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!]

"Ah," said Amaya slowly, "a barter..."

She was pretty sure there was nothing she could think of that she would need from the sex store, and, even if that statement was actually false and she actually could think of something, she definitely wasn't about to go eagerly bartering for it.

"Have to admit," she hedged, a certain pinkish color slowly rising up to enhance the natural ruddiness of her forge-scorched cheeks,"I've gotten so used to working with currency these days that I'm not even sure I'd know how to barter effectively anymore!"

The part of her that very, very, very much loved a good barter was kind of dying inside of her right now for all the flagrant lies.

Oh, that was actually very cute, that blush. It was also not going to dissuade Irene from trying to make Amaya blush more, if she could.

"You know, I've hardly ever bartered," Irene confessed, which wasn't entirely true but was true in the sense that Irene, being from 2012, generally used currency for the most part. "But do come in some time? And if there's anything in there that catches your fancy, I'll throw it in a discreet paper bag and trade you for some knives, yeah?"

Amaya had absolutely no intention of ever, ever stepping foot in that shop unless, somehow, the island just straight up put her there, which....was an idea that had now manifested and so, zards, it was going to eventually happen somehow, wasn't it?

But even knowing that, she was conflicted to even let the suggestion of a completely unnecessary and totally nothing she would ever, ever need or use or be interested in, really, honest, swear on her hammer.... pass her by for a potential trade.

"The same," she said, with extra awkward emphasis, "goes for you and my shop, as well! Should you happen to wander in some time. Can't miss it! It's the one with the big fire and two whole anvils!"

Honestly, Amaya was very proud of herself for getting that out as smoothly as she had.

"Two anvils, you say?" Irene checked as the airhorn sounded. "So I've taken a wrong turn if there's just the one anvil?"

She was teasing, yes, but honestly, it wasn't as though Irene would know what an anvil even looked like without the help of Warner Brothers.

"I will definitely see you around, Amaya," she added, making a note to definitely find this fire-and-anvils shop at some point. Wasn't as though she didn't dry-clean everything, anyway; her Armani could take a little smoke-scenting.
