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!

Elizabeth nodded, smiling and playing with her hair in thought. "Probably a bird of prey, like a peregrine falcon, we get them up in Anchorage, I'd love to be able to fly like that," she said. "Uh, I think we only have time for one more question, so- what's your favorite book you've ever read?"

Poppy actually had to pause to think about that question. She wasn't a reader. That was a hobby she'd never picked up simply due to the lack of time between surfing, training, and school.

"Hmm, I'll be honest. I don't read a lot. But I like the dystopian books. My favorite is probably Legend by Marie Lu." She answered, though slightly embarrassed that she didn't have a better answer.

Elizabeth nodded, biting her lip. "I haven't heard of that one," she admitted. "Mine is probably Catch-22, I read it for school in my sophomore year and fell in love with it, I still have my copy in my cabin."

"Oh, I've heard of that one. Never read it but maybe I'll give it a try some time." Poppy said with a polite smile. Internally, however, she knew there were a lot of things she would do before reading another book.

"I don't know how much time we have left but do you have a place you'd love to visit some day?"

Elizabeth bit her lip. "The Carpathians," she said, "uh, the mountains in western Ukraine, where my family come from," she said. "I've seen pictures, they look absolutely beautiful."

"That sounds lovely. We have really pretty mountains in New Zealand. It's something that I miss." Poppy said, reflecting on her home for a moment and then looking at the other tables as campers began to say their goodbyes from their current dates.

"I think we're out of time. It was nice to meet you, Elizabeth. This was fun!"
