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!]

Honestly, Troy couldn't blame her, and, even though it wasn't exactly a conventional way to start a conversation, he had to kind of admire the directness of it, especially in the context of the event.

"We're almost done," he pointed out. "You...wanna go get a burger or something after this?"

It seemed the most logical conclusion to the evening, if you ask him! Especially since she was cute as hell.

Like, you know, pretty much all the girls here, but still!

"Sure," Malia said, perking up a little. "And then we can go have sex too, if you want."

Look, she didn't really get dating, okay?

And here Troy was thinking he'd scored pretty big on the burger!

In fact, that exceeded his expections so much that he just wanted to take a second to make sure he actually heard that right and it wasn't just, you know, Troy's Brain doing that thing where it kind of just jumped in there and made him hear what he wanted to hear.

"I'm sorry," he at that moment remembered how to blink, "what?"

Even when he was a star quarterback it wasn't ever even that easy!

"Sex?" Malia said again. "You and me? That's the whole point of this thing, right, finding people to sleep with?"

"Erm," said Troy, eloquently. "Well, uh....I mean, I guess. I think it's more about meeting new people, but--"

Troy. Troy. What were you even doing right now, man?

He stopped, shook his head, and refocused. "I mean," he said. "That's definitely one outcome. I mean, yes. Yes. That's definitely the point of this."

"So . . . you do want to have sex," Malia said, because she got very lost in the midst of all that stammering around, Troy! "And burgers. Burgers and then sex."

You caught him off guard, Malia! And things weren't usually this....awesome without some kind of horrible catch, right??

"Yes," Troy agreed, firmly, with a nod. "Burgers, and then sex. And we can even just skip the burgers, if you...no, no, burgers sound awesome, too, but I think since this is the last round, we can totally at least skip the," he checked his watch, realized that he didn't know how much time they even had or when they even started, but it didn't really matter at this point, "I don't know, however many minutes there are left and just go right to burgers, I'm pretty sure literally no one will care."

Malia smiled. "Let's go!"

Troy had to take a moment to turn slightly out of the way so that his mouthed oh my god to the Powers That Be and little fist pump of victory would be slightly less noticeable, and then got up with a resounding, "Let's do this!" in agreement.

And, because he was pretty sure this meant that he won at dating and therefor kind of had to, he also took a moment to just shout out, "Suck it, Sucks!" on his way out, too.

That would be more subtle if he wasn't leaving with a werecoyote.

"You're kind of a dork, aren't you," she said. She didn't sound like she objected.

Let's be honest, it wouldn't have been subtle even if she weren't a werecoyote.

"What?" Troy asked, looking a little startled by the suggestion and then brushing it off with a laugh that was not helping change anyone's mind, but it was fine, there would be hamburgers to distract from any such notions here soon. "No," he shook his head. "Definitely not."

Yes.

Big time.

“It’s okay,” Malia said, smiling at him. “I like dorks.”
