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!

( movies? gathering magic? sounds like the kinda shit Avalon would come up with, so it's probably believable, but this whole affair also sounds incredibly convoluted. )

Never a borin' day where you come from?

[hitokiri]

Depends. Mostly tryin' t' keep the world from endin' and then the rest of the time it's somethin' weird like places poppin' up in the middle of nowhere and everyone there is in swimsuits.

[ he shrugs and takes a drink. ]

[morns]

... it's Avalon?

( sounds a lot like Avalon. )

[hitokiri]

[ he never thought about it like that. ]

...Sorta? But I can do cooler shit there so Avalon is worse.

me here like "have they actually... talked about this... god i hope not"

[morns]

( ...huh. she'd say the opposite in terms of cool stuff she can do, so; )

Like what?

lmao safe to assume they have not

[hitokiri]

Well... 'cause it's easier not bein' human. Human rules don't apply t' nothin'. Ain't gotta sleep or be seen if I don't feel like it. Plus, I dunno, it's kinda interestin' when shit happens? Least I know what I'm doin' an' I ain't gotta wonder 'cause it ain't up t' me.

[ he's thought about this a whole lot. ]

[morns]

( that... okay, she could definitely get behind invisibility and not sleeping. )

Powers are pretty good, though.

( Avalon's, though that might be evident by the way she telekinetically floats up a question card between them. )

[hitokiri]

Yeah. Only I didn't get useful shit like that...

[ there's nothing cool he can do right now like that because what is he gonna do? turn into a horse? ]

[morns]

( she'd disagree there. )

Turnin' into any animal's not shit.

( ask her what is a shit power because she's spent years of her life with it. )

[hitokiri]

Sure, maybe y' wouldn't think so if ya had t' live as a dog for a week. I mean, it's useful, it just ain't movin' shit with yer mind.

[ his experience is having a vaguely magical passive sword ability and whatever benefits to skills he gets as a servant standing among gods and legendary heroes generally. izō is only doing well for himself right now because kate is a normal person. ]

[morns]

( yeah okay that sucks. but i mean everyone thinks dogs are cute so??? )

More fun that what I got back home.

[hitokiri]

Why? Whatcha usually got?

[ well, now he's curious. ]

1/?

[morns]

( ah. )

[morns]

( shit. that sure did slip out didn't it. )

okok

[morns]

( ugh, fine. )

... I sense other powers.

( a. boring. b... well, that's answered after a pause. )

All the fuckin' time.

( it never turns off. ever. )

[hitokiri]

Eh? Does everybody have powers or only a few people?

[ because that changes a lot depending on how common that is. ]

Sorta useful in my line of work though hehe.

[morns]

... 'S mandatory in the military.

( so yes, but also no? )

... Useful don't mean enjoyable.

( kinetic is also useful! and she doesn't get headaches! )

[hitokiri]

So y' need powers an' whatever else t' get in? Don't seem real fair.

[ not a fan of things being gated, this one. ]

[morns]

They give you powers after basic training.

( well. mostly. sometimes you end up with powers before that but there's no need to go into that right now. or ever. please just assume she got her powers after training. )

[hitokiri]

[ that's surprising. he figured that was a "born with talent" or, apparently, "get transported to another dimension"-type deal only. ]

So, some people got powers an' some people don't, but ya get 'em from joinin' up? An' ya jus' get t' keep 'em?

[ this all sounds nice but izō doesn't trust like that. ]

A'ight, what's the catch?

[morns]

( no, no. that would have been too stable for her world. (':

as for the catch... Nik didn't think that part through bc it's generally not relevant to the story. Kate exhales. man, definitely not easy to explain this without diving into parts she'd rather keep Izō's nose out of. )

Shit's dangerous. ( semi-true. as far as getting powers in the military goes, that's all official and above board and the pill is as stable as it gets. still, it's only been just over a decade of Hepatestryl being available, there's a lot of shit that could go wrong. and, y'know, you have to serve in the military. so she doesn't feel entirely bad about that half-truth. ) ... 'Sides, you know if you try shit they'll send people after you.

( there are definitely highly trained operatives who focus entirely on that side of things in National Defence. )

[hitokiri]

Oh, I get it. Same shit, different place.

[ bitter? as usual. no love or trust for governments that sound like they take advantage of people and then kill you if you step out of line? oh, definitely. ]

[morns]

( you get it, Manslayer. this is why she likes you. )

People in charge are bastards wherever you go.

( she takes a drink, a very long one, as she finishes speaking. everything to do with that pill is a pain in the ass and she misses none of that. )

[hitokiri]

No kiddin'. Wasn't into military shit official-like, but it's all the same

[ he takes a drink and mulls something over briefly. ]

Realised it's kinda pointless bein' real secret-secret about some'a this shit 'cause it ain't like y' know what the fuck I'm talkin' about anyway.

[ she can't even recognise japanese text when she sees it, he's pretty sure she's not going to suddenly realise his entire backstory if he eases up on his paranoid servant bullshit a little. ]

[morns]

( huh, well that's a change of topic. not that Kate's complaining. )

We're from different worlds.

( they shouldn't expect to know what the fuck the other is talking about, really. just because you recognise place names doesn't mean anything else is the same, right? )
