[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!))

[Teddy's busy staring down at the ring and how it fits perfectly on his finger; he's never worn a ring before, because they'd inevitably break (which he'll have to ask about in a moment), or it just felt weird having something around his finger. But this? He can definitely get used to this, especially with how comfortably snug it is. And the fact that he now clearly has a symbol to show that he's taken, he's engaged...]

... Like it belongs there. Billy, I...

[Rather than try to get words out, as Teddy isn't much of a wordy guy in the first place, he leans forward to kiss him instead, letting how he feels about it all show in the emotion he puts into it. And though he's got his eyes shut, he still tries to find Billy's left hand with his own, wanting to feel both of their rings together. It just... it feels like it'd be perfect.]

[His brows lift delicately and he rears back, a hand pressed to his chest.] How utterly rude~. I have a name, you know.

Dude, that probably already exists. We're like the sexier teen Avengers.

But like... even if it works out, and y'like going steady. Someone's going to go home sooner than the other person and then it's going to make it hard on the person who's left here. And it's not like I want to be here...

Well, part of the point of the club was to give people a place to socialize and enjoy themselves...and as a distraction from all the weird stuff that happens here.

[Bulla's of the opinion that the best way to honour someone is to not let the things they've built up here go to waste. Her mother created a mini-salon within their house, and Bulla has been making use of it for Fashion Club.]

So I think another social event would be a good idea.

[She offers Billy a playful grin.]

We should be careful. Between, you, Teddy and I, we might become the unofficial social committee of Luceti.

You need only have asked.

[People talk, and it seems appropriate to believe that word of him would have traveled more quickly in such a closely knit community. He smiles thinly.]

Regardless, I trust that my concern for the others partaking in this event shan't be diminished or dismissed on account of our... [A pause, as if carefully considering his choice of words] ...disagreements.

[ ... ] When you put it like that I guess it's not bad. It still doesn't feel totally right though.

Oh, were you kind of shy before?

[It's hard to picture Billy being shy, but she does remember when he was more reclusive after the reality warping incident...]

Between your efforts and mine... [He chuckles softly] ...I dare say I am nearly convinced that the situation will not be repeating itself.

[The clueless man hadn't be an offense so much as he had been a bore. Bur for those who may be looking to insult him in the future, it's not something he will take sitting down. It wouldn't be very Isaac of him, after all.]

...A pity that some have such little regard for that club of yours and prefer to live in spiteful ignorance.

[He cants his head, an eyebrow cocked.] Chill? [The context suggests it's a positive description but that's about all he understands.]

[He hums his understanding.]

Well, how fortunate for you. However, a man being 'chill' is not an accurate reflection of how tolerant and open-minded he is. In this cage especially I have seen all too clearly how a man needs not foam at the mouth to feel an abiding contempt for another. [Spreading his hands.] Sometimes those with the kindest, most charming of smiles are more rotten than the rest. [His arms lower softly to his sides, a wry smirk still twisting his lips.] ...Mind who you consider good company, for your own sake.
