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!

[Mark laughs and wraps his arms around Iggy's body. Gets his hands onto the other guy's to try and stabilize it.]

We've got it.

[dead_tongue]

Do we?

[They do. It's not going to be a great vase-cup-thing, but it might just be functional. Iggy is just enjoying how fun it is.

Also: hot guy touching him. Bonus.]

[atypical_echo]

[Who needs great? Who is going to get it their first time?]

I think we do. It's not all wobbly anymore.

[dead_tongue]

True! Okay, uhm, maybe make the top narrower...?

[He glances back.]

This is fun!

[atypical_echo]

And I would think that the top should be... nice and rounded.

[Oh god he's blushing at his own line.]

It's lots of fun.

[dead_tongue]

[Iggy looks sultry and amused.]

I like all kinds of tops. For the record.

[atypical_echo]

[Oh god. Mark laughs, face still read.]

You're just like that aren't you? Like, over the top?

[dead_tongue]

Is that too extra?

[A genuine question; Iggy is never actually sure if he's being way, way too gay for people.]

[atypical_echo]

No. It's nice to just see someone who just... doesn't see a point in hiding himself.

[dead_tongue]

Well. Why would I? Life is short.

[atypical_echo]

[There's that. Mark is quiet for a moment. He knows better than most.]

Because sometimes people make life harder if you're you.

[dead_tongue]

Yeah. They can.

[He slows the pottery wheel and glances back with a smile.]

I think we're done?

[atypical_echo]

If you think so, yeah.

[He grins and moves his hands free.]

Who is keeping the creation?

[dead_tongue]

Uhm... you! So you'll remember me.

[atypical_echo]

I don't think I could forget you after this.
