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!

Exactly. So you can explore me without worry!

[burning_youth]

[Warren has to laugh at that.]

And what if I'm the dangerous one here?

[kree_soldieress]

Lauri-Ell looks at the cup that is set before her and considers it.

"I have not seen milk like this before."

But she's smiling because this is a new experience and those are always a delight.

"It looks pretty."

[dead_tongue]

You don't seem very dangerous.

[sonicstriker]

"It's warm and has chocolate in it," she says. "The things on top are whipped cream and caramel. And yeah, I love how they do the little designs with the milk," Tifa agrees. "I'm learning but I'm not very good yet."

She lifts her mug, smiling at Lauri-Ell. "Cheers to experiences."

[kree_soldieress]

"Cheers," she agrees, lifting the mug and carefully sipping. Her eyes go wide and then she takes another sip.

Clearly she has no idea that she now has a whipped cream mustache.

"This is wonderful!"

[burning_youth]

[Warren chuckles and shakes his head.]

Well, you don't know me well yet. But maybe I've got surprises that people might assume is dangerous around me.

[atypical_echo]

[Who needs great? Who is going to get it their first time?]

I think we do. It's not all wobbly anymore.

[dead_tongue]

Like what?

[dead_tongue]

True! Okay, uhm, maybe make the top narrower...?

[He glances back.]

This is fun!

[atypical_echo]

And I would think that the top should be... nice and rounded.

[Oh god he's blushing at his own line.]

It's lots of fun.

[burning_youth]

[The fire of the candle on the table leaps higher.]

That's a good question.

[dead_tongue]

[Iggy looks sultry and amused.]

I like all kinds of tops. For the record.

[biactually]

Nick's eyebrows furrow. He might feel uncomfortable bringing up his own serious topics on a first date, his heart goes out to Teddy and he asks out of concern, "Sounds like you speak of something specific. Would you want to talk about it?"

[dead_tongue]

Oh, Jesus! Did you see that?!

[Yeah, he's... not catching on.]

[hybrid_prince]

"That seems like a really big downer for a first date," Teddy admits with a smile. He didn't think it was appropriate. But that's okay. "Sorry. I'll be cheerier."

[burning_youth]

Yeah. I did.

[Warren doesn't mess with the fire anymore.]

So, anything on the menu look good?

[atypical_echo]

[Oh god. Mark laughs, face still read.]

You're just like that aren't you? Like, over the top?

[dead_tongue]

Is that too extra?

[A genuine question; Iggy is never actually sure if he's being way, way too gay for people.]

[sonicstriker]

Oh, gosh, she's...precious. Tifa knows what it feels like to be stared at, and she blushes when she catchers herself looking too long, hastily looking at her hot chocolate instead.

"I'm definitely a fan. Are you pretty new to town then?"

[biactually]

"No." Nick's eyebrows dip to Teddy's words, and he reaches over to put a hand over one of Teddy's, if he'll allow it.

"I didn't mean it that way. I apologize if I came off like that. I think...if it's something sad, a cat cafe with a warm drink, a warm creature to cuddle, and someone who wants to listen if you want to talk about it? That seems like a perfect time to talk about it." He cants his head in Teddy's direction as he adds, again, "Only if you want to."

[dead_tongue]

Weird.

[He looks around, half expecting a ghost. But there's nothing.]

Oh! Uhm. Gosh, what would you recommend?

[bornofwords]

The tangy vanilla you mentioned? That is tempting, I think.

[ Sigma was a little caught up in looking at the flavour options once they were inside, but a grin crossed his face at the positive reaction he hears from Mark. ]

I think that’s the point of these things. It’s a treat, right?

[ask_whydunit]

Seriously?

[ Waver’s brows lifted with a curiosity that was barely subdued. He knew those were around, but he hadn’t realized they were kept at the Garden. And the fact that Nida’s personal weapon of choice was actually the kind for monster hunting was… pretty cool.

Listen, he grew up on the old stories about quests and monster hunts as much as he did digging through his grandmother’s magecraft books. It would one day grow into a small video game addiction thanks to someone else’s influence.

So maybe he’s a little impressed by that, but only more than a little! ]

I mean, uh- I’ve never really seen a pseudo-dragon, but I guess that makes sense if you’re going to learn to deal with some of that stuff.

[boomchucka]

[Selphie looks up and smiles warmly at Steve. She doesn't know the first thing about him, but she'll figure it out with time.]

Hey! Sounds about right! Hopefully, the lines move quickly so we make it past the coat check.

[She's gonna make the best of this situation, just you wait!]

Sooooo, what brings you up this way?
