Speed Dating
Who: Anyone who signed up for the Speed Dating
When: Friday evening
Where: The Raconteur
Rating: You be the judge lol



Bushara had reserved the entire Raconteur for the event, and with the help of Ben and a few others she managed to set up a number of tables for the event. She had asked one of the more organized students from Sphinx to help her situate the tables in a way that would allow all of the participants to meet with the desired gender without causing any confusion.

She had been kind enough to purchase a drink voucher for everyone, but after the first drink they would need to purchase their own. The tables were set up with enough distance to provide a feeling of intimacy for each table. There were note cards in the shape of hearts on each table for people to exchange numbers or love notes.

One of the employees had gracefully volunteered to be the one in charge of keeping time and ringing the bell when time was up just in case Bushara wanted to participate for fun. The lighting was dim, and the music was smooth to help create the atmosphere that was needed. She hoped everyone would have a great time, and possibly even find some couples going home together.

Later in the evening

Kana was doing better at being social lately, but she would never have gone to the speed dating thing if Sara hadn't decided to go. She found a table near her friend so that they could talk in between "dates". It was always nice to have someone to talk to that she was comfortable with.

She wore a black skirt which she had embroidered the bottom half of a dragon circling her waist with a mountain scene. Her top was made from an old ruined black kimono that she salvaged. There was a space between her skirt and the top which showed her stomach, something that she was somewhat nervous about, and she had embroidered the top of the dragon along with some clouds around the top.

She turned back to face in front of her after talking with Sara for a bit about the last guy, but when she heard the chair move she turned to face the new person were a shy smile. "Hi."

Sorin's clothes were secondhand, but he didn't mind in the least. He was just glad they fit and didn't sag off his frame - which was putting on some muscle, thank you very much! He was eager to participate in the speed dating, thinking it was a great idea to meet new people. It was one of his favorite activities.

It was the kind of thing he didn't pressure his friends into doing with him, especially not the group of refugees, so he was pleased to see Ellie show up. A little like an over-protective older brother, he tracked her movements through the room, giving her a smile whenever she met his eyes and making note of whoever she sat with and how she responded to them.

His attention was pulled back to his own surroundings when the bell went off and it was his turn to slide into the line up. A bright smile spread over his face when he approached Kana's table, and Sorin reached out to offer a handshake - which was more of just a warm clasp when he gave his hand to a beautiful girl. Guys, on the other hand, received firm grips.

"Hello. You are Kana, yes? I'm Sorin. I have seen you around, but I do not think we have talked before." Sorin settled into the seat in front of Kana, leaning forward slightly to hear her over the group of people. Kana was not known for being very loud or outspoken and he wanted to catch every word.

Kana actually liked the way that Sorin was dressed. She could tell the clothes were seconhand, having spent so much time in secondhand stores herself, but he obviously chose nice clothes rather than whatever he could find. As usual her mind began thinking of the possibilities, but she decided to try and push those thoughts to the side for now so she could actually pay attention to the boy.

She likely would have blushed if she knew he considered her pretty. She knew this form was not her real form anymore, but it was her human form until she learned to manipulate it; therefore it was always nice to get complimented on it.

Kana nodded to the question of her name. "It's nice to meet you Sorin," she smiled. She was still not sure how the whole thing was supposed to go with these dates. "You're one of Ellie's friends aren't you?"

"Da! Ellie is my blood sister. We come from Romania together last year." Sorin's accent was enough to give away that he was not from the United States, but most people at the school were not. Sorin nodded at Kana, hoping to coax her into talking about herself. "You look beautiful. I love the dragon." Sorin gestured to the dragon on her top, leaning in closer to see the details.

"Where are you from? If I remember hearing, and the rumors are correct, you are the daughter of the art teacher, yes? And she is from Japan. This I know. Is true for you, too?"

It was possible for a child to be born in another country but have the heritage of another, of course. People's origins were always fascinating to Sorin, even if they all ultimately came from the same evolution.

As usual, when complimented on her appearance the temperature around her went up a few degrees. It was nothing too uncomfortable, and she no longer feared catching things on fire; however, it was something that happened. She looked down at her top and began rubbing her fingers along the embroidery of the dragon as she blushed a bit. "Thank you," she replied, "You look handsome too. I like the way you were able to create a nice looking outfit from what you had. It fits you well." Plus he was quite attractive in general.

