Case 50 - Turnabout Dance

[little_thief]

[After hearing that announcement from Quinn about the prom, Kay is struck with the most brilliant idea she's ever had.  Clearly, the entire town needs to hear about it.  To the phones!]

[Phone; filtered from drones]

Hey, everyone!  So, looks like it's prom season again!  I know there's a lot of new people in town who probably haven't really met anyone yet, and also that there are a lot of shy guys and girls in town who can't work up the courage to ask that cute classmate or neighbor of theirs to the dance, so I'm gonna help you guys out!  Kay Faraday's dating service is now open for business!  Just give me a call or drop a note in the mailbox at 505 Ricardo Street and tell me what you're looking for in a potential prom date, and I'll use a very scientific matching process to pair you up with your perfect partner!  All of your information will be kept totally confidential, and there's no charge for the service, so there's really no reason at all not to take advantage of this.  And who knows - you might really hit it off with your date and find true love and happiness!  I'll be waiting for your calls, 'kay?

..."Very scientific matching process"?

"This isn't one of those boy hat and girl hat and grab name things?"

[thief-of-truth.livejournal.com]

Of course not! Only the best for my clients!

[thief-of-truth.livejournal.com]

Right!

"Dart board? I'm trying to remember how they did that for the Christmas party on the Nadesico...."

[perfektsymmetry.livejournal.com]

Let me guess - drawing names from a hat?

I'm not at liberty to discuss the methods employed by the Kay Faraday Dating Service. What if our competition got word of it?

[thief-of-truth.livejournal.com]

Don't worry, all our results are guaranteed!

[perfektsymmetry.livejournal.com]

Do you have competition?

[hontobakabaka.livejournal.com]

"This prom thing sounds a bit silly, however I am curious what your methods will come up with..."

[thief-of-truth.livejournal.com]

Well, not yet, but this is America, after all. It's a free market! A competitor might pop up at any moment!

[thief-of-truth.livejournal.com]

So should I put your name in? What are you looking for in a date?

[perfektsymmetry.livejournal.com]

I... suppose. Well, good luck with it.

[hontobakabaka.livejournal.com]

"Not an idiot? Not mean? I don't know. I've never been on a date before, it all seems kind of silly."

[thief-of-truth.livejournal.com]

Do you need a date, Crowe?

[thief-of-truth.livejournal.com]

Looking for a nice smart guy...

[scribbling noises]

Got it!

[perfektsymmetry.livejournal.com]

O-Oh, no, that's okay. I'm probably not going to go.

[hontobakabaka.livejournal.com]

"I'm only 15, I don't know if that is relevant information. And my name is Hoshino Ruri."

Hey, Kay - mind if an expert on this sort of stuff gives you a hand?

[thief-of-truth.livejournal.com]

Sure, who is it? A friend of yours?

[trolololol, nah, she's just playin']

[instaboobs]

You're just gonna pair people off like that?

[timetables.livejournal.com]

Why do chicks always want to play matchmaker, it's uncanny.

[thief-of-truth.livejournal.com]

Sure, what's wrong with that?

[thief-of-truth.livejournal.com]

Would you like to sign up for the service?

[timetables.livejournal.com]

Nah, I think I'm good. I've already got girls lining around the block for the exclusive privilege of being my prom date. The applications are piling up, going to have to start looking through them and weeding out the real contenders. It's a lot of work, but a guy's gotta do what a guy's gotta do.

[obviously this is all nonsense...]
