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!

[Nida's happy to take the new strip of paper. He's having a hard time with the books themselves, so it's easier just to collect them and hope Waver can distill something for him.]

Alright. Ready to get these. Should I come seeking you out if it takes a while?

[atypical_echo]

It really does. Probably confusion. Or religion. A lot come from religion.

[bornofwords]

Hm… That’s a good point. I might have to look this up later.

[ Not that he needs to return to his late-night study sessions, but he was curious by nature, given his origins. ]

But I suppose for now I’ll rephrase my earlier statement to say that I understand what you meant, hm?

[ask_whydunit]

[ The question gets an absentminded tilt of his head as he took his own list to get ready for a search, before nodding in agreement. ]

Yeah, that’s probably a good idea. [ Otherwise he might worry something happened, or that the plan was in danger. ] And don’t worry if you can’t find some of them. I can help with those if it comes to it.

[atypical_echo]

Yeah, that sounds pretty fair. I understand that you understand what I mean. We're good.

[bornofwords]

We are, promise!

I suppose I should probably let you get back to your evening, and I can let you know once I have a schedule we can compare.

[seed_pilot]

Well see, when you go and be reasonable like that I feel like it's my honorable requirement to ensure that I find them.

[atypical_echo]

That sounds like a plan. I'm excited to see you again.

[phoenixawakened]

Joshua smiled very briefly.

"I knew plenty of good men, but we had encountered those that were otherwise."

The King of Waloed came to mind.

[heavenlyhonour]

Angeal smiled and took a sip of his water. "If that guy is a hero, I have a friend that would probably love to meet him."

[forsanbreque]

Dion smiled. "Kindness isn't a weakness nor is it charity. If people wish to assist you out of the goodness of their hearts, then that is nobility."

[fatedsacrifice]

"A poem..sorry." Noctis apologized at the look he received. He hadn't realized that he'd misstepped so badly. Well here he was.

"What do you love about it so much?"

Maybe the slight change in topic would help.

[wisecracking_shot]

Really? Clint laughs.

"Would your friend want to meet me too then?"

[disarming_prince]

No, it is not. It is...

"Pride must matter too. My people have so little left, because of my actions. I owe them some measure of pride."

[unbreakable_king]

"One can always find those who are dark of heart, and often fair of face," Rhy laments with a shake of his head. "People who wish to see the world shaped to their own will. For their own gains."

[silent_sacrifice]

"The allure. The mystery. The pain and hope of it. It is about three friends, connected and sundered by fate."

[bornofwords]

Me too, to see you again, I mean. Take care until then, though, okay?

[ He really needs to get his life in order now, doesn’t here? Hm… It would be an interesting few days, to say the least. ]

[ask_whydunit]

Huh? I mean, uh… [ An awkward little tilt of his head. Most people don’t consider him particularly reasonable, so that’s a new one. Not that he’s incapable of it, it’s just sometimes he digs his heels in on things. ] Just seems better than to leave you wandering around for ages just to find something when you aren’t familiar with the place.

[ Was rude, right? Waver likes wandering and getting lost here, but it’s not for everyone. ]

[seed_pilot]

That's a really good point.

[Nida smiles at him.]

Race for books? If I get half as many as you in the same period of time, I win?

[atypical_echo]

I will try. I'm not always the best at taking care of myself.

[bornofwords]

[ Ah… That’s a familiar confession, if only because he knows he’s guilty of it, too. ]

It’s not always easy to, but I hope that you will.
Maybe consider our next meeting a reason to, I won’t be happy if I find that you’ve neglected yourself.

[ask_whydunit]

[ Waver raised a brow at that, ]

You want to make it a contest? [ Well, at least it’s not the kind he could end up in trouble over given his lacking ability… So sure, he decides, why not? ] What do you get if you win?

[seed_pilot]

[Nida smiles, widely. Yeah, that's just how it goes.]

Maybe... holding hands for a moment?

[atypical_echo]

That is a great motivator actually.

[fatedsacrifice]

Well didn't that sound familiar, except to add a fourth person. Noctis sighed with a nod.

"How many times have you read it?"
