Hey, people. Let's be real, none of us on barge are getting lucky or having as many romantic dinners as we should. So I think the only answer to this is to have speed dating, preferably at Thursday nights. And preferably next to the pool, in case we feel the need to turn it into pool party speed dating.

Kids, if you're under 18, you're just gonna have to go and entertain yourself with coloring books.

Alien people, you might want to go organize your own thing. The vampires will probably be into it.

[Added later.]

I take it back, aliens and whatever are totally included. Surely someone will be into it.

...No.

[To say that Hoffman is furious, hurt, overly sensitive to this is an understatement.]

[Video]

[sharpememory]

Come on, man. It's not compulsory. Besides, would a it really hurt you to have some fun?

[buywithme]

That...

Actually that sounds quite fun. I think it's a good idea.

[sharpememory]

Are you sure that you have time to speed date?

[notiaraincluded]

I'd rather sit on the sidelines and watch. Probably take bets on how long until someone tries to beat the hell outta someone else.

[sharpememory]

I was kind of hoping for more romance and less people getting beaten up. I guess some wardens could supervise or something.

[scarlet_discord]

You know, I think the idea is awesome, and I hope you won't take it personally if I support it but don't show up myself.

[sharpememory]

Nah, of course not. You've got your own things to do.

[Private]

Besides, I can fill you in on all the drama that goes down later.

[timesbureaucrat]

And just what's wrong with aliens? [Not that Narvin wants to speed date anyway, but he does like arguing.]

[sharpememory]

I dunno, it just makes me feel a bit gross to think about getting with them. Although if the aliens really want to come, I guess they can.

[megamind]

Yes, wouldn't want any race mixing with you precious humans. [ So much sneering. ]

[sharpememory]

Dude, have you ever been with a human? We have got it going on.

[prayformefather]

You're that desperate to get a date?

[sharpememory]

I've actually had plenty of dates on the barge. I just feel sorry for everyone else. Maybe there'd be less fighting if people were busy with other stuff. Like Ladd hasn't done anything lately, has he? He's probably too busy taking Lua to dinner so they can be crazy together.

[truth_is_cold]

Usually I don't have any trouble finding someone that is into it. But I'm not one to pass up socializing.

[What the hell is speed dating anyway?]

[sharpememory]

That's the spirit! Just think of it as a meet and greet.

[takeyouapart]

[WELL SOMEONE HAS TO JUST FLAT OUT NOT KNOW.]

What is speed dating?

[sharpememory]

Oh, right. Okay, so you have a lot of tables around. Half the people stay in the same spot, the other half rotate around. You get about five minutes talking to each person before you move on. Then you pick who you like to have follow up dates if you want to.

[surfaceshine]

[That... is probably the sound of someone face-communicatoring.]

[ Audio ]

[sharpememory]

Hey, Dean. I think you're communicator is messing up because you're so excited at the idea of speed dating.

[aggravating]

Yeah, uh, was about to say. Best barge sex I've had? With an alien.

[Sob he misses drunk pool parties already :c ]

[sharpememory]

Really? Did you have alien sex a lot at home?

[nolongerhollow]

Ha! I'll join in just for the fun of it!

[sharpememory]

Man, that's the spirit! You're a warden, aren't you? Do you reckon that you could organize for the bar to provide some drinks?

[love_slave]

Well if aliens are included, I'll go.

[And she's bringing her robot head too. Enjoy that, guys.]

[sharpememory]

You should! I'm sorry about what I said before, it was a bit out of line.

[hunt4commonwealth]

Sure, I'll give it a go.

[sharpememory]

Sweet. I warn you though, I'm totally recruiting people to help with setting things up. You're now in charge of setting up tables.

[omar]

Sound like a good idea to me. [He sees your trolling, Barron. He likes it.] Don't know that I be a good fit, though. Might just observe.

...Think I do know someone who might have a real good time, at that. [And that's how Leslie got signed up for speed dating.]

Dammit, Crane. D:

[sharpememory]

We do need more people to help with security, if you'd like to do that.

Cool. They should totally come.

[intofireforever]

[Laura's given this some thought before replying.]

What the hell, count me in.

[She's not looking for romance but it might help her to make some new friends!]

[sharpememory]

Glad to hear it! It sounds like we're going to have a pretty good turnout.

[everlastingpieces]

[There's no reply here, but Mariska is planning to possibly make four of herself and crash the event to troll people. It all depends on whether she has anything better to do that day...]

[persuadeyou]

How bored are you?

[sharpememory]

On a scale of one to ten? Eleven.

Would you go to it, though?

[youwillgotohell]

'Speed dating?' [No she will not read anything Merlin's asked okay also what is socializing]

[sharpememory]

You don't know what it is?

[video]

[vainqueurdeluxe]

[Oh, Cashmere is leaning closer to her communicator and grinning.]

Oh? I've heard of this, but I've never actually taken part of it... [Because Districts weren't really allowed those luxuries... Especially she and her brother.]

Sounds like a good time to me.

[video]

[sharpememory]

Great, so you'll be there?

[curiositydies]

You must be incredibly bored if such an idea is the only thing you come up with for entertainment. [ really, SPEED DATING 8| ]

[sharpememory]

Oh, I am. I'm also a big fan of getting together with people, so you know. Two birds, one stone.
