Speed Dating at The Boneyard
Speed Dating at The Boneyard
To help support the Supernatural Toronto Animal Rescue, speed dating has been set up at The Boneyard, and everyone's invited! Everyone supernatural, that is. The bar has been decorated with hearts and streamers and little sparkling, floating motes of light, and every purchase of food and drink helps the rescue.
About thirty minutes into the start of the event, speed dating begins! At the beginning of each round, everyone participating is handed a card with a number on it - go to that number table to find your match. Magic prevents people from matching up twice, and when you sit down a magical little placard appears in front of you with your name, pronouns, species, job, and any other notes you may have added to your application, just to speed (get it?) things along. While everyone's preferences (both on what they're looking for and what gender they're after) were mostly respected, the organizer, a witch named Zoey Graves who calls herself a Love Doctor, has made some adjustments where she sees fit. Sorry not sorry!!!
Each round there's a prompt as well, to get the conversations going! Prompts are delivered from the stage via microphone by none other than Bracken Hemming, who has been given a red sequin cowboy hat that has a big heart on it. Zoey keeps trying to get him to unbutton his shirt more each round, to get the mood right. Also, any time someone buys a pitcher of beer, a bell is rung and Bracken has to do a shot of the pitcher-buyer's choosing.
» Arrivals: Give us your vibes
» Speed Dating: This is where the magic happens. Participants are given one free drink to loosen them up a bit.
» The Bar: Observers can watch this like a game show - everything they eat and drink helps out the charity, so they're definitely doing their part.

HOW THIS WORKS
- I've assigned everyone four partners each, but there were certainly more rounds, and you can feel free to make up any NPCs you matched with or do any match ups you want with other played characters!
- Round 4 is all just goober NPCs that I won't be running. If you have an NPC for rounds 1 or 2 (I put an asterisk next to them), feel free to start a thread and I'll reply some with the NPC.
- Everyone will have 10 minutes at each table - be charming, people, and quick!
- At the end of the night,
the Love DoctorZoey will collect the names of people you're interested in and what you're interested in with them (friendship? hookup? Ken?), and if the feeling is mutual she'll share your contact info with each other.

SPEED DATING: ROUND 4 & BEYOND Broderick and Elmer 'Trapper' Bishop
Flushed from the drinks, Broderick is leaning in maybe a bit too far over the table as they chat. "You might be the tallest person I've ever seen," he gets back to the original question at hand.
