Fishes In The Sea-Chp4

[once they were done with lunch, the four grudgingly hung out for a while to kill time until finally in the evening, they made their way to the hotel where the speed dating event was to take plc]

Peepers: [looks at the brochure, then looked at the building before them] Gravid Hotel. Yup, tht's the plc

Wander: Wow~ This hotel looks posh! :O

Sylvia: (nod) Yup.

Hater: (worry) Oh boy...

Peepers: Don't worry, sir, ur gonna be fine. I got ur bk

Wander: And me too! :D

Peepers: Unfortunately |-(

Sylvia: (smirk)

Hater: Yeah... right. :) Okay, I can do this.

Wander: Then lets go~ [gave Hater's bk a gentle clap to move him forward]

Hater: (nod) (heads inside with the others)

[the group entered the hotel, n made their way to one of the hall lounges, following the signboard tht said SPEED-DATING EVENT HERE]

Hater: This is it.

Sylvia: ;) Go get them, tiger.

Wander: We'll be at the nearby bar there cheering u on [pointed at the bar near the event]

Peepers: Hang in there, sir ;)

Sylvia: (follows Wander)

Hater: I'm trying...

Peepers: [patted his bk a little before joining Sylvia n Wander]

MC: Alright, bachelors n bachelorettes. Thank u for coming to this speed dating event. Lemme explain the rules: Each of u get to hv at least 10 mins of chat time with each other, n wen I ring the bell like this [shows it with a ding sound], tht means ur 10 mins are up n u will hv to switch partners until u've finished talking with all ur potential partners. Here r ur score cards so tht u can privately rate the partner u hv just chat with on a scale of 1-10. Let the game of love begin~<3 [rings the bell]

Hater: (takes a few deep breathes) Okay... :)

[the event went along as normal, with the partner change every 10mins]

Wander: Wow, this is reli fascinating stuff there...

Peepers: Kinda shallow a little, if u ask me

Sylvia: (think) A little. How do you think Hater's holding up?

Peepers: He seems fine so far, bt I don't think they're too into him just yet tho. They seemed to be more eager to be with tht dude [pointing at a pretty good looking white peacock humanoid who seems to be pretty popular n hv a positive effect on ladies so far]

Wander: Wow, he looks so beautiful~ I almost thought he was a woman at first

Sylvia: |-( Ugh, attention hogger.

Peepers: Probably a player from the looks of it

Wander: Now who's being shallow? He could be genuinely looking for love

Sylvia: :^) I don't know...

Hater: (did his best to keep a calm front) :)

[finally the last person sat before Hater]

??: Welp, lets get this ovr n done with then, shall we?

Hater: (looked up...) :o Uh....

[before him sat a women with green skin n red eyes with dripping mascara design as makeup, n had long Mohawk white hair, dressed in rather sexy black romper tht showed her cleavage]

??: Hey. Name's Dominator, u can call me Dom. Wat's urs?

Hater: Uh... (shook his head) H-Hater, :$ Lord Hater.

Dominator: Lord? U royalty or something?

Hater: S-sorta, from my dad's side. Y-yourself?

Dominator: Eh, I'm a lord as well, sorta. Self-proclaimed. I'm mostly a conqueror, bt the lord sorta stuck [was doing her nails while she talked, looking like she didn't reli wanna be here]

Hater: (tugged at his hoody) So um... you like...stuff?

Dominator: :^) Stuff...?

Hater: Like... food, perhaps? ^^;; (was starting to lose his cool a bit)

Dominator: Oh, tht. Well, definitely spicy food. The hotter the better. In fact I plan to go to Planet Jambalaya 8.0 vry soon, they got this spicy challenge I'd like to tackle [grinned to herself]

Hater: Oh, wow. (nod)

Dominator: Look, I'm gonna be straight with u [turned to face him] I'm not here by choice. My second in command thinks I need to settle dwn or something bcoz conquering alone is getting a little old, bt I'm perfectly fine doing this gig alone, u dig me?

Hater: Oh, so...you're not...interested with me? :(

Dominator: Now hold up there, bones. I'm not saying tht. I wouldn't mind giving this a shot still. Ur a pretty good looker. We can hang out, see where things r going. Besides [glanced at the trio in the bar] u got a great posse going there, giving u moral support n all

Hater: Hm? Oh them? Yeah, they are. (nod)

Dominator: In fact, it seems u already got a pretty good looking gal there [jerked her head towards Sylvia] U two seem to be a good match

Hater: Oh, um, (shake) no, she's not really into men or something like that.

Sylvia: (blinked when Dom looked in her direction) :o ...

Dominator: Ah, I see. Playing for the other team, huh? I can dig tht [hears the bell ding] Guess its my cue to go. Lets see how our luck may take us then ;) [steals another glance at Sylvia n smirked coyly before walking away]

Hater: (wave) Yeah Cya.

