Caritas- Saturday before 8:15 pm

It was that time of year again! New people were here! New people to date, get to know, or perhaps make a mortal enemy of!

You never know.

Signs were hung up in front of the bar, both obviously, and easy to miss for anyone who might wander in and get signed up without their knowledge. Above the bar was a banner (in glitter):

TONIGHT!
THREE MINUTE DATES!
GOOD LUCK WBRURBODY


Your hostess wasn't gonna question it. And a few minutes before 8:00, she took the stage.

"Hello, everyone! And welcome to 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 talk to this person, get to know their likes, their loves, their dreams. After three minutes, a buzzer will sound-" Pause for the sound. "-and you'll hear your name paired with a different person. Et cetera. 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. Have fun, and good luck..."

She trailed off, not going to attempt to pronounce the word on that sign.

Eddie had a sort of deer in the headlights look at being roped into this, Jaina. Sorry about that.

"Hi," he settled on, determined to just power through all this and not do anything silly like the last time he dated.

"Let me guess, you didn't count on this tonight," she said, a little amused.
justalittlerepressed: (crap they want me to open up)

"Not in the slightest," he said with a relieved little sigh that she wasn't offended. "I just wanted to get a beer."
solo_sword: (it's okay)

"This happens a lot," she assured him. "At worst, it's fifteen minutes. And then maybe you can talk Tino into two beers."

"I guess I could do to be more social," Eddie admitted. "I'm kind of a homebody."

Because kid. And because dating was a minefield.

"On purpose?" she asked.
justalittlerepressed: (do we have to?)

"...kinda, yeah. I've got a kid, is the thing." Which was important to put out there if anyone dated him.
solo_sword: (hearing you out)

"How old? I've got five-year-old twins," she said. Also a husband, which she should also get out there.

"Twelve," Eddie replied, fishing out the same photo he'd end up showing Raiden. And yes, it featured Buck with Chris at the zoo.

"He's obviously great," she said, producing her own holo of the boys with Jag, unfortunately probably too late in the date to answer questions like 'why is your picture a hologram?'
justalittlerepressed: (uh no)

"That is... holographic." Yes, Eddie. Thank you for noticing.
solo_sword: (maybe teasy)

"Yeah, it's from space," she said, in time for the bell to ring.
