"O-oh! Hello...um..." Caterina squinted at his card. "Hello Allan."

She placed her card down on the table and took a deep breath. Her one hand continued to fuss with the roses in her hair and her long braid.

"S-sorry, this is the first time I've ever done something like this. I'm a little nervous..." she explained.

He smiled, "it's a pleasure Caterina," he gave a small bow, he knew various greetings for various situations, he chose a bow for here.

"It's quite all right," he said and grinned, "it's been a while sense I dated at all," it was difficult to keep a steady relationship while traveling doing black ops missions.

"Lets start slow, what do you like to do? I've only recently arrived, so I'm exploring and learning what I can, I especially loved the museum," she was an attractive woman, he wanted her to be comfortable.

Cardamon stood off to the side, wearing a nice button up shirt with a vest over it and pants rather than his normal hoodie and slacks. It was the least he could do to at least try and be respectful of the person whose time he would inevitably waste. After all, no amount of smart dressing would make his weird glass constitution make sense.

He really should have known better. He very rarely went on things like this, he was such homebody that he never ever did anything that that would put him out of his little comfort zone. Was that so wrong? Well, as an Emotionlord, he knew that unwillingness to do anything even a little bit was a little stunting to broadening his horizons as a person. After all, he'd been alive for hundreds of years, and he'd only been on a boat once.

Well, twice now, he supposed.

He debated whether or not he should be sitting or going to sit across from someone. He was a wallflower, and he'd much preferred to sit off the to the side and hope no one noticed him. Perhaps put an angry, unflattering look on his face to encourage people to not bother him.

But he took a deep breath and sort of walked towards a lovely woman sitting alone. His whole form, normally clear, took on a pint tint.

"Hello... d'you mind if I sit here?" She looked so lovely that he almost thought he felt his stomach fluttering.

Which was impressive, considering he didn't have one of those.

Angelo was rather happy that he was fast, because if not, he probably would have gotten a rather unwanted kiss.

"Some of them might be," Angelo pointed out. He wasn't looking to settle down with anyone right then, but he was looking for a serious relationship, and was a quick way to meet a lot of people in a hurry. That was his hope, not anything else.

"I'm a cop, my hair is naturally like this, I have two pet hedgehogs, I reap the souls of the dead, annnnnd..." Angelo paused for a moment, trying to figure out what his fifth thing would be. He'd already covered most of the standard questions--is your hair natural, what do you do for a living, do you have any pets, and what do you do--but he found himself momentarily at a loss for the last one.

"I love Italian food," he finished. "In addition to being out of time."

"Start slow? But this is speed dating…” Caterina said with a little giggle. Nonetheless, she did appreciate that Allan was trying to help her feel more comfortable. And she laughed a little, so it seemed to be working.

Caterina nodded as Allan spoke, then soon beamed at the mention of the museum.

“I work in the museum! Of course, I am usually either in my office or the least popular area of the museum so…it is unlikely you would have seen me.”

She laughed a little.

“I love working at the museum. I love history and learning new things. Umm…” What else should she say? Ahh, this speed dating thing was kind of intense—trying to figure out what to say in such a short amount of time!

It seemed his attempt to calm her was working, "you have a lovely laugh."

He grinned, "that's something we have in common, when I'm in a new place I have to learn everything about it I can," originally for mission info but now for curiosity.

"It must be wonderful working there," it was looking like he'd have a new reason to spend time there. He smiled, "it would be wonderful to get a tour of it from such a charming woman," he liked this woman."

"But it seems were almost out of time," he put on a calm smile, "would you like to spend some together? Perhaps see the rest of the ship?"

"Me? Charming?” Caterina blushed, a blue tint rising in her cheeks.

One could only learn so much about a person from speed dating, but from their brief interaction she thought Allan seemed like a nice enough person.

“I would like to try and stay here a little longer, but…”

She pulled out a notepad and a pen she always kept on her, ripped out a sheet and quickly jotted down her cell number. She passed it to Allan.

“We could meet up again and talk more later, if you like.” She tilted her head and smiled.

And so ended her first speed dating interaction. This wasn’t so bad…she wondered who she would meet next.

Eloise grinned and started counting off the fun facts Angelo was giving him. At the last, he gave a snort. "Mate, the biggest surprise there was yer hair bein' naturally. How d'ya even keep up with it! When me hair passes me shoulder, I start cuttin' it off with a knife."

The timer rang. Eloise gave Angelo a two finger salute. "Be seein' ye around, mate. Hope next time I see ye it wouldn't be ye draggin' me ass into a jail cell." He cackled.

Now, who else?

Eloise slid into the pretty girl's chair and flipped his card. "Heya! Me name's Eloise, and I'm gonna kiss you now." If this didn't pan out, he didn't think he'd give any warning anymore. Just have it be a surprise! Wasn't life full of surprises?

He lunged forward and tried to kiss Charlie on the mouth.

He smiled back, and happily took her number, "thank you Caterina, it was a pleasure talking to you." He gave a small bow, "I'll call you." With that he stepped away and looked over the others, uncertain who to talk to next.
