★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.

Rich. Rich Goranski. Some sort of monster, but I don't know what yet.
[The scars are apparently not a transformation side effect.]
And how about you? What's your name?
no subject
[ She leans forward now, lacing her fingers together. ] So, Rich. What do I need to know about you?
no subject
Huh, I don't know. I'm a pretty normal high school student. Graduating this year, hopefully, but I might be held back because of a hospital stay last year. I'm bi, and I'm a huge gym rat. I like music and dancing a ton, and my friend's been trying to get me into theatre like she is. I'm a reformed nerd turned bully turned nerd again, so I'm just trying not to be a huge asshole.
[Also trying to figure out who he actually is, but details.]
Is that a good enough intro?
no subject
Yup. That's pretty damn thorough. [ She grins lightly. ] Wish I could counter yours with my own, but. [ She taps her temple. ] Amnesiac. I'm still trying to figure out what my interests are.
no subject
Still, he's been told he needs a bond, and a bond with anyone would be a huge help so he doesn't get violent.]
Ah. I get it. If it helps, I kinda lost two years to something messing with my head, so I get the whole not knowing who you are thing... Just start with the basics.
no subject
She raises her brows in mild surprise at Rich's admission. ]
No kidding. Sorry to hear that... But, let's see, if you want the basics... I know that I'm a scientist. Was a scientist. I used to be into neuroscience, but my interests slant more towards robotics these days...
[ She shrugs. That's honestly more information than she's given out to most people at this event so far. ]
no subject
Though the mention of her research does make him pause, his eye just barely twitching, and his finger tapping nervously on the table.]
Huh. That sounds interesting. I... don't suppose you ever heard of anyone mixing neuroscience and robotics, right? Like say making microchip implants...
[He doubts she would know, or have anything to do with that, but... he doesn't know if he'd be able to let it go without asking.]
You have no idea how much joy this brings me
Morgan... Stiffens. It's just for a moment, but it's undeniably there, a blip in her otherwise calm facade that she fails to effectively cover up. ]
Microchip implants? No. But the crossroads of robotics and neuroscience are-- Were... Something of a specialty of mine.
OH THIS IS BAD. THIS IS SO BAD...
So Rich folds his arms and narrows his eyes, tension vibrating in the air between them.]
And what exactly were you doing with this specialty? What were you planning on doing with it? What excuse do you have for fucking with someone's head?
LMFAOOOO
Actually, I was fucking with my own head, mostly. Transferring a map of my brain-- knowledge, memories, and personality. All of it into a robotic assistant. It's kind of the only reason I know anything about what happened to me over the last three years of my life.
no subject
Oh... shit. That sounds messed up.
[And in more of a way that Rich can relate to.]
I, uh, I'm really sorry I jumped to conclusions. It's a touchy subject for me.
[He rubs a hand over a scarred portion of his neck.]
no subject
Morgan shakes her head. ]
No, it's alright. Seriously. I've had way worse reactions.
[ To other things that she's done, that is. Ask anyone other than her brother and they'd probably say January is the least offensive thing she's ever used her scientific knowledge to make. ]
no subject
[He gives a little wry grin. Offering just a bit of trauma in exchange for hers. It's only fair after being an ass.]
no subject
[ Another bad dumb joke. She's also only half Chinese, but it doesn't seem relevant to nitpick that here.
Meanwhile, the music in the background is getting much faster. ]
Think we're running out of time. Anything else you wanna know?
no subject
[He laughs as well, shaking his head. Christine would probably hit him for that one.]
Oh, uh, damn, talk about anxiety inducing. What do you do for fun, then? We gotta talk about more than our luggage carts full of baggage.
no subject
Evidence suggests I used to like to play video games. [ More of that dry wit. ] Doesn't really hold much relevance here, though.
no subject
[If he could, he would have maybe invited her to hang out and try one. Not like. As a date, but Rich needs all the friendships he can manage, especially one with a witch.]
