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!

I am sorry for what the RNG has done

[First things first. Board Game Cafes, where have you BEEN all of his life? Like, how is this not to coolest thing ever? Just getting to sit back and meet strangers and play Catan? Coolest ever. And no one really judges him when he whips out the sitar to play. Okay, so they do, but LESS!

And now here he was, supposed to meet someone? Axel had just smiled and said the guy was really looking forward to meeting. Wasn't that great? No way this could possibly go wrong, right? And there he is. 'Guy showing off a lot of chest' Axel had said. Demyx smiles and smooths back his hair a bit before approaching.]

Hey! Hopefully I didn't keep you waiting!

[Board Game Café? Not his first choice, but it's where he was sent and he, surprisingly, doesn't have anything better to do at the moment. He wasn't one to turn down a night of taking the piss with the lads, though, not when he was Lord Commander, and not now so it was just as good as any place.

Of course, this was a place that served coffee, not wine, but it was also paid for so he wasn't complaining.

Cid, however, had been told he was meeting someone, not who or even a description, but he had been told they'd know him. Uncomfortable, that, but he could roll with it.

the lad who approached, though? Not at all what he was expecting.]

Not too long. [He leans back and pulls a cigarillo from his breast pocket, because tonight's supposed to be about "relaxing and seeing where the evening takes you" and he hadn't seen any sort of posting banning it.] You're the lad I'm to spend the evening with, then? [He raises not a lighter, but his index finger and thumb to the end of the cigarillo as he pinched it between his teeth, a spark of electricity and the end lit up.] Thought you'd be taller.

[Lad? Demyx pouts at that. He's probably older than this guy. Maybe. If he remembered it. Which he didn't of course. But still, what the hell man?

And then taller?]

Uh... I'm as tall as I need to be!

[thunderwarden]

I'm sure you are.

[Might as well get this show on the road, as it were.]

You know this game?

[aquatic_sitar]

Oh, Catan? Totally. We have it at home but people are not the most excited to play it with me? Which is so frustrating because it's pretty cool!
