Get In Losers We're Going Speed Dating

[selfhelp]

Hello everyone, today is the magical day of Speed Dating 101!

Remember the sign-ups from last week? Well, they've been organized. Somehow. The IC log will be going live sometime today (probably after I've slept, eh-heh) but I wanted to post the roster so you guys can do any plotting beforehand if you like. It was easier to Googledoc it, so the spreadsheet is HERE. There are tabs are for both Friendship and Romantic pairs, so check each of them if you signed up for both. (If you have difficulty with Googledocs, comment below with your character's name and I'll give you the roster directly.)

A few notes:

• As you'll notice, there's a lot of names on those lists. Since there were a lot of nonspecific preferences in the sign-ups (as well as mixed-up answers) some poor suckers have about 30 partners! That would be a lot of threads, even if they could be short. So if you feel overwhelmed by the number, feel free to talk amongst yourselves, handwave, or just assume there wasn't enough time to get through everyone. Thread however much you're comfortable with |Db
  
• All of the partnering was done based on how the characters were signed up, so any errors based on preference is probably due to that. Billy did his best and made some guesswork if the answers were confusing, so some pairings might be a bit wonky.
  
• Since Billy has no idea of who has existing CR/are castmates/whatever for the most part, characters might be paired with people they know! If that's the case they can either skip out on that turn or chat them up anyway. He left out a few that he did know (for friendship, anyway).
  
• If Billy saw any sign-ups he knew were wrong, he corrected them. (Case in point being Richard getting signed-up for heteromance.)
  
• As stated previously, Billy's not going to force anyone to come. An invitation with the date and time of the event would've been sent out to every character signed up, but that's the extent of his convincing. Your character (or your character's friends) are responsible for getting them there.
  
• If there are any glaring errors that's due to organizational mix-up and you can't live without it being fixed, do tell me! I can fix it!!

I think that's pretty much it :B Questions/issues/whatever go in my thread below, and feel free to plot in this entry or elsewhere, as you please.


EDIT: Due to the lists being done and spread around and plotting in-progress I WILL BE ACCEPTING NO MORE SIGN-UPS FOR THIS EVENT. Sorry dudes.

oh right I should do this too

Asch is paired up romantically with Adele, Adalinda, Asami, Elizabeth (from Bioshock), Fenimore, Laura, and Sabriel. Assuming he can actually be convinced to go I'm game for threads. Asch's thread count right now is pretty low so I'd love to have some harmless fun with him. |D Though he is kind of prickly, sorry ladies.

[blessingone]

Maybe she can tell him how Sophie's doing instead to try to break the ice. Little does she know that the ice in the Asch Social Sea is thick enough to sink an icebreaker.

[selfhelp]

lmao best way to flirt, HEY LET'S TALK ABOUT THE CHILD OF YOUR PREVIOUS LOVE INTEREST-

no but seriously that's a good idea, Asch didn't really mind Sophie when she wasn't calling him Ass.

[blessingone]

Hahaha, I was just thinking that it was going to be bringing up his previous love interest. Well, I'm guessing that it will become clear pretty quickly that flirting with Asch is a lost cause.

I wonder if Sophie will ever both to learn how to pronounce the name properly or whether it will become enshrined as his nickname?

[selfhelp]

I would hope that she's old enough to get it right or someone would want to stop a four year old from swearing but then again it's kind of funny, so... /OTL

[blessingone]

Haha, I imagine that Fenimore will try to get her to stop if Sophie talks to Asch again and is continuing to do this once she realizes that Sophie can make the sounds now. But the rule of funny makes me reluctant to do so, so it would probably be a slow process.

(P.S. If Fenimore does start talking about Sophie, there may be moments in which I will stop replying for short periods of time if I need to verify with Vyc that I am being accurate. But those probably won't be long pauses.)

[dissonates]

I can handle slowness, it's not biggie. I've been slow myself lately.

[thebellthatbinds]

It makes me giggle to no end that he got paired up with Sabriel and Adele. XD

[selfhelp]

My sleepy brain isn't working- why is it funny? |D;; or is it just the age range or

[thebellthatbinds]

I guess it falls under the age range category, Sabriel sees Adele as a mother figure.

[dissonates]

Pfft okay yes I can see the humour

Gosh Adele what a cougar

[tokennonbender]

I did not realize how much I wanted this CR until just now.

It would either go really well or terribly, I think.

[selfhelp]

Oh gosh I was hoping I'd get to thread with Asami c:

And it really depends on how much of Asch's antisocial nature she can put up with. He can be very polite! He's gotten better. Just... kinda curt and dismissive, too.

[tokennonbender]

Hmm. You know, I'm not actually sure how much of that she can deal with. I suppose we shall find out!

[fleurdesel]

Asch and Adele can be prickly at each other. It'll be such a fun conversation.

[selfhelp]

Maybe they can bitch about how neither of them actually signed up for this and omg why are they even here dammit Jack/Loki

[antivanleather]

That's something to bond over! Geeze, those two don't understand how much they don't need help. Really. They got this, bros.

[selfhelp]

And then no one actually got laid that night

[antivanleather]

Sad but true.

[tearmeanewone]

Prickly is no problem for Elizabeth! /o/ I'd be so down to thread if you can get him there. :D

[dissonates]

It's a miracle when he finds someone to tolerate him. I'm looking forward to this |D

[inventings]

We should totally thread it out. Addie is used to prickly people at this point of her life and I'll love to see Asch's reaction to her flirting and flattering.

[dissonates]

he'll probably die

but no I'd be cool with that!
