MEAT CUTES SINGLES NIGHT

what's up?

Love is (possibly) in the air at Meat Sweats: All You Can Meat Steakhouse (Good First Date Spot!), which is trying to live up to its name by cramming as many first dates into one night as it possibly can. Cocktails are arguably Valentine's Day themed, and someone went to the trouble of charming paper hearts into fluttering around like drunken butterflies.

The small dining room is packed, and the tables have been arranged so that there are plenty of spots where couples can sit across from one another. Over the speakers, an "oldies" playlist of early 2000s Muggle ?love songs? is on shuffle.

Participants who get Bingo get a special prize! Anyone who gets a blackout is a madman, but there's something special in it for you if you do. And of course, signing the attendance sheet gets you half-off on rent at Henhurst Hall.

Tonight's menu is:

• A pink sweetheart cocktail that tastes a little bit too much like pepto bismol, garnished with a strawberry and twisty straw.
  
• Tater tots shaped like hearts.
  
• Your choice of pizza (pepperoni shaped like hearts), salmon (it's pink!) or curried cauliflower with red food colouring (the veggie option).
  
• Chocolate cake dessert.

The dinner begins at 7:00 PM and Olive kicks everyone out at 12:00 AM, but like, who wants to stay at Meat Sweats for five hours?

volunteer slots!

Hugo Weasley ends up stuck talking to an older wizard who is clearly very drunk and keeps asking extremely strange questions. On the bright side, they do manage to fill out one elusive spot on their bingo card! (By taking this spot, you can mark any one of your bingo spots as filled for free!)

Grizzy barrels into [CHARACTER C] while they're both dashing to get to the next table, and they go tumbling to the ground. Now that's a Meet Cute!

[CHARACTER D] feels like they've been plunged into ice water when Morty passes through them on his way to another table. The sensation is brief, but then they feel something cold and wet stuck to their back. It's partially digested pizza encased in ectoplasm.

how bingo works!

🍗 Remember, this IC/OOC is forward-dated meaning that it takes place on Sunday, February 14th. Please wait until Sunday to make journal posts that take place during the event.

🍗 Speed dating rounds last anywhere from thirty seconds to five minutes before Bud blows his whistle and participants are expected to get up and run to a different table, musical chairs style. There's not much organization to this event and there's nothing stopping residents from cheesing the game by running to people they already know.

🍗 Organizers insist that the seating arrangements were randomized, which is why sometimes participants are seated across from a relative or otherwise-inappropriate potential mate. They insist that, legally-speaking, this is a networking event — so don't worry, mark off those cards, and keep going!

🍗 Click here for the Bingo Card template.

On desktop: click File > Make a Copy.
On mobile: press "..." > Share & export > Make a copy.

  Follow the directions in the spreadsheet to learn how to set up your card!

🍗When you're all set up, you can either paste the code in its own entry on your journal (fancy!) or grab a sharable link to your spreadsheet (convenient!). Either way, come on down to SPEED DATING BINGO and make a new comment with your character's name in the subject and your link in the body.

🍗 Reply to others and fill your card! Have fun!

🍗 The cutoff for submitting completed Bingo Cards for prizes is February 15, 12:00PM EST. You can keep playing in your threads for as long as you want, but you just won't get the Mystery Prize if you haven't submitted by the cutoff.

locations!

💘 BEFORE THE MEAT CUTE: Are you ready to find love and avoid gastrointestinal issues?

💘 SPEED DATING BINGO: Date! Meet! Win! Post your cards here with your character's name in the subject. Others can reply to your thread to start quick scenes as they fill out their cards in search of a BINGO — and maybe... true love?

💘 AROUND MEAT SWEATS: Same time, same place as Speed Dating Bingo but this section is for those MEATier scenes. (Any non-speed-dating scene)!

💘 AFTER PARTY: After you've either won or given up on Bingo, there's a plan to meet up at Poor Lenore's for drinks. A local band is playing tonight, and it's a more pleasant setup for dancing and flirting if that's your jam. You might miss the subtle aroma of a New York striploin, though.

🥩 OOC – QUESTIONS, COMMENTS, CONCERNS! Don't forget to submit your card under the subheader when you're got a bingo and/or blackout!

[wiztrict]

[ringhollow]

Marion's ready to ask invasive questions and to win.

Re: SPEED DATING BINGO

[louisweasley]

Louis has his bingo card and a red face.

SPEED DATING BINGO: Scorpius Malfoy

[terebinthine]

Scorpius has his card ready, and is already regretting this.

