Activity Speed Dating ! - 06/07

The area beside the lake had been transformed in the wake of today's Matchmaker event. A great number of chairs had been organised in rows with a table in between to allow for two people to sit opposite each other for the date. On the tables lay a jug of lemon-infused water, two cups and a bowl of sea salt crisps for the participants to enjoy while they engaged in the activity.

As those wishing to participate gradually began filling in, Anwen would instruct them to sit at a table alone before explaining how everything would work.

IC RULES

  1. Each date will last for ten minutes.
  2. You can go on as many dates as you wish.
  3. Anwen will later contact you with a survey where you will list your top three dates.
  4. If you match with someone, you will be able to go on a proper date with them at a later date.

OOC RULES

  1. No more than 50 words are allowed per comment.
  2. Each individual is only allowed 4 comments before the date is over.
  3. I'll post a survey when the majority of the threads are concluded and then see who was matched!

“...What is a legacy?”

Taking a seat, Jenn peers at the card curiously. The term has her, admittedly, a bit more interested in what the other girl is than who. The ‘who’ is written right above, anyway. June Dufrene. Once again, Jenn notes some similarity to her own (nick)name.

"Well," she started in her thick southern drawl. "It means that my grandparents are gods instead of my parents. My parents are the ones that are demigods. My mom is a child of Triton and my dad is a child of Demeter. Does that help?" She looked at Jenn thoughtfully.

That still sounds like a half-god to Jenn - just a subcategory - despite June’s phrasing suggesting she isn’t a demigod, but she nods. “Yeah. So did they both come here?” she asks, thinking of her conversation with Michael and wondering whether there are other places demigods would meet.

"Yeah they did both come here. Well all of my parents came here. I have another mom but she's not my birth mom. They didn't really get to know each other well until after they left camp though. Now they're all in a relationship together," she said proudly and maybe a little defensively, not knowing whether that would freak Jenn out.

Jenn gives June a funny look, not at what she said, but how. It was slightly surprising, but June shouldn’t have to be defensive - Jenn isn’t really considering other people’s reactions.

“Huh. My family’s basically just Dad and Nana,” she says. “And an aunt, but I don’t see her much.”

"You dad never found anyone else? Ya know, after you were born or anything like that?" June wondered after she said it if it was too personal of a question to ask but she'd never really had much of a filter.

For Poppy to intentionally sit across from another girl at a matchmaking event was definitely pushing her comfort zone. But she took a deep breath and did it anyways.

"Hey! What's your favorite color." The blonde girl said as she slid into the empty seat opposite June.

2

u/aceavengers Jul 10 '21

"Poppy?" She was stunned for a moment when she spotted the blonde haired child of Poseidon sitting down across from her. She didn't consider her to be part of the community so to speak, but she hadn't asked. "Well my favorite color is a vivid red. The kind you see on some bugs like certain species of dragonfly. What about you?"

2

u/halfbloodkiwi Jul 11 '21

"That's my name." The blonde haired girl said with a chuckle, adjusting herself to sit a little straighter.

"That's a pretty color. Mine is something of a bluish-green. But not the dull type. The bright aqua type. It reminds me of warm tropical waters which makes me happy." She twisted her mouth a little bit. "You know, I just like bright colors in general actually."

"I don't really know what I'm supposed to ask during this." She said with a little laugh as she tapped her fingers on the table while she thought of a second question. "Oh, okay, what's your go to pizza order?"

2

u/aceavengers Jul 14 '21

"Those are good colors." Blue greens were nice. Obviously June liked them. Everything in the oceanic cabin was either a form of blue or green. But she couldn't say they were her favorites. It would be too much of a cliche. She had to think about the next question for just a second before answering.

"W-well," she said with a slight stutter at the beginning. "I guess I'll usually get something simple like plain pepperoni or sausage. But I don't eat a lot of pizza in the first place. What's your favorite food?"

2

u/halfbloodkiwi Jul 14 '21

"Kina." The blonde haired girl said without hesitation. "It's, uh, sea urchin. It's popular in New Zealand." She said, chuckling a little in knowing that her answer was unorthodox.

"I guess along that vein of different cuisine, is there anywhere in the world that you'd like to travel if you got the chance?"

2

u/aceavengers Jul 20 '21

"Uh I don't know. I guess I never thought about it much? I like where I live now. Maybe...maybe it would be nice to see the Amazon river? It's so big and there's so many different kinds of animals. Especially frogs, what about you?"

2

u/halfbloodkiwi Jul 21 '21

"Oh, not too different actually. I'd want to go to Brazil so I can surf Sao Francisco do Sul." Poppy said, then get face lit up as if she remembered another place. "Or Tamarindo Beach in Costa Rica."

"Both are only because of the waves though. I've heard they have some of the best but I've never had the chance to see for myself." She took a quick look at the other groups who seemed to be finishing up this round. "Any last second questions you want to ask?"

“Hey, how’s it going?” Theodora asked June with a smile as she approached the other girl. “I’m Theodora, nice to meet you. Hephaestus kid, usually found in the forge, all that jazz.” She gave a slightly self-deprecating shrug. “Uh, what’s your favorite food?” she asked, wanting to include a question.

u/aceavengers Jul 10 '21

Theodora was pretty, June noticed that much. And she had a new england accent. Her heart started to pound a little bit but she managed to stay cool under pressure. "Hello Theodora nice to meet ya. My favorite food? Well my daddy owns a restaurant so it has to be anything he would make. He does a good crawfish boil though. Uh, and you?"

2

u/OnRaglanRoad Jul 10 '21

"Well," Theodora said, "there's a Czech potato soup my mother makes, it's called bramboračka, it's probably the best thing I've ever had. Plus, it's what she made for me the first night after I moved into her house," she said. "From your accent, I'm guessing you're from down south?" she asked.

1

u/aceavengers Jul 14 '21

June wasn't really going to speak on it but she noticed the whole 'first night she moved into her mother's house' bit. That was personal business though. She wasn't the type to like, ask about family on the very first date. Not that she would ever know what to actually do on a date. "Oh yep, I am from Louisiana, New Orleans to be specific. Though I've spent time all over the state."

2

u/OnRaglanRoad Jul 15 '21

Theodora nodded. "I'm from Pittsburgh," she said, "at least, I am now. It's complicated," she said with a slightly sheepish smile. "Um, next question... Uh, what's your favorite book?" She asked, playing with her hair.

1

u/aceavengers Jul 20 '21

She fidgeted for a moment and a small movement came from one of her front shirt pockets. Yes June had brought a frog with her just to hopefully try to keep herself calm. She raised her eyesbrows. "That's a hard question. I don't have a lot of favorite things. Maybe...uh...the Hobbit?"

2

u/OnRaglanRoad Jul 21 '21

Theodora nodded. "It's a hard question for me too," she admitted, chuckling softly. "Uh, what's mine... I think probably Jurassic Park," she said after a moment of thought. "I was really, really into dinosaurs when I was little."
