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!]

"Yeah but like," Ulysses replied as he was grabbing that shot, yes, thanks, "I just met a guy."

Never mind that that guy had been a giant flake all the way until their one successful date. Or that Uly appeared to be completely cut off from the entire world that guy was in.

He knocked back the shot.

"A guy I would tolerate, or a guy who would be terrified of me for the wrong reasons?" Illy asked, knocking back her own shot. "This is an important distinction."

"A guy you would tolerate," Ulysses said.

Hesitated.

"... I think." Yeah, he knew how that sounded, which was why he immediately got defensive all by himself. "Look, we didn't have a lot of time to like, really get to know each other before I got -- Wizard of fucking Oz-ed here again."

"Calm down, Dorothy," she sighed. "Fine, I'll make you a deal. If I see you heading off with someone that's giving me Bad Plan vibes, I'll intervene. Deal?"

Ulysses clasped his hands together.

"Thank you," he said, with all the sincerity of the disaster that he was. "Deal."

"It's a perk of having your very own fairy-demon-sorceress. It's like having Scary Dog privileges, but with magic involved. And fairy godmothers are passé," she joked.

"BUT. That means I'm gonna check the vibe of anyone you're considering. So just point them out to me afterwards."

This was far too likely to lead to a potentially awkward situation between her and a magician.

But Ulysses wasn't thinking about that right now. So he just nodded. "I mean, I'd offer to do the same --" He was actually semi-decent at picking up people's vibes! ... Just not when he was personally lusting after them. "-- but let's face it, you've got your shit together."
