Caritas- Saturday before 8:15 pm

[throughaphase]

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.

Guillermo smiled, "oh wow, that must be so nice," he said, "I've never had a pet before," he told her, even though sometimes he did like the idea of having a pet of his own, "what's his name?"

"His name is Maya," said Sakaki, her usually dry, hard manner of speaking going immediately warm and soft; it was much easier talking about animals than it ever was to talk about herself, especially one like her cat. "He's an Iriomote Mountain Cat, which is an endangered species, but he's very special. He traveled all the way from Okinawa to Tokyo just to find me! Sometimes I wonder, if he hadn't found me before I came back from the break, if he would have even traveled all the way here to the United States, as well!"

Just thinking about it, no matter how many times she thought of it before, seemed to bring a sudden sheen of tears to her eyes, incredibly moved by her kitten's astounding bravery and strength and their undeniable bond, forged over just a few days but a few weeks ago.

“He sounds like an incredible cat,” Guillermo told her with a warm smile, he didn’t really know much about cats but the way Sakaki seemed to talk about him made him think he was a very special cat, “I’m glad that he was able to find you, that must have been quite the journey for him to take,” he paused, "I'm sure if he was meant to find you, I think he could have made the journey to the United Country," he assured her.

"I'm glad he didn't have to, though," Sakaki noted, feeling a little twinge of pain in her heart at the idea that he would have had to have traveled so far and gone through all that difficulty. "It's enough that he made it as far as he did! But I think he was lonely. He...may have been an orphan, when we found him."
