Love was in the air! Well, not really. That was later. But metaphorically, love, air, etc!

Caritas was decked out for Valentine's Day, with bunches of heart-shaped balloons in strategic places, copious amounts of pink and red confetti at the tables (a conversation starter!) and heart-shaped string lights above the bar and stage. And don't forget the glittery pink banner:

TONIGHT!
THREE MINUTE DATES
IT'S LITERALLY ONLY FIFTEEN MINUTES OF YOUR LIFE

A few minutes before 8:00, Kitty took the stage. She was probably covered in glitter now. "Hello, everybody, and welcome to Three Minute Dates! If you've never done this before, the rules are simple. At 8:00 on the dot, we'll call your name along with one other person's. You'll get to know each other as well as you can in three minutes, and then the gong will sound and you'll get another name to meet. You'll do that for five rounds, and then if there's anyone you want to talk to more, you can meet up at the bar. Good luck, everybody!"

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.

When you had a newly formed inexplicable threesome you clearly needed to go on dates. Dinner dates. Wait, no, coffee shop dates at coffee shops that had always been coffee shops and had certainly not been chinese restaurants earlier in the week. If there happened to be some delicious dumplings on the menu to go with your coffee, well, this coffee shop needed something to differentiate itself from all the others, didn't it?

So Belle, wearing a low-cut top and a shorter skirt than usual, was at Ching Tai Coffee with her two handsome suitors (who may or may not have been wearing shirts, that had not been established yet), enjoying a meal. Or a coffee. Or maybe a coffee and some dumplings.

[What, we didn't need more coffee shops? Of course we did.]

In response to how uncomfortable this week had been, the theme of this year's prom was a Winter Wonderland. The Community Center was decked out with shiny fake snowflakes, plastic fuzzy snow creatures, and plenty of glitter snow. Cold decorations might not actually chill out anyone's hormones, but it was worth a shot.

The food and punch were as normal as anything could be with all the pollen still floating around, and hopefully everyone would be on their best behavior. If not, you might have some children to explain your actions to in the morning.

Come one, come all! It was time for ~~everyone's~~ some people's favorite event, maybe!

TONIGHT!
THREE MINUTE DATES!!!

The bar was open before the dates, and maybe you hung out. Maybe you mingled. Maybe you signed up. Maybe you'd be surprised when Tino or someone else signed you up against your will! But regardless, a few minutes before 8 pm, Kitty hopped onto the stage, which was bedecked in a red sparkly curtain that someone had probably gotten on Amazon for $6!

"Hello, everyone! And welcome to this installment of 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 get three minutes to get to know that person. After three minutes, a buzzer will sound-" Pause for the sound. "-and you'll hear your name paired with a different person. 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. Everyone have fun tonight!"

Or like, at least attempt it.

It was Valentine's Day weekend, and that meant love was in the air - only metaphorically, thank goodness. The community center had been decorated in the gaudiest of decorations - construction paper hearts, streamers, balloons in various shades of pink, red, and white, and of course, as much of the glitter supplies as possible.

Do you know how hard it is to glitter balloons? Hopefully someone would appreciate these creative efforts.

The food tables were filled with a variety of savory goods and plenty of chocolate. There was also regular punch and hot cocoa, neither of which had been tainted ~~yet~~.

It was time for some fun with those you love, or at least fondly tolerate!

It was that time agaaaaaain! There was a sign on the door and a banner above the stage.

CARITAS PRESENTS
THREE MINUTE DATES

Or maybe, perchance, you totally missed it somehow, and didn't run from the bar before Tino could sign you up for dates. It happens!

And then a few minutes before 8:00, Kitty took the stage under the banner, to a drumroll from the zombie drummer.

"Hello and welcome to another installment of Three Minute Dates!" Kitty began. "In case you're new to this, in a couple minutes I'm going to call out sets of names. You'll find that person, talk to them for a whole three minutes. When you hear this siren-" Oh, that was an obnoxious air horn sound. "-you'll get a new person to talk to. If you got sucked into this without your knowledge, sorry, and also it's fifteen minutes of your life, make some new friends!"

[~~So much OCD incoming.~~ OCD is up! Date away! A post for Caritas after the dates will go up Saturday!]

After her classes were finished for the week Jo had decided to try something a bit different and had opted for a hot cocoa at the Perk, it wasn’t as good as the ones from home but it was still nice to have.

Now that she had been here for a few weeks, she was working on a letter to her friend Deirdre, the last time she wrote had been before she left to go to Fandom and so was updating her on what her new school was like. She did consider asking if she could come visit Fandom for Parents Weekend but she was kind of scared to ask Miss Grayling for permission for Deirdre to visit considering how everything at ended at her old school so she had opted to not bring it up, maybe next year she’d arrange it.

It was a good day for a party! Nothing weird was happening, most people were probably between traumas, and why not celebrate with free booze.

Sure, Chaos Drink advertisements were up all over the interior of Caritas, but they were literally paying to host an event where everyone could drink a ridiculously delicious alcohol for free, so it was worth it, right? And surely this deal wasn't too good to be true or anything.

INTRODUCING CHAOS DRINK
DRINK IT FOR FREE! YES, REALLY!

There. That should do it.

[You can still sign up for the event all day today! I won't be sending out emails after Tuesday though so get those signups in now!]

If any of the guys on the island thought they might get away with not being forcibly invited to an all night slumber party- which they shouldn't, since they would not have been expecting it- better luck next time.

It was the exact same setup as the other warehouse, with a couple changes. Because really, why should guys have to go without the typical slumber party experience?

After Faye did radio, she actually had planned to take her own advice and go back to bed.

And instead, when she tried to leave, she found herself...at work. At the gun store. Where she sold guns, on the Tuesdays that she remembered.

Huh. And then -- yep, did not look like she'd be leaving for a bit, so. Good thing she had magazines stashed here, which she would go ahead and start reading behind the counter now, thank you. And hey, at least people would probably be less weird about being stuck here than at the sex store, right?

[open! this is your Layover Week post for Tuesday!]
