Caritas- Saturday before 8:15 pm

Come one, come all! It was time for everyone's some people's favorite event, maybe!

TONIGHT!
THREE MINUTE DATES!!!


The bar was open before the dates, and maybe you hung out. Maybe you mingled. Maybe you signed up. Maybe you'd be surprised when Tino or someone else signed you up against your will! But regardless, a few minutes before 8 pm, Kitty hopped onto the stage, which was bedecked in a red sparkly curtain that someone had probably gotten on Amazon for $6!

"Hello, everyone! And welcome to this installment of Three Minute Dates!" Kitty greeted them. "If you're new to this, the rules are simple. We call your name along with one other person. You get three minutes to get to know that person. After three minutes, a buzzer will sound-" Pause for the sound. "-and you'll hear your name paired with a different person. If there is anyone you'd like to talk to more, the bar will be open afterwards for drinks and conversation. Remember that any violence will get you transported into the pond, but also please don't attempt violence in order to flee, that is rude to the rest of your dates. Now I'm going to get off the stage. Everyone have fun tonight!"

Or like, at least attempt it.


[Please hold for an obscene amount of OCD posted while babysitting! OCD is up! A regular bar post will go up later on Saturday. If I spelled anything wrong, it's because none of your characters' names make sense to me anymore.

It had actually started as a way to make herself sound more badass, but she wasn't going to admit that. "Because I go on the digs that all the other archeologists are too -" smart "- scared to. The dangerous, the obscure, the forbidden."

Sometimes with all the proper paperwork, because the amount of things that were next to worthless if you couldn't prove provenance...

Well, if the intention was to sound impressive and badass, it was working, and very well. At least for Amaya, it was, although she was admittedly pretty easy to impress when it came to adventurey things.

"Sounds like my kind of a archaeology!" she remarked. "I'm sure, then, with a racket like that, you've probably got at least a few exciting tales in there that could fit comfortable into three minutes!"

Sure, sure, not a lot of time leftover for a pitch, but honestly, sometimes, you just had to work up to it!

"Oh, well, I couldn't possibly..." Aphra, who exactly were you trying to fool here. "I mean, well, there was this one time that I defeated the technoghost of an insane Jedi."

"Technoghost?" Amaya squinted a little to try to think of how that worked. "And how insane are we talking here? Creepy cursed tower where kidnappings are definitely happening on a regular basis insane? Or more...tendancy to push a lot of people into cauldrons insane? Oh! Or maybe secretly hording treasures that have no business being horded insane? I'll bet it's actually that one, isn't it, what with the acheaology involved."

"Uploaded his consciousness into a crystal and promptly started murdering people insane, it was very daring and dangerous defeating him."

She'd unplugged him, but getting to the button had been very risky.

"It certainly sounds like it would have been!" said Amaya, although, really, with crystals, it could be kind of one way or the other, couldn't it? Some of that stuff didn't mess around, but then you had crack alchemists like the Hobblepots with their 'mood crystals' that were supposed to bring clarity or keep toxins out of your feet or something like that. "How did you manage to pull it off?"

Though it would appear as though Aphra might be saved from the details by the sounding of the bell at the end of the round, and Amaya gave it an annoyed look.

"Zards," she murmured, "always when it starts getting good, too!"
