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!

If it comes up, you'll be the first to know.

[Pietro smiles and nods at that. It's good to hear.]

So. May I ask who arranged this on your side of things? I cannot imagine it was my sister that meddled with all of it on her own

[raisedtohunt]

Met your sister a few days ago, actually. She's an interesting woman. [And with what he's seen around town, suspect #1 on his list for the cause. ]

Figured it wouldn't hurt to at least meet you.

[quick_sass]

[Pietro laughs. Wow, what an understatement. Yes, his sister was definitely 'interesting'.]

Wanda is often accused of being interesting. As am I.

[raisedtohunt]

In the same way as your sister or a different way?

[quick_sass]

Quite different. She is... weird. I am merely fast. Faster than you would be able to understand. Which is really something to be impressed by. I can wait while you are impressed.

[raisedtohunt]

"I can imagine a lot more than you might realize." It's light enough but he's seen more than his share of 'fast' things.

"So you like running?"

[quick_sass]

Does he like running. Pietro laughs.

"You could say that running is what I specialize in. I am good at staying on my toes."

[raisedtohunt]

"It's a useful skill to have." He sets his drink down.

[quick_sass]

"I could teach you. How to stay on your toes," he says with a smile. Because of course he's smiling.

[raisedtohunt]

"I'm kind of a master of that, if we're being honest." It's one of the reasons he's still alive, after all.

[quick_sass]

Oh? Was he?

"Not as much as I am I should think," he says with a smile right back. He will prove it.

[raisedtohunt]

"Depends on the situation, I'd think."

[quick_sass]

"Well, we could start with some dancing."

After all, he is here to entertain the man.
