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?

visuals!

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!

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

"Corrie!" Albus remembers now that their birthdays always fell close together at Hogwarts, which means... "You're a Sagittarius, right? Not asking because I believe in astrology at all, in case that's part of the dating criteria."

"Good, 'cause astrology is crap," she says promptly. "...but yeah, I am. 23 November, so... on the edge or whatever, I guess?"

"Perfect!" Albus crosses off the square on his card. "Any of those I can help you with? Whoever put my card together was an absolute monster." He turns his card to show Corrie the corner square that reads: THINKS CATCHING THE SNITCH SHOULD BE WORTH MORE POINTS.

"Only maniacs could think that," Corrie says, shaking her head. Who came up with these things? "Bad news, by the way: your cousin's a maniac."

Tapping her fingers as she skims the card, she knows it's here somewhere - there. "I'm marking you as lived in another country," she informs him. "Because duh. How many was it anyway? Can you even remember?"

Albus gasps. "Which cousin? Dominique? I swear, Seekers are sick and twisted people." Still, if he can get this corner square checked off, then he's that much closer to being done with this...

He makes a thoughtful hmm. "I had a little map in my journal where I coloured in countries, but then I lost the whole thing while going over the ocean. Long story. Lots, in any case. I didn't stay anywhere for longer than a month. What about you? What's the highlights in The Corrie Pye Story?"

Corrie's mouth twists. "Nah, I don't think I've even seen her. It was the new bloke, Hugo. He's... interesting? Did a fork trick, too." She doesn't sound annoyed but she's definitely a wee bit baffled.

"My story's pretty short, compared. Can't remember when you left exactly, were you around when I signed with the Falcons? Mum was pissed, did that two years, lived in a place of my gran's, traded to Wigtown. Ta-da," she finishes, making jazz hands.

Hugo Weasley, a natural ladies' man. Albus makes a mental note to talk to his cousin later about this "fork trick." Keep the girls guessing, and all that.

"Right, I remember the Falcons," Albus lies. In truth, he'd been a bit of a mess that summer, but it would make him a real jerk not to have noticed something as huge as Corrie signing with Falmouth and pissing off her mum. Albus tilts his head a little, considering this unembellished story (not Portree?), and opts for the neutral response. "Wigtown's a decent team, congrats. Even better now with you on the starting lineup, yeah?"

"Wigtown's fun, and so fam-friendly it's a nice change from Falmouth," she agrees. "Totally different style of play, but they're really welcoming so that's been nice." It's a fair assessment, even cheerful, but not a passionate one, and it comes out so smoothly she's doubtless given it before.

"So you're actually back back, then? Since you've moved in and all?"

Albus notes Corrie's casual tone, and accepts the change of subject. "Sure. It was about time, you know? Even Albus Potter has to get serious eventually." His mouth twists—a smile with a touch of irony—but he doesn't seem too upset about it. It was about time. "Also, this could be the start of a great story. 'I was invited to live in a mysterious building, and by the time we realized it was a demented Dark ritual, it was far too late to save my family from the chicken cult.'"
