Over by the front door was a sign reading:
Caritas Presents:
3 MINUTE DATES
Earlier in the evening there was general milling about and Tino serving drinks and such, but then, just before 8, music swelled.
"They said true love was too hard to find
And by all evidence, they were right
But you gave it a shot, hoping you were just blind
And hey, this is just part of your night!
So you came to the bar and wrote down your name
(Or Tino did as a surprise)
Because maybe three minutes could change the whole game
If you just... open... your eyes..."
Frank danced onto the stage, martini in one hand, which he promptly drank. Fortunately he still had another martini in the other hand to gesture with as the music picked up.
You'll find love! Or maybe a friend
Whatever the case, you won't want it to end
Only three minutes? That's not enough!
I guess you'd better cut out the fluff, because...
It's Three Minute Dates
(Yes, you heard me!)
Three Minute Dates!
(Yes, it is!)
So get down to business, take a swing
And maybe upon a prayer and a wing
You'll figure out this can be a thing
On your Threeeeeeeee....
Minuuuuuuuuuuuuute.....
Daaaaaaaaaaaaates!"
"Now hit the gong, I'll be at the bar!"
A gong sounded - just as it would at the end of all rounds - as Frank left the stage with two empty glasses in his place.

Regular post-dates Caritas post]
[OOC: Three minutes = ten comments total, five per person. You don't need to do your threads chronologically, but try not to Joss yourself. Any dates where Randy the RNG Love Potioned you has an asterisk (*) next to your name in the subject line. Everyone who opted in has TWO RNGed Love Potion Rounds, but ALL PEOPLE are welcome to use the love potion in more rounds if they would like, whether you asked for love potion in the signups or not.
Starting the OCD! HAVE AT IT.
If I made a blatant mistake, like skipping a character completely for a round or posting a pairing twice, feel free to grab me on AIM or in the OOC thread and I'll make a quick fix.
Also remember that most playing should happen on Saturday, but if you need to finish things up on Sunday, that's fine.
A regular post-dates Caritas post will go up Saturday afternoon sometime.]
