ok no but hold up can i put in someone else's information
you know not as a joke but on their behalf because they're shy or something

I can't see why not, as long as they're okay with it. I don't want anyone to get stood up.

ok
but do i need their permission explicitly

What? Look, just make sure that they show up and commit to their date. You can sign up whoever you want as long as you take responsibility for holding up their end of the bargain. This is a date service, not a prank service.

look im not aiming to prank anyone
just trying to push them out of their comfort zone a little

Alright, let's quit beating around the bush. Who is it?

oh my god i have more than one friend that could use some help
but it was thinking jill valentine
not because i think she needs romantic adventures (i think she has someone waiting for her back home or something) but she could like
use more friends or shit

Oh, God.

It's not that I don't agree with you, because I do, but I don't think she's a good candidate for this.

She's a good woman, but I've never met anyone that knows how to bring a room down like she does. I'd love for her to have a good time, but I don't want to risk someone else's good time for her sake. If someone just so happens to sign up looking for someone to commiserate with, we can talk, but otherwise it would be cruel of me to put her with someone that is putting their trust in me to find someone they can click with for the evening.

But I'll let you know if a potential match comes up.

hm i ever really encountered this problem but then i'm also like not the most uplifting person so i believe you

but i appreciate your response larry that was really thoughtful
keep me posted if anyone comes up and i'll talk to her too if that happens
otherwise i guess im just dragging her to a party with me as friends do

Maybe it's just because it's this time of year, but she's been talking a lot to me about how much she misses home and all the terrible things that have happened while she was there.

You're not uplifting? Why, because you're informative and direct?

I'll be there too. Are you bringing your partner?

she doesn't have hell of a lot of people to talk to
kinda dont blame her
but she might need a good ear on someone else for it

oh larry sweet larry you havent seen me at my worst
don't worry im as fucking depressing as the rest of them when i get enough bottles in me

yeah i will
mohammed avdol
you got anyone youre bringing?

I'm starting to wonder if I'm the only one here without a dark side!

[I mean, he does have one, but it's way behind him at this point.]

I don't have any formalized plans yet. My default is to go stag and pick someone up there, but I'll fill in if we have an odd number of blind date applications.

Oh, this looks like so much fun! How do I do the submitting privately?

Edited 2019-12-19 16:29 (UTC)

One second.

[A few moments later, Larry uploads a screenshot from his own device. He's doodled little instructions on the screenshot to show how to set a message to private.]

Like this?

Name: I am Minarii!
Your age and the range you'd like your partner to be: I am 500, but anyone who is adult is good!
Do you want to, or are you open to moonlacing: Yes! I want to do this, it seems fun!
How would you describe yourself? I am very tall and also very happy. I like to do fun things and meet new people.
What kind of things would ideally happen during your date? We have food and get to know eachother!
What kind of things do you absolutely not want to happen during your date? I do not want to be sad. That is all.
What traits would you find attractive in a partner? Someone who is happy and likes to make others laugh. Maybe good at kissing, too.
What traits do you absolutely do not want your partner to have? Be mean and rude to people! That is very much a turn-off.

Yeah, you got it! Nicely done.

Thanks, I'll let you know who your match is when I find them!

Exciting!

This seems like a lot of work for little payout.

[Also she's semi-interested but isn't sure how to fill the thing out.]

For me, you mean?

Well, yes. But what if you don't get anyone doing it, hard to pair up people when you don't have any?

[Defensively:] I have a few already!

A-anyway, it wouldn't be a problem, even if that was the case. We'd just go as a small group together.

[Aw, Larry being defensive is kind of adorable.]

So you've got a date already then? Or are you in this blind date pool too?

Oh, I'm not shy about going stag to parties. But I don't mind filling in if we end up with an odd number, either.

Huh. So um...

What if someone isn't sure how to fill your form in?

What do you mean, "how"? Just copy and paste! It's nothing fancy.

I know that but like the information, what if they don't know how a date should go?

Hmm...

I guess you could just say that, if that's the case. Think about it as...just hanging out with someone at a fancy place? What do you imagine as something fun happening in that kind of setting?

