A sign was posted at the front door:

Caritas Presents:
3 MINUTE DATES

Unlike most 3MDs, there didn't seem to be a host. The zombies were just set up, all quiet, when the lights went out.

After a few moments, music started to play. A man's voice started to sing "Ooooooooh" while backing vocals repeated "come on

Round 1: Ada Miller / Thorin

Thorin had long ago resigned himself to the fact that he always managed to come to this bar on the one night this event happened. And thus, happened onto some 'dates'.

"Good evening."

"H'llo," Ada said cheerfully, sitting down. "I didn't expect none of this, did you?"

Ada'd just wanted to go out and wander town. Stumbling on to another of these things was just fun.

"Nor did I," Thorin replied with a put upon sigh and a look that implied he was pleased that he wasn't in this madness alone at least. "How they manage to ensnare so many is a mystery to me,"

[boneyard_girl]

"They ensnared me pretty easy with th' offer of a free drink or two, an' th' chance t' talk t' people I don't normally see," Ada admitted. "--but I like meetin' new friends, so I was an easy sell."

Re: Round 1: Ada Miller / Thorin

[dwarvenswagger]

"New friends I am amiable to," Thorin replied. "My people are not prone to... dating."

Re: Round 1: Ada Miller / Thorin

[boneyard_girl]

"Lack of opportunity, or cultural?" Ada asked curiously. "I never even met someone from outside m' family for more than three minutes before I came here. Socializin' with outsiders wasn't really encouraged, especially for th' girls."

Re: Round 1: Ada Miller / Thorin

[dwarvenswagger]

Thorin couldn't make too much of a face. Female Dwarves were less common than Male, and most Men could barely tell the difference between the two.

"We fall in love once in our lives," Thorin explain. Because Tolkien was a big ol' romantic who needed to get his shit together. "Because of that we prefer to wait until we are at least in out eighties."

Round 1: Ahsoka Tano / Anders

Was there a very confused looking Togruta who had no idea what she was doing here or what she was in for at the table? Yes, yes there was.

Re: Round 1: Ahsoka Tano / Anders

[not_every_mage]

And there was a mage joining her, who knew what he was doing but wasn't certain he really wanted to do it.

"Hello," he said, cheerfully enough. "Having a good day so far?"

Re: Round 1: Ahsoka Tano / Anders

[snipsnspecks]

"Well, I spent it elbow deep in a broken hyperdrive, so it was productive at least."

As topics of conversation went, at least it wasn't sand.

Re: Round 1: Ahsoka Tano / Anders

[not_every_mage]

It wasn't sand! Which was sad,since Anders at least knew what sand was.

He soldiered on bravely regardless.

"I see," Anders said,as though her answer had made perfect sense. "Is that a hobby of yours,then? Hyperdrives?"

Re: Round 1: Ahsoka Tano / Anders

[snipsnspecks]

Then he already knew it was rough, coarse, and got everywhere.

"Hobby's not the right word, but thanks to Anakin I'm good at it, and..." Ahsoka started then trailed off "...and you don't know what I'm talking about, do you?"

Good job, Tano.

Re: Round 1: Ahsoka Tano / Anders

[not_every_mage]

"Not at all, but I didn't think you'd figure it out this fast," Anders admitted. "I'm from one of the worlds that's behind on technology. Haven't caught up as much as I could."
