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 ))

[Sabriel is happily awaiting meeting any of her matches, or anyone else really if they'd want to chat.]

[Forward OOC: Okay just so I don't make an ass of myself - does she have an eyepatch/fake eye/something I feel like she did at some point but I'm not sure if that's still a thing or not.

Either way, Masaomi promptly saunters over, seeing his number at this table. He throws a wink immediately, before taking the seat opposite the woman and]


Hello, hello. Was this seat taken? I don't think it was.
thebellthatbinds: (pleased)

[OOC: Sorry I forgot to put it in there but yes, Sabriel's still wearing her eye patch over her left eye for the time being.

Sabriel looks up at the young man's approach, greeting him with a pleasant smile in reply to the wink as he takes a seat.]


Not at all. I'm Sabriel, nice to meet you.

Masaomi Kida - and I'll be your date this evening. [A beat and-] Or one them, at least!

[Isamu didn't sign himself up for this, and the list of people who would have is fairly small. (He's looking at you, Pascal.) Still, at least he seems to have been partnered up with girls when it came to the important things, so this might not be all that bad of an opportunity.

The young man took a seat across from the first of his "dates" and gave her a smile.]


Hey, I think I've seen you around, but you're going to have to remind me of your name.

[Fayt had taken a little bit of time to find the right table, glancing around at the numerous signs set up, looking for the one bearing the next number on the list he'd been given.

When he spots the right one, he makes his way through the crowd towards it, offering a cheery wave when he gets close.]
You're Sabriel, right?

[Asbel takes a seat at the next table he was assigned to. At this point, he's stopped looking at the names of who he was supposed to meet. Maybe he'd feel less strange if he just went in not knowing anything at all about who he was going to meet.]

Ahh... Hi, my name's Asbel. You are...?

[And here comes one of her matches! As he walks over towards the table, Kouki smile and give a friendly wave.]

Hi there! I'm Kouki. What's your name?

[Sure, he can read her name tag. But he prefers asking and receiving the name from the other person. It helps him gauge what kind of person they are for his first impression.]
