Three Minute Dates- Caritas- Saturday until 8:15 pm

Caritas sort of looked like a Party City threw up, because Tino had offered to do the decorating. Of course there were balloons, streamers, glitter though it was hard to tell where it was supposed to have come from, confetti on the tables, and a butcher block banner up over the stage with "THREE MINUTE DATES" written in what was maybe paint? It sort of looked like puff paint but that had to be way too much work, right? Right?

A couple minutes before 8:00, Kitty took the stage with the zombies playing her on, and she shushed them to stop. "Hello and welcome to another Three Minute Dates!" she greeted them. "You know how this goes, unless you don't. Your names will be called into pairings every three minutes. You get together, you talk, the buzzer sounds, you go to your next table. If three minutes isn't enough time, maybe hang around a little, scope them out at the bar. And if you hate it, you just have to last five sets of three minutes, I believe in you."

She wasn't sorry if Tino signed any of you up. She was sorry for the letter banner he'd strung up over the bar reading "Have Good Banging," which was terrible English and odds were excellent that it did not stay up all night.

Boc jumped a little bit, of course, at the sound of his name from anyone other than the announcer, and relaxed, albeit just marginally, to see that it had come from Raiden, and he just sort of gave an exhausted sort of whimper up at him. "Oh, ah, hel...hello, sir," he said. "It's, um, good to see you. I...rather got caught up in this, I don't know how. Erm, uh...."

Not even four previous rounds could warm him up to conversations being easier, especially when one itself didn't involve much talking at all, and that had been very nice, why couldn't they have all been like that?

"And...how're you? Everything alright? With, ah, the pizzas and everything?"

Sir? Who the hell was sir? Was Boc talking to... "Oh, you don't have to call me 'sir,'" Raiden assured him. "I'm not fancy like that.

"And things are going great! We're transitioning to more 'fall' flavors, although to be honest with you, I love apples as much as the next guy but I'm kind of hoping for something different next week."

At this point, Boc was so exhausted that he didn't have him in him to whimper over the ever increasingly more complicated topic o how to address people and still be respectful, but he did sigh a bit over it.

At some point, maybe he should just start actually using people's names! And that'll really show 'em!

But for now, he was going to focus on the pizzas. "Oh?" he asked. "Have there been mostly apples, then? I've had some lovely apple pastries, at the bakery before, they're quite nice."

Hey, he was starting to catch on!

"Yeah, the last week has been kind of a heavy apple theme," Raiden confirmed. "I don't know what it'll be next week. I've got a few ideas, but the delivery guys might make the decision for me, y'know?"
