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.]

"You're lucky this is the last round. You probably would have jinxed yourself horribly if it'd been the first," Rey agreed.

"If I said it in the first round, I would have deserved whatever I got," Anders nodded. "But it's been a good enough night that I'm feeling brave."

"I'm trying to figure out if I can do something completely crazy in under a minute, but I think you lucked out there, too," Rey told him.

"Lack of imagination," Anders told her, with a smile that hopefully undercut the sting. "How long would it take you to climb on top of the table and serenade me? Or throw your bag at me and call me a bastard?"

Re: Round 5: Anders / Rey

"I don't have a bag and I definitely don't serenade people," she said, and added, "you bastard."

The timer went off, and Anders rose, laughing. "One out of three, isn't bad," he said. "Have a good night, Rey."
