"What is speed dating?" you ask whislt crying into your Alone Forever brand personal ice cream tub? Why, the answer couldn't be simpler!

 

Speed dating is a way for seeking singles to meet a large number of others who are, like themselves, looking for companionship in a short period of time. 

 

"But how does it work?" you sob into your single pillow on your single-sized bed? Why, with event organizers such as the experts¹ at the Rum 'n Rumble!

 

Each participant is paired with another for a fifteen minute interview with the other, during which time you can chat, learn a bit about the other, or simply gaze into the person's eyes and make terrified honking sounds². The Rum 'n Rumble suggests coming prepared with deep and thought-provoking questions ahead of time such as:

 

- "What is your name?"

 

- "Are you a boy or are you a girl or are you one of those Roegadyn ladies from Ul'dah that we all hear about³?"

 

- "Were you allowed to change one thing about yourself right now, what would it be and why?"

 

- "If pressed, do you believe you could subdue a coeurl with only your bare hands and a toothpick?"

 

- "What is the first thing you notice about a person when you see them?"

 

- "What do you think is the most important value in a relationship?"

 

- "Who was your hero, as a child?"

 

- "Are you capable of bearing children, and if so how many children can you bear before you fall under the weight of them all?"

 

- "Which is the one job in the world that you would love to do?"

 

- "Would you perhaps like to go to a ball with me later in the month?"

 

At the end of each date, the card you will have been given with the person's name can be marked as a yes or a no. Should you wish to talk to the other person again, choose yes! Should you wish the man or woman you'd just spoken with be devoured by a voidsent, choose no.

 

We hope to see romance or at least lots of drinking on Tuesday the 16th at 7:30pm Central at Rum 'n Rumble, Mist Ward 5, plot 20.

 

While the Rum 'n Rumble believes in creating somewhat entertaining advertising, this is actually intended as a serious event, and we hope you turn up.

I knew you'd find a way to exclude Panicking Swan after what happened last time.

I dunno, I'd figure saying not to do that will inspire people's inner nine-year-old and make a bunch of them start doing it. Imagine it: tables of couples spamming /angry and /huh emotes at each other relentlessly.

 

It'd be magical.

 The Rum 'n Rumble once again denies any knowledge of underground Swan Racing tournaments and repeats that those feathers got there because of a pillow fight that got out of hand.

Dogberry would be delighted to meet this Panicking Swan person.

Ladies and gentlemen, the event is going on TONIGHT and the Rum 'n Rumble Experts₁ are doing their best to ensure everyone has at least two speed dates which math their parameters exactly with a third only a teensy bit outside of them. In recompense, each person gets a free drink with each date, ensuring that your standards have slipped a little in order to give love₂ the most fertile soil in which to flower₃!

 

We're still accepting applications, so feel free to sign up!

 

 

 

¹_{You remember from the first post. Not actually experts.}

 

²_{Or something like it from the waist down.}

 

³_{At least until the next morning.}

Had to leave early, but had a lot of fun while I was there! Thanks for hosting, guys!

[Mercurias]

Huge, huge thanks to all who participated in the Speed-Dating event last night. It was a bit of a slow start, but by the end we had around twenty people coming and going in between rounds.

 

Special appreciation to helpers and volunteers Armi Alliando, Fungus Funfungus, Lady A-...Captain Iceberg (Seawolf names are hard), Stanzie Ryhees, and Tawinous Ironbane for showing up to lend a hand even being rotated into the mix. You guys are awesome.

 

Again, thanks to all who attended, and please keep the Rum 'n Rumble in mind as a spot to swing by when near Limsa Lominsa. Mist Ward 5 Plot 20, right off the beach. It's the only yellow cottage in the Ward.
