SPEED DATING!!!!

[darnsitall]

[When the inhabitants of the haunted mansion awaken today, they'll find a card upon their person with a note: Please meet in the courtyard - Sally

Yes, this includes Ratigan, for some reason.

The outside is lit entirely by candlelight and there are roses everywhere. where did Sally find roses? it is a mystery It's surprisingly tasteful, although you might spot something that reminds you that this is a Sally affair.

There's plenty of food, too, if you can get over the, uh, odd presentation.

There are multiple tables set up, each with exactly two seats. At each table there's a card with a list of questions.

Sally is standing amidst all of this, a bell and a stopwatch in her hands, grinning from ear to ear.]

Well, as some of you may know, today is Valentine's Day! It's a day for celebrating love! Isn't that wonderful? I thought that with everything happening, we could all use a little fun, so we're going to play a little game! Everyone's going to pair up and pick a table, then ask each other questions to get to know each other better! When I ring this bell, though, you'll have to get up and move to another table with a different person! Doesn't that sound like fun?

Oh, and don't forget to help yourself to some food and drink!

[And with that... she rings the bell. GET DATIN'.]

[Well look who got an invitation to this?]

... I'm going to sit this one out, I think.

[sixfingeredstan]

....Yeah, I'm..I'm good.

[HE'S WITH YOU, PAL]

[darnsitall]

[YOU GUUUUUYS :C]

But I baked a cake.....

[keyofimagination]

[Uuuuugh.]

I will eat a slice of cake, but I'm not exactly interested in dating.

[theduck]

[He hates to admit it but he actually agrees with Rod on this one.]

Pass.

[darnsitall]

You won't even stay for a snack?

[theduck]

...Depends.

Can I eat the food without being part of the dating thing?

[tadaishi]

[Sally, you should know how games like this go.]

I'm not sure speed dating is the best way to go about this...

[darnsitall]

You don't have to take it super seriously if you don't want to...?

[tadaishi]

I'll give it a try, since you put all this work into it.

[A tiny part of him missed the random objects with eyes. A tiny part.]

[stenchus_rodentus]

[Can he go back to Preston Hell now.]

Saint Valentine was the patron saint of plague and fainting as much as love.

Perhaps we should honor him by spreading disease and inducing unconsciousness?

[darnsitall]

I'll put you in a bottle again.

[stenchus_rodentus]

You wouldn't.

[lusito]

[... Wow I can't believe we woke up from our "try to contact Mickey coma" for this.

Though maybe he should at least eat something before attempting to turn right back around to go back to sleep.]

[tadaishi]

[How's that going, by the way?]

You're up just in time to pick a date.

[Sorry Sally, he's trying.]

[lusito]

[So far, he's tried tagging one or two walls and such in his dreams with a Mickey symbol like what he did with CAT's designs in Traverse Town, but still no sign of anything happening yet...]

Oh? ... Are you offering to be my date for this?

[yourghosthost]

[Ghostave is just going to take a slice a cake and deliberately not take part in the festivities, instead just enjoying himself watching everyone else attempt speed-dating.]

[tadaishi]

[How do you even eat, you're a ghost?]

[yourghosthost]

[Would you believe the answer "The spirit of imagination"?]

[hallotween]

All the couples ended up mostly dead. [cheerfully eating cake bc now she can put her new Fuck Love ideals into practice.]

[amadeusrockette]

They're doing better this time, though.

[come on you have to give them that, marnie.]

[hallotween]

I guess. That's not us, though! Everyone here is just gonna be sad because all their boyfriends are dead, and that's not a really fun party.

[forgottenfounder]

[Raises a hand.]

I'm... married?

[keyofimagination]

It appears that sort of stuff doesn't stop Sally's strange, if well meaning, heart.

[Hey your dad is here at least.]

[kindaruledatit]

[You know what, screw it. She's just a few steps shy of a total breakdown. Let's do this!

she picks a random table, turns the chair around, and flags down whoever's coming this way.]

Hey. Nice weather we're having, huh?
