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.

"The closest I've ever come to is dealing with distortions in time, called anomalies, usually linked to different dinosaur eras in Earth's past," Cutter revealed, technically breaking the official secrets act that he signed but he figured Lester would have bigger things to worry about than him telling people what he did for a living.

He paused, "up until a year ago I definitely wouldn't have believed in any of this, that people could be from other times or from outer space," he admitted.

"It's amazing how quickly," Tisarwat said, a bit mild, but somewhat fond, "this place can get you used to all sorts of new ideas and phenomena. It's definitely been a learning experience from me since day one, and there's still plenty more I keep discovering, too. Compared to the Radch, Earth is actually really quite...archaic-feeling, but it does have its cha--"

It was right about mid-word that Tisarwat was cut off by the sound of the round ending, and gave the source of it a disparaging look for its rudeness before pushing back her chair.

"Well," she stated, "if anything, this event does provide a good measure for just how short three minutes can be. But it's been nice meeting you, Nick. Perhaps we'll see each other around more."

She would actually have to, you know, go out more, but hey! She was working on it!
