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!

No guarantee that it will be interesting to you,but I'll try and make it that.

Mako blue eyes looked at the server when he heard the person huff and then almost stalked away. However, Angeal only smiled. "Guess we're not his favourite people tonight."

[phoenixawakened]

"I see. That would appear to be a good strategy then, to keep yourself in their good graces while they continue to serve you." This new custom or ritual did make sense in his mind now that Rhy had been kind enough to explain it.

Joshua smiled with a small nod. He'd keep this in the back of his mind the next time that he needed to be served.

[forsanbreque]

Dion shook his head. "I've heard next to nothing in regards to that nation." It was an honest answer although he did wonder if that answer would vex his companion. "Why do you ask?"

[heartofalion]

[He had a comeback for that, he really did. But instead he gave a small satisfied smile.]

Not really interested in wowing other people.

[Just this guy.]

[fatedsacrifice]

This guy had charm for days or weeks. He'd definitely rival Ignis although that would rankle the advisor to hear that. Maybe he should totally do it later, whenever that would be. Right now he had quite the companion to pay attention to.

"Eating definitely sounds good."

It was all he could focus on.

[faithfulsupport]

Ignis smiled and reached for his full glass. "Well I will appreciate that." There were a few things he had an ego regarding, and the cooking that he did was one of his Achilles' heels. However if this man supped at his table and had a full belly after enjoying the food, Ignis would be happy.

[orangewayfinder]

Terra had to laugh. It seemed this man had been determined to win and that was actually kind of comforting. The man knew what he wanted and how to get it, this wasn't a problem at all in his book.

"Then we'll see what else you can win at."

[orangewayfinder]

"Alright." Terra nodded with a smile. He really was looking forward to this, and he was more than sure that Aqua and Ven were going to be excited too. Or at least maybe,. Ven. Aqua liked to be able to prove her Master skills too, so maybe she would have to have time to warm up to the idea. Ven would be more than likely to be outwardly gung ho about the idea and the two would have time to go through and train with each other. This of course would bring Aqua to the fray.

He thought that this might be a chance to introduce Waver to his little family. It made him miss Master Eraqus, who he wondered if he would approve of this man. It would be hard to say and of course with the Master gone, there was no way for Terra to find out anything one way or another. He had disappeared along with Master Xehanort after turning into children. It had been endearing, but there was so much he'd wanted to discuss with the man who was like his father.

Thinking on that, Waver piped up about meeting. Well this was about the furthering, not necessarily about anything beyond this date. Terra would clear his schedule and do whatever he needed in order to be able to meet up for another date. But that had yet to be seen. "Whatever works for you." And hopefully he didn't sound too eager. Aqua had tried to whip restraint into him too. However, after hearing about directions he smiled. "I look forward to seeing the place." Fortunately his tongue hadn't betrayed him as he'd wanted to say that he looked forward to seeing Waver again. No, he couldn't do that.

This was nice to hear that dessert wasn't pushed off, although he did have one condition. "You paid for dinner, so it's only fair that I pay for dessert." This was important because he didn't want to seem as if he was just here for the mage to pay for everything. That was rude and disrespectful.

[disarming_prince]

"Ah," Ravus said. Which was of course not a problem but it meant there was more explanations required.

"The terrain is... abnormal there. IT is mountainous, but if one were to look upon the spires and peaks when you were not there, you would be quite concerned that they would be prone to falling at any moment. Exploration and scouting is difficult."

[seed_pilot]

Well then, next time after this, we'll meet with you in work out clothes. Outside of school of course.

[If he was worried about being judged, Nida would find somewhere else to teach him the basics.]

i'm not sure this one is working for me, would letting it go be okay?

[looking_sharp]

[wisecracking_shot]

"I mean, I can't imagine why. We're two attractive men, muscles for days, clearly charmers. We should be his favorite," Clint says. But they had given the guy some trouble so he actually did understand it.

[envious_shadow]

"We shall," he agrees with a smile and summons the server over to relay their desires.

[silent_sacrifice]

Could the advisor really charm like Genesis could? That would be impressive and rather unlikely in his opinions.

"Then we should order," he says with a smile, looking once more at his menu rather than upon Noctis.

[unbreakable_king]

"Yes, but it only goes so far. If you're cruel and rude after that, what cause do they have to be polite? There is no tip hanging in the balance. It is a matter of trust."

But it was something that would get him what he wanted so he stuck with it.

[legacy_blade]

Don't worry, he's on his way to the full belly, carefully fitting food into his mouth whenever he's not saying anything. And he's even polite enough not to talk again until he's swallowed.

"So, what's the thing you like cooking the most?"

[heavenlyhonour]

Angeal laughed self consciously. This guy was only speaking for himself, right? The former First just wasn't the type to consider himself attractive although he knew all about the fangirls for the fanclubs.

"I'm not sure we are, but as long as he brings what we order, it doesn't matter."

[fatedsacrifice]

"Got it."

Flirting aside, Noctis focused on the menu because otherwise he was just going to keep staring at his companion and as Ignis always said 'staring was rude'.

As the king perused the menu, he couldn't help but wonder how this was all going to go.

[ask_whydunit]

The agreement settles some of his concerns, at least concerning the meeting to arrange handing off materials for his friend to look at for potential enrollment. The matter of busy schedules and further dates… Could wait until there was a reason to bring up the subject. For all he knew, Terra might not want another meeting beyond that. If helping him out with furthering his friend’s education ended up the extent of it, well, that was at least something positive. It’s not like he could say anything when he knew his social skills were slightly lacking. “Thank you, I appreciate that. If you want to see more afterwards, I can probably show you around further.” He added absentmindedly, knowing that might be helpful, regardless.

The condition of paying for dessert is met with a small nod. He can’t deny that it was a reasonable request to make. “That does sound fair, so I’ll agree. Did you have thoughts on what you wanted for dessert, though?” He asked, vaguely hoping Terra had an idea of what he wanted. After all, Waver wasn’t really a dessert person, but would endeavor to be for the evening at least. For the sake of not seeming rude or like a bad date, more so than it already had.

[ask_whydunit]

[ Waver mentally notes to see if he has anything that would be suitable for working out in, but offered a nod of agreement. Outside of school would be good. They didn’t need to add to the problem by gaining an audience with this idea. ]

Alright, I think I can work with that. Next time we’ll figure out somewhere else to meet for that.

[ He agreed, before looking up at the imposing building before them. The Clock Tower was, in fact, more than just that. It was a sprawling collection of tall, old buildings that housed the school. The main floors were quiet given it was a Sunday afternoon, with only the odd person traversing the halls for their own reasons. Pulling open the door, he gestured over his shoulder. ]

The library is this way, not too far now.

[bornofwords]

[ Mark would be surprised at what Sigma found interesting, honestly. He really did mean it when he had spent an inordinate amount of time memorizing far more boring things. ]

Then we’ll see how ‘interested or not’ I will be when the time comes. Send me a message when you have time and a musical or two picked out.

[silent_sacrifice]

IT would not be staring. It would be admiring. And that was wntirely different and acceptable. When Genesis finished with thinking through his selections he put the menu down and instead turned his own admiring gaze upon his unexpected date.

[wisecracking_shot]

"Yeah, I guess," Clint sighs, shaking his head. "But it'd be nice to be appreciated from time to time, you know?"

[seed_pilot]

Oh man... I want to climb that.

[It's so cool looking, and Nida just wants to scramble his way up it. Oh well, he knows it isn't really likely. With a sigh he slips in through the door.]

We're going through here all mundane, aren't we?
