Let's face it, sometimes it's difficult finding someone to share your time, and your heart (or maybe just your body), with. Luckily for you, you have well meaning friends. Unfortunately for you, you have well meaning friends who didn't tell you this was coming. That's right. They have taken it upon themselves (and no doubt friends of friends or family members or someone else who clearly doesn't know you) to arrange a date. Without telling you.
That's right. The dreaded blind date. Which means now you've got to get through at least a reasonable amount of time with a total stranger (or maybe not a stranger if you're particularly, well, we can't say if it's lucky or not) before you can reasonably escape. Maybe it will go well. Maybe this will be the start of the rest of your lives. Maybe you'll get laid. Maybe you'll have a horror story for the ages.
No matter what plays out, though, you're here. Might as well see just how your luck is going to play out.
How to Play1. Post your character and canon below along with any preferences. Then go back and edit your comment with the next number in order (i.e. first TL is 1, second is 2, etc) 2. Tag other TLs. If a character isn't in normal preferences, ask if they might want a date that goes poorly instead! 3. Optionally, get yourself a truly blind experience by going here and randomly generating a number. Then find the matching TL (numbered back in step one) and enjoy your blind date. 4. For more fun, use the list in the first comment for randomized date locations!

Just, part of what makes Nick such a good rugby player is that desire for thrills, the willingness for a little dangerous adventure. He isn't going to be scared off by this.

"Yes, one of," he says, his voice sounding slightly annoyed. Because he hated being 'one of' when he knew he was capable of being more. But he manages to calm himself.
"And it seems likely he chose you to try and keep me distracted."
(no subject)
[He shook his head.]
It's...fine. They didn't give me a name.
(no subject)
"Most people get pissy over how I drive."
(no subject)
[Friend? He doesn't know if it's the right term. He knows that neither of them really MEANT this to be a date, so it's wrong to say anything else.]

"Here the royal lines still hold great power. I believe this is related to the fact that we truly care. The Lucis Caleums have been in in power as long as the Nox Fleurets, which is over a hundred generations."
Likely they survived at that because they bloodlines that knew their duties was the defense of the people first. Though there were of course those in the Caleum bloodlien who were conquerers, long ago.

[She goes quiet as the lights fully dim. Time to watch. And Robin's very attentive to it, and happy to whisper answers to questions that Gray might offer. Mostly though she's watching as the play plays out. And when Intermission comes she leans back in her seat, sighing contentedly.]
Man, this is great so far.
(no subject)
[Well, less up to this and more guided this.]
I'm Zack. Was... Did no one tell you about this?
(no subject)
Yeah, I feel like I should have them more often. Though, I suppose if things go well, I could just dibs a second date. Might be too early to be hoping for that of course.
(no subject)
Well, he gestures at the cat again. Not getting to get it without upsetting the poor cat. And he's too gentle for that.
(no subject)
But even being called a friend and told talking to him was fun gets a small flush and a grin, because his stupid face doesn’t let him hide his damn emotions. ]
Oh, um… Neither did I? But it was. Fun. Usually being dragged around by Melvin, ends in some kind of disaster.
[ It still could, to be fair, but so far, so good. ]
(no subject)
Hmm… True that it might be too early to tell, though the odds may be in your favour should you decide later.
[ He offered lightly, picking a potato skin from the basket. He was enjoying this, and he definitely wanted to see how the rest of the date went… But Sigma finds he doesn’t mind the idea of meeting Mark again already. ]

The girl was grateful that Robin was there to answer her quiet questions, offered with fleeting glances before returning to watch the stage with the awe of someone who’d never seen something quite like this before. It was new, and exciting, and wonderful. So much so that her glances at the seats below had ceased, and she forgot to watch for her mentor and signs of trouble, not that there was any for once.
The intermission had her turning slightly in her seat, the closest thing to a beaming smile on her face. ]
It’s wonderful, more beautiful that I imagined. It’s been an interesting story, too.
[ Tilting her head a little, she added. ]
And thank you for putting up with all my questions. You know a lot about this stuff. I don’t think it would have been as easy to follow without your answers.
(no subject)
[She does rise from her seat to stretch.]
So, we could go out and get some drinks and come back, or hit the bathroom, or we could stay here and talk, if you want.
(no subject)
I like things being in my favor, as rare as that is. Okay, so let's do more ice breakers? Is that okay? Like... what's your heart's desire right now.
(no subject)
The night is still young, and we are SeeD cadets. So yeah, the potential is still there.
(no subject)
[ He doesn’t go looking for trouble… Yet. But it does tend to find him. ]
You mentioned her getting you in trouble for even coming out here. Aside from the diet thing, how strict are the rules for you guys?
[ Because it would probably be good to know if he should try to like… assist in avoiding that. ]
(no subject)
[ To learn more about Mark would be nice, and these kinds of questions could be fun. The man does tilt his head slightly as Mark starts with a question; considering his answer briefly. It’s not a hard question to answer, really. ]
My heart’s desire, hm? Well… It probably sounds a bit mundane to most people, but a quiet place to call home.
(no subject)
Hm… I wouldn’t mind a chance to get up and walk?
[ She could stand to stretch her legs a bit, she thinks. And it is so easy to go and come back, given they had the booth to themselves. ]
(no subject)
[Oh boy, rules.]
Garden can be strict in a lot of ways. For one thing, we're not allowed to fraternize with other cadets while we're cadets. Which of course a lot of people try to ignore. I think that's shy she's so happy to meet someone from outside of the school.
(no subject)
[But he loves people around him. He loves the buildings. The motion, the joy of it.]
(no subject)
[Because Robin doesn't want to, you know, completely abandon her date right now.]
Shall we?
(no subject)
Hm… I guess that would make sense if that’s the rules. [ And Melvin had been excited to meet someone as interesting as Selphie, so it seemed like it worked pretty well. ] We’re not discouraged, though at a certain point mages tend to go their own way unless relations are beneficial to one or both families of the mages in question.
[ Which was why arranged marriages were still a thing. Waver didn’t have to worry about that, at least. ]
(no subject)
So he smiled a bit, shaking his head with a rustle of his earrings. ]
Quiet might not have been the most accurate way to put it, compared to the kind of noise I’m used to. Like I wouldn’t mind living in the city, I just wouldn’t want there to be a party invading my space every night and overly pushy neighbors insisting on one thing or another every time I turn around.
(no subject)
[ Gray pushed herself to her feet from her chair and nodded with a little smile, more relaxed than she had been when they got here. ]
Will they do that thing with the lights again when we should get back to our seats?
[ she asked curiously, sticking close to Robin as she looked around as they left the booth behind again. ]
