Speed Dating

Who: Anyone who wants/is forced to come
What: Speed Dating!
When: Saturday at a vaguely-afternoonish time period
Where: The Rec Center
Summary: Details here, Roster here!
Rating: PG/13/T/R/god I don't know there's too many people



[The rec center today is colourfully decorated, with posters and directing signs here and there to make this whole process easier. The main floor is peppered with a bunch of tables and chairs pilfered from various locations (primarily the school) with two chairs facing each other per table. There's a couple of bigger tables off to the side, one for food (carrying drinks and various snacks, including Teddy and Ororo's homemade rainbow cookies), and the other with a few chairs and piles of paper everywhere. And a checklist. The checklist is important.

The desk is Billy's, and he's handing sheets of paper out to anyone who comes in and was signed up for the speed dating. Give your name, get a sheet and a name tag, go to the first desk or mingle until it starts- that's what people will be told when they arrive. Teddy's not far from the desk or the door depending on where he's needed, directing people to follow the signs, get comfortable, try some snacks- whatever they want.

Finally a lounge area has been set up with cushy chairs, couches, and the rec center's supply of games and whatnot in the corner. There is a sign for the area that says, "If you find yourself on a turn without a date, come hang out!" It's also got a picture of a weird-looking potato man hanging out, but never mind that.

When everything is ready and people are good to go, Teddy steps up and calls for attention, with Billy sitting on top of the table behind him for moral support (and unhelpful interruptions).]


Hey, guys – Hey! Can everyone hear me? Everyone? [...] Great!

I'm sure everyone knows why they're here. Or, you know, not, since a few of these sign-ups look a little suspicious...
[He raises an eyebrow at that, but his smile remains good-natured, and his brow smooths over soon enough.] On behalf of Alliance, welcome to Luceti's very first -

-We think.

- speed dating event! [Though Teddy glances at Billy for that interruption, he'd paused as if he expected it to come.] I'm Teddy, and this is Billy, and we're your hosts today. I'll try to be brief for those of you who just want to get this started already, but let's go over the rules and regulations first.

If you happened to get dragged into this without knowing what you're getting yourself into, it's basically exactly as it sounds. You might remember one of us handing you a list of numbers. Well, when Billy gives the signal, everyone will head to the table with the first number on their list, which will pair you off with someone in the room you just might not have met before! You'll have five minutes to talk to them and get to know them, just enough time for a good – or bad – first impression. After that, one of us will blow the whistle, and you'll go to the next numbered table. And on and on, until it's all over! By then, you might have found someone you're interested in, either as a friend, a potential love interest, or even just someone you really don't want to see again.

To keep track of it all, there's a space beside the number to write down the name of the person you're talking to and anything else you might have learned about them. And maybe by the end, you can write down a no, a yes, or an oh yes.


Try not to be too vague about it and we'll give you your matches at some point in the future.

[Teddy grins after that, a happy and excited one.] Remember, this is all about having fun and meeting new people! If you want to take a break, get bored, or don't have a partner, refreshments are on that side of the room [He gestures to the side, showing off the assorted foods and the cookies that he and Ororo spent a good part of the night baking.], or you can come up and talk to us! We're just the supervisors here, after all.

[He takes a step back after that, his attention going to Billy, his way of telling him to give the signal.] Billy?

[Billy gives a small wave, remaining on his table. Teddy did the hard part, after all.] There's a lounge, too, if we're not interesting enough. You might meet somebody there you're not paired with and find a new friend, so give it a shot.

That's pretty much it, so everyone can go on and head to your first table, and we'll blow the whistle in one minute. Thanks for coming, and try to have fun!



(( ooc: directions are as follows:

1) check your roster
2) make a top thread for your character with their name in the subject line
3) tag and be tagged
4) THERE IS NO QUESTION MARK ONLY PROFIT ))

moehealer: (flooded in red oh god)

did you just

[personal profile] moehealer 2013-07-11 06:40 am (UTC)(link)
[Oh yes talking about other dudes is kinda counterproductive, isn't it... In response though, Yellow gestures toward the sketchbook sitting in front of her.]

Well... I like drawing! I usually just draw Pokemon, but I'm lately I'm trying to practice drawing people and animals too.
systemshock: (Conspiracy)

that was just some of my convention-al wisdom

[personal profile] systemshock 2013-07-11 08:03 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah? Do you have any you can show?

[He loves a good artist. And Masaomi did say he could get someone to make a comic book for him.]
moehealer: (014. Yep!)

oh my god

[personal profile] moehealer 2013-07-11 09:21 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah! I have this whole book of them. I have more sketchbooks at my house too, but yeah.

[She slides the sketchbook toward him so he can take a look. When it comes to animals and Pokemon, the drawings are actually really good! But for humans... not so much. Most of them are just of her housemates and their teams, as well as some of friends from Luceti -- Jack Vessalius, Precis Neumann, Elliot Nightray, Gilbert Nightray, Kaori Iwanoki... and some others. So Static may be able to recognize some!]
systemshock: (Back there)

Maybe I just have an AX to grind.

[personal profile] systemshock 2013-07-12 03:01 am (UTC)(link)
[Having not met any of them, none of them stand out. But the Pokemon are way more interesting to him.]

