song played, signaling their date was over. "A hyacinth," he finished with a sigh. "'Twas my pleasure to meet you, fair Maria."

Maria always thought that the way the calendar came into being was disturbing.

"It has been nice to meet you, as well, Hyacinthe. I hope to see you again sometime."