Sylvia: (blinked again) :$

Wander: [noticed her blush] Hmm... (smirk)

Peepers: [didn't notice as he was paying attention to the event] Looks like the MC is gonna go collect the score cards n tally the results

Sylvia: (didn't respond at first)

Peepers: So who do u think Lord Hater would go with?

Wander: I hv a good feeling abt a couple of them. Wat do u think, Syl?

Sylvia: :o, Huh, what? What'd you guys say?

Wander: (giggle)

Peepers: Seriously? The event is right in front of u n u hv no idea wat we're saying? :^)

Sylvia: Oh, that. Yeah, we'll see who Bonehead ends up with. (nod)

MC: Thank u for participating. We will now tally the marks on the score cards n see who ur most compatible with. It'll take a while, so why don't u mingle n hv a drink, n enjoy some refreshments at the bar or our nearby cafe area. Cya in a bit! [leaves with the score cards]

Wander: [waved at Hater] (wave) Yoohoo! Hatey~

Peepers: [turned to the bartender to order a drink for Hater as the Skeletor made his way to them]

Hater: (wave) Hey, guys.

Wander: Looks like things r moving on pretty well at ur end ;)

Hater: Yeah, :$ so it seems.

Wander: Keeping our fingers crossed for ya, Hatey (yn)

Peepers: [came bk with a drink for Hater] Here ya go, sir. U must be thirsty from all tht

Hater: :) Thanks, C Peeps. (takes a sip)

Wander: So anyone u hope to be able to get to know more? :)

Hater: Well, Dom, she's...she seems pretty cool. :$

Sylvia: :^) (sipped her drink)

Wander: Yeah, I saw u hitting off with her, much better than the other candidates

Peepers: Think she's the one, sir?

Hater: (yn) It's possible.

Sylvia: :^) Yep.

Peepers: Wat's up with u? :^) One moment ur cool for Hater, now u look like ur anything bt OK

Sylvia: (shake) I never said that.

Peepers: Ur face says otherwise

Wander: Shh! I think the MC is coming bk!

Hater: :O

Peepers: Better hurry up n finish ur drink n join the group

Hater: (nod) (finishes his drink and heads back)

Wander: Ooh this is so exciting

Dominator: [had joined the group to gather round at the MC, then sees Hater at a distance] ;)

Hater: (sees it) :$

MC: Alright, u lovely lovebirds, gather round. Here's the result of the score cards to see who ur most compatible with [reads out loud a few couples, gathering them at one corner]

Hater: (awaiting his turn)

MC: [finished a few more couples] OK, two more to go. We hv Mr Abernathy [gesturing at the white peacock humanoid] with A LOT of high score cards, bt I suppose the best match would be... Ms Voi ovr there [gestured at a light gold humanoid android bot, in which the lady happily glided towards the peacock, in the midst of all the angry jealous stares]

Peepers: Huh, I guess pretty bird is into bots

Wander: Aww~ They look kinda like a cute couple

Sylvia: (nod) They kinda do, actually.

Hater: (worry)

MC: And last bt not least, Mr Lord Hater [gestured to Hater] and... Ms Lord Dominator right there

Dominator: [smirked as she went to the corner of matched couples, gesturing Hater to join her]

Hater: :D (goes over to join her)

Wander: Hurray! They got together! They match! (party)

Peepers: Well, at least something went right :)

Sylvia: Yeah, (nod) seems so.

MC: Congrats to all the matched couples. Hopefully u all can further ur relationship along n get to hv a happily evr aftr in the future. For those who didn't get the match, don't be discouraged. We hv another event nxt week, so hopefully u can get lucky. Lets hear it for our matched couples! :D (clap)

Hater: :D

Sylvia: :) (on the inside: :( )

Wander: (party) Congrats, Hatey~

Peepers: (clap)

Hater: (wave)

Dominator: [nudged Hater] So, Bones, how's abt u and me get to knw each other ovr some food. I still plan to go on Planet Jambalaya for tht spicy food challenge. I could use a plus one

Hater: (nod) Yeah, sure, why not?

Sylvia: (think) ...

Dominator: It's a date then ;) [gives him a card] Here's the frequency to my communicator. I'll cya ard [walked off in a sultry move, waving goodbye to him]

Hater: (wave) (heads back to his group)

Wander: Hatey~ I'm so happy for u! [gives him a hug]

Peepers: Way da go, sir. I knew it wouldn't turn out too bad

Hater: :) Heh, thanks guys.

Sylvia: :) ...

Wander: Lets celebrate with a few rounds of drinks then! Woohoo!

Peepers: A bit of celebratory booze won't hurt. Its also good for heartbreaks as well (smirk) [smirked at Sylvia]

Sylvia: |-( Oh hush up.

Wander: (giggle)

Peepers: Barkeep! One round of drinks for me n Lord Hater n our... well, our associates
