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 ))

"You're also prettier than any if them and I like you far more." He tilted his head. "Gregor's feet weren't all that large. And I already cleared out all his things."

Rogue laughed, "It's a sayin'. Like: It's raining cats and dogs. Big boots means... that they make a big impression. Like, it's hard to live up to. Hard to fit."

Though she was glad he was even looking.

...she wondered, though, where she would stay if she came over in the evenings. What would it be like to come over to his house and have someone else there?
complicatedliar: (calm gaze)

"Ah, I see." He nodded. "Though it is probably is for the best. I don't know where I would put a housemate, since the guest room is really... ours." He'd almost said it was hers, but it wasn't as if she slept there alone, often. When she wished to be alone, she had her own room at her regular house...

[personal profile] touchofrogue 2013-07-02 02:54 pm (UTC)(link)
She gave him a warm smile, unfamiliar, pleasant feelings tingling in her stomach, "I think we'd work something out." Though spending the night in his room was still... a little trying for her, the thought was much less overwhelming now than it had been. Ours. She had to turn that one over in her mind a little while. "It might be best if you could turn a room downstairs into a bedroom, if ya find someone you like."

Loki laughed. "But then where would my books live?"
touchofrogue: (A Glimpse of What's to Come)

[personal profile] touchofrogue 2013-07-02 06:37 pm (UTC)(link)
Rogue grinned, "Maybe we could build a room for them. We could make it a project."
complicatedliar: (Default)

[personal profile] complicatedliar 2013-07-05 02:49 pm (UTC)(link)
He actually brightened at that prospect. It was something to do. And she'd said "we."

"That could be fun..."
touchofrogue: (Hair Tuck | Shy or Sly?)

[personal profile] touchofrogue 2013-07-05 04:09 pm (UTC)(link)
Well. She hadn't thought he'd go for it, but she was glad he had. He could use a new project. And she rather liked the thought of building something together with him.

"After all the time's I've had to help rebuild the mansion, I'm a pretty fair hand with a hammer. Someone would justneed ta make sure the room wouldn't fall down... help tear it down and design it before it could be built up again. I bet there's a ton of math involved..."
complicatedliar: (Default)

[personal profile] complicatedliar 2013-07-05 04:13 pm (UTC)(link)
He laughed. "I'll do a bit of research. I don't see why I can't see to that myself."

Since that seemed to be what she was implying anyway...
touchofrogue: (She Smiles like This)

[personal profile] touchofrogue 2013-07-05 05:02 pm (UTC)(link)
"Alright," she teased with a grin. "If you think you're up to it..."
complicatedliar: (but don't lie to me)

[personal profile] complicatedliar 2013-07-08 02:08 pm (UTC)(link)
He gave her a Look. "My lady, are you... doubting my ingenuity?"

Dangerous, that.
touchofrogue: (Oh My My)

[personal profile] touchofrogue 2013-07-08 02:28 pm (UTC)(link)
"Never," she grinned. "But maybe your practicality."

After all, they'd have to build whatever he thought up. And it would have to hold.

He poked her lightly on the end of the nose with one finger. "I am immensely practical. I'm certain that must be one of the reasons you so like me."
touchofrogue: (I Make This Look Good)

[personal profile] touchofrogue 2013-07-08 07:08 pm (UTC)(link)
"Right," Rogue twitched her nose under his touch, still smiling. "That's the first thing I think of when I think of you. Practical. Practical Loki."
complicatedliar: (grin and a sideways look)

[personal profile] complicatedliar 2013-07-08 07:21 pm (UTC)(link)
"Heartlessly practical. Boring, even." He grinned.
touchofrogue: (That Reluctant Smile | Sly)

[personal profile] touchofrogue 2013-07-08 08:21 pm (UTC)(link)
"Oh yes," she smirked. "That's definitely in the top five things that come ta mind when I think about you."
complicatedliar: (GRIN!)

[personal profile] complicatedliar 2013-07-08 08:33 pm (UTC)(link)
"Right after handsome, I trust."
touchofrogue: (Oh My My)

[personal profile] touchofrogue 2013-07-08 10:48 pm (UTC)(link)
"Handsome?" Rogue tilted her head to the side and then grinned wickedly. "Maybe. After all, I have it on good authority that you're pretty studly."
complicatedliar: (wait what?)

[personal profile] complicatedliar 2013-07-10 03:19 pm (UTC)(link)
"...what?"

On good authority? Had she been talking to Kirk or something? "Good authority?"
touchofrogue: (The Smallest Smile of Innocence)

[personal profile] touchofrogue 2013-07-10 03:49 pm (UTC)(link)
"You heard me," or. well. not literally, but good enough. Rogue's lips parted in a cat's-found-the-cream smile,"Stud."

If he thought she was going to tell him who told her that, he had another think coming. This would be way too much fun to give up.
complicatedliar: (sideways glance)

[personal profile] complicatedliar 2013-07-10 05:04 pm (UTC)(link)
Deadpan: "Are you now planning to loan me out to service others for a fee? A bit more kinky than I normally go for, dearest."
touchofrogue: (Smirky McSmirkerston)

[personal profile] touchofrogue 2013-07-10 05:22 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh good Lord. Rogue stifled a blush, refusing to give him the satisfaction. She tilted her head, considering him, "I dunno. In a place like this, what would I even charge?"

Honestly. The day hadn't dawned where she was more kinky than he.
complicatedliar: (giggley)

[personal profile] complicatedliar 2013-07-10 07:21 pm (UTC)(link)
"Hm. It would have to be a high price. Stud stock as fine as me doesn't often come along."
touchofrogue: (Oh My My)

[personal profile] touchofrogue 2013-07-10 08:12 pm (UTC)(link)
Rogue snaked her arms around his neck and moved closer as if she was going to kiss him. She stopped several inches away from his lips, "Too bad no one's got anythin' worth trading here. Guess I'd better keep you for myself."
complicatedliar: (giggley)

[personal profile] complicatedliar 2013-07-10 08:19 pm (UTC)(link)
He grinned. "The hardship you suffer for my sake."
