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 ))

Oh, you got it! I'm having a blast here! What's to hate? There's cute girls in front of me every five minutes, this moment included.
ribbonbon: (Aw gee)

[personal profile] ribbonbon 2013-07-06 06:20 am (UTC)(link)
[There's a little bit of sputtering as her cheeks go just a little pink at that "cute" remark. Is he one of those guys her dad always warned her about? Is this what being hit on is like? Not that she would know as she's never had a guy talk to her quite like this before, but...]

I-I've never actually sat down and really talked to a lot of guys like this. I went to a girl's school back home, so...
generalflirt: (Do you--)

[personal profile] generalflirt 2013-07-06 05:33 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh really...! A sheltered blue flower, waiting for a chance to blossom? That's the stuff of fairy tales and young men's dreams.

[He says this with a faux attentive nod, still leaning forward now, but looking a bit less pose-ridic]
ribbonbon: (Wh-What...?)

[personal profile] ribbonbon 2013-07-07 02:51 am (UTC)(link)
[Aaaand she's leaning back just a bit because what. She answers him, flustered and a little bit indignant.]

Wh...Huh? I-I'm not sheltered! I just didn't talk to a lot of guys! And I'm not...like "waiting to blossom" or whatever. I'm like, almost an adult! Like, seriously...!
generalflirt: (COOL STORY BRO)

[personal profile] generalflirt 2013-07-07 02:56 am (UTC)(link)
Well then as an adult...!

[And he gives a thumbs up now-] How about we go to a different venue and embrace our adulthood?
ribbonbon: (Huh)

1/2

[personal profile] ribbonbon 2013-07-07 04:39 am (UTC)(link)
[Give her a second, Masaomi, she's trying to process just what he's saying here.]
ribbonbon: (Horribly Embarassed)

2/2

[personal profile] ribbonbon 2013-07-07 04:40 am (UTC)(link)
Wh-wh-WHAAAAT?!

[She practically jumps up out of her chair, face red.]

Who do you think you are?! Wh-what kind of girl do you think I am?! Omigod you're such a total creep! I can't even believe this...!

[She's gonna go on like this until she's stopped and she's probably falling just short of causing a scene.]
generalflirt: (The Second Raid)

[personal profile] generalflirt 2013-07-07 04:42 am (UTC)(link)
[Oh my everything that was probably too much, but he can't help it. That totally teased her perfectly. He bursts out laughing as she reacts, and ends up flopping forward to head-table, laughing into the table]
ribbonbon: (angry)

[personal profile] ribbonbon 2013-07-07 06:15 am (UTC)(link)
[When he starts laughing, it causes Pilouette to pause mid-hissyfit because that's not quite what she expected. She slams her palms on to her side of the table and scowls.]

Wh-What are you laughing at?! You think this is funny or something?! Like, what even is your deal?!
generalflirt: Modified by <user name="piconz"> (PM if you want me to take it down) (And then We're go)

[personal profile] generalflirt 2013-07-07 09:17 pm (UTC)(link)
Sorry, sorry! I was teasing you, a little.


[And he lifts one hand, waving it a little dismissively to try to diffuse this]
ribbonbon: (geez...)

[personal profile] ribbonbon 2013-07-08 03:22 am (UTC)(link)
[Her face still red, Pilouette sits down. After a moment, her shoulders slump and she puts her hands over her face.]

Omigod, I just made a total dweeb of myself. I bet everybody heard that, too.
generalflirt: (Amp to Eleven)

[personal profile] generalflirt 2013-07-08 08:32 pm (UTC)(link)
I hope not, I wouldn't want the creeper rep.

[His bad. His bad... probably]
ribbonbon: (pout)

[personal profile] ribbonbon 2013-07-09 05:30 am (UTC)(link)
[She pouts childishly, glaring at him.]

