Speed Dating Year 2

Who: Anyone who wants/is forced to come
What: Speed Dating!
When: Today (Saturday) afternoon-ish
Where: The Rec Center
Summary: Details here, Roster here!
Rating: PG/13/T/R/god I don't know there's too many people

[Much like last year, the rec center is decorated and freshly cleaned, with a plethora set up throughout the main floor. Each set includes a small table and two chairs facing each other. Along with number plates to help direct people to their partners, there is a small pile of coloured paper cards, stacked down, and pencils on every table.

Further back there is a collection of couches forming a lounging circle, as well as a couple of tables with drinks and snacks all set up and ready to be eaten. And yes, the fantastic rainbow cookies from the year before have made a reappearance. No doubt they'll disappear just as fast. The lounge area has a recycled sign from last year that says, "If you find yourself on a turn without a date, come hang out!", and this year, a new weird-looking potato man is hanging on the wall. ...But whatever.

All in all, the whole place looks ready for a big event, and when enough people have gathered - and the clock ticks to the agreed starting time - Teddy and Billy step forward to get things moving at last.]




Hey, hey! Announcement time here! Can everyone hear me? [...] All right, good!

So, some of you may remember this from last year. If you didn't come then, or if you're new, or happened to get roped into this by one of your friends, then on behalf of... uh...


[He glances down at Billy and, taking the cue, his partner speaks up.]

...We'll call the name a work-in-progress for now. Kurt says he's got it covered.

[His response is a raised eyebrow, because really, Kurt? But Teddy gets right back on track with a smile after that.] … Welcome to the second annualish speed dating event! I'm Teddy, this is my fiancé Billy, and we'll be your hosts for today. I know you just want to get started already, but unfortunately, we've got to go over the rules and stuff first. Everyone should have a list of numbers. When Billy gives the signal, everyone will head to the table with the first number on your list, where you'll either wait for or meet up with the person you're paired with. You'll both have five minutes to talk and get to know each other, for better or for worse, and leave with some sort of impression of them. Hopefully good, but can't win 'em all, right? After those five minutes, one of us will blow the whistle, and then you'll head to the table with the next number on your list. Repeat steps one through whatever, until we've reached the end! Hopefully by then, you'll have a new friend, a potential date, or hey, you might have just met the new love of your life!

[Teddy looks to Billy then, who speaks up next to him.]

The tables have conversation cards, in case you're not sure how to get things rolling, or if you're feeling shy- it has topic ideas, questions to ask your partner, whatever we could come up with. As you go through the list, try to give a little 'yes' or 'no' to the people you speak to- yes for wanting to see them again, no for it not being a good match. Once it's over just hand in your papers and we'll let everyone know - discretely, of course! - who gave and received a mutual yes. You don't have to wait for us, though- if you hit it off with someone really well and you both want to hang out right away, don't let us stop you. We have games and stuff set up over in the lounge area-

[He gestures to aforementioned lounge, complete with couches, a couple of tables, a stack of assorted games, and a snack and drink table.]

-Or you could just sneak off to keep yourselves entertained. We don't judge.

We totally do judge, just so you know.

[Billy elbows him. Gosh, boyfriend, behave.

Teddy just laughs a little, waving his hand as if to dismiss a joke.]


Okay, okay, we don't. Anyway, that's about it. We're going to give everyone one minute to get to the first table, then we'll blow the whistle and let everyone start. Thanks for coming, have a great time!

[They go back to sitting at their host table, and then, after the minute passes and everyone's settled, the whistle is blown. BEGIN!]


(( 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) MAKE AWESOME NEW CR FOR GREAT JUSTICE ))

[personal profile] niceguypose 2014-08-15 03:10 am (UTC)(link)
I supposed that in different ways... I have tried both here and in my own world! But the true time of romance for me... I am not sure if has truly come yet!
codenamexv: ([wink; silly me])

[personal profile] codenamexv 2014-08-17 02:18 am (UTC)(link)
[Some reason, he gets the smile of the Goddess.] Oh, I'm sure you'll know. Romance is like another obstacle. When you complete it, you'll know if you succeed or not.
niceguypose: (friendly)

[personal profile] niceguypose 2014-08-17 06:31 am (UTC)(link)
Really? That does sound very youthful! Then, I hope that I can overcome such an obstacle someday!
codenamexv: ([smile; understanding])

[personal profile] codenamexv 2014-08-21 04:05 am (UTC)(link)
If it helps, I'll give you a list of some really good manga to read.
niceguypose: (Default)

[personal profile] niceguypose 2014-08-21 04:07 am (UTC)(link)
Really? I would be grateful to have such a list! Thank you, Minako-san! I should give you a list of good books as well. [He tries to remember one of the kinds of books he's discovered through Luceti.] Hm... Are you familiar with romance novels?
codenamexv: ([oh; so what did he say])

[personal profile] codenamexv 2014-08-21 04:35 am (UTC)(link)
Anytime! I am, just haven't started to read the ones here. [Which is true. Mangas and curry are top priorities!]
niceguypose: (fiery wrath)

[personal profile] niceguypose 2014-08-21 04:36 am (UTC)(link)
Then... I shall make you a list in turn!!! For you, only the absolute best!
codenamexv: ([yay!; something exciting finally])

[personal profile] codenamexv 2014-08-21 09:57 pm (UTC)(link)
[These two....]

Absolute best it is!

[Has it been five minutes yet?]
niceguypose: (flexing)

[personal profile] niceguypose 2014-08-23 07:15 am (UTC)(link)
I am glad to reach this agreement! Let's both do our best!

[I don't know you decide!]
codenamexv: ([yah; i got this song])

[personal profile] codenamexv 2014-08-27 01:12 am (UTC)(link)
[/Hits it!/]

Right!

[And that's the sound of the bell.]

Aww, man.
niceguypose: (determination)

1/2

[personal profile] niceguypose 2014-08-27 01:25 am (UTC)(link)
[At the sound of the bell, Lee leaps to his feet.]

This date has ended! Thank you very much, Minako-san!
niceguypose: (kissu)

[personal profile] niceguypose 2014-08-27 01:26 am (UTC)(link)
[Then he starts to move but while still facing Minako; he offers her a wink and blows a kiss that will travel towards her in the form of a floating heart.

Then he dashes to the next table.]
codenamexv: ([oro?; not good])

[personal profile] codenamexv 2014-08-27 01:50 am (UTC)(link)
Mhm, thank you for your time. [Another head bow before he runs away.

OMG she can't decide whether to die or pass out! Ironic they have something like that in common. In the meantime, she waits for that heart to float near by until she is able to tap it with an index finger.]
