[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!))

Speed dating definitely changed my life. And by that, I mean Tommy dating Bulla. I totally didn't expect him to go through with it.

[lololol get it, do you get it billy]

Thanks. And sure, I can do that. Even if you don't think I need to do anything, I'd feel better for it. I don't know if Rei and I would have -- well, we might have met, but things mightn't have gone quite the same way if we hadn't met at last year's speed dating event, so I feel like I owe you for that. Bringing cookies to this year's event will make me feel like I've given something back, small as it is.

Oooookay. That's the most disturbing thing you've said to me this week.

Well if you think about it, it's not too shocking. We'll probably get a comic in our own world someday.

Okay, the first one's definitely not what I'm going for. But you say "Muppet-y" like it's a bad thing!

Well mostly the talking. [ ... ] I know I'm kinda a jerk sometimes, and I'm also kinda dumb too.

I'll-- try and stop by around dinner time. [Not that she doesn't find Teddy charming, but... She would just as soon have fewer witnesses to this embarrassment as possible. Plus. She had not had any one-on-one with her not!son in quite some time.]

[He fixes the screen a sidelong look glinting with mischief, his voice dropping conspiratorially low.]

You tell me.

[Then, with a sort snort, he presses on pleasantly enough.]

A bit of sorry luck, I suppose. To his credit, the man at least sat in his chair.
blessingone: (show me how pretty the world is)

[personal profile] blessingone 2014-08-06 02:44 am (UTC)(link)
I think it's quite awesome, too. [A grin.] I didn't know you and Rei knew each other, though.

Basically, yes. It just gets people talking, and it's a little inspiration for the people who are more competitive than sociable.

[Because she knows a few of those.]
wildbluevagner: (dunno)

[Voice]

[personal profile] wildbluevagner 2014-08-06 03:49 am (UTC)(link)
Okay, I get you.

You know... if we're talking serious, I think I might need more time...

[His other ideas might be best left to one's imagination.]

Speed-dating definitely sounds more interesting than everyone getting together to play BINGO.
