[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]](https://plurk.com/favicon.ico)

his expression softens just a tad when Atsushi sits down across from him, and he doesn't hesitate answering the question. ]
Well, there was this one time some kid dropped a corn dog on me...
no subject
And then, a beat later, his forehead collides with their shared table. ]
...I'm sorry...
no subject
Calm down, it was a joke.
[ mostly. he's not very good at jokes. ]
Though I don't really know how else to answer that question.
no subject
Ah...haha, right. D, don't worry, I think I just chose a bad card, too—
[ Here's attempt number two!! ]
—A, alright! How about this one... "what's your best joke?"
[ Atsushi why do you keep choosing the worst questions ]
no subject
[ seriously, he is notoriously horrible at jokes. ]
Isn't it my turn, anyway?
i literally didn't get notifs for anything on this post, I'M SO SORRY... WTF DW
[ Hastily shoving his cards off to the side now, ask away, Levisan... ]
F, feel free to ask me anything!
no worries!
If you had five days to live, what would you do?
[ not exactly the cheeriest of questions, but he's not a cheery person. sorry, bro. ]
no subject
[ He thinks about that, and his answer is surprisingly blase for the weight they may or may not hold: ] ...I'd try not to inconvenience the people around me, I guess.
[ It's not like he wants to die, but fighting against that sort of ultimatum seems futile. He tips his head to the side, genuinely sincere about his assessment. ]
If I could at least do one thing to help the people around me, that'd be good.
no subject
he frowns. ]
What do you mean "inconvenience" people? What kind of answer is that?
no subject
[ He scratches his chin, trying to think of the right words without sounding too pathetic, or too self-deprecating.
What he decides on is: ] —I'd want to be someone that can do something for people, if only for a little while.
no subject
[ being an inconvenience, that is. who needs that? ]
Obviously there's nothing wrong with wanting to help others, but don't base your self-worth on how convenient you are to them.
