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.

Liz had made it through the first round, so she wasn't as nervous as she had been at the start.

She was trying to not feel as self conscious as she made her way over to the next table and sat down, waiting for the next round to start.

"Hello," Yennefer said as she sat down and adjusted her skirts. "Don't believe we've met." That was because you stayed home a lot, Yen. "Yennefer of Vengerberg, and you are?"

“I’m Liz Sherman,” Liz offered, “I run the photo hut in town, it’s nice to meet you Yennefer,”

"You must tell me, Liz," Yennefer said. "I have passed by your establishment before and wondered: what is a 'Photo Hut?' I take it it has something to do with the pictures one can take with one's phone?"

Liz nodded, “we also have different cameras as well,” she told her, “we can have photos developed or printed, especially if you’d like to store them in an album instead of on your phone,” she added.

"You see, where I'm from we're still on painting portraits, technologically," Yennefer explained, "so this is all quite remarkable to me. We have magic, of course, but it's used for the arts less than you would think. Whole albums, really? Imagine!" Well, it was probably quite easy for Liz to imagine.

Liz smiled, “oh do you do portraits yourself?” she asked, intrigued by the description Yennefer gave of the portraits and the mention of magic. "where's home for you?"

“It’s pretty incredible to see all the photos in one place and be able to look into them, I’ve got quite a few full ones that I keep of my work at the store if you’d be interested in having a look - to see what the albums look like?” she offered.

"Me?" Yennefer asked, almost laughing. "No, I'm no artist. I'm from the Continent. Quite a clever moniker, I know." Almost as clever as calling one's planet 'Earth' if you thought about it. "It's on a world that--well, I would say we're somewhere around your 'Middle Ages,' though, as I said, we do have magic to help us along. I assume you're from somewhere more like this," she said, waving a hand around at the bar, "if you know how to work with the photo technology.

"And that would be very interesting," she said in response to Liz's offer. "I might drop by some time."

Liz nodded, “the paranormal does exist for me back home, that was what my last job involved before I moved back to Fandom,” she explained, “so it’s not quite a normal Earth but most people don’t know it exists so we have to work to keep it secret,” she added, “I used to live in Newark, New Jersey before,”

“I tend to work Tuesdays and Thursdays,” Liz told her, “if you’d like to stop by,”

"I may do that," Yennefer said. "I'd also be interested to hear more about the 'paranormal' in your world--in mine it's quite normal, I'm afraid--but it seems we're out of time."
