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 ))

"Maybe"?

[How can you not know? Is she that absentminded? Or just forgetful?]

Does that mean I'm the first person you meet?
lostinmyway: (Does that sound right?)

[personal profile] lostinmyway 2013-07-15 02:00 pm (UTC)(link)
[Aaaaaaaaand she's getting visibly more confused by the minute.]

Do you think that's right?
de_bel_survivor: (Hm)

[personal profile] de_bel_survivor 2013-07-17 07:50 am (UTC)(link)
Considering the time right now...it's probably unlikely that I'm your first. [They probably have enough time to meet a few other people before they matched up.] Unlikely, but not impossible.
lostinmyway: (Small happiness.)

[personal profile] lostinmyway 2013-07-20 01:39 pm (UTC)(link)
[Okay, this is getting really confusing--for her, anyway. Grune is just going to sort of abandon that thought.]

Well, no matter what, I'm very pleased to meet you. My name is Grune. What's your name?

[Grune, there are nametags, you know....]
de_bel_survivor: (Smile > :))

[personal profile] de_bel_survivor 2013-07-25 12:08 am (UTC)(link)
[Who cares about nametags, some people prefers introducing themselves.]

I'm Kouki. It's nice to meet you, Miss Grune. Or just Grune is okay?
lostinmyway: (Small happiness.)

[personal profile] lostinmyway 2013-07-26 10:52 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh, Grune is just fine.

Who have you met so far?
de_bel_survivor: (Hm)

[personal profile] de_bel_survivor 2013-07-29 12:33 am (UTC)(link)
I've met...Asami, Tsuzuki, Loki, Twilight Sparkle and Asbel so far. Do you know any of them?
lostinmyway: (Cozy Big Sister.)

[personal profile] lostinmyway 2013-07-31 02:12 pm (UTC)(link)
Yes, I know almost everyone! Tsuzuki is a sweet boy, and Loki is such a nice young man. Twilight Sparkle is in the SOS Brigade and she does a very good job, and Asbel is a wonderful friend to Richard. I just know you'll make each other very happy.

[Grune, this is starting to sound a bit like relationship territory.]
de_bel_survivor: (Smile > :))

[personal profile] de_bel_survivor 2013-08-01 12:48 am (UTC)(link)
[Yeah. Plus he's only asking for girls for romance. Guys are strictly friendship only for this.

...And it kinda sound like she doesn't mind if he hook up with a lot of people.
]

Hahah, I hope so! Even if we couldn't make it work, we can still be friends.

[Debatable in Loki's case, tho.]
lostinmyway: (Quiet cheer.)

[personal profile] lostinmyway 2013-08-18 01:47 pm (UTC)(link)
[Why would she mind when they would all be so happy together? ?_?]

That's right. Even if somebody isn't your special someone, that doesn't mean you can't have a wonderful relationship with them anyway.
de_bel_survivor: (Derp > Smile)

[personal profile] de_bel_survivor 2013-08-19 08:51 am (UTC)(link)
[Not everyone's open to polygamy or harems or any variations of it.

...Wait, since he's a demon king, he can have one. :|a
]

Uh huh. It's why I don't mind coming along to this, since what's the worst that could happen?

[Well, a fair number of things.]

You don't mind if we give this a go, or stick to being friends?
