Maybe You Want to Be Here, Maybe You Don't
But You're Here!

It's as the tagline says. Maybe you want to be here - have a few laughs, get to know some new people, make new friends, maybe take someone home - or, maybe you don't. Either way, you're here, complete with a name tag, a list of preferences, and a mysterious magical force that's keeping you from leaving. Whether compelled to sit at your table and wait for your next match, or to visit tables yourself, it's time to partake in a thrilling game of speed dating. And no, you don't have a choice, so you might as well make the most of it.

How to Play:
- Make a top level with your character name and canon in the subject line. Include in your top level what's written on your character's tag. You may use this format if you wish:

Feel free to assume that your character filled it out themselves, or that it was magically filled out for them when they arrived and they aren't able to remove it. Whatever suits your character best!

- Assume your character is either seated at a table awaiting matches, freely exploring the room, or being propelled by some otherworldly force to mingle. That is to say, tag around to other top levels and speed date away!

- It may be a good idea to put in your top-level some preferences for whether you are looking for shippy threads, friendship threads, funny threads, etc.. whatever you'd like!

- Tag around, have fun, be respectful, follow basic dwrp rules, etc.!

Anyone and everyone is welcome, including fandom characters, fandom OCs, canon OCs, AUs, CRAUs, etc.! Feel free to spread the word and thanks for playing!

The purpose of winning is so that you and your team can keep playing and go up against stronger teams.

[ Basically, the point of winning is to keep playing until you've reached the end. Tobio doesn't really care for things like glory. He just wants to play. ]

[D33 does not understand even a little bit. He thought he did, and then he thought he didn't, and now he's sure he doesn't. What in the world is this boy going on about?]

Am I understanding correctly that your proposed purpose of this...game is to simply...continue the game?

[Pure idiocy. He despises that idea.]

Yes.

[ Unfortunately for D33, this is to be expected from talking to a volleyball idiot. ]

[So it is just for fun then. That's the only conclusion D33 can come to, and it's an incredibly frustrating one. They don't have fun where D33 comes from, and he'd have half a mind to be jealous if he knew any better. He doesn't though.]

That hardly make any sense.

Maybe it'll make sense if I taught you how to play.

I sincerely doubt that.

I'll only teach you if you want to try. You might like it or you might not. Volleyball's not for everyone.

[He'd say he appreciates the offer, but he doesn't. It seems this speed date will be even speedier with the speed with which D33 is killing the mood.]

I'm not interested in wasting my time with some ridiculous game.

[ That's fair, Tobio thinks. He wouldn't want to waste his time doing something he doesn't think is fun either. ]

What do you like to do with your time?
