Speed Dating Event

So I am incredibly bored. [By bored, he means if he doesn't have something to occupy his mind at all times, he might actually lose his mind in things he doesn't want to and can't think about at all so bored. bored's an accurate enough sum up, right?] Clearly, the answer to this is to throw a little event for those who might want to participate. It is obviously not mandatory, and it will mostly be a party. I haven't thrown a party in a very long time, but I don't think I have lost the ability to do so. [or maybe this is a test of that, he doesn't really know.]

There will be delicious food made by yours truly! [hopefully still delicious, he hasn't made food for a lot of people in a very long time, but he returned to the kitchen before he disappeared, dragged through the door again]

There will be music, dancing, mingling, and talking!

And for those who'd like to, there will be speed dating. You sit at a table for five minutes, meet someone new, discuss things, get to know one another. Romance is not required. Make a friend, make a connection. Take the pressure off. Wear your fancy name tag with your preferences on it whether that's very specific preferences or none at all!

There will even be a table to share advice at whether it be romantic or otherwise if you want to give advice or if you need advice on wooing or what to use to get a particular stain out of your shirt or what have you. ;) It will be this weekend so if you're on the ship and want to stop by, feel free!

If you have any questions or any concerns, feel free to ask me them! I'm here all night while I plan out a menu. Also, I might make food while planning out a menu so there will be extra food in the main kitchen if anyone wants to eat anything.

[Locked Against his Older Brothers]

I know three very eligible bachelors, who just so happen to be my brothers. I absolutely want to sell up their qualities like nobody's business. They all have dark hair and are very tall. Many have considered them attractive. They were raised by a very wonderful woman who taught them proper manners and how to respect women.

There is one gentleman in his early thirties who is rough around the edges but a softy at heart. He enjoys a glass of whiskey, can curse like a sailor, but once you get past that rough exterior, you've got a person who is very protective and amazing in my opinion. Irish accent. His name is Adam.

There is another gentleman who is in his late twenties. He is very logical, smart, wise, and responsible while also being very caring. In fact, he practically helped our mother raise all of us growing up which means he had to put up with all of my shenanigans, which I have to tell you were pretty wild and occasionally dangerous. However, he always did so with utter patience. British accent. His name is Logan.

Finally, you have the gentleman and brother I am closest to. He is polite, charming, very easy to talk to and very caring and perceptive of and giving to those that he cares about. He is the most loyal person that I know, and he's also a lot of fun to be around. British accent. His name is Connor.

I highly recommend the three of them. ;) Individually naturally as they are not a package... deal.

[ she remembers the upperclassmen at st. gabriel's holding auctions on the eligible bachelors of the upper grades to raise money for various dances and fundraisers, but this is... certainly a new way to go about it. ]

Somehow, I don't see these brothers of yours being entirely appreciative of your efforts.

[ her handwriting is extremely neat, the letters loopy with a sophisticated sort of cursive, all the while being carefully penned as if making sure all the letters could be easily distinguished. ]

They probably wouldn't be if they knew but I'm hoping they don't find out.

I'm trying to encourage friendship of any kind really beyond just the romantic variety, and they're all my older brothers who have taken care of me and looked after me for a long time.

[ethan is older than connor now, but he was his older brother for a very long time. logan and adam especially took care of all of them growing up even if adam left when he was eighteen, he'd take care of them before, and he wants to make sure they all have a really good time here.

his handwriting is very neat too.]

And you're just trying to repay that favor?

[ she would do the same for her own brother, if her relationship with milliardo was anywhere near healthy or sibling-like at all. he was off doing god knows what on mars on behalf of the preventers (and herself, but relena wasn't sure how to feel about her wayward elder brother representing her after the mess he made with the white fang), and she'd barely had time to bond with him aboard libra — if trying to dissuade him from battle could be considered bonding. ]

In a way, yeah. There are no guarantees, and I want to make sure they have friends here if I can. I want to give them the chance to make the connections they might not otherwise. Make sure they have a good time.

[ethan doesn't know if all of his brothers even want to meet someone romantically which is why he's emphasizing friendship and casual fun more than anything, but he does--

he wants to help them to relax, be free from responsibility for the night, and focus on themselves for a change.]

That's— [ that frown quickly morphs into a lopsided grin that almost looks out of place on such a prim and proper young woman. ] That's actually quite noble of you.

[There is a tiny smile at that because it's not really how he views himself, but--] You think so? I want them to be happy. I wasn't really made to create happiness but I want that for them and the people I care about. [It's why he has always taken to cooking and throwing parties.] What about you? You have any siblings?

[ she nods, humming in concert with her confirmation. ]

I do. An older brother, but we didn't grow up together. I actually didn't even know I had a brother up until fairly recently.
