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!))

... That makes sense. Frankly, I hope not to make it that far into a stay.

Don't we all?

[It's one of those ever-present fears: being stuck in this place without his special someone.]

[ for her own part, claire would -- if pressed -- laugh off any implication that a special someone would ever be in her cards. love was a tough dream to chase when there was so much work to be done.

but here... ]

I would think so. Although, by all accounts? It sounds as though not everyone does. [ but that is a dreary thought, so: ] Have you had many sign-ups?

[There's something to be said for significant others, even temporary ones. It's a feel-good that some people thrive on.

There's a lot he could say about it, but he won't push the issue pointlessly.]

A fair number, actually. I didn't expect it to be as popular as it apparently is.

[ a pause while she considers the whole concept once again... ]

Well. I suppose it can't hurt. I can sign up through you?

Absolutely! I can take it over the journal if you want, or you can swing by the plaza and fill out a form.

[Which he will now put in the journal for her convenience.]

The plaza will do. Will you still be there in about forty-five minutes?

Sure will! I'll be here most of the day.
