Hey out there, Luceti. Are we all more or less ourselves again? Pretty sure we are, uh... here's hoping.

Considering how crazy things have been lately, Teddy and I were talking, and we think it'd be a good time to run this. We all need a break. So courtesy of the LGBTQQA Club - um, I'm tentatively calling it "Alliance", for the sake of minimizing all the abbreviations, better name possibly pending - I'm happy to introduce: Luceti's first-ever (I think) Speed Dating.

If you don't know what speed dating is, it's pretty much exactly how it sounds. The idea is we'd all get together, pair up, you'd talk to someone you might not have talked to before for about ten minutes, and then afterwards decide how you liked it and if you want to see them again. First impressions count for a lot, and sometimes that's all it takes to find your true love or your new best friend.

We're going to run it next weekend - Saturday afternoon, we figure is a good time - and sign-ups are starting now so we'll have time to pair everyone up. Anyone can participate, not just club members or people in the LGBT spectrum, and you're not obligated to do anything if you don't like it. So why not give it a shot? ...And we'll have cookies. Teddy's making them and the recipe looks amazing. Anyone else want to bring some food and stuff? We can have a table for contributions...

Um, anyway. I'll be over by the plaza today, and on the journal network, too, if you've got any questions or if you want to sign up.

[The above message is also written out (albeit less informally). And there's a table with posters and some forms in the plaza, near the school, all day. Billy's just hanging out and drawing the passerbys while he waits, if anyone wants to chat him up about it in person.]

((ooc sign-ups here!))

Ah...

[That was kind of sweet. Makie can't help but smile.]

Well, I thank you for saying so. I suppose it's more accurate to say that I'm... already tied to another. It's interesting to see, but not something I feel right making use of.

You did not! You didn't think that at all!

Trust me, you're not alone there. It's scary how much we've just gotten used to it over the years.

Um- well there's lots of farming and shops for food. And we get food brought in from areas of the country more suited for growing it. That's just one small part of my world, and there's people living all over the rest of it. Importing and exporting is a big thing where I come from.

Here, knock yourself out.

[Billy passes the form over, trying not to look too obvious about watching; he really just wants to know the name that'll make it onto the page.]

Great! Looking forward to it, the more the merrier and all that.

Shockingly, we don't get commissions for recruitment.

But if she did, what would you do about it?

[Nyah nyah nyah]

Um. [Yes, he gathered that.] Do you know why? Is this new, or has it been going on for a while?

"Most of them." [Pfft, Zatanna. He waves her off, though, leaning back in his chair and smiling faintly.] Okay, okay, I'll trust you. Hopefully something interesting'll happen, if nothing else.

[No browns, huh. Sounds solid enough. Kate had eyeballed that brown hoodie he'd stolen from Teddy back home.]

I think I can manage that. My mains are red and black, though. Best of both worlds?

And I'd never say no to a shopping trip.

I will never be ashamed or apologetic of Broadway. And I'm offended on behalf of that wonderful musical that you'd even think of comparing it to Wheels on the Bus.

Thank god you don't, then. I don't think I could handle that kind of competition. ...Not gracefully, anyway.

Well... if you're worried about it being strictly romantic, we're also gonna use it as a way for people to meet and make friends.

Ultimately, it's up to you, though.

[Oh. Hnn. That gives her pause just a little longer.]

Well... it does sound interesting. I'll think on it and let you know.

That must take a lot of farms. [She shakes her head.] I can't even begin to imagine living in a place that big. But that kind of dating definitely makes sense in a place like that.

Good. I was just checking. I'm sure everyone will get along just fine!

You'd have to tattoo my forehead in a way that actually makes it stick. "Property of Billy Kaplan". That way they'd know to back off before they even try.

It comes and goes. He doesn't deal well with stress. [He slumps further.] I don't know what to do for him.

[There was a brief moment of silence that weight heavily on the other line. If the video was active, Billy would have seen those blue eyes narrow for a second before Cliff shook his head.]

And this is exactly why I can't stand it when the political big dogs have gotta fight. Everyone catches the flak.

Good choices. Blue and grey would also work for you, and most brighter colours.

[She grins.]

You might regret saying that to a shopaholic like me, Billy. Just warning you now.

Don't tell me what I did or didn't think! It's my head, not yours!

Fair enough. You know where to find me if you change your mind.

I'm getting deja vu. Have we talked about this before? Obviously that's a sign that I should just go ahead and put it somewhere.

[He starts NEARLY by writing a V. But then he writes Static instead and fills the rest out.]

Uh, it's okay to show up like this, right? I can't exactly get away with a civilian identity around here. [Seriously he is the only black teenage boy in Luceti. It'd be kind of a give away.]

Says the man who's walkin' around infecting other people with earworms!
