Singles Night @ Bright Sky Diner

[sonicosuper]

It had started as a joke, but gradually more people were showing interest in the idea, and so Singles Night became a thing. It would be fun, the managers said, and it would hopefully gain some revenue. The event would have been advertised around the city, so when the night came, the staff there were waiting for a good turn out. They'd certainly gone to some effort.

 

MAIN AREA

The main part of the diner had been changed into an area made of larger tables to encourage mingling. Here there were buffet tables set up, and the lighting was warm and friendly. Light jazz music played very softly in the background to keep the atmosphere buzzing and happy. Maybe people would meet the love of their life here, or maybe they'd just meet a new friend.

BOOTHS

The booth along the walls of the restaurant remained as they were, but the lighting above the tables was muted for a more intimate feel. These areas of the restaurant would be quieter and there was no need for anyone to be nearby unless they were seeking a little more peace. These tables are ideal for people who have found someone they'd like to get to know a little better. It's relaxed, but pretty romantic, with candles on the tables too. These booths include table service, with quiet but friendly wait staff.

OUTSIDE AREA

Now this is the special place to be. The outside area of the diner has been transformed into a romantic and cosy place. Fairy lights decorate the fencing, and there are warm blankets on the benches too. This is a perfect place for those who want to cuddle up. After all, what better way to warm up than to sit side by side and admire the stars with the charming stranger you've just met?

I see...

[It takes her a few seconds before she starts laughing.]

Good luck with that one.

[She laughs again, like he'll need it.]

[sarcaskick]

You think I'll need luck?

[ He rests a hand on his hip, lifting one finger from the cup in his other hand to point at her vaguely. ]

You wandered right over and told me you're not looking for anything committed. So unless you're seriously here to just relax and watch other people give goo-goo eyes to one another...

[ A shrug. ]

I'm just saying. Options are there.

[swordprincess]

[Or maybe she just needed a good laugh...]

Exactly. I'm not looking to "get laid," nor do I see it happening even if I was. So, better luck next time, mister...

[sarcaskick]

[ A little roll of his eyes, but it doesn't seem like he really cares all too much. Swing and a miss. Whatever. ]

"Mister" nothing. Mercury is fine.

[swordprincess]

Very well, Mercury. I'm Karla.

[She almost slaps her Deputy Guardian title at the end, but it doesn't seem appropriate for this setting. She wouldn't be opposed to telling him if it came up, though...]

[sarcaskick]

[ He, fortunately, doesn't tag Former Criminal onto his. Though once a murderer, always a murderer, really. ]

Karla. Noted. Anything else? Please, don't let me keep you from a productive evening of doing nothing.

[swordprincess]

[Being a criminal doesn't stop her from liking people, even if she'd punish them just as easily. She liked Roman well enough in spite of his criminal background and his allegedly "using" her.]

Hmm, nothing in particular. Unless you wanted to continue chatting, of course...

[sarcaskick]

Would our continued chatting increase the likelihood of clothes coming off?

[ a regular casanova ]

[swordprincess]

[Wow, that desperate, huh? She shoots him a blank look, blinking a few times.]

I...sincerely doubt it.

[sarcaskick]

[ Not so much "desperate" as "doesn't care to bother with tact" ]

Theeeeeeeen what's the point.

[swordprincess]

Isn't the whole point to mingle with one another?

[sarcaskick]

The point is what you make of it.

[swordprincess]

[And then she'll give him a mock bow.]

And there you go.

[sarcaskick]

So smooth. Oh goodness. I think I'm falling in love after all.

[swordprincess]

[And have another laugh.]

I'm not sure I should believe you...

[sarcaskick]

Would a face like this ever lie to you?

[ it would, it so would ]

[swordprincess]

[Mercury, you are going to make her DIE from laughter...]

I don't know...why don't you tell me?

[sarcaskick]

[ it would be the most humane death he's ever granted someone ]

It would. Or would it? I guess you'll never really know.

[swordprincess]

[She finally finishes laughing with a long sigh.]

I suppose I'll take that as a yes.

[sarcaskick]

You're calling me a liar? You'll never get a man with that kind of presumptuous attitude.

[swordprincess]

And you'll never get a woman if you can't even give a straight answer.

[Zing!]

[sarcaskick]

That's where you're wrong! No lady likes it when a guy is finished too quickly.

[ z...zing? ]

[swordprincess]

...Finished with what, exactly?

[Lying? She's sure that nobody likes a liar.]

[sarcaskick]

[ No response.

He just.

Winks. ]

[swordprincess]

[Blinks.]

Okay...

[She lets out another light laugh as she continues waiting for a response.]
