[The second group has been told to find some place somewhat out of the way. It's at the other end of the city, and maybe a little harder to find than the others. The dining room is bigger than it looks from the outside, though, and it's actually rather nice. There's quiet music playing overhead. There seems to be a little of everything on the menu, but it all does seem a little fancy. It's expensive, but it's not like you're paying, right?

It might have been smart to dress nice- but not too nice- for your date. At least that's what Gold suggested!

There's a candle at every table. Beside each candle, there is a card. On each card, there is a different letter-number combination.

Find your table!

And feel free to leave at any time, with or without your date.]

TABLE B1: character whose name starts with S posts first.

[quickly]

Scout isn't dressed up, at least, he isn't wearing anything fancier than his normal attire: a red t-shirt, brown baseball pants, black baseball shoes, and of course, a black cap on his head.

He looks more annoyed than anything else, but inwardly, he's a little nervous. What if he's been assigned an ugly chick? What would he do, just leave? Pretend to be sick? He's normally the type full of insults ready to just spew out, but his stomach is in a bit of a knot and he doesn't feel like he will want to, or be able to insult a potentially ugly blind date.

He slowly peers at the tables, looking for his number. Finally, he spots the table he remembers reading about in the letter he received, and he immediately pulls out a chair and sits down. The other chair is empty.

Maybe she won't show up.

Zelda has made something of a habit of signing up for blind dates willingly, if only because they are always an excellent opportunity to meet new people. Sure, her dates in the past had been hit-and-miss, but she never left the restaurant feeling like she's wasted her time. It's always fun to meet someone she hasn't given thought to before, if only to see if they have anything in common. At the very least, she's found it an interesting way to make friends.

She enters the restaurant with card in hand, scanning the tables for the letter and number combination that matches her own. When she catches sight of the baseball cap, Zelda isn't quite sure what to think, but she certainly won't let that deter her--a princess is never rude, after all.

So she approaches and smiles warmly.

"Good evening. Table B1?"

TABLE B2: character whose name starts with C posts first.

Cress diverged from his brothers to walk to his table, sparkle, and sit down. The restaurant was elegant and decidedly low-key with a contemporary flair. Rather dark, though, but he supposed that was in keeping with setting the mood for an evening date.

He wasn't nervous about meeting his date. Why, he'd been on quite a few before. The only amount of anticipation that rose within him was the prospect of awaiting his company for the night, imagining all sorts of possibilities. It was fun to think about, keeping in mind of course that Smash Academy was host to the strangest variety of people he'd ever known... Whoever showed up to the vacant seat before him, he looked forward to an enjoyable evening with them.

[tidalwaves]

Maybe to make up for how not nervous Cress was, someone else with a decidedly very nervous energy walked into the restaurant. Marie wasn't entirely sure if having his teammates in the same restaurant was a good or a bad th-- wait, was Sasha sitting down with Jolt? Okay, yeah, definitely a bad thing.

After some hesitance, Marie timidly found his table. It wasn't a pretty lady, but he ended up being a little relieved about that, actually. Much less pressure...

He tried to pull his seat out as unobtrusively as possible, sat down, and shrugged at Cress as if that was some sort of decent greeting for Cress.

[obfuskate]

[ why is he here.

why is he here against his will.

why is he here against his will even though he tried to hound down the boy running this thing to stop him.

why is he here because of all of the above. WHY DIDN'T HE SUCCEED IN CONTACTING THIS BOY.

Shadow didn't know, but here he was anyway, sitting grumpily at the dinner table, however formally. it didn't reduce his manners, that's for sure, leaving him cross-legged with his hands neatly in his lap.

it better not have been anyone he despised... ]

[roses_are_blue]

[Good news.

Not only was it someone you didn't know, but not a buttmunch either.

Garry signed up WILLINGLY. He's been in a rut and thought hey, maybe he needed to go out. Garry was usually on the broke to slightly broke side. Enough to get by, in any case. But hey, nice restaurant. And the opportunity to wear nice clothes.

No worries, Shadow. He wasn't looking for a "date" date either, just wants a lovely time with a stranger who might be just as lovely a person.

Hey he can wish, the whole blind date thing was cute.

So here he is. Oh wow, he didn't bring his coat either. He came just as.

He noticed this guy was at the spot he was told to go to. Hm. Indeed, someone he didn't know. How exciting!]

Ah, hello. You must be here for the blind dates? This is my assigned table.

TABLE B4: character whose name starts with O posts first.

