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 don't think I've ever been in your store," Stark said. "Maybe I should come in. At least to look around."

And maybe buy something that smelled nice, because why not?

"No luck at all getting closer to home?"

"Still nothing," Margo sighed. "I'm down to reading shit about moon magic written by actual lunatics."
stykera: (a little unhappy)

"I'm sorry. I hope you can find something soon."

"Wait," he said with a frown, "like when we couldn't sleep and the moon asked what we wanted?"
not_a_goddamn_princess: (eyepatch: you think that's clever)

"Yeaaah," Margo said. "Turns out there's a whole worldwide cult of those moon-loving weirdos that do that for fun."
stykera: (oh that's just great)

"On purpose?" And people called Stark crazy sometimes.

"That's horrible. Why? I hope you don't have to resort to that."

"They just really fucking love the moon," Margo said, pulling a face. "It's weird and fetish-y and I don't really like to think about it."
stykera: (sincere)

"Even with the not sleeping?" Stark had really not enjoyed that week. At all. The face he was making reflected that quite well.

"I hope you find another way. Good luck? I'd offer to help but I don't think I'd be of any use. No magic." He didn't consider any of what he did magic, anyway, even if it might seem that way to others.
