★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.

sorry for tagging in late - I was sick/not tagging, but back now!
[Please don't fear the skeleton, he's just bringing a plate full of quiche with the start of the next song.]
Which leads me to my first question! What is... your favorite restaurant meal?
it's ok I am even later ;;
[He doesn't fear the skeleton. If anything, he feels a bit sorry for whatever the man had been before his obvious changes. His transformation was certainly startling.]
I didn't bring anything but that does look good. [He resists asking how the other can taste it for the moment.] But I haven't ever eaten at restaurants before.
backtag party time
[Papyrus considers his plate, his eyesockets and cheekbones shifting as he frowns briefly at it.]
I didn't think to bring a second fork, or I would share.
no subject
At least the other... man? seems oddly charming and Asra smiles at the offer.]
I didn't want to bring any food to the table in case it was rude. But I'm sure we could find another fork if you did want to share. Or we could see about finding an actual restaurant here to visit some time.
What's your favourite food and drink? Do they have it here?
no subject
They don't tonight... But I've found milk at plenty of other places. As for food...
Hmm. What is my favorite food?
[He ponders it for a couple of seconds, before giving up on the mystery. Asra seems friendly, but he would surely rather they not spend the whole time with Papyrus puzzling over one question.]
Well, whatever it is, that's a nice idea! If this date goes well, we could go to a restaurant, and get something to drink. Maybe they even have milkshakes.
no subject
[He doesn't feel as though he's doing exactly well with small talk, but he's trying so that's something at least? And it is interesting to think of a skeleton, magical or not, drinking milk.]
no subject
[Just, in case his being a skeleton went unnoticed.]
But I haven't tried flavoring milk... What sorts of flavors?
[If nothing else, Papyrus takes to the topic with enthusiasm. They're getting to know each other, and that's the most important thing about this event.]
no subject
Hmm, well you said milkshakes, what kind of flavours do you like? But where I'm from we have a few different milk drinks. They can be flavoured with rose water or spices, and there's a few desserts that use a lot of milk too.
[He props his chin on a hand and smiles.] Have you ever had rice pudding? You can make it with milk and honey and spices.
