[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!))

[It was already mentioned to Masaomi, but it bears repeating to the person running the club.]

It's good to hear there's such support in the village. I'm sure it's appreciated.

And don't worry about needing to change the name. You guys were here first and it's on hold anyway [On account of all the people in charge leaving, go figure.].

Man, Billy. I thought your codename was Wiccan, not Cupid! But count me down for this! I wouldn't say it changed my life, but this time around? I... I think I'm ready to give it a real go!

And don't worry about naming your club. Leave it all to me!

1) For the record, I really have to thank you for writing out what you're saying. It must be a pain in the butt, but man it's nice.

2) If accommodating the whole deafness thing isn't even more of a pain in the butt, I'm interested in signing up. But seriously, no hard feelings if this is a speaking-only sort of event.

I have been thinking. [About a lot of things, really. But he's trying to figure things out.] I... wonder if I ought to come to this club.

I'd say getting married two days from now counts as a success story.

A support group for social outcasts... what an interesting sort of thing. This place surprises me, still.

... "Speed Dating" sounds like something my brother would do.

Speed Dating? Is that a popular thing to do around here?

[Feedback, he says? Well, if he insists--]

A word, if I may, regarding the spectacle which was your little event in the previous year. [He smiles gently.] I take it that you were the one responsible for the grouping together of eager participants, yes~?

[He might be wearing Zevran's face for the moment, but a great many similarities end there.]

[There's laughter in Fenimore's tone as she replies.]

"Speed-dating changed my life" is a little melodramatic, don't you think? [She smiles.] Though...you could say it's true for me, since I met my girlfriend there last year.

[ Testi...monial. He frowns a little. Shiemi and himself dared each other last year. He's not sure if he does or doesn't have anything to show for it, but in the form of advertising he has: ]

It was pretty fun last year. [ You know once he stopped being tense... okay he never did ]

So, quick question, why am I being roped into your scheme and why does this not count as that favor?

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?

[Teddy had been piddling around while Billy was making his post and replying to people, first nibbling on a bagel, then just leaning on the back of the couch and watching what's going on. Straight up creepin' on other people's threads.

When there's enough of a break, Teddy slides over to wrap his arms around his boyfriend's shoulders from behind, chin resting on top of his head.]

Looks like you're getting a lot of hits again. Sure you can handle the sign-ups?
