Nani could feel the prying eyes of her two very ill-disguised friends as she moved on to the next table in the round. It was so typical of them to rope her into something like this, and then conveniently leave her to it. She wasn’t having the absolute worst time in her life (she’d spoken to some real characters already) but Nani would have much preferred to be at home with her feet up, with some takeaway and a shitty movie.

Nani sighed into the next seat, opposite Paxton Patterson, who looked just as done as she was.  “You too?” Nani asked, resting her chin in her palm. Out of the corner of her eye, she could see Becky and Babette, probably whispering something scandalous to one another.

MY BABY FOR LIFE..

baby, I know it seams as if I don't care any more. or even as if I have no time for you or your needs. but baby there isn't a moment where I don't think of you. and dream of you and the soft silky touch of your skin. the way you smile when I call your name. I day dream of your 💋. so tender and sweet. your moans some time soft and gentle and some times loud and out of control. your gaze as you look me deep In my eyes. as I make passionate love to you. the way you call my name. my world has never been the same. I love you like the sun loves to shine. like the rivers love to flow. my heart burst every time I know you near. and when you are angry I hurt. when you are sad I'm sad. and when you are happy I'm over the moon. life won't be the same if you're not in it.

once every three months, a theme night would run in third street. becky would team up with sponsors and host the night at third street with reduced rates on food and drinks for members of the public that were taking part. it was a win-win for all partied involved. this quarter she had teamed up with verdaderas flores for a speed dating event and so far it seems to have been successful. despite the high demand, the theme of speed dating was one that she had avoided long enough, it only reminded her that her other half was no longer here.

becky had gone through the motions of welcoming the guests and making sure everything was set up and running smoothly. third street was run like a tight ship, and she wasn’t letting it slip. taking a moment to herself while an intermission was happening between the dates, she sat at the bar with her drink and ran through the checklist she had to keep the timings for the night right.

Saying Sally was nervous about what was, literally, her first date, would be an understatement. A situation she guessed would be naturally stressful for any newcomer, the fact that she had a short time limit to meet someone made her even less confident in the possibility to actually relax and enjot someone else's company. So, why was she there in the first place?

Well, for once, boredom, and the heavy loneliness that she was battling for quite a while now. And as that was not enough, Sally was also certain that an event like that would be her only chance to actually try her hand at dating. Nonetheless, she couldn’t be fully convinced this could end up with her even having the luck of a new friend. But there was no harm in trying, right?

And then she looked up from her little notebook, to her first date. Sally did remember seeing that face before, though the memory was hazy, like most random faces in the street... "Hello. I'm Sally Finkelstein. It's a pleasure to meet you..." All she recalled about the man standing in front of her was that he didn’t exactly have a friendly face.

This was all Sofia’s fault. She’d said they would do this together and he’d agreed as a way to further his mission and get closer to her. And now she wasn’t even here? He’ll admit, it wasn’t like her to lie or trick him, so he suspected Guinevere had played a hand in her absence. He was going to have to have a talk with her after all this.

Hunter probably would have ditched if not for the open bar. While he certainly wasn’t here to date, that didn’t mean he couldn’t get drunk and maybe find a little something extra, if the other person was into it. He was already one “date” down and several drinks in. He was starting to feel loosened up.

When a rather attractive looking man sat across from him, he didn’t bother to hide himself looking up and down. He wanted the other to know what he was about. “Hey there. Enjoying your night so far?” He asked, taking a sip of what was probably his third or fourth drink.

Truth be told, dating was something that Toulouse took seriously, all fun and games aside. Actually making a commitment to someone was far greater than flirting with people in passing. While he wasn’t convinced that this event would really be the start of some long lasting relationship, he was up for the challenge. Another round, another fun way to pass the time. The thing about only getting seven minutes to make an impression on someone was that if it went well, and they could capture your attention in such a short period of time, you’d be more likely to seek them out. However, if it went terribly or you had no idea what you even talked about, no big deal, you probably wouldn’t have to see them ever again.

Toulouse smiled warmly as they sat down, introducing himself. “Hey, I’m Toulouse. I’m an art major, but I also have a couple other hobbies. Would you believe me if I told you I was psychic?” he asked, furrowing his brows with a sly grin.

The night had been passing by rather quickly, the third and final date now on the schedule.  Already at the assigned table, Oz played with the napkin on the table.  Not having a chance for a smoke break was starting to make him antsy.  Still, he smiled casually as his next date joined him.  “Evenin’ lil lady.  How’re you enjoying yourself?”

Nani waved off her first round partner, Iridessa, and took her drink with her to the next table in the row. While she wasn’t having the worst time of her life (Iridessa was really something) she was, frankly, counting down the minutes. Still, it didn’t pay to be rude either, and if she was going to make it to the end of the night with Becky giving her the side-eye, she would play along. Nani took a seat, offering her second partner a genuine smile by way of greeting.

“Hey, how you doing?” Nani began, her well-practised friendliness taking over.

