Caritas- Saturday before 8:15 pm

It was that time of year again! New people were here! New people to date, get to know, or perhaps make a mortal enemy of!

You never know.

Signs were hung up in front of the bar, both obviously, and easy to miss for anyone who might wander in and get signed up without their knowledge. Above the bar was a banner (in glitter):

TONIGHT!
THREE MINUTE DATES!
GOOD LUCK WBRURBODY


Your hostess wasn't gonna question it. And a few minutes before 8:00, she took the stage.

"Hello, everyone! And welcome to Three Minute Dates!" Kitty greeted them. "If you're new to this, the rules are simple. We call your name along with one other person. You talk to this person, get to know their likes, their loves, their dreams. After three minutes, a buzzer will sound-" Pause for the sound. "-and you'll hear your name paired with a different person. Et cetera. If there is anyone you'd like to talk to more, the bar will be open afterwards for drinks and conversation. Remember that any violence will get you transported into the pond, but also please don't attempt violence in order to flee, that is rude to the rest of your dates. Now I'm going to get off the stage. Have fun, and good luck..."

She trailed off, not going to attempt to pronounce the word on that sign.

"Oh, sweet, no last name," Scott noted interestedly, looking around for someone who looked like she (? he assumed) might be an Aloy. "That's always a pretty badass sign."

Not that he knew anyone else with no last name. Maybe Thor? He'd at least heard of Thor, even if he didn't know the guy personally, obviously.

"Thanks, I guess," said Aloy. Whose expression seemed to scream 'I have no idea how I got involved in this'. "I've got no idea how I got pulled into this."

Close enough.

"You didn't sign up?" Scott asked, looking a little worried. "Think someone signed you up as a joke or something?"

Joke was on them, because Aloy was about to have a really fun, like, two minutes and something something more seconds, at least! Get ready for fun, Aloy.

... Aloy was not good at fun, Scott. Please. Unless your fun included hunting giant robot dinosaurs, and even then it was a 50-50 split with work.

"Maybe," she said tersely. "I just came in here to get a drink, and next thing I know-- well, I'm not used to being roped into date? Nights."

Being roped into solving other people's problems, on the other hand, happened to her all the time.

But what about fun that was shoved, forcibly, at her? What then??

"At least," he offered, "it's only fifteen minutes of forced dating, right? And you can have a little contest in your head about who's the biggest weirdo you meet."

Date Number One checking in and taking a assumptive lead on that front, perhaps.

"You like looking on the bright side of things, huh," Aloy said, with a little shake of her head.
