So this is my first attempt at this. Please let me know what works and what doesn't. I'm going to assign pairs for the first round. After 3 *brief* posts from each character, the male will move to the next female in line by moving to the next table. (The bell will ring to indicate the date is done.)

(How you do these posts is up to you, but please make sure to include 1, 2, or 3 to be able to keep track) You do not need to wait until all dates are finished in the round to move to the next one, so long as your next date is also done with their previous match.

Moving from one date to the next:

If your male was at the bottom, it will go to the top and move that way.
Example:
Gabriel is listed in the first slot, after six posts have happened, (three from each him and Alexandra) the date is over. He will move to the next table and have three posts with Daylia.

Ending:

After all "dates" have concluded, I would like for each participant to send me a scorecard, rating each "date" as a 1-10 (ten being the highest) so I can set up potential matches to give this an "authentic" feeling, even though it isn't. XD

Remember

This is all for funzies of course - this thread is purely hypothetical and you can do with it what you want after it's all said and done. If you have two characters on here, you do not have to write their date out if you do not want to. Just post the characters' names and say "Date Omitted"

Questions, Skype me. You know my sn on there. Thanks!

Isabella waited patiently for her first 'date' to arrive, small fingers shredding a napkin under the table. She wasn't even sure what she was doing here. How had her name gotten on this list again? Green eyes flickered up every now and again as she exhaled...Trying to breathe. Why was she so nervous? Oh, because she was essentially on a blind date with a dozen different possible weirdos...

The dark haired woman put on her best smile and resisted the urge to whip out her phone to begin texting for an exit strategy. That smile froze when she realized whom her first partner was.

"You."

Oh for for the love of Jesús and all things holy...Who assigned this? Who hated her this much? What exactly had she done in a past life to warrant her face time with the one person who couldn't be more off limits?

If Katerina hadn't already wanted her dead as a door nail, she sure as hell would now.

"Hi you.", she corrected, clearing her throat to cover up her mistake. "...Fancy meeting you here...?"

Her jaw snapped shut as she blushed and looked at the table. She wasn't sure what to expect of an Omega. Some hated her, some were indifferent. The urge to scan Christian for a weapon was strong. The fact that she was 98% sure he willingly or unwillingly belonged to Katerina was...Really not helping that inclination.

                                    For a change of pace, the event couldn’t be all that bad… he reasoned to himself, trying to find the will to actually enjoy this charade. Considering the invitation he’d received asking him to attend, the cowboy did not want to be rude, but this sort of thing wasn't his style. There was one good thing though; no one took these sorts of things seriously, right? It was just a bunch of women on one side of a table, the men on the other, talking for five minutes and then moving down the line. The whole thing felt more like tagging cattle than he cared to admit, but at least this was harmless. He hoped.

                                    He took his seat at his first assigned table and gave a warm smile to the woman across from him. Donning a crooked smile, he tried to appear like he was having a good time. “Peyton, isn’t it?” Though they were on the same team, his time with the blond had been limited. His expression became scrutinizing as he glanced about the room but softened when his stare landed back on his "date." “Do you know who orchestrated this?

                                    Blake sat back and re-situated in the chair, realizing that he wasn't behaving like a gentleman. The attention should have been on her instead of the mystery of who made this night happen. “Beg your pardon, lady… it’s been awhile since I’ve done any sort of dating rodeo.” He admitted with a truthful twinkle sparkling in his eye.

She didn't know how any of this would work out. Speed dating had been something she only came to learn about upon arriving at the school. Mainly because she had never seen movies and tv shows before that included such a concept. Now here she was, sitting at one of these tables waiting for someone to come to her. Could people really pick someone they wished to pursue from such a short period of interaction?

As she pondered this, she noticed someone coming towards her. She looked up to see someone from her team. It was nice to see a somewhat familiar face.. She waited until he sat down before smiling politely at him. "I am sorry if I am awkward with this. I have never done this before." Alex figured that was best to get out of the way before offering her hand to him.

