Oh, this is the night and the heavens are right on this lovely Bella Notte

Who| Everyone who signed up for blind dating!
What| An evening of romance, or disaster, take your pick.
Where| The Swift Cut restaurant
When| 16th June
Warnings/Notes| The course of true love never did run smooth. Remember that if your character was not rolled in arena but you signed up for them to be here, you will need to mark their death on fatality reporting.

The atmosphere at the Swift Cut this evening is bustling. It's clear from the moment one enters the restaurant that they have pulled all the stops out for this televised extravaganza.

Every fire is lit and the air is filled with the scent of the roasting meat on spits over the flames; boar, beef, pork, venison and more. Pots bubble with the smell of hot stew, vegetables are being roasted in ovens and from giant casks around the room beer is being drawn. The staff are in full 'barbarian' getup, consisting of skimpy furs on both the male and the female servers but luckily for you they don't seem to expect a similar dress code from their guests.

Tribute's stylists may have had other ideas, of course.

The giant room has been clearly divided. Tribute's will find themselves directed to one side while trueborn citizens of Panem and petitioned out individuals are brought to the other. It is left up to them to find their table with the number they will be handed upon entering the restaurant. Whether they are the first to arrive at their table is a matter of chance but they can be sure that a cameraman will always be there to capture the moment of realisation on both participants faces when they realise who their date is.

Once everyone is seated the music will begin the play. Minstrels strum lutes and harps, their voices filling the air softly with traditional medieval ballads. There is a space set aside for dancing if anyone is in the mood.

Throughout the evening, and certainly at the end, Tribute's and Capitolites will find themselves sporadically approached by the show host to be asked questions about how they feel the evening is going. It's up to them how honestly they answer, though they should remember the camera's are always watching.

Terezi grin shifts to something a little more devious.

Meulin raises her eyebrow and shrugs. Though she's fairly sure this will not be as easy as she's about to make it sound

Meowbe I shall! I can just text them!
That is a thing I can do and you cannot see them

Wow love, who said anything about love? Meulin huffs and scribbles back hurriedly.

I never said I loved him.
I just told you I knew him that's all.

Don't be silly

Now it's time for Terezi to give Meulin her own kind of skeptical look. Really, the kind of naive thinking going on here...

Meulin doesn't meet her eyes, which is silly really. This isn't love, it's an old crush rearing its head again. Someone she never quite got over. And he sees them, quite obviously, as friends.

That's a lot of implications for a statement that said I'd rather be on a blind date with someone I know.

Poor, sweet, innocent Meulin. Terezi almost feels bad for teasing her. Almost.

I'm a gossip columnist!! I know furry well what people do with nothing of course!

Not that anyone else can write about me but if they did.


She's not pouting, you're pouting.

She gets an eyeroll for her laugh, which is obvious even if she cant hear it. There is only one romance journalist here after all.

I'll take your words under advisement.
Though I sort of know that already.

The rest is all your imagination.

Terezi grins knowingly, waggling her brows up and down for emphasis. She honestly doesn't know if Meulin has a crush or not... but getting her friend flustered is kind of hilarious in it's own right.

1F YOU S4Y SO

Meulin shakes her head slow and then waves her finger for emphasis as Terezi reads. What a ridiculous troll friend. Not friend. Whatever Terezi is now.

Exactly. Now go try to make friends with your 'blind date'. Or at least be nice. He's stuck here too.

She makes a face at the prospect of entertaining some dinner date that the Capitol expects her to be romantic with. She ought to give it a try, for cover's sake, but it's difficult to put her heart into it.

Later Terezi.

The rest is not dignified with a response but her eyes rest on him in the crowd, not long enough to get his notice, but long enough to contemplate. No. That's silly. It's time to go back to Peggy. She tucks everything back into her purse and slips back into her side of the restaurant.
