Three Minute Dates- Caritas- Saturday until 8:15 pm

Caritas sort of looked like a Party City threw up, because Tino had offered to do the decorating. Of course there were balloons, streamers, glitter though it was hard to tell where it was supposed to have come from, confetti on the tables, and a butcher block banner up over the stage with "THREE MINUTE DATES" written in what was maybe paint? It sort of looked like puff paint but that had to be way too much work, right? Right?

A couple minutes before 8:00, Kitty took the stage with the zombies playing her on, and she shushed them to stop. "Hello and welcome to another Three Minute Dates!" she greeted them. "You know how this goes, unless you don't. Your names will be called into pairings every three minutes. You get together, you talk, the buzzer sounds, you go to your next table. If three minutes isn't enough time, maybe hang around a little, scope them out at the bar. And if you hate it, you just have to last five sets of three minutes, I believe in you."

She wasn't sorry if Tino signed any of you up. She was sorry for the letter banner he'd strung up over the bar reading "Have Good Banging," which was terrible English and odds were excellent that it did not stay up all night.

Okay, but he had been very dashing when he'd rescued her. All three times thus far. And very sweet. And he had great arms. And he--wait, did Lydia really want the list?

Besides, she was trying to get over that, since Cal was so completely uninterested in her.

"Oh!" Arden said. "Gray's taking me to an assembly next weekend! ...Sorta. A very, uh. Modern one."

Lydia would burst into mortified flames just stepping into the place, Arden was pretty sure.

Have you considered needing rescuing less, Arden? Wait. You're an urban fantasy heroine. Silly question.

"Oh!" Lydia exclaimed back. "What fun! I don't believe I know Gray for some mysterious reason. Is he the one who's asleep all the time and dresses like a sack of laundry?"

Right? And she wasn't even a full-on urban fantasy heroine yet! So she had all of the damseling and none of the skills!

"That's him!" Arden said. "He's cursed, so he falls asleep a lot." That was how he'd explained it to her at last year's 3MD, so she figured that was fair game to share, when she wasn't willing to get into 'Nephilim' or 'Avatar of Sloth' on his behalf. "He was one of the first people I met here."

"Oh," Lydia said. "That sounds...unpleasant." She was now mildly regretting judging him when she had to step over him in the halls of the dormitory. "I had wondered, with all the sleeping," she admitted.

"Yeah, sometimes it happens in the middle of a conversation and then best you can do is try to help him down so he doesn't, like, slam his head on something."

Definitely gonna have to start keeping a Squashmallow and a blanket for him in the library.

"He's been dealing with it his whole life, so he's figured out how to work around it as much as he can, so...whaddaya gonna do, you know?"

"Oh, that does sound unpleasant," Lydia said. "We all have our trials to bear, I suppose." Lydia's was witchcraft!

Arden's was...a lot.

"Well, except for us," Arden said. "We're perfect."

"Yes, of course," Lydia agreed. "That goes without saying."