SPEED DATING BINGO: Chase Jordan

[chasingrivers]

Chase is in their uniform but it's not clear if they're working right now. They do have a card and absolutely expect tips, though.

SPEED DATING BINGO: Corrie Pye

[corriespondence]

Corrie has her game face on, which is not her most welcoming face.

SPEED DATING BINGO: Griselda Goyle

[hotgoss]

Griz is here, she has her card, and she is ready to "meat" her soul mate!

SPEED DATING BINGO: Criswell Trelawney

[cristrelawney]

Criswell just moved in today. He doesn't know (most of) these people. Coming here may've been a mistake. ...But who doesn't want a rent deduction? He's got a bingo card and a bottle of water from home, so let's do this.

SPEED DATING BINGO: Peri Patil-Brown

[celebritea]

Peri mostly wanted the rent discount, but she has a bingo card and she's on the prowl.

SPEED DATING BINGO: Siân Fletcher

[highlygrifted]

Siân is rocking a bum bag full of neon bingo daubers. Clearly, she is not new to bingo. She is motivated by what she can only assume is a cash prize.

SPEED DATING BINGO: Briar Longbottom

[onthescene]

Scene on: Briar, awkwardly holding his bingo card, wondering if his twin sister who works here can be counted as someone "born in the same month as him".

SPEED DATING BINGO: Victoire D-W

[hotandfrench]

Despite her emphatic claims to the contrary, Victoire is actually feeling a little bit, well, lonely up in her single room. So, here she is — ready to network/make eyes at any suitable new soulmates.

SPEED DATING BINGO: Hugo Weasley

[hugogogadget]

Hugo's looking forward to meeting all his new flatmates. Don't go bacon his heart. (Bingo card)

SPEED DATING BINGO: Aster!

[asterroid]

Ok look, listen, she's definitely here to work, but also this salmon is fresh enough to walk off on its own fins and serve itself (eat at Meat Sweats!) so Aster has a card.

SPEED DATING BINGO: Lily Luna

[flowermoon]

Lily Luna had a lot on her mind, her eyes open for anyone who seemed to be looking at her. She was determined to get to the bottom of who wrote her that note, but also the call of the mystery surprise lured her. She gripped her Bingo card in hand and stared out into the faces of mostly people she knew. She spotted people writing on their cards and thought that if she saw enough people... well, perhaps she could find her anonymous note writer by their handwriting!

SPEED DATING BINGO: Ebenezer Smith

[scrooged]

Ebenezer doesn't much want to date many of the people who would fit on his card, but at least the music kinda slaps.

SPEED DATING BINGO: Albus Potter

[unauthentic]

Bingo card in hand, Albus scans the room, wondering if it's more than half or less than half of the people here who are his cousins.

SPEED DATING BINGO: Teddy Lupin

[20thcenturytoy]

Teddy's already spilled beer on this.

SPEED DATING BINGO: Lucy Weasley

[sherbetlemon]

Lucy has a bingo card, a bag of sweets and is here to make friends and not be totally awkward.

SPEED DATING BINGO: Tracy Nettlebed II

[nettlebed]

Bingo doesn't seem very fun to Tracey, but asking a bunch of people a bunch of questions does. So she's here, wearing heart-shaped sunglasses despite the fact that it's night (and indoors) as she makes very slow work of her cocktail.

AROUND MEAT SWEATS

[wiztrict]

AROUND MEAT SWEATS: Maya's Meatstical Meataphysical Card Readings

[horsie]

Maya's not here for a Meat Cute, but she is here to meddle and she has a little table to herself set up for card readings. The chair and table are both draped in fine cloth so she doesn't have to touch anything sticky.

She's here to answer all those burning questions about love, life, personal problems, deep insecurities, dark secrets... Using her Seer abilities, of course!

<b>CHARACTER NAME:</b> <b>WHAT IS THEIR QUESTION?:</b> <b>HOW SKEPTICAL DO THEY SEEM?:</b> <b>ANYTHING ELSE?</b>

AFTER PARTY

[wiztrict]

AFTER PARTY: Rose & Open ++

[changeyourmind]

Rose, several bars into her evening and already drunk, stumbles into Poor Lenore's midway through the after party. She can't say she's been having bad romantic luck on her first Valentine's Day as a single person in forever, but she has been having no romantic luck, and that's enough to drive her into a light depression. Stripping off her obnoxious coat and tossing it on a nearby barstool, she leans up against the counter next to the first person she recognizes, whether or not she's related to them.

"Buy me a drink," she demands.
