You know what this mansion needs after all these dour "events"? Something fun. Unfortunately, there is no room for an amusement park and apparently the Mansion does not keep up with video game release dates, so we will have to do something a little more low-key.

So, before the next time we all lose our minds and decide to start killing each other, who would like to participate in an evening of speed dating? Yes, before you ask, you can just come looking for friends. I promise not to try and marry anyone off. Probably.

Sure, I can get behind this.

Excellent. That brings us up to two.

I hope you sign up some fun people.

That is the most terrifying concept I've ever heard of. Dating is stressful enough when you take it slowly!

Can anyone sign up, looking for friends?

Speed dating? How exactly does that work? Because it sounds like it almost has to end in marriage.

This may sound ridiculous, but could you explain how speed dating works?

Everyone gets a random partner. You've got five minutes to introduce yourself and get to know each other. As soon as those five minutes are over, everyone switches partners. At the end of it, you give who you'd like to talk with again to the organizer. If both you and the other person want to meet again, the organizer matches you up.

It is fairly simple. You get matched up with a partner for five minutes. You have those five minutes to get to know each other. At the end of five minutes, everyone switches partners.

When the event ends, you tell the organizer who you'd like to see again. If they want to see you, too, the organizer will get you in contact with each other.

Of course. There are no restrictions here.

It is not like real dating. It is more getting to know someone well enough to know whether you are interested or if you would like to run away very quickly.

[hashtagging]

No promises, but even if I fail, you only have to deal with them for five minutes.

I'm not sure if that sounds fun or terrifying.

[hashtagging]

It is fun, promise. It's a great way to meet new people.

As long as it's not like the strange blind date I ended up on once here....it sounds like it would be a good use of a few hours.

[goodwoofjames]

Interesting. You think we'll have enough takers for all that?

[naughty_nurse]

Thank you! That's so generous of you!

In my experience those two things are not mutually exclusive.

[hashtagging]

You may have a point there.

You're... kidding, right?

[hashtagging]

Not in the least!

[ Cheerfully. ]

[hashtagging]

I can make no promises. Some of the people here are quite strange.

What's the catch?

[itwouldbeatragedy]

I'm not sure I'm in any position to judge what is or isn't strange.

I may set you up with someone because I think the results would be hilarious. But, you are quite lucky in that case -- I have no idea who you are, which limits my humorous possibilities.