She nodded in answer to her mother being the art teacher. It was not something she hid anymore. Their relationship had gotten much better over the year and especially ever since Kana was brought back as a full kitsune. "I was born in New York," she informed him, "But I lived with her in Japan during this last summer."

"What's your home like?" she asked wanting to make sure she was showing interest in him as well.

There was a flicker of sadness that crossed Sorin's features before he looked down at the table and picked up a piece of the heart shaped paper. The summoner folded the side, his fingers gliding over the crease. They only had a short time to talk, so he cleared his throat and summoned up his smile again. "Oh, I do not remember."

Sorin shrugged and pressed the heart paper to the table, trying to keep the tone light. "I only remember the feeling of family. The loyalty of the gypsies is strong. Only... not strong enough to stop a hunter from kidnapping their children."

There was no bitterness in his voice, only sadness. Sorin didn't blame his gypsy family for his kidnapping. He only had vague but pleasant memories of the group of travelers before he as taken as a six year old and imprisoned.

As Kana listened to his story, she began to look on him with sympathy. She reached her hand out to take his, the warmth surrounding them both ridding any of the cold temperature that may still remain from the door's opening and closing. She felt so bad for him as he told her the story. She hadn't meant to bring up sad memories while they were supposed to be having an enjoyable time. She was probably the worst date anyone could have ever had. It was no wonder she kept being rejected by others.

"I'm sorry," she told him, "I didn't mean to upset you." She held Sorin's hand gently as she spoke. He had been so happy when he first sat down. She wished she could do something more to help him return to a good mood, but she just wasn't good at stuff like that.

Ellie wasn't certain what she was doing here. This sort of event had never really been her thing, but she'd promised herself she wouldn't be the wallflower anymore. Would focus more on being comfortable in her own skin. Look for happiness and contentment within herself instead of looking for it from others. Ultimately, that was why she was here. She was here to have fun for herself, not trolling for validation.

To that end, she wore some of the new items she'd gotten second hand. She thought the outfit looked good on her. The flat iron had been taken to her hair in an effort to tame her wild curls, and she was wearing just a hint of makeup.

The notepad at the table she sat at were cute! The urge to doodle on them was too great, so when someone sat down across from her she was lost in drawing stick kittens pouncing each other.

Fred wasn't too into this whole thing, but Cait had talked her into it. Well, maybe not talked her into it exactly, but manipulated her into doing it. Whatever. It was fine, she would make the best of it. Just hang out with some people for a little while. Who knows? Maybe she'll find someone hot to talk to that's not going to just want to fall in love. Fred wasn't really worth loving anyways, and it was weird that there were two girls who seemed to have those feelings towards her.

She wouldn't have dressed up at all if it weren't for the fact that she knew Cait would have told her she should've at least tried a bit, so there she tried at least a bit.

When the bell rang, she left the last girl and moved on to the table with the redhaired girl Ellie. She was definitely a lot better to look at than the last girl, but it had been a while since the two of them actually talked. "Sup?"

Ellie's head snapped up from her doodling then smiled meekly with her cheeks turning pink for getting caught not paying attention. "Oh, hi Fred!" Her smile lifted as she pushed the notepad to the side.

They didn't talk very often, and when they did Ellie felt as if Fred were kind of looking down her nose at her. Not everyone got along. Ellie understood that. Before, it kind of bothered her, but right now she reminded herself she was just here to have fun. Not impress anyone.

"You look nice," she said with a nod toward Fred's outfit. "No way I could pull tha' off."

Fred smirked as the girl pushed the doodling aside. She really didn't blame Ellie for getting bored and playing with the provided note cards. If Fred had been stuck at one of the tables she probably would just sit there writing possible song lyrics. Only reason she wasn't doing something like that now was because she was one of the unfortunate people who had to keep moving.

"Thanks," she replied, "And yeah ya could." It wasn't being supportive or anything, she said it as though it were just a fact. It was after all. Ellie had an amazing figure and great legs. The accent and the red hair just sort of added to the overall hotness. She reached over and pulled the doodle over to look at it more closely. "Guessing that everyone's been riveting so far," she grinned and winked at Ellie.

