Alex recognized her fellow teacher's name -- it was unusual enough -- and was even certain that she'd had a speed-date with her some time in the past.

It was occurring to Alex that the room was a little warmer than she remembered it, and that she didn't really spend enough time talking to her fellow teachers. Especially not the pretty blondes.

"I believe I've seen you here before," Ghanima commented with a smile. "Hello, Miss Cabot."

"Hello, Miss Atreides," Alex said, her voice lower and warmer than its usual. Ghanima's eyes were so striking. She could stare for hours. "Please, call me Alex. It's so good to see you again."

"You'd think we'd have more of a close-knit community, with so few adults on the island, but we all seem to be solitary creatures, don't we?" Ghanima mused. "I rarely see the other teachers outside of classes or staff meetings."

[Sorry, technical failure this weekend!]

George stopped at the bar between rounds three and four -- just for a soda. She could get drunk, but it would require so much alcohol that it would probably make a really, really weird impression on her dates. And she kind of didn't like the taste of it, unless she was in a foul mood and chugging something awful fit.

Uncomplicated Sprite in hand, she found her way to her seat and waited for her next date to show up.

Alexander, by the time he made it to the next table, was very, very confused. He...wasn't quite sure what had just happened, but he'd just been acting as if he was absolutely in love with Ramona Flowers, but that was...impossible. He was in love with Cassima. Ramona didn't even look anything like Cassima.

So excuse Alexander if he seemed to be somewhere else, frowning as he was when he sat down and then duly seemed to note that George was there.

"Hello," he said. "I am beginning to wonder if these date things are a very good idea at all...."

Which was a wonderful way to start, really.

The good news was that Alexander had picked the right person to use that opening with.

"Me, too," George said. "I mean, you have to come out here and smile and be all nice at people. I think my face is starting to get weird from all the ... uh, smiling."

The bad news was, um, it was George.

"Oh, well," Alexander looked a little taken back for a moment. "It's not so much the being nice to people, so much as just simply feeling a bit awkward that perhaps everyone does not approach this the same way as I do, in the hopes to obtain...mere friendship. I have no interest in pursuing anything more, but the purpose of these things, I realize a bit too late, is something I bit more, I'm afraid..."

"I'm not gonna hit on you," George said quickly. "Uh. Not that you're not ... cute? Or whatever? But I'm just here because ... I'm bad at talking to people so I'm trying not to ... be so bad at it. Not to ... you know."

So that was three rounds down and two to go, Andros made his way to the table and sat down as he waited for the next round to begin.

Anduin wasn't quite as surprised when he found himself facing another boy, but at least he wasn't completely confused this time. "Good evening," he said politely. "I'm Anduin, it's a pleasure to meet you."

"Likewise," Andros nodded, "I'm called Andros,"
