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

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!]

"So, you got roped into this shindig tonight too huh?" he asked with a smirk as he gave Johnathan a wave and sat down. "Island must really like you, giving you as much attention as I got when I was a brand new newbie."

Jon sighed. "I...um. I suppose so." Though he was now wondering...no, actually, now he knew that this was less down to the island and more to Summer. Which was at least less worrying.

"I certainly had not been planning this."

"Eh, neither was I, to be honest." Dwight gave him a reassuring grin.

"And don't worry, I wont force ya to talk on and on about random things or make you sit here ant listen to me ramble. We can both just sit here and enjoy our drinks if you prefer," he said raising the bottle in his hand slightly before taking a quick swig.

"That seems...rather more awkward than talking, to be honest," Jon said.

As witness the several seconds of silence while he worked out something to say.

"I trust your business has been going well."

"Yeah keeping busy working on inventory and all that. Takes a while to set up a good functional handyman shop from scratch" he said with a smirk.

"How are things at the apartment going? No major issues I trust?"

"No, nothing major." Jon nodded. "It's all been going very well, thank you. Why, um. I'm interested in why a handyman shop."
alwaysonguard: (who knows)

"Well, back home I was sort of the town fixer and cleaner- literally. Kinda just figured the same kind of thig might be needed here. Has given me some work and there is always the 'normal' stuff to deal with like broken lights and plumbing issues. Just seemed like a good fit." Dwight chuckled as he added "Also gives me an excuse to get back to the woodworking and all."

"That sounds good," Jon said. "If you enjoy it."

"Keeps me out of trouble, gives me something to do... Kinda like you with the teaching and all. We don't do good with idle hands right" he said, giving Jon a knowing wink as the airhorn went off.

"You know where to find me. And good luck with your other dates."

"Erm...no, not really." That wink was confusing. "Thank you?" He was going into his next date now thoroughly confused as to if Dwight had maybe actually been flirting?

Good lord, he was bad at this. Why was he here? Ah, right. Summer.
