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.

"At least it's not 'Stevie' or 'Scotty,'" Steven said, happy to find a bright side in the nicknames he'd been given on the island so far. He made a mental note to be sure to always call Dwight, well, Dwight from now on. "Do you wear a great deal of flannel?"

Steven's knowledge of lumberjacks might be greatly influenced by a musical number from a certain British sketch comedy show.

And parody that it was, it was still strangely accurate for how most people viewed that niche job.

"Well, when I first move to the island there was a bit of flannel... and in their defense I did have longer hair so I guess I fit the stereotype somewhat. It's nothing terrible... lord knows there's been worse nicknames I've carried over the years!"

"I know what that's like," Steven said. Konshu certainly had his share of less than complimentary names for Steven. On the other hand Steven had plenty of those in return.

Just then the buzzer went.

"Oh dear. That's us then," Steven said. He stood, offering his hand to shake. "Good to meet you. Perhaps I'll stop by your shop sometime?"

"Same," Dwight said as he stood as well and returned the handshake. "And feel free any time."
