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.

"I'm not so sure about that," Amaya admitted, with the faint hint of a grin. "I've definitely pondered the virtues of hermitude a few times myself. But overall, yes, around here, it's a bit hard to avoid, and at least with the three minute date set-up, you're already moving on to someone else before you have a chance to even really get sick of the person!"

"Speed dates in general are more ice breakers than anything really" Connor confirmed. "But they can still help you figure out who you do and don't jive with."

And for figuring out who might and who might not be looking to unload a few shiny gold coins on some future business.

Actually, if you asked Amaya, that was the only reason to consider.

"That is true," she allowed, "though, really, it'd be almost impressive if you really get the chance to really put a person off."

And as if called by the turn in the conversation, the buzzer to end the round sounded, and Amaya gave a faint snort.

"But thankfully, neither of us seem to have managed to get there now, either!" She offered him a nod. "Good catching up, Connor. Be seeing you around."
