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!

"Cheers," she agrees, lifting the mug and carefully sipping. Her eyes go wide and then she takes another sip.

Clearly she has no idea that she now has a whipped cream mustache.

"This is wonderful!"

[sonicstriker]

Oh, gosh, she's...precious. Tifa knows what it feels like to be stared at, and she blushes when she catchers herself looking too long, hastily looking at her hot chocolate instead.

"I'm definitely a fan. Are you pretty new to town then?"

[kree_soldieress]

"Quite new. I have had cause to visit due to the presence of my sister," Lauri-Ell says with a smile. "She has encouraged me to come to know more Humans and human cultures as well. And this chocolate, I would like to take some home."

IT is a delight.

"These tastes are so creamy and wonderful."

[sonicstriker]

"Well, that settles one thing. I'll get you some mix to send back with you." She's glad she didn't pick something ahead of time; it's nice to get someone something they like.

"Are you and your sister close then?"

[kree_soldieress]

Oh, was that true? Lauri-Ell is a bit excited about that. She would very much enjoy having this once again.

"We met recently, and have been attempting our best to ensure we come to know each other as we should."

[sonicstriker]

"Oh, wow." Tifa was 99.5% sure she did not have a secret sibling out there, but if she did, she'd do anything in her power to get to know them.

"That sounds so wonderful to have found out! I'm glad you're getting that chance."

[kree_soldieress]

"We are both happy too," Lauri-Ell says with a grin. This was the most wonderful thing to think about. All the things she is learning has been a delight.

"And learning this world has been wonderful. There are things here, people here, who make me smile."

[sonicstriker]

"Would it be rude to ask what your home is like? I haven't traveled much."

And she likes seeing the other woman smile and hearing her talk.

[kree_soldieress]

Of course it would not. She smiles and takes another draw on the cocoa.

"Kree cities remind me of this place a little. But bigger. They can cover whole worlds. But our power comes from the ground in the form of heat, and from our star, and of course from carefully controlled nuclear reactions. Our buildings tower and are made of glass windows and they are beautiful too. But there are less growing things if we do not specifically allow for them."

[sonicstriker]

"Wow, a whole world of city?"

She's not sure...she likes that. But she isn't going to be rude. Which means she isn't going to ask how the power works, because that sounds... a bit like Mako, but not quite.

"Was your planet not growing things first?" Maybe they came there with technology? People talked about that for the moon.

[kree_soldieress]

"Yes," Lauri-Ell says. "We had many garden planets, for food and other purposes. But I do not like that."

No, cities that can have green spaces are much better.

"We have not had as much on growing things on Hala in many millennia. Space became a premium after tens of thousands of years of space travel."
