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!

"Yeah," Teddy says as he tucks his phone back away. "Though I don't think I want to become the CEO of a sports gear company, or an olympic athlete at that."

Still likes seeing some people in obvious places like that.

"No. I don't think I do, either," Nick admits. "But we can go whatever direction we want. It's the fact the we have that kind of representation that matters."

He sees Teddy puts away his phone, and Nick does the same.

"So, you draw, you like tea, and animals, what kind of food do you favor?"

[hybrid_prince]

"Pizza," Teddy admits with zero hesitation. "I know it's cliche, but my family is from New York originally, and getting a slice was just... It was right, you know? It's not as good since I left, but I've learned to live with that disappointment. I've found there are some other things, like curry or mongolian bbq that also really hit the spot."

Nick tilts his head a little, "To be fair, pizza is pretty good. If I ever go to New York, I'll have to try it."

A beat, "Curry's pretty good. Maybe we could try a curry place, together? I mean, if you want a second date, that is?"

[hybrid_prince]

"You really will. The secret is that you need to find some hole-in-the-wall place. It'll be better. And if you can't fold the pizza in half like a paper airplane, then it's nto right."

A curry place? There were some here? He'd be excited.

"That's definitely something I can see potential in."

wrap for now? revisit later?

[biactually]

"It's that thin?" No he hadn't realized that was a thing.

It's not the curry place Nick is excited about, he smiles at the idea Teddy hasn't refused the idea of a second date.

"Then, I'll have to get in touch with you."

agreed

[hybrid_prince]

"Yeah. But for now, let's have our drinks, pet some cats, and talk sports?"

No reason to rush this moment. It feels good. Hell, it feels right.
