Charlie, I'm striking out on finding you a new boyfriend. It's not because I'm not trying, or because the boys around here are ugly or anything. It's just that there are so many potential matches, I can't decide who would be the perfect match for you!

So I consulted Nepeta, and we came up with a terrific idea! Speed dating! It's all the fun of a regular date in a tenth of the time, plus you get to date a ton of different people and nobody bats an eye or talks bad about you for it! It's a win-win!

[She sounds way too excited for this.]

Now, Charlie, Nepeta and I arranged this whole thing for you, so of course you'll be attending. Now all we need are a few more willing participants ready to meet the love of their lives!

We've got space rented out at [insert some location here!] and you'll be dining on delicious Italian food, courtesy of my kitchen. I'm a good cook, you can totally ask anyone. And best of all, there's no fee, because Nepeta and I are doing this out of the goodness of our hearts! We just want everybody to be happy!

(( ooc: This is in relation to the speed dating love plot! Feel free to sign up there! ))

You're feeding people just to have them talk to other people?

[ SWEET DEAL DUDE ]

Uh-huh.

And also so they will find true love.

At least the meal's guaranteed!

[ Since she laughed a little at true love -- not like that it doesn't exist or something but really she bets it takes more time. ]

Yeah! And it's gonna be totally delicious, too. I make awesome garlic bread.

With fresh garlic and everything? Please tell me it's fresh, not just the powdered stuff!

Well, duh. That's the only way to make it.

Unless Mister Anti-Spice decides to intervene.

[she's watching you, shinji :|]

Guess the saying about too many chefs in one kitchen is a saying for a reason! I'm sure Mr. Anti-Spice can suck it up for a little while. Good luck with all of this!

Thanks! Are you gonna come?

I don't know, a meal someone else makes is pretty tempting, but how exciting could speed dating possibly be?

[ Then again it could be amusing to have random social interaction, if just -- Speed dating. She'd feel so twenty-four or something! ]

Think of it this way... You might now meet the love of your life, but who's to say you won't make a new friend or two? Some of my best friends back home were guys I used to go out with.

[ Okay, you make a good point, girl. Collette loves few things past extreme sports ~~and flying~~ better than making friends, since her interest in the rest is pretty much shrug and let's flirt but never worry about anything past that. ]

I do love making friends! Why not. As long as everything's totally accessible, count me in!

[giddily clapping! aw yeah!]

I'll put your name right at the top of the list.

... What is your name, anyway?

[ Another laugh from her, if man, she needs to get better at these introductions at the start! ]

Collette! My name's Collette. Who are you?

I'm one of the gazillion Jessica's in the world. It is so nice to meet you!

Nice to meet you too! You know, I always figured Jennifer was a more common name. I swear I know five different Jennifers back home alone. Maybe it's a "J" thing. J's a very popular letter for names!

It's because J is a great letter. Lots of my friends have J names. There's other Jessica, and Johnny, and Julian, and Jack. And my boyfriend is Jason.

I knew some pretty great J's back home, too! James, Jake... A Justin too, this one nurse I knew!

I'm pretty sure it's the most popular letter there is. Though, M is pretty popular too.

M's a good letter, if I admit, I've got a personal bias toward C, too!

Haha, well, yeah, duh! C's a good letter, too. It's versatile, what with the ability to make multiple sounds and all of that.

Plus it's great for sailing on.

[ Okay, terrible joke, and she knows it, without caring all that much. ]

[She's quiet for a moment before bursting into laughter.]

Oh wow! That was really bad!

Guess stand up comedy isn't my future calling!

[ Granted, she started laughing when Jessica did. ]

I'm sure you have many other talents.

I can play a mean kazoo.
