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!

Five minutes isn't bad, but I'm still sorry to have kept you waiting.

[Because that wasn't gentlemanly or kingly. Not that this guy had to know any of that right now.]

Have you had a chance to get something to drink or anything?

[forsanbreque]

[Dion smiled and gestured to the seat across from him.]

Then please have a seat and we'll see about sharing a pleasant evening together.

[faithfulsupport]

[Ignis had taken the flowers and started to move the across the room when he heard Zack's explanation. He laughed slightly.]

It's quite alright. But you had no trouble finding the place did you?

[unbreakable_king]

What has led to you choosing to accept this? An arrangement like this is not the most common, and not the most exciting for many.

[legacy_blade]

I mean, no more than usual.

[Angeal is going to think he should probably take some time to review maps and orienteering.]

[envious_shadow]

[Brave of him to assume that Jasper 'saves room' for dessert so much as has to be forced to consider room for a proper meal.]

Alright then. I wish a table in a nice spot, with good views. And my back to a wall.

[wisecracking_shot]

Nope!

[But he's been to plenty of other restaurants before.]

You down for this? I hear it's nice.

[faithfulsupport]

No more than usual..

[Ignis gave Zack a concerned look as he worked on getting the flowers put into their vase.]

Do you perhaps have a GPS on your phone?

[orangewayfinder]

[Terra smiled and the hostess came over to seat them. Immediately he gave Jasper's specifications and she nodded, seating them immediately. Once they sat down and were handed menus, Terra smiled.]

This works, right?

[disarming_prince]

[Ravus nods and returns to his seat. Of course he does. He is quite content with this.]

Shall I order a wine to go with a starter?

[looking_sharp]

[Rude nods.]

Alright then. Perhaps we should find a table.

[burning_youth]

Depending on the kindness of others. I am more of a person who cooks than one that lets others cook.

[silent_sacrifice]

I can see that the wait was more than worth it.

[As for if he tried anything yet, he gestures toward the glass of red wine.]

Yes. I have. I started with only a house red. Not as impressive as one might want, but it serves.

[dead_tongue]

Yeah, I gathered that. But you've got skills.

[legacy_blade]

Oh yeah, I have one of those.

[That doesn't mean they're all that useful to him. He does smile though.]

But it's so confusing.

[burning_youth]

[He chuckles and shakes his head. Yeah, he does, but he can't explain that.]

I try my best most days.

[envious_shadow]

It does.

[He settles himself down as well and smiles. This was considerate. And with a menu in hand, he's immediately flipping to the desserts.]

Shall we start with something sweet?

[biactually]

Teddy's fingers are warm, and Nick's own cheeks redden at the feel of them. He looks at Teddy, but shifts back to the phone, quickly.

"That would be good. I didn't have anything like that. It took me a while to figure out I wasn't straight. And I had help from friends. Something like queer comics would be meaningful."

[dead_tongue]

Mmm. I'm intrigued.

[phoenixawakened]

[Joshua's face slightly reddened at hearing what Rhy was asking.]

My brother said that getting out and meeting new people would be beneficial. So I agreed, but I didn't know that he meant a date.

[He then turned his blue eyes to Rhy's face with the slightest hint of mirth on his face and challenge in his tone.]

When did I say that I wasn't excited? Or are you speaking for yourself?

[fatedsacrifice]

Noctis lowered his head as he smiled at the words he heard. But then he heard about the house wine. "Well, we'll see what else they've got."

He paused.

"Mind if I sit down?"

[heavenlyhonour]

[Okay so that was a no? But he let it go and nodded.]

I'm alright with it. Couldn't hurt to try a new place, right?

[orangewayfinder]

[Terra could only smile as Jasper approved and wanted to eat dessert first. Well he could go along with that too.]

Sure, we can do that.


[And while he was sure he wouldn't find Aqua's Galactic pound cake, he started looking for something similar. Strawberry shortcake sounded good. still, he should ask or something. So he waited a few minutes and then looked up over the top of his menu.]

What looks good to you?

[heartofalion]

[Leon nodded with a sigh.]

Where do you wanna sit?

[sonicstriker]

"Would it be rude to ask what your home is like? I haven't traveled much."

And she likes seeing the other woman smile and hearing her talk.
