[Voice/Written/Action] go go fight for romance

[God, okay, enough procrastinating and feeling depressed. He is doing this before something terrible happens again to delay it. Ugh.]

Hey, Luceti. Couple of things.

First, gonna remind everyone that this town has an LGBTQQA+ club that still meets pretty regularly, you know, when circumstance allows. If you don't know what that all means, feel free to ask and I'll expand on it, but the short version is people who identify as a sexuality or gender that goes against what society views as "normal". Meetings aren't required or anything, it's basically a support and discussion group. Consider this an open invite to ask about it or join up if it sounds like something up your alley.

Second point is, uh. The whole Luceti group thing kind of accidentally took over the club name, Alliance. So maybe we should pick a name for ourselves, instead? It was always kind of a throwaway name because we didn't have anything better at the time... just something I've been thinking about.

Thirdly, and more importantly, it was mentioned on the network not that long ago that we ran a speed dating thing last year. I've been meaning to have another one, but the timing was kind of crap last month... anyway, I think it's time! So here goes. The 2nd Annual Luceti Speed Dating.

Short explanation from last year: we get together, pair up, talk to your partner for 5-10 minutes max, just to get a first impression and meet as many new people as you can. Last year we did both romance and friendship options, and I think it worked out pretty well! We had a couple success stories, far as I recall. Anyone want to offer some feedback for it? Testimonials? "Speed dating changed my life"?

Oh, and like last year, this is open to all, not just the club. I'd like to do it this coming Saturday, so if you want to sign up, swing by the plaza any afternoon this week and find me.

[Like last year, the message is also in written format, and all week there'll be a table with some posters and sign-up sheets, and occasionally Billy if you want to swing by to talk about it. Discussion is also welcome and encouraged over the journal network.]

((ooc: and you can sign up here!))

[There is a very long pause, while she considers choking herself with her own foot, out of sheer embarrassment.] What... I mean-- Nothing's going to happen. It's just-- I mean. ... Fun. Right?

'twas my first experience of anything of the sort, you understand-- [He breathes a sigh, his brows tilting sorrowfully] --and how sorely disappointing it was. I had expected more charming company, but 'twould seem the preferences I outlined hadn't much bearing at all on the choices you and your Teddy made.

[A shake of his head.]

How very cruel of you. And to think -- I might have known true love...

[The words are too sweet for him, nearly curling his lips into a sneer.]

All right. My thanks.

[This makes the inevitable disappointment even better.]
fashionably_strong: art by unknown, if this is yours let me know and I'll credit (calm smile)

Do you need any help with organizing? Also, for testimonials, I didn't wind up dating anyone I met as a romance match, but I befriended several people for friendship matches that I hadn't met before. So that was pretty cool.

[She takes a moment to think of some other feedback.]

Maybe there could be some games for people to play later on in the evening after everyone's had the chance to meet their matches?

... I look forward to it then.

[She is sooo not looking to fall in love. That would be bad for EVERYONE.]

Fun for you. [She emphasizes and then rolls her eyes.] Who cares about what Pietro wants to do?

I do... when it ends up effecting me. [Wanda had been awoken on more occasions than she cares to remember by... noises in the Brotherhood house. Plus that time he had tried to get them branded as heroes by staging accidents. Plus anecdote, plus anecdote.]

I'm... hoping it'll be fun for me.

Oh, so do people do it seriously for relationships or just for fun?

[He really, really is. But no one's supposed to know that.]

Yeah. ... Eleanor talked me into it. I'm... hoping it'll be fun. Yeah. It'll be nice to meet new people though. Right?

Thanks.

[And he genuinely means it, a rarity coming from him.]

The ceremony is. The reception is a little more open if you'd like to show up for that.

Sure. That sounds-- nice. [Any excuse to see her family, actually. She feels like she hasn't seen him in quite some time.] I'll-- drop by, then. Later today, maybe?

'Some' is a rather conservative estimate.

[What's a little teasing between strangers? His tone suggests otherwise, though, pitched to sound wistful.]
voidseeing: (A rare smile)

[personal profile] voidseeing 2014-08-01 05:42 am (UTC)(link)
That's quite an offer. Most everyone else just offered to help with things like catering or bartending.

[He's amused, though, and wondering just what sorts of things magic could be put to use for.]
