[closed-ish] Signs of love overshadowed by dreams

Who: Everyone who signed up for speed-dating/speed-friending! (and maybe some people who just wander in?)
When: IC Date: 6/9
Where: A large booth at the CERES Academy cultural festival
What: Rise's holding a special event to help bring people together at the cultural festival! This may be chaotic
Rating/Warning: N/A thus far! Rise with a megaphone might be a warning though...


[The cultural festival at the school has been in full-on planning mode for a few weeks. Rise is no exception to the planning and included in the flyers that have gone up is a notice printed on bright pink paper and bold lettering for a very special event.

The booth itself has been set up with a small cluster of tables to accommodate for the amount of people who have been signed up and even for a few last-minute sign-ups. The tables themselves have been decorated with special candles and a tray containing two bowls, two spoons, and a a tray with all the ingredients needed for an ice cream sundae.

At the front of the booth is a collection of heart-shaped name tags with all of the names of each individual whose signed up, along with a number attached. Rise will smile at each person, handing both the name tag and a small envelope to them with instructions not to open it until she says so.

It’s only when everyone has arrived and is crowded inside the booth that she pulls out a megaphone (and really, who gave her that?) and she turns it on.]


Hello ladies and gentlemen, and welcome to the Cerealia School Speed-Matching event! Meeting people can be really hard here, but don’t worry, we’re making it easy! You’ll see that the tables all have numbers assigned to them. On my count, open your envelopes and see who you’re starting with. When the bell rings, switch partners! Seems pretty simple, huh?

[Nobody gets to get a say in this apparently, but they may see one Yu Narukami who’s sitting on the table behind Rise just watching everyone casual as can be. Why is he wearing glasses? Who knows.]

Okie dokie! Let’s get this show on the road! On your mark…get set…open!

[Hope you’re ready, colonists. Inside each envelope is a starter number for the first match, and also a list of starter questions for asking people about themselves. Some people have lists corresponding with the speed dating route, while others are for the “friends only” route. But wait…what’s that? Some of those lists are crosswired? Your character would try to mingle with everybody and flirt anyway? Well hey. At least people will be talking and mingling.

Oh, and don’t mind the people who may wander in and out of the event. Rise will try to moderator the event to her best ability but hey, she’s pretty social herself. Some people are bound to slip in and out under her watch. Have fun! And remember, beware of the bell! (Or Rise announcing "SWITCH" in a loud voice via megaphone, same thing.)]

[ooc: Hello everyone, welcome to the speed-friending/dating event! Thank you to everyone who signed up; above you’ll see a list of people and numbers for you to pick from! Pick your number and your friend/date by visiting the number generator to randomly pick a number to match your character with! Feel free to post top-levels inviting others to just tag in or tag around, too, without using the RNG. Any questions, please hit me via PM or on plurk at [plurk.com profile] alternatively]

[ Thanks Weiss. What a way to make someone feel welcomed, but fortunately for her this guy here is able to allow it to roll over his back like it wasn't a huge deal. He'll occupy himself with the ice cream set before them. It would be pretty much a shame to let it go to waste while this was happening.

Though...waiting for the time to be called is kind of...boring. Giorno's not the most sociable person but at least he should try. So he'll fiddle with his envelope between bites of ice cream to see if at least the question he was given would be a good ice breaker:

"Have you ever seen a ghost?"

...well it's certainly something. Time to take this into his own hands...somewhat.

Shouldn't we at least introduce ourselves?

Ugh.

[She opens one eye. Turns out she can move, after all.]

Weiss Schnee.

It's a pleasure, to meet you even if you do not think so yourself.

[ Don't think he's blind to how dissatisfied she is with the whole ordeal. Couldn't she at least keep up some sort of facade just for the moment? Guess not. Still, Giorno will continue as he always does. ]

I'm Giorno Giovanna.

[In that moment, Weiss may have realized just how inhospitable she was being.]

Sorry, I'm just reeling from my friends signing me up for this. I can't believe they did this behind my back.

[ Giorno doesn't allow it to sour anything and simply lets it roll off of his back. ]

It's understandable. [ He'll look away and eye the questions that they were given. ] Perhaps you could still enjoy this even if this was a prank by your friends.

If you wanted to, of course.
