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!

"If it is publicly traded then your best bet may in fact just be setting up a holding company to allow you to buy shares until you have a suitable amount to stage a take over," Genesis offers with a shrug. She could even start with a contract with another person if she needs a front person to hide her interest until it's too late.

"I have no intention of involving myself with them when it does not cause a stir. Which I manage quite well most days."

"That's clever," Cheryl remarks, a smirk growing on her face. "And devious. Yes. I don't think Mumsy and Dad would see that coming."

"That's wise. If I can get myself away from mine, that's my next plan of attack."

"One is taught to be ruthless in my field of expertise," Genesis says with a smiles and a tilt of his head.

Whether that is corporate life, war, or academia, he doesn't specify.

Cheryl's mind automatically goes to corporate life. After all, her parents are just as ruthless. Blossoms are expected to be ruthless. Forged in fire.

"I think this attempt a match has backfired. And I would prefer to keep you in good spirits as a friend," Cheryl assures him. "My parents wouldn't know what to expect." She could learn how to better thwart them with his help.

"That sounds agreeable," he says with a laugh. "My family cannot fathom what my own desires might be of course."

And they did not always run in line with women. Which was no fault of hers.

"I am glad for an alliance to annoy unsuitable parents though."

"Mayhaps this match worked out, but not for them. Not as they planned," Cheryl revisits her own words with a grin.

"Isn't that the best fun?" Genesis asks with a smile. "Come, let us make an entrance and a scene."
