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!]

Feeling like he'd really gotten a feel for the pace of this thing by now, Gladio took a quick moment to refresh his drink before heading on over to Number Four.

"Ulysses?" he asked, putting out a massive hand. "Gladio. Good to meet ya. Hanging in there so far?"

Oh no, this one was hot.

... With giant hands? One of which Ulysses was now shaking, even though it felt kinda weird and formal and unfamiliar for him.

(But also. Hands.)

"Uh, yeah, pretty much," he said. "Didn't really take into account when I was signing up that there were gonna be my old teachers here, but so far I've mostly dodged that bullet."

"Old teachers?" asked Gladio, taking a moment to look around and figuring there were at least a few people he could probably peg with that title, and, oh boy, was he going to hear more about that particular complaint from someone else later, too! And his grin went back to Ulysses. "You used to go to school here, or something?"

Re: Round Four: Gladiolus Amicita / Ulysses Zane

[amitragic]

"Oh, yeah."

This long-suffering sigh was getting to be almost automatic.

"I actually graduated this spring, according to island time. But I've been gone, like... all the way through college."

[sword_chocobro]

"So...." Gladio's brow furrowed a little at that. "You've been gone for a while, but only a year has passed here? I'vd heard this place can do weird time stuff, but that's gotta be a headtrip right there."

"Oh, not even a year, months," Ulysses said, as if that really made any difference. Then he leaned back in his seat again, pushing his hair back from his face. "But, yeah. I mean, my best friend from high school is still here and still in high school."

It probably said some things about Uly how fast and easy he'd slipped right back into that friendship, yes.

"But, hey, I mean," Gladio reasoned, realizing he couldn't really relate to any of this at all, really, but he could at least try! "At least you've still got a friend around, there's always that, right?"

And when he considered the math, he couldn't help being a little curious "Actually," he quirked his chin toward another table, "you may have gone to school with my friend Prompto over there, actually. But he got out two years ago, so maybe you missed each other."

Ulysses looked over without thinking about it much.

And was hit, immediately at the sight of Prompto, with a handful of awkward teen memories.

"Yeeeeah," he said slowly, "we did not."
