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!]

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?

Uh, wow. Okay. Um, let's see. A prom is a big end of the year dance for kids in high school. Usually just the ones in their last year. But this one's open to the whole town. You get dressed up, and bring a date, and spend all night dancing and hanging out with friends and stuff. As for dating, I'm not sure I can really help you that much if you don't already know about it. I guess it's just finding someone you enjoy being around and doing things together a lot. It's different from just being friends, though, because there's also kissing and stuff.

Astartes do not do such things. I was asking as my daughters will likely be interested, and you seem willing to explain a bit.

[he pauses.]

Kissing?

[thief-of-truth.livejournal.com]

Don't tell me you don't know what kissing is.

[lunawolves10th.livejournal.com]

Of course I do.

I just had not considered it and... [he clears his throat.]

Should I be worried about my daughters?

[thief-of-truth.livejournal.com]

I don't know. Are either of them dating someone right now?

[lunawolves10th.livejournal.com]

I do not know. I should ask them. [he sighs.]

Being a father is quite difficult. I am sorry for bothering you.

It's no bother at all! Thanks for calling!