[lives_strong]

[Ondrea didn't even know that blind dates were a thing. If she had, she probably would have contacted Gold and told him to NOT put her down for this sort of thing. The very thought of not knowing who you were going on a "date" with seemed dumb to the Blaziken, what if they were weak? She didn't want to spend time with a man like that, let alone eat dinner with them.

But that didn't matter; she was stuck here in this stupid red dress her trainer requested she wear, waiting for her date to arrive. Whatever, he better get here soon...]

Re: TABLE B5: character whose name starts with W posts first.

[testgasm]

Things you probably shouldn't be asking:

1. Why is there a robot in this restaurant?

2. He has no legs, how did he get there?

3. Why is he sitting on this table?

4. He is a robot, how is he going to eat the food?

5. Who is he even talking to there is no one there?

6. Why won't he shut up??????

Shhh shhhh just go with it.

TABLE B6: character whose name starts with S posts first.

[goldhearted]

[throughthefireandflames]

[At first Sasha was admittedly nervous about the entire idea. She still was completely unsure where her love life was going, and could have sworn she hadn't signed herself up...probably the Hands again.

But you know what? This could be fun. A blind date didn't mean she was signed up on a contract with that someone else either.

Putting on her best dress, she arrived first and sat down at her assigned seating. There were no wings nor a tail tonight; she figured she was getting better at the skill now that she could keep it in check the entire night...

...but just in case, she did pick the chair away from the crowd that would allow a flaming tail to suddenly appear, if she got a little too emotional. Now it was just a question of waiting. For a Fire type, that was probably the hardest thing of all. The question of who it was was almost eating at her.]

TABLE B7: character whose name starts with E posts first.

[goldhearted]

[hissyfit]

Unlike most of the grumpy-types finding their seats at the restaurant that evening, Eli seemed to have a decent attitude about the event. If she hadn't signed herself up, though, she certainly wouldn't have bothered showing up; perhaps that had something to do with it.

The email from Gold had suggested she dress nice, so she wore a dress and braided her hair.

As soon as she found the place and let herself in, she noted the people in the restaurant she didn't like. Then she found her table-- still empty-- and took her seat.

TABLE B8: character whose name starts with C posts first.

[goldhearted]

[makesithot]

IT IS TIME FOR A HOT DATE WITH A PRETTY LADY! This couldn't possibly go wrong: it was either that he landed some pleasant company and a possible new girlfriend, or strike up an interesting conversation with someone who wasn't exactly his type. Who knew with blind dates?

Chili arrived at a reasonable time and... realized that he'd left his table card back in his dorm room. Oops. He tried to remember the number of his table as he walked past some of the tables that just didn't seem to be his. It was time to play the Recall Game: "B5, B6, B7...? No, B8's got to be my date!" he said to himself, pleased with the rhyme. Chili sat down in one of the chairs and kicked back - he didn't appear to be nervous about this at all. Now all he needed to do was wait.

TABLE B9: character whose name starts with H posts first.

[goldhearted]

[for_truth]

[At this rate, Hilda might have been one of the few people who a) signed up herself and/or b) had a very vague idea of what she was getting into. She wasn't really after a hot hot date or anything, but it'd be a good way to meet someone new, right?

She took a seat and drummed on the tabletop while she waited for some poor unsuspecting soul whoever had a matching note.]

TABLE B10: character whose name starts with I posts first.

[goldhearted]

[forgetbeam]

Ishimaru knew about the dates. How could he not, when there'd been signs posted in the school and gossip about it over the network? He disapproved, of course - he even took measures to stop such an unwholesome event from occurring, but when he brought the issue up with the Headmaster, he was shrugged off and told to let it be.

So this school was like that, huh...? Well, he just wouldn't support it and would keep himself uninvolved entirely!

Unfortunately, the thing about the (former) students of Hope's Peak is that they simply cannot resist when given a mysterious note with a time and place on it. He didn't even make the connection to the dates, seeing as he didn't even sign up. Whatever it was, he didn't want to let the other person down, and so he made sure to arrive at the restaurant a good fifteen minutes early.

His uniform kind of stood out amongst all the more casual outfits being sported at other tables.

TABLE B11: character whose name starts with G posts first.

[goldhearted]

[trustycrowbar]

[Gordon had blustered and raged when he realized he'd been entered into this thing without his knowledge, but he'd had enough time to realize that there was really nothing to protest. The worst that could come out of this, was maybe some bad seafood and stilted conversation. Besides, the venue could have been worse. They had good coffee, at least; the best the Seattlite has had in twenty years or so. Leaned back against his chair, wearing a hastily-garnered blazer and book in hand, he waits patiently for his... date.]
