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.

"Actually no, but I'm a big fan of Summer, so I try them anyway," she said. "Mostly I ever only go to bars to talk to the bartenders."

Was that normal? She really had no idea.

It wasn't abnormal, at least! Probably better than going because you had some kind of bar-related addiction.

"And to speed-date," Scott supplied helpfully with a gentle smile. "So what do you do around here, Rey?"

"I work at Stark Industries fixing things up on Sundays," she said. "And I train with Master Skywalker on Fridays. What about you?"

"Magic Box on Thursdays," he offered casually. "No training for me, though. That's the shirt guy, right?"

When you were new for the summer, Anakin developed a really specific reputation.

"That's the shirt guy," Rey smiled. "I'm not sure how he'd feel about being called that, but I'll absolutely tell him he is."

"Only if you don't think it'll get me thrown in either polyester hell, or his polyester good graces."

Both seemed bad.

Rey paused.

"It might be the same thing," she realized, just in time for the buzzer.