Well if I go by what was fancy back home... [She means Homeworld, not Earth.]

A lot of dancing but only with your designated caste and no stepping out of line. [So NO FUN ALLOWED.]

[Space rocks have castes?

Welp.]

Mm, the dancing is probably accurate for this place, but the caste thing can be left at home.

But it's what you want to do, not what you think someone's expecting you to do.

[Well used to. Has a whole hierarchy even!

But that's for some other post.]

I... Think I get it.

[A beat.]

Well good luck with your date stuff, Larry.

Thanks, Lapis!

[Well. She's done a pretty spectacularly bad job of finding company on her own, so maybe...]

just for fun, right? i mean it says date but i'm not really looking for anything serious. i don't think a lot of people are.

Don't think about it so literally. It's only as serious as you want to make it. I'll make sure you end up with someone that wants the same thing.

what's the worst that could happen?
i'm setting myself up with that one aren't i? maybe don't answer it

Name: tenten
Your age and the range you'd like your partner to be: 20. at least 18, under... 30?
Do you want to, or are you open to moonlacing: it's okay if it happens, but no pressure either way
How would you describe yourself? i'm a weapons specialist. all kinds! adventurous i guess, i like learning about new things. ...this is harder than i thought it would be.
What kind of things would ideally happen during your date? a ball kind of comes with certain expectations already, doesn't it? i know how to dance so don't be shy!
What kind of things do you absolutely not want to happen during your date? don't be a stick in the mud, it's a celebration. enjoy it with me!
What traits would you find attractive in a partner? someone who likes to fight, strong, loyal, and dependable. outgoing. mature! don't be weird.
What traits do you absolutely do not want your partner to have? it's okay if they're kind of shy but i don't want to be stuck at a table having a one way conversation all night. rude, boring. is anyone actually interested in those sorts of things?

That's usually the question I ask right before I find out exactly what is the worst that could happen.

Cute name, by the way. Is it because you're a ten out of ten?

my aim is, anyway

Nice.

[Gotta love those comebacks that could be read into as a threat. They're the best kind!]

I'll message you privately when I find a suitable match!

[She can back it up, too.]

sounds good. good luck with all this!

[Ace is a bit surprised by the advertisement, and stares for a minute before answering. On one hand, he doesn't really need a date, he's fine going stag and hanging out with friends, if he decides to even bother attending at all. On another hand, he needs to meet more people and he could use more moonlacing partners...

But it also seems like something that has a catch to it. Who does this kind of thing out of the goodness of their heart?]

this is actually a pretty great idea. but what's in it for you?

The satisfaction of a job well done, of course!

I'm not kidding, by the way -- I like getting people set up and making sure they have a good time. It's fun.

seriously? that's pretty cool of you. i think i might take you up on this. i wasn't going to go but it can't hurt to have some fun and meet someone new. right?

Yeah, that's the idea!

If someone wants to not go because it's not their scene, that's cool, but I'd hate for someone to feel like they couldn't go because they don't have someone to go with, or because they feel like they'd be lonely if they went alone. That shouldn't be the reason someone misses out!

you're a good guy. thanks! i'm in.

Name: Ace D. Portgas
Your age and the range you'd like your partner to be: i'm 20, anything over 18 is okay, older preferred
Do you want to, or are you open to moonlacing: open to it, depending on how the date goes and what the person is like
How would you describe yourself? i'm tall, freckled, and have dark hair and tattoos.
What kind of things would ideally happen during your date? i'm just looking for a good time and some dancing. and food
What kind of things do you absolutely not want to happen during your date? not being able to visit with other people too. i'll focus on my date but i want to see my friends once in a while during the big event
What traits would you find attractive in a partner? strength, take charge personalities, well built, especially taller people.
What traits do you absolutely do not want your partner to have? cruel, cowardly

i think that about covers it.

You like 'em tall and powerful too, huh?

yeah! the taller the better, i wanna know how strong my partners are. looking powerful is a plus too, but it doesn't matter as long as they can deliver when it counts.

Say no more, you're speaking my language. I already have an idea of who I want to set you up with.

great! i'm looking forward to meeting them.
