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 ))

~*~Romance~*~ or more likely friendship | Fenimore
[So she probably should have started with introducing herself, but that came out instead. At least she's smiling as she says it? And her tone is a friendly one, not a critical one. In the meantime, she slides herself into the chair opposite.]
Feinmore, my gosh you're a cradle robber! /shot
I sort of...only found out last minute I was on this thing. Didn't get much time to comb my hair, not like it stays neat for long anyways.
Hey, blame the sign-upper for being vague on the age category, not her! =P
Do you want some help with that? I brought a comb with me in case of hair-related emergencies of my own. I could at least make it behave in time for anyone you might be meeting later.
I tease.
[It seems rude and oh god he doesn't want to be rude. Rude costs friends.]
How old is he, anyway?
[Without waiting for an actual confirmation, she takes a comb out from her purse-like bag that, under normal circumstances, usually just holds her journal and stands to go stand behind him. How hard can it be to get his hair back into shape in a few minutes? ...Naïvely thinks the person with generally well-behaved hair.]
15, I'm assuming Fenimore is like 20 since she's been here for awhile?
[Annnnd she's already getting her comb out. He's not going to object cause already feels like a total dip for not being able to form a sentence to her argument. In the end, he gives up and he'll just let her go to work. She may find that her comb might get stuck sometimes.]
All right...thanks.
[Better make conversation so he doesn't seem like he's being selfish or something.]
So, uh, what's your name? I'm Cross by the way.
19, but you sure were right about that cradle it seems.
[Wow, this hair situation is worse than she thought. But she will be gentle and try not to pull too hard when she gets caught in tangles, at least for now. Meanwhile:]
So, Cross, tell me about yourself. Where do you come from?
[...This is starting to feel more like she's a hairdresser than a speed date partner, really....]
Apparently so.
He tries to cringe or shift or move at all as she combs though. It stings but he's had worse.]
Okay, Fenimore.
Well, I'm from a world called Earth. But, if you want specifics...I kind of live between two countries.
What about you?
And yet she's got her hands all over him, scandalous.
How do you live between countries, anyway?
the newspapers will have a field day
[It's interesting to know what other places are like, but, still definitely a strange topic.]
Um, very quietly? It's really weird where I'm from.
scandal!
[Good grief, how can hair this short be this tangled? She pulls on one of the tangles a bit hard, but realizes that probably would hurt, so she returns to being gentle.]
How is it weird?
no subject
[Ow, ow, ow. Is this her taking revenge on his head?]
Er, okay. So, the reason why it's weird is because one country is hidden from the other. One doesn't know about the other while the other does. Do you get it?
no subject
[She's trying not to be taking revenge! But his hair is such a mess.]
I...actually, I don't really get it. Maybe I just don't know enough about countries.
no subject
no subject
[Her world only has living oceans as gods who grant people the ability to shoot fire from their fingertips. And people like herself who can project their soul as a physical being and whose hair glows when they breathe underwater. And a ship the size of an island that moves by the will of a woman born with the ability to communicate with the sea. But no magic.]
Or, well, at least different magic. I guess some people might call a few things in my world magic, but I've never thought of it like that.
no subject
[Also darn those ocean gods, giving people magic powers and stuff.]
Iiiiin any case, what kind of stuff are you into?
no subject
Well...I like to swim, when I get the chance. I do some beadwork, sometimes. I guess I'm a little busy to work on my hobbies lately. [Deciding that she's done as much as she can to fix his hair -- though it is certainly been a tough case -- she returns her comb to her bag. Her voice takes on a bit of a joking tone.] Maybe I should take up hairdressing someday.
[As she returns to her seat, though, she continues:] What about you? What are you into?
