Summary: Log for speed dating!
The Story:



The coffee shop has been set up with multiple small tables, each two chairs and a number assigned to it. Loki has, of course, gone all out. There is another, longer table with various finger-foods on it, and a variety of refreshments both alcoholic and not.

Every participant will get a sheet with the number of the table they will be going to on each round, as well as spots to fill out information about their date should they choose to do so. If a late-comer who has not signed up happens to come in... well, Loki will make it work. While participating in dates himself, of course. It is no fun just to organize.


OOC
Dates have been randomly selected by Random Pair. There will be four rounds. Each round lasts 14 tags - seven from each player. At the end of the fourteenth tag, the bell will ring to change tables.

If your character is not part of the sign ups, feel free to tag into a round with 'open' as your pairing.

There will also be a post-dating mingle, if your characters got cut off by that terrible bell.

"Rude. I put in all this effort and you do not appreciate it at all." Loki gave a dramatic sigh, flopping back in his chair as if Billy was killing him. He was a ham by nature, but he might have to admit to playing it up even farther just because it made Billy grin more. Loki was always happy to bask in the attention.

"Oh I appreciate it, my appreciation know now bounds. Such apprciatation, much wow." Billy smirks happily at him, amused by his antics. "You're ridiculous, you know that?"

[hashtagging]

That won him a smile in return. "I have heard it mentioned once or twice. I prefer the term 'eccentric.'"

[actualwizard]

"Of course you do. That's the least surprising thing I've ever heard." Loki brings out the sass in him. "So, you have experience with this, how does this speed dating thing work? We just talk for five minutes?" Really how does this dating thing work, he has no experience with either really. It's only always been Teddy until now.

[hashtagging]

"Yes. We talk and get to know each other -" As if they did not know each other rather well. "- and decide afterwards if we would like to meet up again, this time without time limits."

Do not ask Loki, his only experience involved him being under a spell.

[actualwizard]

"So, kind of what we normally do?" As soon as the words leave his mouth he stammers because thats not at all how he meant for that to sound. "I mean, because we're friends. And thats what friends do, they meet up and hang out without time limits and not- I mean." He groans burying his face in his hands.

[hashtagging]

Laughing at Billy tripping over his words might be cruel, but Loki cannot help it. It is, dare he think it, cute.

"Yes, like we normally do. As friends. The friendliest friends."

[actualwizard]

Sure, laugh at his awkwardness.

"So you signed me up for speed friending?"

[hashtagging]

He is a great friend.

"Yes, precisely. Is it working yet?"

[actualwizard]

The best, really.

"Does it count if we are already friends?"

[hashtagging]

"Obviously! After all, the entire point is that we become friends by the end of it. So what if we started friends beforehand?"

It warmed something in Loki's dark heart to hear Billy call him his friend.

[actualwizard]

"I feel like that's cheating." He pointed out with a wry grin. "Are we cheating at speed dating? I didn't know that was possible."

[hashtagging]

"We might very well be. I am proud of you, cheating on my game." The bell Loki had set up to ring tolled, making him stand with a chuckle. "Though there are some rules I must abide by. So shoo, go to your next friendly date."
