romance and murder go so well together
[ If the colorful posters from Tuesday weren't enough, Yato has redoubled his efforts for today and slapped these up all over the place:
We are admittedly not entirely sure what the heck the catgirl is there for, but she's there. Anyway, in the dining hall this evening, Aqua and Yato have set things up for a group dinner!! All the food is being put on one table; the rest of the room is for mingling and is colorfully decorated in a way that suggests that Yato went wild in the art room at some point and decided what we all really need in our lives is more color and more glitter!!
There's also this piece of paper with everybody's names on it in pairs, and sets of questions (red tab at the bottom of the spreadsheet). That's right, your mystery game is speed-dating and Yato is here to be your cupid for the evening!! ]

He's always approachable, and he seems to be doing okay tonight.
...at least Yato made an allowance for him when it came to speed dating. That's thoughtful of him. And he does like both the King and Shirazu, so hopefully this won't be too weird?]

... He's purposely left himself off of that speed-dating pair up list, but HE DOESN'T NEED EXCUSES TO CASUALLY FLIRT... Since he's actually making an effort tonight, he'll be especially annoying and go up to anybody and everybody with a fruit skewer in hand and make a demand: ]
Hey, eat one of these!!
[ do it or else he'll just shove some fruit in your mouth, to be honest. ]

yeah, it's pretty silly. But he put together some chicken stir fry and he's not going to let it go to waste, and... well, it's a harmless social event. He's really hoping Gabriel and Speedwagon avoid some of those questions, though...]

Speed dating? Is this really okay?
Well... if he insists, it's hard to say no to someone so enthusiastic...
Aqua's brought a platter of black bean burgers, since there are a few of them who don't eat meat. She's also brought out a variety of different buns and toppings--it's quite the spread. ]

...he seems to be completely clueless and unaware of just what the hell is going on. Yeah, he never paid attention to the posters Yato poured so much care into.
He does notice there's something weird happening when he enters and finds the Dining Hall so decorated]
Huh? Did Mettaton-san start redecorating the Vault already?

Mettaton is still in the position if "I don't eat anything" but that doesn't mean he isn't going to put an effort in; admittedly, he can't test anything he does make and he doesn't have his magic to make a good amount of the things he's used to, but he understands enough of the basics to do simple things - namely, he understands that milk is supposed to be cold and if you combine it with fruit and sugar and ice you can make drinks that are supposedly awesome, and the blender is good for a lot of things and dear god you can make just so many colors, and certain kinds of fruit are great and long story short oh my god, so much starfait?
...It's more like a very fruity multi-layered smoothie from hell, but it's actually pretty good as long as you don't take it too fast, because if you do that it may actually cause your brain to seize up a little from all the cold and sugar.
Either way, the speed-dating is...sort of a surprise? He isn't too sure what to do with the speed-dating, other than maybe treat it like an interview. Not that he at all minds the people he's apparently been paired with (they're pretty great), but more...how the hell do we do romantic anything. It's pretty much a concept he knows how to play lip service to?
...This is going to be interesting.]

....No, he doesn't know what's happening here yet. Frankly, Speedwagon's just happy to be here and glad to talk to pretty much anyone.
This is just a harmless event, what's the worst that could happen...?]

Gabriel actually has a couple issues with dating people here, especially given what happened back home, but he can deal with that.
He's made vegetarian gumbo; normally gumbo is made with shrimp, and well... that sounds way too much like murder to him now, so a vegetarian version for everyone it is. It's still delicious and flavorful, but it's obvious that Gabriel is used to cooking it with a meaty protein.]

The speed-dating thing, though...that throws him off quite a bit. He never really thought about dating back home, let alone in a murder vault. So he's going to awkwardly read those questions over and...look for Mouri and Lynne, he supposes...
He's also approachable for questions from others or random chitchat!]

Speed-dating though... no one told her that was going to be a thing, so now she's kind of nervously gripping her clothes once or twice as she looks around awkwardly. She doesn't know anything about speed-dating, help...
That said, she'll talk to anyone that does decide to approach her, regardless of whether or not it's for that speed-dating thing.]

Point being, he's not awkward at all as he mills around the room. It does help that this is obviously not really dating for him - he's way too old for any of these people, except the weird ones he's way too young for. Doesn't mean he can't hang around, chat, and maybe mess with some folks!]

Without any other clothing available Bruce is still stuck in his usual jarring neon jumpsuit - but he did cook some food to bring for the, ah, festivities. As it turns out, its actually curry. Indian curry and naan, specifically - or at least as close as Bruce can get to it. Exotic stuff isn't something that the Kingmaker had in mind when he stocked the storage and kitchens, apparently. Not that that's a surprise.
For the most part Bruce is pretty open to talking and being talked to (more of the latter, of course, to nobody's surprise), and in the times where he isn't occupied he can be found sitting just a little further away from the main crowd, reading a book he picked out from the library or writing something in his Ubiquitous Notebook.
...and no, he's not going to approach Mouri and Taichi. They're free to find him, but Bruce is content just being at the edge of this particular party.]
