★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.

But I don't want to become comfortable relying on just that. In the future, I might be responsible for supporting someone else. I can't slack off now if I want to do that.

[Towa stares down at her drink a moment before taking another sip. Watching the liquid gently slosh around she finally speaks up.]
There are some people here that I want to protect. Friends that have done so much for me, even when I couldn’t really help them.
no subject
Your sentiment isn't lost on me. [ Scathach sighed, shaking her head. ] But even so, as a magus, it's your role to support, not to fight yourself. If you want to protect them, learn to do so with your own talents, not wishing for the skills of others.
[ She took a sip of her drink. ] Though, if it's all the same to you, lass, this doesn't seem like good 'date' conversation, does it? Not that I mind having it, but I doubt this is all you wished to talk about...
no subject
You’re right, I got a bit carried away. I’d like to know more about you as well.
[She hasn’t been on many things that could even be remotely considered dates, but she doesn’t feel completely at odds, thanks to the other woman’s willingness to talk with her. The alcohol doesn’t hurt either.]
Anything you feel like talking about really.
no subject
I also fancy music and dance. I've taught myself a few instruments over the years, but most of what I prefer is to see the fare smile of a dance partner as I see them get lost in a moment of bliss.
no subject
Wow... I know a little bit about music myself, but all I can do is sing. [More than that though--] But a dance like that... it sounds truly wonderful.
[Like the kind of thing you picture in fairytales-- certainly nothing she'd expect to experience in her life.]
no subject
[ Scathach wasn't satisfied to let that sort of thing only remain a dream or whim. She sipped her drink, leaning in close again to let Tama get a closer look at her own face, and see the sincerity there. ]
no subject
[Towa hadn't expected that-- but she can see in the woman's expression that it's not a mistake. Quickly, she takes another drink-- if she's going to do something embarrassing, it might help. Or make things worse, who knows.]
I'd be happy to.
no subject
Let's say we finish the rest of this bottle elsewhere, then, hmm? This doesn't particularly seem like a dancing crowd...
no subject
We'd probably make quite a scene.
[And she'd rather not draw that much attention.]
Alright. Where to?
no subject
[ Scathach was, 100%, suggesting they ditch on the rest of the little dating game. ]
no subject
Heehee-- it sounds wonderful. I'd love to go.

no subject
[It only takes her a few moments to pop up out of her seat and just a few seconds for her to push it back in, before she can catch up with Scathach and walk at her side.]
