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.

"Hey Charlie!" Scott replied cheerfully. "I didn't know they did a student version of this."

Scott, reasonably, assumed there would be a sort of kids' table/adults' table situation here with the dates.

"Apparently so," Charlie said easily. "They let me sign up at least, and no one has thrown me out yet.

"Yet," Scott teased ominously, raising his eyebrows.

"Hey, there are other students here," Charlie protested laughingly. "And I haven't even ordered anything alcoholic." Yet.

She gave a dramatic sigh. "You heard about me on radio, getting caught taking a beer, didn't you. At least they didn't mention that the police officer called me creepy."

"Well," Scott reasoned. "Were you being creepy?"

Stood to ask.

"I called him handsome?"

She looked over at him innocently. "I guess some cops just can't take a compliment."

"Some guys," Scott replied, as gently as he could, "probably have a problem being complimented like that by someone in high school, Charlie, because it's a little inappropriate, and it can make people uncomfortable and worried. And a police officer would probably be extra aware of that."

"I know," she sighed. "I do. I just couldn't quite stop myself.It was far too much fun."

Charlie turned to him more seriously. "I do understand and I swear I'm better about it, you know, out in public areas, but here... I let myself be silly. And I can take care of myself in a pinch."

She was far more dangerous than she appeared, regardless of her age. She was just generally too lazy to bother to appear that way.
