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.]

"No,I know what you mean," Didi assured him, smiling back. "I get it. Sometimes it's great to talk to one person and sort of solve the mysteries of the universe, sometimes that's just too much. That's where single-serving friends are good."

"Right," Kanan agreed, "and there's no hard rule saying that if you liked that first serving you can't come back for other ones again later, to unravel all of those mysteries you passed up on the first time."

He was pretty sure he liked Didi, for example. She seemed easy to get along with.

Didi smiled, more warmly now. (She thought she liked Kanan, too.)

"True," she said. "I mean I can't speak for you, but I'm going to be around for a while. Plenty of time to get back to unraveling mysteries with somebody, if I want to."

"I can't even entirely speak for me," Kanan admitted, "but it seems as though the island has it in mind to keep me here for a little longer. And if there are people here worth speaking to, it would be a shame to pass that up, wouldn't it?"

The timer went off, and Kanan gave it a wry look, before turning back to look at Didi with a smile.

"That said, maybe we could talk again sometime. Over coffee, or drinks? I'm kind of curious what your approach to mysteries actually is, now that we've brought them up in conversation."

"I think I could fit that in," Didi said. "It's been a while since I had anybody to solve mysteries with."

Tamsin knew almost as much as she did, and Tino wasn't much of a conversationalist.

"Want to have coffee on Wednesday?"

"Wednesday? Wednesday sounds great," Kanan replied, giving an easy grin. "I'll look forward to it, and I hope the rest of your dates tonight go well."

Another three bite-sized samples of potential people to solve mysteries with down the road.
