[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!))

... Yeah. Eleanor and I talked and... we think it sounds like-- 'fun'. [The way she says "fun" makes it sound like a completely foreign concept]

Is that... Is that not okay? You sound... like it's not okay.

[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?

... I look forward to it then.

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

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?

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.]