She would be surprised to hear herself described that way. Ellie always felt like a backward, silly girl with hardly anything going for her. The recent rejection by Rider and then Bayani had kind of solidified that opinion of herself. She had reached the point where she was forcing herself to not care. It worked some of the time.

She chuckled as she wrinkled her nose. "It's jest the beginnin', but mostly tis been boys sittin' where you are, an' I've kinda lost any use fer tha' lot. Puffed up arses." But she was still attracted to boys. Still, they'd have to make a very big impression to make her not yawn in their faces at the moment.

A laugh escaped Fred at the description of the boys. Fred didn't have anything against guys or anything, she just never really found herself attracted to any of them. "Not gonna get an argument from me," she smiled, "Never had a use for them to begin with."

"By the way," she said lifting her eyes from the doodle to meet the witch's, "You look pretty good." She grinned as she gazed into Ellie's eyes. "So what kinda stuff you into?"

Lucia Steals The Bell (again) and OPEN
[info]eisfraulein
2016-02-13 10:20 pm UTC (link)
Lucia was fascinated by most things humans did. This included but was not limited to the kind of shoes they wore, the color of their shampoo, their reaction to a sudden cold breeze, and lately, their emotional interactions with each other.

Lucia arrived wearing a large knitted pale pink sweater dress that was covered in hand made paper flowers. She was excited and it was causing her to emit faerie dust, which glittered on her skin and was left behind her wherever she walked or sat down. Most people she touched would have traces of it on them - not to mention they would feel how cold she was to the touch. The winter faerie had skin that wasn't just white, it was white as snow. Her hair lacked any pigment whatsoever and her lips were blue. Her eyes were an icy azure, faded to almost appear white themselves.

She looked inhuman, to say the least. But most humans assumed she was an albino and tried not to stare.

The last time Lucia was at a speed dating event, put on by Adrian the strange green fairy cousin, there had been a bell. Lucia was right in thinking there would be one here this time as well. It chimed and she perked up, absolutely ignoring the boy sitting in front of her who had been blabbing on about how much he could lift in the gym. Eyes bright, she stood, squarely facing the poor unfortunate soul who worked for the restaurant.

Now ignoring the next boy who came to sit with her, Lucia walked straight past them towards the bell ringer. "My turn." She held her hand out to him expectantly.

She wore her favorite dress, she had to dress to impress after all.

Kristen wasn't sure what she was doing, getting herself involved in another dating exploit but she justified it as supporting a friend's event.

She was dressed in a ankle length blue skirt and a greet quarter-sleeve top. Rather than her usual pigtails she wore her long red hair down, with a hair band. She sat at the table and looked around nervously. She didn't really expect that anyone would sit at her table, which meant she was probably in for an awkward night.

Bushara wasn't completely sure why she had decided to hold this little event. She enjoyed socializing with others and helping to make people happy. She also realized that there were no parties or events occurring other than the roses, so she just felt like doing something nice. She had been doing a great many nice things for others ever since returning from meeting with her mother. She chose to participate in the event mostly for her own amusement.

She wore a dress that was likely fancier than most people's dress who showed up for the event, but she simply felt like looking good for it. Most people knew of hers and Alicia's relationship; therefore, no one thought anything would happen, so she simply had pleasant conversations and made a few new acquaintances.

When she approached Kristen she smiled as she sat down across from the girl. "I hope you're having an enjoyable time my dear."

Kane and OPEN
[info]theyloveme
2016-02-14 03:22 pm UTC (link)
Kane was always dressed well, it was impossible for him to do anything else, but he was in a nice suit with a tie for this one. He was far more at ease in formal wear than most people were in pajamas. For right now, his powers were leashed, allowing only for the passive sexual vibe from him to take over. But he rarely needed more than that little aura of lust and his own good looks to get what he wanted.

The past few days meant he had many lovers and they were all fun, but Kane also enjoyed the chase. He liked talking to people as well as having sex with them, a good mix was more entertaining for him. Plus it was a good way to meet the student population. With each person who sat down he enveloped them in his warm presence, in his soft attraction but dark eyes and suggestive smile. He asked them about their desires and interests. Most people who stepped away from him would feel flushed. It was just his way.

