Event: Speed Dating!

[kiaxet]

The lights are low, and there are several long rows of two-person tables set up in the largest dining room. That's right: it's time for speed dating!

Pick a seat, any seat. You'll have five minutes to talk to the person across from you about anything and everything and possibly hit it off before the bell rings and you'll move one seat to the right to start the process all over again. Hopefully, by the end of the night, you'll have found at least one person you'd like to get to know better. Get a drink from the bar and feel free to flag down a server for some snacks, loosen those lips, and get to talking. Good luck!

[Post will be open to anyone: feel free to start your own subthread or to tag into other people's subthreads. I'll also start up a bar thread for pre/post event (though it'll need a bartender, if anyone wants to volunteer). Feel free to ping me if you have any questions and have a good time!]

Ivan Karelin | Tiger and Bunny (waiter AU)

[papershuriken]

[Ivan was coming here to work. Suddenly, he's wrapped up in all this, and he's not even sure how it happened. He's probably one of the more awkward looking people here, sipping from a bottle of water. What are social skills?]

[timeywimeyorb]

[Setsuna took a seat across from the nervous looking gentleman. Offering him a small smile]

I'm guessing you're also not comfortable with these things?

[papershuriken]

I-I-I don't know how I got here...

[Does that answer the question?]

[timeywimeyorb]

O-oh.

[Her expression softens]

Are you all right? If you're lost, this is just a dating game. I'm sure others would understand if you left.

Gumi | Vocaloid (Poker Face)

[demondealergirl]

[Gumi is here for the food and the chance to practice her people skills. She may not be giving truthful answers or maybe she will be.]

[rockinbrolin]

[Bolin slips into the chair across from her. He looks pretty confident]

Hey there. Name's Bolin. Having a good time so far?

Pfff I was planning on tagging him with Gumi XD

[demondealergirl]

[She smiles and leans in a bit]

It's a pleasure to meet you Bolin. I'm Gumi, and if anything, the arrangement of snacks is quite nice. However, it's too early to say how the night's been thus far.

Kaldur'ahm | Young Justice

[barefootbadass]

[Not sure how he got wrapped into this. He imagines it has something to do with his team convincing him he needs to do more than sit around the cave working on cases.]

[dashingrainbow]

Yo! [just a Pony sitting here, no biggie, right?]

[barefootbadass]

[He looks curious, but, well, it is not the strangest he has encountered...well, perhaps a little. He nods]

Hello.

Bolin | Avatar: Legend of Korra

[rockinbrolin]

[Oh yeah, speed dating. Bolin slicked his hair back, just to be sure, but he was very confident about this working out in his favor. Because, come on, what lady WOULDN'T want a piece of Bolin?]

Clint Barton | Avengers/Marvel movies

[rainingarrows]

[Clint hadn't done anything like this before. He usually chalked it up as a little bit desperate.

Yet, here he was. Sitting at one of the tables waiting for some girl or other to talk to him.

Not the best plan. But at least the drinks were cheap.]

[big_whale_hunter]

Okay, you better not waist my time, Clint. my name is Samantha, but call me Sam or I'll twist your balls. Got it? I deal with men who drop more money when they poo then you will ever have in a life time so why should I get to know you?

[rainingarrows]

[Well SOMEONE is right to the point]

Not one to beat around the bush, Sam.

Well, sure, I'm no Tony Stark but SHIELD does pay pretty well. [Not the point dude. He shakes his head]

Dunno, by your tone it sounds like you've already settled on your decision of me.

Setsuna Meioh | Sailor Moon

[timeywimeyorb]

[An elegant looking woman sits with a glass of wine at a table. She looks slightly nervous but is actually pretty good at hiding it. She tucks some hair behind her ear and waits for someone to approach.

She was going to blame this entire night on Michiru and Haruka, to be sure...at least if it went badly.]

Bela Talbot | Supernatural

[onsilksheets]

[Bela is hoping that she won't regret this because it really isn't her thing. Still, she's dressed for the part and looks incredible (if she says so herself).

She's sitting down at the table, a smile on her face and a drink in hand, ready for the first guy that comes along.]

Peggy Carter | Captain America

[agtcarter]

[Peggy is going to kill whoever signed her up for this event. She seems bored and uninterested, but at least she looks good.]

Sam | Las Vasgas

[big_whale_hunter]

Mako | The Legend of Korra

[probends]

[Whyyyyyyy was he here again? He could care less about finding a date. He needed to be training. Stupid Bolin, this was all his fault.]

[mrlivingskull]

[So. White Top Restaurant. A lucky find, and not too shabby either. We might just have us a new place to relax.
And just in time for this "speed dating" thing, too. He's done a fair bit in his time sailing the universe, but this's a first. Could be a fun new experience.

Let's see what tonight brings.]

[demondealergirl]

[She eyes him. Well, he seems a bit familiar though she can't place why just yet]

Hey there. ^_^

[mrlivingskull]

[Welp, everyone else is just grabbin' chairs, so I guess that means we do the same! And he does just that, taking the seat across from Gumi.]

Good evenin'.

When did I get here?]
