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?

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.

🍗 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!

SPEED DATING BINGO: Teddy Lupin

[20thcenturytoy]

Teddy's already spilled beer on this.

SPEED DATING BINGO: Teddy Lupin & Lorcan

[fursuiter]

Similar to the treatment he gave Marion, Lorcan has his bingo marker already hovering over HAS KISSED MORE THAN 5 PEOPLE when he asks: "Have you kissed more than five people?"

SPEED DATING BINGO: Teddy Lupin & Lorcan

[20thcenturytoy]

Teddy responds in a sort of deadpan, except it unfurls by the end with a tiny, self-aware little grin. "Me? But I'm so shy."

The grin widens. "Mark it. And for you..." He gazes at Lorcan, now playfully solemn in his study of such an important interview subject. "Would you say you've got your dream job?"

SPEED DATING BINGO: Teddy Lupin & Lorcan

[fursuiter]

It's already marked before Teddy can tell him to do so.

"You mean did I peak at nineteen?" he asks with a lopsided grin, leaning back in his chair. "Maybe so." Lorcan waves a hand dismissively. "On indefinite hiatus. Mark me down anyway."

He plays with his bingo dauber, tossing it from hand to hand. "So are you and Vic open, or off, or is this for the discount on rent?"

SPEED DATING BINGO: Teddy Lupin & Lorcan

[20thcenturytoy]

Teddy scratches the very tiniest x on the square. That way, if the universe is trying to decide if Lorcan really has peaked and this is all very ironic, it can see that he's not very invested in the idea, personally.

He's in the midst of a sip of ale when the next question comes. It makes him laugh.

"Off," is a quite decided statement, despite surrounding mirth. "But the discount's rather good, honestly."

SPEED DATING BINGO: Teddy Lupin & Lorcan

[fursuiter]

"Off," he repeats thoughtfully, mulling over what this means for him. (Not much, but it's fun to think about.)

"Why do you think the discount's so generous? There has to be something in it for them."

Re: SPEED DATING BINGO: Teddy Lupin and Corrie

[corriespondence]

Corrie doesn't know know Teddy Lupin, but you couldn't help kinda know him by sight -- that is, as much as you could, given the metamorphmagus thing.

"Sooooo," she says. "If you're changing your hair, like you change your hair, obviously," making a vague twirly motion with all her fingers, "does that count as cutting it yourself? Kinda?"

SPEED DATING BINGO: Teddy Lupin and Corrie

[20thcenturytoy]

"Should've written the rules better, if they didn't want loopholes," says Teddy. His hair lengthens a few inches and back again, for emphasis.

"Keeping in the spirit," he goes on, with a slug of ale, "what's your only sort of favorite hobby?"

Re: SPEED DATING BINGO: Teddy Lupin and Corrie

[corriespondence]

Corrie's been feeling like maybe she doesn't have enough hobbies ever since she brought up hobbies to an actual adult. "I've been to like ten of those places where they lock you in the room and you find your way out," she says. "Does that count?"

SPEED DATING BINGO: Teddy Lupin and Corrie

[20thcenturytoy]

Teddy nods. "Adore leaving rooms, myself."

(He's got no idea what Corrie's talking about, but doesn't realize this, so it's almost as if, in fact, he does.)

"It's the simple things," he goes on, drily. "This establishment certainly aspires to that."

Re: SPEED DATING BINGO: Teddy Lupin and Corrie

[corriespondence]

"It definitely aspires to something," Corrie says, trying to shoo a flock of paper hearts. They reform in a circle around her head.

She skims her card for likely subjects. "How... do you feel about commitment?" Still being single as old as he was, that was bound to be a win, right?

Re: SPEED DATING BINGO: Teddy Lupin

[hotgoss]

For a moment, Griz seems dumbstruck when she sits down. He's too cool. She can't talk to him about whether he wears his shoes indoors. "Player instrument? Shit. I mean... I bed you play an instrument."
