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 haven't been as social as I should be, either," she admitted with a grin.

"Happens to the best of us," he reassured her. He spent 48 hours in the lab last week, so he couldn't judge. "What do you do?"

"In town, I'm an artist. I run the art supplies store. Back home, I work in security."

That wasn't a lie since she did sometimes provide security for clients who hired them for investigations and to help her brother protect those that came to him for help.

"Art and security," Tony replied. "An interesting mix."

Said the guy who hung out with a fashion designer turned superhero.

She grinned. "I've always been into art since I could hold pencils or brushes. Security came about due to some things that happened in my childhood that I didn't want other young people to have to go through."

"That's admirable," Tony replied honestly.

She smiled and then shrugged. "I don't do it for me. I just... I know what it's like to not know who to trust and if you can count on people having your back. Being here helped me learn to trust and helping people back in my world seems like a really good way to balance the scales for people that need it."

She shook her head. "So what do you like to do, Tony?"

The buzzer sounded before Tony could respond. So he gave her an abashed little smile.

"Stark Industries in town. That's my place. Stop by if you're interested in finding out."

"I'll be there, Tony. Have a good night."
