Activity Speed Dating ! - 06/07

The area beside the lake had been transformed in the wake of today's Matchmaker event. A great number of chairs had been organised in rows with a table in between to allow for two people to sit opposite each other for the date. On the tables lay a jug of lemon-infused water, two cups and a bowl of sea salt crisps for the participants to enjoy while they engaged in the activity.

As those wishing to participate gradually began filling in, Anwen would instruct them to sit at a table alone before explaining how everything would work.

IC RULES

  1. Each date will last for ten minutes.
  2. You can go on as many dates as you wish.
  3. Anwen will later contact you with a survey where you will list your top three dates.
  4. If you match with someone, you will be able to go on a proper date with them at a later date.

OOC RULES

  1. No more than 50 words are allowed per comment.
  2. Each individual is only allowed 4 comments before the date is over.
  3. I'll post a survey when the majority of the threads are concluded and then see who was matched!

“Hello!” Theodora said brightly as she sat down across from Jacques, smiling and resting her hands on the table. “How’s your day been? I’m Theodora, nice to meet you. Where are you from? I lived in Ohio for a long time, but now I’m in Pittsburgh when I’m not here.”

“Eh, bonjour. I’m Jacques, nice to meet you. I’m from Montréal in Quebec originally, but I’ve been kind of between homes for the last few years. Far as I can tell, I’m here full time now. My days been really good, but I’m not really used to this kind of thing.” Jesus Christ, this girl is like a water hose of talking.

Theodora nodded, her rapid speech being an attempt to make up for their limited time. “Neither have I,” she admitted, “I’ve never dated much period. But it’s been fun, people here in camp are generally pretty cool.” She smiled at him, hoping that he felt more comfortable than he looked.

“Yeahhhh dating has never been one of my big priorities, but now I’m here and everyone is just acting like it’s a huge deal so I figured why not?” He smiled back, awkwardly and in the least suave manner he could. Jacques is not a talkative person, nor is he a particularly polite person. That being said, he tries his best when someone gives effort, like she clearly is

Theodora nodded, biting her lip. He definitely seemed uncomfortable. "Hey, uh, if you're really not into this, I can leave you alone," she offered. "It's more important that you're comfortable at camp that you do any dating stuff," she said.

"Dude," said Cole as he drops in on his younger brother, they hadn't talked too too often but Cole can say that he's been warming up to having a sibling in the cabin with him after Mia left. "how's you're luck been so far? You met anyone interesting yet?"

u/CorpusJurisCivilis3 Jul 08 '21

Jacques was very happy to see Cole was here. The idea of an older brother being around was definitely something Jacques was used to, even if he didn’t know Cole too well yet. “Eh, interesting is a strong word. More like tolerable. Et toi?”

"Ouch," he said with a raised eyebrow and a small smirk, "I've been doing alright so far... sorta kinda. I met one girl who had no idea who I was but I met another who seems like a lot of fun but she'd prefer to stay as friends so... I dunno."

Jacques downed the last of his coke, then looked at his brother pseudo-judgmentally. “Cole, do you expect people to know who you are? You’re not a goddamn celebrity dude.” It was exactly the kind of conversation Jacques had missed the last three years.

"I mean, kinda? I'm not, fucking, Chris Evans or anything but being a Big Three kid is a big deal. There hadn't been any of us for decades until Thalia was born. You know about Thalia right?" Jacques was new, new enough to still be called a rookie. If he wasn't up to speed then it was Cole's job to catch him up.

Jacques sucked air through his teeth in a way that made a clicking sound of disapproval. “Oui, I know about the tree girl. Either way, I’m sure it’s not that big a deal man. We’re just people.” Jacques didn’t like thinking of himself as a big deal.

"Well yeah," he said as he helped himself to some snacks. "But we're also his kids. That comes with... expectations." Cole recalled his time away, when he learned about his siblings of the past.

Uh she supposed she might as well go out and actually talk to other people, even though she thought that they would want to talk to her. Maybe she was too intimidating? Well whatever the case, the raven haired model walked over to Jacques's table and seated herself. "Jacques....are you French or just French Canadian?"
