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 ))

[The phrase takes her a moment to get, but then she picks up on it.]

Ohh... I get it! Well, in that case, I guess that does fit for you then. [She laughs. Oh Masaomi...]

generalflirt: (Loyalty's Hand)

[personal profile] generalflirt 2013-07-12 01:14 am (UTC)(link)
You dislike me that much?!
moehealer: ("How about we all just live together?!")

[personal profile] moehealer 2013-07-12 07:39 pm (UTC)(link)
[oh nooo-]

N-no! It's not that... I mean, I do like you! [as a friend ofc] But t-that's... [making out wow masaomi]
generalflirt: (ARRRGH)

[personal profile] generalflirt 2013-07-13 09:34 pm (UTC)(link)
Aaaarrrgh, I knew it! Yellow-chan has a deeply hidden hatred for me?!

[And now some demented flailing. OF despair!!]
moehealer: (you know i'm a girl right)

[personal profile] moehealer 2013-07-15 12:38 am (UTC)(link)
[screee MASAOMI NO... NOW SHE FEELS BAD...]

I definitely don't hate you, Masaomi! I consider you a really good friend of mine, but I mean... [how does she even pUT THIS... MAKING OUT...??? what a revolutionary concept. she's only ever done so much as kiss a boy once and that was during an experiment over a year ago...]

[personal profile] generalflirt 2013-07-15 09:47 pm (UTC)(link)
So! You'd even say you like me?

[This is with an eyebrow arch as he recovers from the flail into a more easy position. There we go.]
moehealer: (elope reminds me of horses)

[personal profile] moehealer 2013-07-17 09:15 am (UTC)(link)
[what a recovery]

Huh? Well... Yeah, of course I do! [asafriend!!!] That shouldn't even be a question.
generalflirt: (I see what you did thar)

[personal profile] generalflirt 2013-07-18 05:32 am (UTC)(link)
So you like me, Yellow-chan! We've come so far!

[And he leans forward now. To lean over the table a little]
moehealer: (elope reminds me of horses)

[personal profile] moehealer 2013-07-21 03:37 am (UTC)(link)
W-well, yeah! As a friend, I mean...

[why are you leaning over the table you weirdo]
generalflirt: (Full Metal Panic)

[personal profile] generalflirt 2013-07-21 08:36 am (UTC)(link)
[HEAD FALLS.

Brutal]


Brutal, you're brutal, Yellow-chan!
moehealer: (008. W-wait it's not like that!)

[personal profile] moehealer 2013-07-24 04:13 am (UTC)(link)
H-huh? I-I'm sorry, Masaomi...

[THAT'S JUST HOW IT IS...]
generalflirt: (Surprisingly common face)

[personal profile] generalflirt 2013-07-26 09:37 pm (UTC)(link)
Mean, positively mean! Almost too mean, really!
moehealer: (004. E-eh?!)

[personal profile] moehealer 2013-07-31 12:17 am (UTC)(link)
H-huh? N-no, I didn't mean to be rude or anything... I mean, there's nothing wrong with being friends, is there...? [NOW SHE'S WORRIED...]

Besides, um... even if we are good friends, you have to know someone really well before liking them more than that, right?
generalflirt: Modified by <user name="saltprince"> (PM if you want me to take it down) (I know that you know-)

[personal profile] generalflirt 2013-08-02 06:24 am (UTC)(link)
[He flails for just a moment more before he smirks and then taps a fist which has a pointing finger on the table for-]

Then let's get to know each other! What's your dream date, Yellow-chan?!
moehealer: (What are you doing..)

[personal profile] moehealer 2013-08-05 05:55 pm (UTC)(link)
[masaomi you're so weird

but of course she's not opposed to getting to know each other

except

that question, what--]


O-okay! [That's... not exactly what she had in mind for getting to know each other, but...] Um... Well, I've never really thought of that before. But I guess I'd be fine with anything? I mean, the point is for us to hang out together and stuff, right?
generalflirt: (Is sly look)

[personal profile] generalflirt 2013-08-05 10:10 pm (UTC)(link)
Mmm. In a sense, yes, but if that were the case, I wouldn't want one so much.
moehealer: (blue did what)

[personal profile] moehealer 2013-08-05 10:23 pm (UTC)(link)
What do you mean by that?
generalflirt: Modified by <user name="saltprince"> (PM if you want me to take it down) (Then comes down...)

[personal profile] generalflirt 2013-08-07 01:10 am (UTC)(link)
Because you're missing two key components. Admittedly, the first goes without saying, but the second is "obligation." Not that a date should be stressful, of course not, but a date has to have a "spark" to it, or even a "time limit" to give it the special flavor it demands. Hanging out? That's too non-committal
moehealer: (elope reminds me of horses)

[personal profile] moehealer 2013-08-09 01:00 pm (UTC)(link)
Ohh...

[That... actually does make a little sense! But having a time limit seems a little lame, maybe...]

What kind of, um.. date... would you suggest then, Masaomi?
generalflirt: (Is sly look)

[personal profile] generalflirt 2013-08-10 05:19 am (UTC)(link)
Hmmm, for you? For you, Yellow-chan, my first thought is a walk, honestly.

[He smiles, a little lamely] Oh, I'd pick you a pretty destination, and I'd probably even find a poetic route - but a simple gesture in which I can hold your hand, knowing we're walking steadily towards the end? That short time, it would make any man's heart flutter.
