Three Minute Dates- Caritas- Saturday before 8:15 pm

[throughaphase]

It was that time agaaaaaain! There was a sign on the door and a banner above the stage.

CARITAS PRESENTS
THREE MINUTE DATES

Or maybe, perchance, you totally missed it somehow, and didn't run from the bar before Tino could sign you up for dates. It happens!

And then a few minutes before 8:00, Kitty took the stage under the banner, to a drumroll from the zombie drummer.

"Hello and welcome to another installment of Three Minute Dates!" Kitty began. "In case you're new to this, in a couple minutes I'm going to call out sets of names. You'll find that person, talk to them for a whole three minutes. When you hear this siren-" Oh, that was an obnoxious air horn sound. "-you'll get a new person to talk to. If you got sucked into this without your knowledge, sorry, and also it's fifteen minutes of your life, make some new friends!"


[So much OCD incoming. OCD is up! Date away! A post for Caritas after the dates will go up Saturday!]

The Bar [5:00-8:00 pm, before the dates]

Get some liquid courage, sign yourself up/get signed up/get talked into it!

Tino's handling all the drinks for now, so there's that.

Nick did not need liquid courage. However he was going to get a beer to bring with him, in case things went terrible.

You never know.

Jon showed up, eyed the banner suspiciously, and then went to the bar. He could just ignore the goings-on and sit in a dark corner.

Then Kitty called his name. "...Wait, what?"

Ok that wasn't exactly the thing Dwight was expecting to see as he sat at the bar, enjoying a beer.

"Wait... that was tonight?"

Eliot was 100% here on purpose. And 100% here early enough to get in a few drinks and judge the hell out of the bar itself first.

“Dry martini,” he ordered. Then gave Tino a once-over. “You know what, maybe just bring a Martin glass and some olives. I can handle the rest.”

This again.

That was fine. Illyana was here because she wanted drinks and was too lazy to go to the mainland to get her own alcohol. Getting able to check off Strange's mandated 'weekly attempt at socialization outside of class' was a definite bonus.

She was just going to get a lot of vodka shots from Tino, and see if Uly was here too. So they could judge everyone before the party started.

Malia hadn’t planned to be here. But she’d made this mistake of mentioning it to Scott, who decided she needed to “socialize more”, so here she was.

Sitting silently and staring at people, trying to guess by scents who would hook up with whom.

Kiem had heard about this and since it was at his favourite bar in the town (granted, the only one that would serve him) and he had made far too few friends so far, he had signed up.

Ulysses was getting a stiff drink, and kind of looking... apprehensive about this whole thing.

It was super attractive.

Was it odd that Belle only seemed to find herself in this establishment on nights when something was happening here? Perhaps. Still, she'd been only mildly affected by the strange drinks the last time she was here and the 'dates' the last time had been fine aside from Five being himself. So she stayed, ordering herself something she hoped wasn't going to alter her personality, and waited for the event to begin.

Re: The Bar [5:00-8:00 pm, before the dates]

[apocalypsehow]

Five hadn't resurfaced for longer than it took to grab some food or coffee while he tried to work out a way to get his siblings back.

Which meant of course the trip out to drink himself into a stupor would fall on this night.

It was pure coincidence that Annie was actually here tonight and happened to see that she'd been signed up. And while she was glaring down the bar at Tino, she was frowning entirely at the wrong NPC bartender.

Though Tino had accepted five bucks from Tiny to put her name in there, sure. So maybe the glare wasn't unwarranted.

But she could make five friends. Though it was such a small island, Annie was betting she knew most of these people already.

Irene did not need the liquid courage, per se, but a little social lubrication never hurt anything.

She watched intently while Tino made her a martini in case he fucked it up -- Kitty, she trusted you but not necessarily your staff -- before signing up and taking a curious look around the bar to see what she might have to work with tonight.

Stark had had a long week. He'd been hesitant to leave the apartment but nothing too terrible had happened while he'd been dragged off to do the radio this morning and coming to the bar usually didn't end in disaster. Going out for a bit might be a good idea. Or so he thought until he saw the sign and spotted Tino gleefully jotting his name down as he approached the bar.

"Again?"

Tino did, at least, slide a drink across the bar. But he didn't look at all apologetic.

Summer wasn't here for the dating, obviously, like, duh. She was locking down even harder on the fact that she'd made it past the year mark with a guy who would help her messed up family save the world by throwing his pants into a laser, thank you, and was just here to drink because she'd just had to help her messed up family save the world by throwing pants into a laser.

And also to secretly sign a certain new school-assigned bestie up for it instead.

Whaaaat?

Ping me if you're dating yourself and don't want to be, or if I missed someone or double paired you. Yes there's one that happened accidentally and it's glorious and I got the okay to leave it.

Also I decided to random icon all the OCD so let's see where that takes us.