It took Nick a while to find the table of his third date- the girl had been so quiet and he got turned around a few times with wrong table numbers. When he finally did find her, however, he couldn’t believe he had managed to overlook her. “You know, if my ego was any smaller, I might think that you’ve been trying to hide over here.” He smiled as he sat down, “Sorry I’m late- it’s not the best impression for a speed date. The table numbers make very little sense.” He offered up the excuse with a small sigh. “I’m Nick.”

Lily slid into the booth across from the blonde, a smile tugging at one corner of her lips. “Hey, I’m Lily. Quick question: would you rather have one hundred duck-sized elephants or one elephant-sized duck?” Breaking the ice with a weird question wasn’t something she usually felt the need to do, but being back in her hometown- at a speed dating event, of all things- was making her uncharacteristically nervous. “No pressure, but I’m going to judge your response harshly.”

By the time round three came up, even if the dates had just been around seven minutes long, she was absolutely exhausted already. As her second date walked away, Sally quickly took a long drink of her water glass (she once again wondered if she ought to have braved through this whole endeavour with something a little stronger, and to hell with her self-aware fear of that violent vulnerability alcohol granted her) and tried to smile at her next date.

"Hi. I'm Sally... How are you?"

[remy-reinhardt]

Remy blinked after the simple question asked after that deluge of information. Well, that lengthy introduction would make things quicker, he guessed. It seemed he had misjudged the man.

Thinking of how best to backtrack, he cleared his throat and ordered his thoughts. "Uh... Yeah, I mean, baking's nice and relaxing, but I'm more of a cooking kind of guy. I like experimenting, finding new combinations, new flavours and textures and--" he stopped himself before he could go off on one of his never-ending tirades. Surely the man wouldn’t want to waste his time on that. "It's, uh, a pleasure, Mr Absolem... Marlais. If that's alright by you," Remy said with a little nod.

"Well at least you're not a bloodsucker anymore, I guess, right?" he tried to chuckle, with a half smile. "Apart from discovering alienation, what... What else happened during that journey? I've never left Redwood Hollow," Remy said, as friendly as he could manage. "And... I've never heard of The Smoking Caterpillar, to be honest. What's it, some sort of steak house?"

Remy tapped his foot anxiously, still wondering whether he was having fun or not. The aim of this whole ordeal was the half-priced food, obviously, but it couldn’t be denied that, having always lived in the same tight knit community, surrounded by the same familiar faces, meeting new people, especially downtown-Redwood people, was quite exciting.

The next person approaching his table did appear, all things considered, not that interesting. A suit, probably an office worker, a pencil-pusher of some kind. Still, Remy knew better than to give too much credit to his first impressions.

But, before he could utter a greeting, the man sighed noisily, made a face and looked around, before turning back to him in confusion. “Of course I’m old enough -I’m twenty-six! -I’m a grown-ass man!” Remy cried in reply, automatically scratching the middling beard that still took too long to grow to hide his rounder, more childlike features. Of course, the guy had a neatly trimmed and groomed beard, which did make Remy feel like he was probably looking rather scruffy in comparison. “Okay, I’m Remy. I’m an assistant at a bakery. I was born and raised right here in Redwood Hollow. So, what are you, apart from rude?”

Marlais bit the inside of his cheek, maybe he had been a bit rude but he often received such forms of reproach simply for speaking his mind. His eyes roamed around the room, lingering on light fixtures and the odd assortment of decorations, “Marlais Absolem. I used to be a blood sucking lawyer but now I own the Smoking Caterpillar.” Marlais finally held Remy’s gaze, his own eyes heavy with emotion, “Apart from rude, it seems I am utterly lacking in more amiable personality traits. I’ve been on a journey of self discovery this past year and honestly have come up short. Despite my new found abhorrence for the chains of capitalism, I can’t help but to work myself to death. I spend most of my time at home or at work.” He cleared his throat, eyeing his watch, “You say you work at a bakery? Do you enjoy baking?” The question felt flat on his tongue but it was as genuine of a remark as he could conjure.

In all honesty, Toulouse had signed up for speed dating because he thought it would be funny. Besides, it wasn’t like he was busy, now that classes were out. He had some free time, and was a flirt by nature, no matter the circumstances. So, why not? While he recognized that he was definitely on the younger end of the dating pool here, that didn’t bring his confidence down at all. The plan was to go into it without revealing his age, since he was over eighteen and that was good enough to take part. Of course, he wasn’t old enough to drink on site, but he could easily say drinking wasn’t his thing.

When it came time to switch to the next person, Toulouse was surprised by how well they held themselves. Their presence exhibited a type of confidence that was endearing. “Usually I would say Ladies first, but if you don’t mind, I’d like to start. You have incredible eyes.” It wasn’t a lie, they were very captivating. Toulouse had learned at a young age that if you were going to give someone a compliment, the best were usually non physical, but if you were going to go that route, to pick something that didn’t make you sound like an ass.
