It's Three Minute Dates Time!!
HEY GUYS. Valentine's Day is NEXT WEEK! You know what that means? It means the return of Three Minute Dates! On Saturday, February 13, you'll get to play out a series of dates with other characters. It's a great chance to meet new people and strike up some friendships, and maybe get a hookup. Maybe two if you're really good.
Or maybe you'll just find out the hard way about the sanctuary spell. That works too.
The rules:
*3 Minutes = 10 pings, up to 5 from each character. You can of course take a ping or two to wrap things up, but please be efficient. If you're going to need more time with the new love of your life (or of the night), there will be a regular Caritas post set after 3MD.
*3MD is open to both adults and teenagers. Teachers and students will never be paired together, but students and townies might be, provided they are close enough in age to not be too weird and possibly illegal, or I can't avoid it for some reason. If you've got a 2020 graduate you want to be paired with students, just say the word.
*An attempt to pair characters up by sexual preference will be made. That said, it all depends on signups and it's more likely that you'll end up with a mix of genders that you/your character may not have signed up for.
*You can sign up with as many on-island characters as you want, but please keep in mind that each one commits you to up to 5 threads with people in all sorts of time zones with all kinds of schedules. Try not to sign up more than you can reasonably handle. That way everyone can have a chance to complete all of their dates.
*The post will go up Friday evening, the 12th, and will be available for slowplay through the weekend. The bulk of the playing should take place on Saturday, but if you need to wrap things up on Sunday, that's fine. If you sign up and later find out that you won't be around at all on February 13, PLEASE let me know to take your characters off the list, especially if you've signed up with multiple characters. And if you know you won't be around at all that day, please don't sign up. It never feels good when somebody has a bunch of threads without any interaction.
At this stage in the game the number of rounds will depend entirely on the number of people who sign up. If we don't have enough for five rounds (hello I will start begging for student signups now), I may have to have round five be a second date with characters you've already had. If you want more interaction, please throw more characters in! Or harass your friends to sign their characters up! This is open to anyone who's on island. Do you conveniently have an alumni who might show up for the weekend and get roped in? GOOD. Would your character absolutely not do this and be nowhere near Caritas on purpose? I guess it's time to get kidnapped by some Fandom wildlife to hang out at a bar for up to fifteen or so minutes, or something! Are you in a committed, loving relationship? Don't care! In fact you probably should meet friends outside of it to keep it healthy.
SO. If you'd like to participate, drop a screened comment below with your character's name (how you want them listed in the post), type (student/townie/teacher/alum) and date preference (if any) by Thursday the 11th at midnight PST so I can smush all your characters together.
