It's For Your Own Good

Blind Date Meme



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 Play

1. 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!

Wow, those are really good lips. Really great lipstick. So beautiful. Robin's staring. And blushing enough to turn about the color of those lips. Then she leans in to suck on her own straw.

She's going to explode from the heat in her cheeks.

[biactually]

Nick chuckles to that.

"It worked," he points out.

"Hopefully you like your tea choice just as much." Nick settles down at the table and tries his own.

[ooc: sounds like it. you can't get more? ]

[bornofwords]

Yeah? Well, if you’re finished with the potato skins, then I think we definitely could. I’ll just be a moment while I pay for it, and we can go.

[ He offered his agreement with a smile, finishing his soda and getting his wallet. ]

[ask_whydunit]

Oh, then…

[ He needed to think about that. It made sense, though. A military academy would have more restrictions on the students and all… So he offered a nod. ]

Then how about this? I’ll let Melvin know we could use another meet up and he can let your friend know however they’ve been communicating, and we can work something out then.

[ To be honest, Waver wasn’t sure how Melvin had set all this up to begin with, but it seemed a safe bet the guy had his ways. ]

[biactually]

"Is that a challenge?" Nick asks, voice still with that sweet lilt of his, curious and excited all at once.

"There's only one way to find out."

[california_dreaming]

There really is only one way to find out. And he laughs.

"Yeah, I might have to take you up on that."

[hybrid_prince]

"I can't wait to see," he says as he shifts to sit up a bit more to smile at the guy.

"I'm glad you showed up."

[Ooc: i don't think the company makes it anymore]

[atypical_echo]

[Well that's a kind thing to offer. Mark smiles and finishes his last potato skin. This should be enough.]

I'm ready then.

[seed_pilot]

That would be good. If it works out.

[Because he wants it to work out. The guy is quite charming and he wants to spend the time with Waver if he can.]

Because it would be nice to hang out again.

[blossomingginger]

Oh, this little birdie is too cute, flits across Cheryl's thoughts as she watches Robin's color redden.

She grins as she pulls away from the straw.

"It is a good pick."

[blossomingginger]

"It might. Or maybe apple infused syrup has a future." She is pretty sure there is more going on here, though.

She listens to Genesis' words, her mind ever turning.

"That might be my parents designs. Plant their eyes on you for future heir. If you remain in the military, then, it would be name only. But they will not entrust their company in my very capable hands."

[biactually]

"I would like that," Nick says all too earnestly. He actually would enjoy the thrill of going against Billy and seeing how their skills match up.

"Whenever you want. We could even go now. Unless you had other plans today."

[biactually]

Nick's eyes widen to that, a little surprised.

"I'm," he runs a nervous hand through his red hair, "I'm glad you showed up, as well." Nick tries his own tea, and seems pleased as a fluffy gray point cat nuzzles up against his leg.

His body jolts, then he looks down and smiles. "Another friend!"

[ooc: sad]

[silent_sacrifice]

"I am content with the juice. And they will not likely get many other inventive uses, seeing as it was me that created the process to make said juice."

He had been a child prodigy in several fields, none of which he still touched at this point.

Though he is intrigued at her conclusion. But he offers his arm to her, happy to guide her in at this point.

"Have you experience and education in business management?"

[california_dreaming]

Well then. Billy grins and slows down to get them around a corner.

"I know a way into the school after hours."

[hybrid_prince]

Why should he be surprised? It made Teddy smile softly as he sips his own tea. And damn, it tastes nice too.

"Am I making you nervous?"

[work_wife]

"I'm glad," she says with a smile. But this is already pleasant. "They make the best ones here. Like, super best."

[bornofwords]

[ While Mark does that, Sigma gets the bill settled and pockets his wallet again. ]

Great! I’ll let you lead the way, since you know where it is.

[ He added with a grin, getting the door and holding it open for Mark to pass through before him politely. ]

[ask_whydunit]

Yeah, I kind of hope it does. Melvin would be happy too.

[ Waver takes a small glance at the other table. Melvin is still talking rather animatedly with Nida’s friend, probably telling her some story from class if he had to guess. ]

But yeah, it would be. This has been… kinda cool. You’re good to talk to, Nida.

[ Which was high praise, given he didn’t generally acknowledge enjoying something. ]

[blossomingginger]

"They do. This is a fact," Cheryl agrees.

She settles back to ask, "What hobbies are you into, Robin?" A head tilt, because Cheryl can't wait to talk about herself, "I'm a Vixen. A cheerleader." Amongst other things she dabbles in, like witchcraft.

But that's a conversation for later. Despite wanting to say more, she does give Robin room to reply.

[blossomingginger]

"Good. Because Blossom Syrup is mine." Cheryl doesn't say that with empty confidence, either.

She takes Genesis' hand.

"Once I graduate high school I can pursue that in earnest, but I have more than enough experience handling my own parents, as well as their co-conspirators. As well as being the person that got contracts with other businesses. I'm the reason they have a lucrative partnership with Luna Rum."

It had been Veronica's idea, sure, but Cheryl was going to take the credit for contract over her parents - they had nothing to do with it.

[biactually]

"Billy," Nick says with equal parts amusement and playful scandal, "I think you might be trouble."

And not for a second does Nick sound put off by that fact. If anything, the smile he gives Billy in return for that information screams intrigued.

[biactually]

He wasn't expecting it, that sort of appreciation, or Teddy's kindness. His sweet smile.

"No," Nick answers quickly, then gives a shaky laugh. "I mean, I am nervous. But not because of you."

His eyes flicker down, then up rather quickly. "You're just so nice. I'm not used to this blind date thing. I wasn't sure what to expect. So far, though, I like it."

[seed_pilot]

[See, the thing was that Nida didn't care much about Melvin being happy to hang out with Selphie. No, Nida just wanted to see Waver.]

Thanks. I'm not used to people saying that. So, you know, uh, thanks.

[He's repeating himself, but he's blushing anyway.]

[silent_sacrifice]

Indeed? Genesis looks at her, clearly full of respect. Another sharp mind, who created that which elevated those around her. How intriguing. And she's young enough at that. Though he has to pause at her implied age.

"How old are you? Dear lord, I may need to deal with your parents in another fashion."
