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 ))

no subject
[At her question, he rests a hand on his chin and examines her face with them on.]
I don't think glasses really matters with that kind of stuff. Either way, you're still smart in my opinion.
no subject
W-Well, they help me concentrate on stuff, too...Anyway! Since we're here we should talk and get to know eachother as friends! I mean, now that I think about it, I don't really know all that much about you, huh?
no subject
No, I guess not, the same goes with me to you. I don't know anything that you're into or where you're from other than it's probably a bit about your world.
Okay, so, what do you want to know first though about me?
no subject
[She leans forward a little, interested.]
no subject
[It takes him a moment as he counts on his fingers all the things he likes to do. Her interest is dually noted and while he wants to totally embellish and go overboard with trying to sell himself as interesting, he knows that might not work all to well in his favour. So he tries to be as simple as possible.]
There's reading, I like to do that a lot both here and at home. But, I also like playing around with computers. Oh and there's the whole beating up bad guys thing. It's nothing too special but it passes the time, y'know?
What about you?
no subject
Well, in my free time, I like to bake and cook. Back home I listened to the radio a lot and watched a lot of-
[wait what was that last thing he said]
Did...Did you say you...go around beating up bad guys?
no subject
Uh, yeah. Didn't I tell you? I'm kind of a crime fighting guy...person. Hero to be specific.
[He would've thought it was obvious at least in the draft with how he never stuck around the medic camp where all the other non combatants were.]
no subject
...
That's so cool!
no subject
Here he is, preening his feathers a bit in a matter of speaking. A small smirk comes on his face as he shrugs nonchalantly.]
Well, yeah, I guess it's pretty cool. All I'm doing is just doing what's right, that's all. There's really nothing to it.
[Even if there were more selfish reasons for the hero gig too.]
no subject
[The kind of difference she only wishes she could make.]
Oh god these two.
I'm just doing what I can, Pils. Anyone can do it if they really want to. You just gotta be smart about it first. I'm sure you could do it too!
These two, indeed.
[Even if it never seems like quite enough. But it's probably better to keep these kinds of complaints to herself. She smiles, a little sheepishly.]
I really just try to do what people need me to! When you don't have a lot of skills, that's probably the best thing to do, right?
no subject
Though I can get if you're okay with doing what you're doing already. So long as you do your best it's all that matters.
[If only he could follow his own advice.]
But, like I said, you can always get more skills. I mean, we've got all the time in the world here really.
no subject
But I guess you're right about learning more skills. Like how I've been learning first aid! ...I...I guess we really do have all the time in the world...
[Though that in itself worries her.]
no subject
no subject
no subject
[And he's assuming things again. Great. Way to be self.]
So, how come you want to be a baker?
no subject
[Even if her motivation for making people happy was less just for the sake of doing so and more for the purpose of getting people to like her. She laughs sheepishly.]
...That probably sounds like, totally cheesy or something though, doesn't it?