Now he was settled in his chair, an arm thrown over the back, casually tapping his fingers on the table and eyeing his next victim guest. This was a very entertaining first start, although he had a fun plan for later on.

Ellie hadn't been paying attention when she switched tables. She'd run into someone she knew, stopped to chat and shoot a grin and a wave to Sorin from across the room. This meant she sat down with a chipper smile on her face before realizing who she was across from.

"Hello-oh!" The smile froze as she blinked widening eyes. Wow. Someone was pretty! Fortunately, she recognized him, knew what he was and, thanks to Kane behaving himself, was able to pull herself together. Wariness entered her eyes as she reminded herself of her recent promise. "Hi," she was able to say as she held her hand out. "I'm Ellie."

The first part of a skilled seduction was being able to read people. Kane learned that skill when he was young and it only became more sophisticated with time. His own face was carefully masked and always exactly what he wanted to portray. Which was confidence, warmth, and genteel politeness. Kane actually had no class or culture to speak of, but his clothes and the way he carried himself said otherwise. When Ellie sat down, he tilted his head curiously, his smile curious.

"Hello Ellie, I'm Kane." He reached out to take her hand, his own warm and soft. There was not a callous on his hands, not a mark on his skin. "Your hair is beautiful, I hope you don't mind I say so, I don't think I've seen it that shade before. My sister would die to have a natural color like that." Kane's voice was a natural drawl, smooth and rich.

Where Kane excelled at schooling his features and showing nothing, Ellie was an open book. Easily read, and there was nothing to be done to hide the pink that came to her cheeks for the compliment. Her own hand was rough. Not exactly calloused, but certainly not the hand of a lady of leisure.

"Thank you," she said as she took her hand back only to catch at a lock of the hair he'd admired around her fingers. "Tis all natural an' a pain most days." Her head tilted to one side. "We spoke online. Yer the one wha' doesna like the cold." Among other details, but she wasn't going to mention those. Ahem.

"And is that a Scottish accent I detect? Very fitting." Kane smiled as she curled the hair around her fingers and made a pretty picture with her blush and sincerity. What a sweet little thing. He wondered if the fire she told him about extended to the bedroom. It wasn't a terrible thought, even if he had no interest in burning in a bed. A little scalding never hurt anyone.

"That's right. I'm from Vegas, born and bred, forty is cold for us." He sighed, but at least he was typically warm in his layers and suits. And feeding off others made him burn hot for hours afterward. Not that he was going to share that right away. He was playing off her conversation at the moment. "Did your parents send you across the sea to the school?" He knew nothing about the Anton Castle otherwise he would never have asked.

Proud of her heritage and origins, Ellie beamed a smile with her chin lifted. "Aye. Even after bein' gone fer years it stuck." Her nose wrinkled as her smile became a little sheepish. "I'm told it gets worse the more emotional I get." Or when she'd been drinking. Ahem.

As for how warm she made things during bedroom antics she'd have to ask Dana or Sorin. It hadn't ever been a concern.

Her chin sunk into her hand as she giggled. "You must hate it here, then."

His question got a big reaction from her. Ellie was so used to people at the school knowing her history that it took her by surprise. She visibly paled as her she straightened in her chair. Hazel eyes went wide, faintly stained lips parted and she felt as if her blood had turned to ice. It took a moment for her to realize that he was so new there was no possible way for him to know.

"No," she said in a voice haunted by her past. "I havena seen me family since I was a wee lass." She was right about her accent getting thicker under the influence of her emotions. "I uh...was captive in a dreadful place. Only been here jest under a year."

A little later in the event, Kane will let loose some of his real abilities, but not just for himself, for everyone in the room. Consider it him helping love get a little bost. ;) The room will feel charged with attraction and pheromones. While none of it will cause anyone to do something they wouldn't ordinarily, consent is sexy, it might very well lead to some couples or vibing pairs to decide to skip the talking and have some fun. >.> Have fun with this if you feel like it, or ignore it, either way. The game is on lol.
