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!

[Leon set down his glass of water after taking a sip.]

Thanks. We're working on it and things like that just take time to repair.

[looking_sharp]

A lot of things take time. Sometimes more than we anticipate.

[Not that Rude's ever really built anything in his life.]

[heartofalion]

[Leon nodded.]

True. There's been a lot of unforeseen delays but that's what happens.

[looking_sharp]

Could you give me an example of one? That you're dealing with?

[Maybe Rude can quietly clear it up for him.]

[heartofalion]

[He sighed.]

Almost had half the bailey collapse the other day. Front gate still needs a ton of work too.

[looking_sharp]

That would be frustrating.

[If only Rude knew any way to help with that.]

[heartofalion]

[He shrugged.]

We'll get it fixed. But I'll bet you have that sort of attitude doing what you do.

[looking_sharp]

Sort of attitude? I'm not sure I understand what you mean.

[heartofalion]

{He shook his head.]

Fixing things I mean, getting everything sorted out.

[looking_sharp]

Ah. Yes. It is inherently necessary in my line of work.

[So much more than Leon could know. In a way Rude's job description could be 'professional problem fixer'.]

[heartofalion]

[There was a smirk.]

Kinda figured I was on the right track.

[looking_sharp]

[That smirk is actually quite interesting in his book, and he smiles back at it. This guy is a bit charming, isn't he?]

You've got to wow people with a look like that.

[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.]

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