Speed Dating & Friendshipping

WHAT'S UP?

Speed Dating & Frienshipping is a (player-run) Valentine's Event hosted by Ren Jinguji and Camus at Shining Karaoke, located in Camelot.

During both of these events, participants talk to all other participants. Everyone is given five minutes to ask questions before they bell rings and you move onto the next person.

The tables all have cards that include simple questions if someone is stuck on what to ask. Here are some examples of what kind of questions there might be. Of course Speed Frienshipping won't have any "shippy" questions or ones that could be implied as such.

Everyone is free to make Top Levels for their characters for before and after the events themselves for mingling, singing karaoke or anything! World's your oyster and so on.

Have fun!

Jean! I, uh, I didn't...I mean, this is a pleasant surprise.

[That verbal stumbling bit aside, since they know each other already, Dimitri hopes this will be easy. The first card he ends up with is:]

So, what book are you currently reading?

[resistetmords]

[That draws a giggle from her in return!]

Well you grew it well!

Rats though, hmm... rests can be cute. Especially their little noses and hands!

[ringsthatbind]

[Shadow is taking a moment to consider his answer to this.]

Save the world, I guess.

[ringsthatbind]

[The look he gives Mamoru at that question probably says a lot, since he thinks it's kind of a silly thing to ask.]

It doesn't matter, I barely spend time in the place I do live at now it'd be the same no matter where I live.

[ringsthatbind]

[Bored is better than the other options for him to be feeling, as to the answer to Monika's question...]

It's a challenge.

[gordianknot]

What is Cordyceps?

[Or 'who'? He's not even sure what he should be asking, here, but he's intrigued if it involves some kind of battle.]

[hitokiri]

That ain't what I said. I jus' done it before, so it ain't that hard. 'Specially if I'd be playin' m'self. No one knows how I am better'n me, right?

[ so what if he had a mask on and extremely few lines? it still counts. ]

[fellsound]

( lu...ckily??? for Iskandar, Century Egg doesn't have many reservations about talking about things. not as long as he knows how to form the words. )

He is... the person who freed me from my master's tomb.

( fun and casual lore dumps with Food Fantasy characters. )

[morns]

( well some might point out that Izō can be incredibly blind to his positive qualities, but this isn't that kind of chat. so instead, let's rewind... )

You've "done it before"?

[gordianknot]

[Iskandar finds the directness refreshing, really, so he won't balk at such responses.]

You were imprisoned there? For what purpose?

[hitokiri]

[ cool way to inhale a little of whatever izō is drinking because sure, that's one way to open a conversation. ]

Not—... naw. [ he woke up as a dog a few times intentionally but that doesn't count. ] Get that sorted yer self?

[hitokiri]

Yeah? Why?

[ isn't that just a thing that happens to everyone at least once? ]

[fellsound]

( there's no satisfying answer to this (could there ever be?) so Century Egg can only say the truth. )

I don't know. ( he pauses a second, gaze growing more distant as he tries to find something more than that.

how many hours did he sit in that tomb, chained to his master's grave, trying to understand why he was left alone in the dark? )

I...! ( his fingers dig into his hair, pulling at the ponytail hard enough to steady himself. he's not there. he's in the light. in Avalon. with a myriad of people around him.

he's safe. he just needs to breathe. ) I was his servant...

( and god of beginnings only knows that there are plenty of humans on Tierra who don't think of Food Souls as people. )

[morns]

Never mentioned it before.

( no. no it is not. )

[hitokiri]

Y' never asked.

[ it's not on the extremely short list of things he'll just volunteer for no reason. ]

commence the world's dumbest argument

[morns]

You usually ask people if they've been in movies?

( let's just. down the last of that drink, huh? )

[hitokiri]

Wh—... naw. Y' know what I mean!

[ it's debatable if he knows what he means. ]

Figure everybody's gotta story like that.

[morns]

... No.

( like what else can she even say to that? it's so obviously not the norm as far as Kate's concerned. arguing her point any further seems ridiculous. )

[hitokiri]

[ it takes him a few seconds to accept this information. ]

Well, how the fuck should I know?! It's stupid anyway!

[gordianknot]

[He's silent for a long moment, the crags of his face deepening into a frown.]

If you were intended to be a sacrifice, it would have been a kinder mercy to slay you before they entombed you with him.

[But keeping him a prisoner? It seems a waste, a pointless cruelty to inflict on a faithful servant still living.]

[morns]

( manslayer, h o n e s t l y. )

Actors wouldn't be celebrities if it were normal.

( at least she's keeping her tone even, despite the eye rolling. )

[illusionaryskirt]

[ It's a story. If it comes up in conversation, she doesn't have any issue revealing what happened, but she doesn't want to put a damper on a positive event. Archer's features pique her interest as well, and she smiles gently at the odd question. It's odd, but it does reduce the tension.]

It is strange...but I don't think I can or would want to.

[She tries to come up with a question of her own.]

Are you a night owl or an early bird?

[hitokiri]

Celebrities? [ he's thinking. it's not like he has actual experience with stuff like this otherwise. ] Those like idols?

[hitokiri]

Hehe, 'm doin' it right now! [ a pause. ] Drinkin', I mean. I dunno 'bout all the rest. Oh, an' gamblin' too! Y' play?

[ he knows where to find a few totally-not-shady gambling rings. ]

[illusionaryskirt]

Marshmallow? That's a cute name. What do they like? Are they white and fluffy?

[Chrome giggles a little bit. She's not so much a dog person, but a cute pup is still cute.

She starts to become shy again as the question is directed at her.]

Me? Learning Italian...and looking up at the stars.
