★FIRST EVER WITCH & MONSTER SPEED DATING!
Who: All the people who signed up for Speed Dating!
When: Aguril 10th, 7PM-11PM
Where: The Little Melody music hall, side room.
What: Steven has organized a speed dating event for witches and monsters to meet each other. This log is closed to helpers and people who have signed up on the OOC event post.
Warnings: Good clean fun. Hopefully.
Finally, the day arrives. Steven will have contacted everyone coming by watch in advance, giving them the venue information and confirming their arrival. It turns out that he has arranged for a side room in the Little Melody music hall to be used for this event - he's made a positive enough impression with some of them that he managed to get it without charge, in exchange for doing chores around the hall. It's a somewhat ornate music room with a piano, chairs along the walls, 10 tables set up for dates, and one larger table set up with a potluck 'buffet' or sorts.
The offerings definitely include at least one quiche and one pie, provided by Papyrus, complete with a little note card thanking him and a description of what each food is. Papyrus's pies are actually pretty okay, even if the crust is a little crispy in places. Alongside that is water, a couple types of juice, and four trays of sandwiches: ham with cheese, chicken salad, egg salad, and veggie. Beyond that, Steven will display anything people bring with them, and write up little note cards to go along with the others.
Each table is set up with a lit candle and a sheet with a series of 'Icebreaking Questions', which read as follows:
1) What would you take with you to a desert island?
2) If you had to be someone else for a day, who would you be and why?
3) If you could invite anyone, dead or alive, to dinner, who would it be?
4) If you could live anywhere in the world, where would it be?
5) What would be your ideal holiday destination?
6) What's the most reckless thing you've ever done?
7) What makes you laugh?
8) Do you have a party trick?
9) If you could be granted three wishes, what would they be?
10) What time in history would you have liked to be born in and why?
11) What is the most adventurous thing you have ever done?
12) What would be the title of your biography?
13) What is your favourite restaurant meal?
14) If you were given 1,000,000 cunes what would you spend it on?
Of course, using these questions is optional. Each date will last FIVE MINUTES, during which Steven and Elliot will be playing music to accompany on piano and violin. Towards the end of the five minute period, they will ramp up the tempo a bit to indicate that you are almost done, and then stop to tell people to change tables. During the whole proceeding, Steven will be projecting a sort of ambient illusion over the room, making the roof look like twinkling stars and leaving impossible to touch sparkles in the air.
OOCLY, I have made top levels below for every participating character, indicating who they have been randomly selected to tag. ICly, all witches will presumably have the chance to talk to all monsters, but since it isn't realistic to expect everyone to do 10 threads, we are starting with two tag outs. Beyond that, you can tag out to any additional people that you like. Find you character's name down below, see who you are assigned to tag (and who you have been tagged by!) and start a thread as soon as you are able. I understand that life happens and not all of these threads will happen, but it would be really cool if they could! I recommend keeping tags short and light to ease the load - and also because that seems suited to Speed Dating, anyway.
After the dating session is over, you can also make general mingle threads of people hanging out afterwards. The dating will only take about an hour, and Steven has the venue booked until 11PM.
NOTE: When you have an idea how your threads are going, please fill out the Google Form to submit your character's grades for each date. This is mostly just so you can have the fun of seeing who would formally approve of and reject your character.

Hi there. Got any good party tricks? I'll show ya mine if you show me yours.
sorry for the late reply, i wasn't tagging this last week due to being sick. back in the game now!
Uh! Well! I used to have some great ones... But now I don't have any magic, and they're just not the same. Do yours need magic?
no worries!
[ He put a hand out, palm up, as if to say 'no magic here'. ]
Just a little sleight of hand.
[ Aaaand then gave a little flourish, brandishing a newly appeared silver coin between his fingers. ]
Things got a little slow sometimes, back at the Grand.
o/\o
Oh! Slick fingers, I didn't see how you moved it there.
[He glances for signs of coins up sleeves, then sits back again, more relaxed.]
I know it's against the rules to just explain the trick... Could you do it again? And tell me, the Grand what?
[Maybe it's just 'the Grand', but that sounds strange.]
no subject
[ He repeated the trick; probably some kind of palming was involved, though he switched up his hands so that it was a little hard to tell. ]
But thanks. Maybe if I ever stop bein' a witch, I can still make a living on the side, running birthday parties.
So ya used to do magic, huh?
no subject
Loads of magic! With skill and grace you wouldn't believe.
I could give the Captain of the Royal Guard a run for her money, when we sparred!
[Papyrus gestures in the air for a moment, miming shapes ducking and weaving around him, then sighs.]
It's a shame I wasn't turned into a witch... I'll have to figure out whole new tricks. At least you'll always have birthday parties.
no subject
Captain of the guard, huh? Sounds like some challengin' practice.
But now that ya mention it, I kinda feel like bein' a monster might have suited me a little more. Little closer to what I used to be.
[ He put up his hands, though, as if to say 'what could you do'? ]
Other than missing the magic, how're you finding monsterdom so far?
no subject
Oh, I was always a monster. A skeleton monster, through and through... Though, that's a different thing.
[Papyrus is a little baffled by the comment about being a monster, and doesn't hide the confusion from his face - Majima sure looks human to him.]
I can't say I've enjoyed the full moons so far. But maybe this one will be better, with a bond!
[In a funny coincidence of timing, a friend offered to bond with him just a few days ago - before this event but after he signed up.
Were you something else before?
no subject
[ He smiled a little, wryly. ]
Been called that before, but I was a hundred percent human. It's just that I used to be a lot tougher, and without magic.
[ Look, it was complicated. Sometimes, you just came from a universe where a dude could take four shots point blank to the abdomen and still have the energy to keep trucking. ]
But that was then, and this's now. It's weird... I don't remember looking to sign up to a speed-datin' service, Bonding-related or otherwise.