Wow, these are really good.
moehealer: (015. Maybe I was phone...)

ahah! too bad it wasn't AX that i was at ohoho

[personal profile] moehealer 2013-07-12 07:38 pm (UTC)(link)
[She just watches as he looks through them all.]

Ahh... You really think so? Thanks!
systemshock: (Elementary my Gear Watson)

CURSES, DEFEATED

[personal profile] systemshock 2013-07-13 06:48 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah. You could make your own comics with pictures like these.
moehealer: (dunno where you got that)

it was a different con. i suppose you can call it a /super/ one...

[personal profile] moehealer 2013-07-15 12:34 am (UTC)(link)
[Oh huh...]

My own comics? I never really thought of making comics or anything like that, actually.
systemshock: (Just like that)

I would never do that.

[personal profile] systemshock 2013-07-15 02:59 am (UTC)(link)
Well, you've got the art. All you need is a story.
moehealer: (do you forgive me)

fsdhjkfhsdk

[personal profile] moehealer 2013-07-17 09:14 am (UTC)(link)
I don't have any story in mind, though... Unless you have any ideas?
systemshock: (Elementary my Gear Watson)

[personal profile] systemshock 2013-07-20 01:17 am (UTC)(link)
Well, comics are usually about superheroes. But you could make one about something else.

[Except no, superheroes are way better.]
moehealer: (elope reminds me of horses)

[personal profile] moehealer 2013-07-21 03:38 am (UTC)(link)
Hmm, maybe... What kind of superheroes though? What would their powers be?

[She's actually kind of interested in trying this out..]
systemshock: (Just like that)

[personal profile] systemshock 2013-07-21 08:43 pm (UTC)(link)
Electric powers? Like your Pikachu.

[He's totally not biased, okay.]
moehealer: (007. Woah what.)

[personal profile] moehealer 2013-07-24 04:12 am (UTC)(link)
[Toootally not biased...!]

Hmm.. That may be a good idea... But what else? I mean, there would have to be more than one character, wouldn't there?
systemshock: (Nervous chuckle)

[personal profile] systemshock 2013-07-26 12:31 am (UTC)(link)
Well every superhero needs a love interest, right? Some sort of beautiful blonde girl.

[Just like... Artemis, who he's looking at behind Yellow. And not actually Yellow. Yeah.]
moehealer: (013. So you was phone.)

and yet again i was at a con

[personal profile] moehealer 2013-07-31 12:14 am (UTC)(link)
Oh, do they? [She's not really one to read comics and such, so she wouldn't really know, but... that would make sense!]

Should she have a power too, or...?
systemshock: (Conspiracy)

You have an addiction

[personal profile] systemshock 2013-07-31 04:10 am (UTC)(link)
Maybe. Or maybe she's tough enough she doesn't need a power.
moehealer: (What are you doing..)

more like florida has too many cons sob

[personal profile] moehealer 2013-08-01 05:18 am (UTC)(link)
Oh, that works too! I think that would be cool. Let's see...

[She sketches out a design for the girl. Shoulder-length blonde hair, somewhat small with firm, determined posture, fairly flat, and just average clothes! A t-shirt and caprees. I mean, if she has no powers, then she doesn't need some flashy superhero outfit, right...?!]

How's that?
systemshock: (Perplexed)

[personal profile] systemshock 2013-08-04 03:23 pm (UTC)(link)
[He's all excited to look until... well, that's not bad. Just, sort of uninteresting.]

Uh... well that's a good start. I guess.
moehealer: (but seriously who was phone)

[personal profile] moehealer 2013-08-05 05:48 pm (UTC)(link)
You guess?

[Oh... is it not good enough...?!]

Should I add anything to it then?
systemshock: (Suspicious)

[personal profile] systemshock 2013-08-07 12:08 am (UTC)(link)
Uh. Maybe a weapon? So she can defend herself. Like, I dunno, a bow or something.
moehealer: (Default)

[personal profile] moehealer 2013-08-09 12:57 pm (UTC)(link)
A bow... hm...

[She erases the girl's arm, changing its posture respectively and giving it a bow. It's not a fancy-looking one, but it'll do!]

How's that?
systemshock: (Nervous chuckle)

[personal profile] systemshock 2013-08-09 03:05 pm (UTC)(link)
[... well, it's not exactly like Artemis. But close enough!]

I like it! Now they just need names... How about Bolt and Athena?
moehealer: (shall be super embarrassing too)

[personal profile] moehealer 2013-08-09 03:06 pm (UTC)(link)
[Bolt and Athena...]

Yeah, those work! I like those names a lot. Though I haven't drawn the guy yet, so I should probably do that... [hm...] What kind of outfit should he have? He definitely needs a cape, right?
systemshock: (Like one of your french girls)

[personal profile] systemshock 2013-08-09 03:07 pm (UTC)(link)
Capes are cool. Of course, I think the long coat is cooler, personally. That's just me.

[Seeing as he's wearing a purple one. He's subtle.]
moehealer: (flooded in red oh god)

[personal profile] moehealer 2013-08-09 03:16 pm (UTC)(link)
[Very subtle.]

Should I just make him look like you then? [She's mostly joking, but..]
