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.

They will kill you, you realize. [ he's not complaining. this is perfect. ethan's just gone on to become his favorite bro. ]

[ ... interesting. marissa hasn't been here long enough to get bored, but she does know it's only a matter of time. she'll never turn down a party. ]

Should you require assistance in planning for the party, I offer my services. I throw excellent parties myself.

[ s-sweet summer child, thy name is connor. he's just thrilled to see ethan offering to throw a party and make the food for it. he can't really remember the last time his brother did anything like it. it was probably new years, and they all remember how that ... went. but this is not about the past! it's about looking forward.

as much as one can look forward while they're on a ship that leads nowhere.

I'll help. Can I ask what brought this on?

[ he knows you too well, son. ]

[ one would think natalia would give adam a heads up. one would think she would spare him the surprise and appeal to her more compassionate nature. one would think. ]

... Oh, this I gotta see.

[Soooooooo squinting at this.]

They are going to kill you.

[Hi, Ethan. Sup. Been a while.]

[ YOU ARE THE WORST. ]

I'm not saying they'll find out through me. But what if one of those ladies mentions your journal entry?

[ u in danger, boy. ]

Fancy ones, mostly. Balls, charity events, and the like. [ never speed-dating, but she is intrigued. ]

But I can tailor my planning to the tastes of others. [ while judging. judging quietly. ] What sort of menu did you have in mind?

[ look, he is all for not discussing new years, but he does have your number, ethan. he's the big bro. sort of. you might be older now - which is weird, btw - but connor at his heart is ethan's older sibling.

he worries.
]

Yeah, it might be. There's nothing wrong with finding ways to entertain each other. I was just wondering if something sparked the interest. You hadn't planned it before.

[ the first time he was ... here. .-. ]

I've met one of your brothers. Adam? For some reason, he doesn't strike me the speed-dating type.

[ so she's curious, okay!!! ]

Speed-dating, huh? [ this is such an ethan-like thing to do, she can't help that it makes her smile. (she's missed his cooking.) ]

[ SO AM I. ]

I will tell them how committed and noble your efforts were in enhancing their love lives.

[ or he could just popcorn.gif his way through this. there's that, too. ]

[ we'll see about that, ethan. ;)

marissa would say she isn't sure how something is your thing and then it isn't, except that wouldn't be true. a lot of things she used to be into are things she no longer is. becoming a vampire changed a lot about her, while not changing anything at all in other ways. she's still feeling all of those differences out.

If you're going for casual, you'll be better off with Italian. [ at least, the french food she has had doesn't really bring 'casual' to mind. plus, even marissa is a fan of pizza ok... ]

[ connor doesn't know that it's been six months. he doesn't even know where it is that ethan's been. it would break his heart if he did. for now, he senses something but he knows he won't get far with ethan just yet. at the very least, not through the journals. ]

It's just meeting people, right? [ ethan said connections of any kind, or he might side eye it a little bit more. ] I'm sure there isn't any harm in that. Most of the people I have met on the ship seem alright.

[ not that he's met too many. too busy trying to figure this red door out... ]

That's clever and underhanded.

[ by which she means, she's impressed. whiskey and cigarettes would summon adam. especially on the ship, where there aren't any kids around that might make him try to do less of it. ]

Oh, I know it. We have a swear jar back where I'm from. Adam's the greatest offender.

[ except he doesn't always have money to put in the swear jar, so it's mostly made up of a lot of tiny, folded notes that say IOUs. it's cute ok. ]
