[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.

[ She does her best to keep her bounciness in check as she picks up the phone and looks through the pictures. She has to bite her lip to keep back a squeal of delight a couple of times. Something about knowing this tiger is one the person in front of her has actually seen and handled makes it more real to her. More real than the pictures taken for magazines, at least. ]
Ohhh, she's so pretty! I love her tail!
no subject
[ Atsushi is relieved that his friend date seems to be going relatively well, and settles into his chair with less nervous timidity than he had before. Rest in pieces, tigerkid... ]
Um, and if you have any questions about this place, if you're new— I'd be happy to hear those, too.
no subject
I think I'd like to take up gardening, or perhaps get a pet. Any suggestions on the best place to look into either of those?
can you believe i never got a notif, I'M SO SORRY... FEEL FREE TO IGNORE IF THIS IS TOO LATE
...but she recovers, and he has to wonder if she held back for his sake, or her own.
Either way, he feels somewhat badly about it, and he clears his throat. ]
Oh, uh— well, there's a really nice garden near the Residential District! As for pets, there's a lot of CyBuddy shops in the Shopping District. I can definitely help you look for one if you want. They have some pretty crazy things, actually...!
oh naw, it's fine!
"Crazy things?" Like bears?
no subject
[ So if she was ever gunning for some crazy medieval beasts or hellhounds to adopt, there we go. Or that might just have been someone's Pokemon, in which case Atsushi will be a Big Fat Liar and disappointing everyone in the process. Whoops. ]
But I think you could technically get a bear, too. This place isn't really strict about what we do...
no subject
oh my!are an interesting pet selection, to be sure. Though, Nyuu's not sure she'd really go and get one. A bear must be a chore to clean up after. ]It's amazing this place has such a variety of pets! I don't think I'd ever really get a bear, but...they do seem very cute. [ Which brings up a thought. ] So...would you feed a bear regular pet food? Or something from the grocery store?
[ This is a real conversation she is having. ]
