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.]

...well.

"Hello, I'm Kuzco," Kuzco said. "Do you like my crown? It's real."

Kuzco. No.

...well, indeed.

Hyacinthe raised an eyebrow at that and then held up his left hand, where he wore a bracelet of jingling gold coins. "So are these," he said mildly. "'Tis my galb. You?"

"I have coins with my face on them," Kuzco countered.

"On you now?" Hyacinthe asked, interested.

...If not for entirely up and up kind of reasons. Shh.

"Do you cross my palm with gold, I will tell your fortune," he added.

"Oooh," Kuzco said, reaching into his toga...thing...and pulling out a coin.

With his face on it. You should see his castle. Super classy.

Well, that certainly was his face on a gold coin. Hyacinthe was tempted to bite the coin, just to be a jackass, but even he could see from the buttery glow that it was real.

He held out his hand. "Give me the coin, O Star of the Evening," he said, slipping into his Prince of Travellers persona as easily as a fish into water, "And I shall tell you truly of what I see in your future."

"That sounds totally real. Really," Kuzco said.

KUZCO. DON'T TAUNT THE FORTUNE TELLER.

THIS COULD ONLY END WELL FOR HIM, REALLY.

"And what have you to lose?" Hyacinthe asked. "If you're wealthy enough to have your face on coins, the loss of one can hardly bankrupt you."

"Fine, fine, tell me," Kuzco said.

He'd probably get told something dumb like he was going to turn into an animal or something.

Please. Anyone could see that joke coming and besides, turning into an animal was par for the course around here. Unless you were as lucky as Hyacinthe and then you turned into a plant.

Hyacinthe waited until Kuzco handed over the coin and made it disappear with a speed that was almost uncanny. He stared at the boy in front of him and suddenly his eyes unfocused and when he spoke, his words had an odd, echoing quality to them.

"I see a woman. She is old, thin...scary beyond all reason," he intoned. "And beside her is a man, tall and sturdy, if slightly vacant-looking. They are in black, the man is crying. They are addressing a crowd, relating the story of your death. Public mourning."

The bell rang. "Okaaaaaaaaaaaay," Kuzco drawled. "I'm totally sure that'll happen. Bye."