Well, maybe you deserve it. Do you do this to everyone or was this like a special case or whatever?
generalflirt: (Gonna Let 'Em Fly)

[personal profile] generalflirt 2013-07-09 06:22 am (UTC)(link)
Honestly, you just looked so cute I couldn't help myself.
ribbonbon: (pout)

[personal profile] ribbonbon 2013-07-11 06:47 am (UTC)(link)
[She gets a little more flustered at that "cute" remark and her frown deepens a bit as she nervously plays with her ponytail.]

Y-you can stop teasing me now, you know! Who teases a girl because they think she's c...cute, anyway?
generalflirt: (From Complexes)

[personal profile] generalflirt 2013-07-11 03:34 pm (UTC)(link)
Alright, alright. I probably outgrew that sort of teasing a while ago, anyway. [This is with a little hand wave which leads into his hand being set down, fingertips down and arched like a spider or something, on the table between them]

Which of course means I'm just mature enough for the lady of your caliber. Pilouette That's a very melodious name. Foreign, to my ears! But that's fitting, given your golden locks.
ribbonbon: (Are you sure?)

[personal profile] ribbonbon 2013-07-13 10:19 pm (UTC)(link)
[After the bit of excitement that just took place, Pilouette is little more prepared, though she's still trying to deal with Masaomi's blatant flirting. She's still not quite sure that he's actually stopped teasing her.]

G...Golden locks? Like, are you for real right now? Geez, you sound like you're quoting some movie or something...!
generalflirt: Modified by <user name="saltprince"> (PM if you want me to take it down) (This is my plot face)

[personal profile] generalflirt 2013-07-13 10:21 pm (UTC)(link)
Movies wish that they were as smooth as me.
ribbonbon: (Can you not)

[personal profile] ribbonbon 2013-07-14 04:58 am (UTC)(link)
Maybe, but at least movies are supposed to sound unrealistic...
generalflirt: Modified by <user name="piconz"> (PM if you want me to take it down) (Cheeeesu)

[personal profile] generalflirt 2013-07-15 09:26 pm (UTC)(link)
So you'd say that I'm so handsome I have to be fictional? A noble and charming prince here to sweep you off your feet?
ribbonbon: (Hmph)

[personal profile] ribbonbon 2013-07-16 05:15 am (UTC)(link)
Th-That's not what I said at all!

[She can't help but feel like his behavior is kind of familiar in an irritating sort of way...She can't quite pinpoint it, though.]

You're definitely not like any Prince Charming I've ever read about! I-It takes more than a bunch of dumb lines to "sweep me off my feet" or whatever, you know!
generalflirt: (It goes up...!)

[personal profile] generalflirt 2013-07-16 08:00 pm (UTC)(link)
No doubt! [There's a little finger moment here which may or may not be a "let it be" motion before he brings that back to the table] But in light of that, I'm curious. Maybe you could tell me more about yourself.
ribbonbon: (I need to think about this)

[personal profile] ribbonbon 2013-07-18 07:40 am (UTC)(link)
O-Oh...that's kind of what this whole thing is for, isn't it? Well...

[She takes a second to think, unsure of where to start. As far as she's concerned, she's not especially interesting. Plus, given how this has gone so far, she's not sure how much she feels like saying.]

I'm seventeen...and I've been here for a little more than a year and a half. Um...I was born in France, but I was raised in the US. What else, what else...?
generalflirt: Modified by <user name="piconz"> (PM if you want me to take it down) (And then We're go)

[personal profile] generalflirt 2013-07-19 05:00 am (UTC)(link)
Mmm. Well, to be fair - I'm nineteen and been here for almost three, now. Born and raised in Japan.
ribbonbon: (Oh...)

[personal profile] ribbonbon 2013-07-19 07:49 am (UTC)(link)
[Now that she thinks about it, she's met a lot of people from Japan here. She wonders for a moment if that's a coincidence, but decides to put that aside for now.]

Three years...so when you got here, you were the same age I was when I arrived. I'd ask if you're used to this place by now, but...well, I don't think it's possible to like, ever really get used to it, you know?
