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!

Haha, definitely. [He didn't expect there to be this many either.] I'm Mamoru and... it was May last year when I arrived.

You returned only recently, right? I saw your network post.

[prismatically]

Yup! I'd been around since the start, but I guess I kind of dipped... man, maybe November? I mean for me, it was basically like going for a nap and waking up in the middle of February so it was pretty wild! But a bunch of my friends are still here, and they're helping me get settled again, so it could totally be worse, y'know?

[reincarnatedprince]

Three month nap... So people might be envious about that.

[Usagi wouldn't want to nap for that long even if she sometimes did sleep a lot, but he wouldn't be surprised if some people wanted to sleep that long.]

I'm glad you still have friends around. And now you get to make new ones, too.

[prismatically]

Yeah! Don't get me wrong, I didn't love having to go through the whole newbie song and dance a second time... but the first time was way scarier! I was all by myself and I didn't know anybody in this place, or even really anything about where we were. At least this time, I know what I'm doing and I've got friends here, y'know?

[ She gives a little shrug. ]

So I'm kinda looking on the bright side, I guess!

[reincarnatedprince]

Yeah, I know what you mean. Arriving on the beach without knowing if there's anyone you know around... that feeling of thinking you might be all alone is crushing.

[He was lucky enough for familiar people to find him right away, but he did have a moment of grief.]

I think remaining posititve and finding the good in situations is ideal, especially in the situation we've been put in.

[prismatically]

Ugh, don't remind me. [ She huffs out a sigh, dropping her chin into the palm of her hand. ] It's honestly even worse if they're already here or they end up turning up later and just as you're getting used to having them around, they go poof.

[ Going by the glum expression on her face, it's something she's experienced firsthand. ]

[reincarnatedprince]

... yeah. I know how that feels.

[They did lose three of their world's people - and in a rather short amount of time. So that type of loss is familiar to him.

But this isn't supposed to be a sad event.]

Why don't we think of something happier to talk about?

[prismatically]

[ A huff of laughter. ]

You don't have to tell me twice.

[ But she'll cast around for a slightly cheerier topic to pick up instead. ]

How about... is there anything cool you've gotten to try here you wouldn't have been able to back home? Like a new hobby or maybe like, some new food or music or something.

[reincarnatedprince]

Oh... well, we don't exactly have social media like this back home? So my fiancee and I take videos and photos of our samoyed to post on instagram. That's been fun.