"While I believe we are on the same team, I do not recall having had a conversation before. If I am wrong, fell free to correct me." She smiled more while waiting for him to shake her hand. "My name is Alexandra. I go by Alex. Flarier on the field. I believe your name is....Gabriel? Siege on the frield?" She asked politely, hoping this wasn't the wrong way to start off a speed date.

            Oh ******** hell...

            Whoever signed her up for this ridiculous thing was going to get shoved through a wall. Repeatedly. Anyone who even knew of her should know that Magalena Rustaveli was not someone who would enjoy a few rounds of "speed dating". This thing was absurd. Absolutely positively absurd. How bored did a person have to be to come up with this horrid mess? They couldn't possibly expect actual relationships to come out of this. Maybe some casual sex. Definitely some awkward dates. But lasting relationships? It would take a damn miracle.

            Well whatever. This shouldn't take long, especially considering how she literally repelled people. Five minutes max and she'd be on her merry way. Right?

            With her arms crossed and her repulsive bubble fully active, she glared at the person who came to sit across from her. He looked vaguely familiar but her brain couldn't find a name to match the face. He had dark hair, blue eyes, and chiseled features... nothing that screamed "prince charming" at her. Just an average male. How boring.

            She stared at him with an uninterested expression and said, "My name is Magda. Who the ******** are you?" Now that, along with the repulsive aura, should theoretically make him uncomfortable enough to leave. That would be the ideal situation. But just in case he was one of those stubborn fools who possessed somewhat of an immunity to her repulsiveness...

            "I don't like to shower, I hate long walks on the beach, and Justin Bieber is my soul mate." That should do it. Those were definitely deal breakers... at least from what she'd seen. "Oh, if you're not going to buy me a moose, you might as well just leave."

            And she hoped to God this guy was sane enough to not stick around.

Round 1 |x| Post 1
Jacie


Jacen sat in his chair, leaning back on one chair leg in a haphazard balancing act, a foot placed on the table to help keep him upright. Truly the epitome of class, though at the same time, it wasn’t like these were actual dates. Either way, this would be a excellent exercise; it is a good thing to know who you're fighting beside, even if through a (very) brief meeting. Omegas and Alphas didn't interact enough in a non-rivalry based capacity, as far as he could ever tell. He cupped a hand over his mouth and nose and breathed out. Had he flossed today?

“Gracie, right?” He said, smiling a wide, bright smile at the woman taking a seat across from him. “Jacen Reilly. Jetsam in the field.” He tilted his head towards the fellow Omega, honestly, he unable to remember if they’d met before his recent hiatus.

“This is exciting, I’ve only ever seen these ‘speed dates’ on the television.” he said, finally leaning forward to sit like a normal person, arms crossed and elbows propping himself up on the tabletop. From what he could gather, these table-shuffling events were an important part of dating culture. “Though we’ll need at least one guy to barge in here and make a big speech about love to make it authentic...” he added, absent-mindedly looking around the room.

“So, what’s up?”

        Like several others, Gracie came for the entertainment of the event, not because she could take it seriously while she still waited for the legalities to see her free again. But after spending long stints under ground, the mutants grew restless, bored. There was only so much to do within their base, so the opportunity to shake things up a bit suited her enough to come and drag Daylia and Peyton along for the ride.

        Her first “date” was a fellow Omega, who was fidgeting in his chair before they were allowed to get started. She watched him cup his face and tilted her head as she tried to figure out just what he was doing. Breath check maybe?

        Taking a seat across from him, she returned his smile with one of her own and nodded at his question. “Jinx in the field.” She said. “I feel like we might have worked together a long time ago… or at least, I knew of you before.” Honestly, she couldn’t remember. So much had happened since she had left the X-men, and Jacen had only recently returned from his own hiatus.

        His excitement for the event elicited a velvety laugh. “I didn’t think people did this in real life.” She admitted. “The change of pace is nice. You can only walk on the treadmill so many days in a row before it’s boring.” Every day seemed to be drowned in the same tedium as the last; Gracie had started going stir crazy.

