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!

How many? Genesis smiles because, you know...

"I do not believe there is a specific number that I could provide for you."

Huh? [ For a moment, it looks like he’s doing complicated math in his head. Because yeah, he didn’t expect that. There might even be a brief moment where he wondered why Nida would want to hold his hand, but also… maybe it would be cool to just hold his hand… ]

O-oh, yeah. If you, um… think that would be worth winning for.

I’m glad that you think so, and that maybe it will help till then.

"Dark of heart." Joshua echoed softly with an equally soft sigh. Yes, he'd seen plenty of that firsthand.

There was a nod as he seemed to try and shake off the memories.

"There are many people such as that. It would seem no matter which world they reside in."

He didn't want to appear too eager, so he nodded. He personally couldn't wait to tell Aqua all about this. Then it might be safe to show his enthusiasm, right? Still, Terra had to let something out. "I'll look forward to it." Besides, learning more stuff would get Aqua to come with him no doubt. Ven would be curious too so it would work in getting everyone on board for this new venture.

Trying not to fidget with nervousness was hard, so Terra tried to focus on things in the room so that he could accurately describe them later. There was hope in his eyes as he listened to Waver's reasoning and he was up as soon as the other had decided and finished speaking.

"Berry crumble, I'm on it."

And he got moving in case the mage changed his mind.

Dion looked at Ravus and wondered at the words spoken. He could definitely relate to what was said, but this wasn't supposed to be a time of sad tales if his dragoons were to be believed.

"Then it sounds as if my assistance is required."

"That is unfortunately true. I would not suggest it is our predisposition to be like that, but there are some who do not think of others and it shows."

Rhy tried to think of others whenever he could.

“Alright, then. Thank you, Terra.” Waver decided to let Terra take care of it this time, he had gone to get everything else and the man seemed really concerned about actually going to get the dessert, so he decided it would probably be for the best to do so. Unfortunately, that meant he was left to sit awkwardly at the table, wondering just how much of a disaster this all was even if there had been something productive about the evening at least.

Letting out a small sigh, he swirled the drink in front of him before taking a sip and trying to focus on anything but those thoughts, instead letting his eyes roam the variety of video game stations in the bar collection.

"Your people would be paid."

He's ruining the date, he knows it. But he has found potential good for his people.

[Nida smiles, because that was a really cute reaction.]

You're sure it would be okay? Because that's a really big possible prize for me.

He paused. There wasn't any need to inform the pup that they'd had lunch together and have him make a big deal out of nothing.

"I don't see why not."

"Well, I'm not the sort that impresses people so it's okay if he wouldn't. I understand who I am."

Which was someone not that impressive.

Joshua nodded, recalling the first words he'd spoken to Clive after not seeing him in what felt and seemed like forever. At that point, he'd tearfully uttered an apology.

Lifting his head up to look at Rhy with a sigh, he nodded solemnly. "Yes, that has been the case many times that I've seen. But I believe you are not one of them from what little I've seen."

"That is kind of you to say," Rhy says with a soft smile. "I try to live up to such things. To the faith that others might put in me."

Yeah, he supposes it's like that.

"Nah, it really doesn't. If you know me, I'm not impressive."

[ Yeah, his face is getting more red. Glancing away hurriedly as he definitely tries to hide that, trying to look like the ever-professional student double checking his list. ]

I mean, I guess, yeah? You have to actually win first though, you um, know?

[ You have him stumbling over his words here. Good job. ]

And what do you get if you win?

[He's smiling because hey, he doesn't mind losing if he can get the guy to want the same thing.]

[ Yeah, he hadn’t thought of this particular point to the contest. It would be weird to say he wanted the same thing, though, right? Because then it wasn’t really a contest, it just made the challenge pointless. He seems to be mulling this over in his head for a moment or two before he finally flustered a bit as he walked towards the shelves. ]

I-I’ll tell you if I win, yeah? Come on, we’ve got books to find!

[ He has realized, not for the first time, that he’s entirely out of his depth with this whole thing. Not the books or the studying or the theorizing over Nida’s GF summons, of course… Just with Nida in general. ]

[ He’s not entirely sure what to make of his new life here, or what to expect from it. But he hopes it wont bore Mark too much.

Joshua smiled as he picked up his drink. "And that is what makes a leader as such." He had circumvented using the man's true title out loud but had opted to use a simpler form. Clive then came to his mind. His brother had done that very thing so many times, doing what people had placed their faith in him to do and accomplish. And had been doing it undoubtedly countless more before he came back into Clive's life.

He had regretted how much time they had missed together, time they couldn't regain.

"That sounds like your own opinion of yourself."

He was waiting here.
