[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.

He blinks, a bit surprised, before shaking himself out of it. ]
Oh, uh— well, we were trying to keep the peace. In our city. Helping the police investigate crime...
[ That trails off, because he wants to address the rest. ] ...It's amazing that you can say that so confidently, Adelina-san.
no subject
[police officers and detectives are people she's only heard about, not encountered, so she's curious as to what their work must have entailed, or even working for them.
at his statement, though, she pauses.]
Is it? That is, it's very kind of you to say. I don't want to seem ungrateful, I'd just never thought of it that way before.
no subject
It's just something that's nice to hear, what you just said.
[ A small smile, and he presses on. ]
As for my job, I hadn't really been there for that long. But there was a lot to do, yeah...
...For example, we investigated a murder! Even if all I really did in the end was help the real detective navigate the train lines.
no subject
[a small smile in return]
It sounds very impressive to be involved in something like that regardless of your exact role. But... What are train lines?
no subject
[ How does one go about explaining this...? He hums softly under his breath, before testing his words. ]
...Like rooms that move on wheels. You ride them from one place to another.
[ How spectacularly underwhelming... ]
no subject
[she nods, though.]
So then, train lines would be the trail that the train travels on?
no subject
[ He tips his head to the side, somewhat curious. ]
It's kind of amazing, isn't it? That we're able to talk about this kind of thing here, that we're all from such different places.
no subject
[she nods.]
It is. Everything I've heard from the people here about their lives and their worlds is incredible. I won't say that I'm glad to be here, but I am glad to have the opportunity to learn so much every day.