        Hazel eyes sparked to life when Jacen mentioned a speech to make it authentic. “Maybe someone will find love in this after someone tells them to take it seriously.” She added, remembering how this thing had gone down in Hitch. She glanced down the line of tables then, finding amusement in who all had come.

        I’m wondering… which people are most likely to shack up after this.” She observed, posing the question for Jacen to consider. “Care to guess?

⊀ Felix⊁

                                      Felix wasn’t quite sure how this whole thing had come about. Who exactly had thought that speed dating with the Alphas and Omegas was a good idea? Clearly they had a few screws loose. At the very least it should prove mildly entertaining, so he’d attended. There was certainly not going to be any shortage of attractive women to look at.

                                      The time came for the first of the speed dates to begin and Felix headed over to his table. Taking a seat across from Magda he stared at her to silently size her up. She wasn’t that bad, at least until she opened her mouth. Staring at her inquisitively as she gave a quick introduction and asked his name, the man shrugged. “Do you actually care to know it?” Despite her intentions, Felix was perfectly comfortable in this situation. It took a lot to make Felix uncomfortable.

                                      She continued speaking and Felix rose his eyebrows in amusement. “My my, it’s so refreshing to hear someone so honest.” Crossing his arms, Felix leaned back in his chair and quickly thought how best to respond. “First off, I’m sure your natural scent is quite nice. Secondly, who does like long walks on the beach? I mean honestly, it’s such a cliche.”

                                      Were they in some kind of romcom? “And, is that right about the biebs? You have the bieber fever? I don't think I could rock a bieb haircut, but maybe just for you darling. As for the moose, I’m sure that could be easily managed if you strike my fancy enough. Wouldn’t want you settling too low now would we.” Delivering it all with a perfectly straight face, it certainly looked like he was being serious. “And it’s Felix, not that you want to know, I’m aware. But it helps to have a name to a face I find.” She was proving amusing enough to earn that much.

                                      “Has anyone told you that you are mildly attractive? Lucky for you I like the plain jane type.” Again his face was perfectly straight. He wondered how long it would take before she stormed off.

                      Peyton had been spending some time with Daylia and Gracie, still undecided on whether or not they were actually worth spending time with. They had dragged her along to this stupid thing, it would probably end up being a strike against them. Orchid and Magda were still the closest things to friends she had, the great thing about them was that they didn't mind her bitchiness and bad moods. And if her bitchiness or bad mood were directed at one of them, they were just as likely to be bitchy right back. There was something she liked about that - that they didn't take her s**t. Still, it would be nice to have a few other friends to spend time with. On rough days she just wanted someone to snuggle up with her and make her feel like she mattered to someone...

                      She huffed a deep breath, trying to keep her disinterest at bay, to give this event a chance at least. Maybe she would find someone who wasn't completely miserable to be around.

                      The first of the boys she had been paired with seemed less interested in her and more curious about everything else. She leaned back with her arms crossed, waiting for his attention. And for a brief moment she had it. She gave him a small nod to confirm her name. They were on the same team, they should at least know that much about each other.

                      "Yes. And you’re Blake." she cut to the chase rather than playing coy with him. No one would accuse her of being tactful, blunt was more her style anyway. At the very least, he hadn’t gotten on her bad side yet. So far, he’d never been in her way, he’d never pissed her off. But she really hadn’t spent any time with him either.

                      When he asked if she knew who had planned the event she gave a disinterested shrug. "Someone who's either too desperate or too bored."

                      He seemed to realize his attention was wandering again and apologized. "Don’t call me ‘lady.’" she warned with a smile that stung with irritation. "And I don’t care what this is, we aren’t on a date, so relax." His whole pathetic puppy act was off-putting to the blonde. Her tone rang with annoyance but softened slightly as she told him to relax.

                      "So, have you ever actually been in a rodeo? Or are you one of those ‘cowboys’ that talks the talk but doesn’t walk the walk." She was from Reno - they lived for rodeos, drinking and gambling. There may have been the hint of a challenge in her tone as she questioned him.
