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.

"Hi, Belle!" Gray said. Was he vibrating a little? It was probably fine. "How are your dates going so far?"

"Oh, they've been quite nice," Belle said. "First I saw my assigned little sister and then Graham. Are you having a good time?"

You seemed awfully awake, Gray.

Gray couldn't read narrative but he could answer the question by brandishing his iced coffee concoction. "I came prepared. And, I mean, my first 'date' was my roommate--who is Graham--but it was nice to get to chat with him. And my second date was a girl I hadn't met yet, and it's always nice to meet new people, yeah? Oh! How are your classes going so far?"

"Oh, classes are wonderful." But then Belle was a nerd.

"I have classes on libraries and films and adventuring and heroism! And one on crimes though I'm still not entirely certain how I was registered for that one." It was for comedic purposes, of course.

"How are yours?"

"Oh, are we in the same heroing class?" Gray asked. "I slept through the first one, so I'm trying to catch up a little. With Dr. Jane?" That was her name, right?

"I tried to sign up for the crimes class, but someone took me out of it. I'm convinced it was Al, even though he's in California and not good at computers. But he's no fun. But I have a class on dinosaurs! It's so cool!"

"I have two hero classes," Belle informed him, grinning. "That one and another on Mondays. I've always wanted to be a hero. Are there actual dinosaurs in your class?"

It was Fandom. That was more than likely.

Gray lit up. "Yeah! The teacher has a pet--um, I can't pronounce it. But it can fly! It's kind of cute, really. I wish I could have a pet dinosaur. Maybe if I stick around this island long enough? What do you think?"

Gray. Gray, no.

"If the teacher can have a pet dinosaur then they exist," Belle pointed out. "So it ought to be possible."

Perhaps not wise but certainly possible. And Raiden was here to help with a pet, right?

"You wouldn't get anything vicious, would you?"

"No!" Gray assured her. "No, of course not. Only nice dinosaurs." He considered. "Probably should try for one that eats plants. Or, like, insects. Ooh, if it could eat the mosquitos." Mosquitos were the devil. It was known. "This is a great idea, Belle!"

"Oh, that is a good idea!" Mosquitos were terrible.

"I look forward to meeting your pet dinosaur, Gray."

Of course, that would have to wait until the dinosaur actually existed. And further conversation would likely have to wait until later as the buzzer was going off now.
