BLIND DATE MEEEEEEEEEEEEEME

[jesustapdancingchrist]

The Blind Date meme. Pretty self-explanatory. No matter how awkward and unexpected they might be, there is always something exciting about them. Who is your company for the evening going to be? Will it be a person of your innermost dreams or someone you absolutely can't stand? And most importantly...
 

How are you going to handle it?

What do:
1. Post with your character! They're now in the middle of a blind date.
2. Comment to each other! When you do that...
3. Go to Random.org and roll a single die!

1.

First date

-- You've never been out on a date before, so someone's decided to give you a helping hand.
2.

On the rebound

-- You're recovering from a painful breakup, but your friends/family think they found a great person for you anyway.
3.

Not strangers at all

-- Someone thought you didn't know your date. Turns out you know them from somewhere.
4.

Hideously awkward

-- Hey wait, that's your ex/boss/doctor/distant family member! Or, even worse, it's that person you absolutely despise. This will go well!
5.

Existing partner

-- You two are just acting like strangers to spice up your love life.
6.

Future spouse

-- Unfortunately, you have to have an arranged marriage. Fortunately, you get to meet that special someone for a date beforehand. How will the night go?
7. ...or, instead of rolling, come up with your own scenario!

4. Play out the date. This meme can be completely fluffy, smutty, or hilarious. If you don't want smut, you can put that in your subject. It doesn't even have to be romantic.

WHO'S THAT MAN IN THE THREE PIECE SUIT?

[calamarried]

[Honestly, I don't get how this won't end up hilariously awkward.

Let's just assume for the sake of simplicity that this is some weird AU where he never met his wife, or whatever]

[Dusk was going to destroy the world if he could get a hold of the moron who had written the Royal Ship Law.

It specifically stated, during one of his marathons of brushing up with Prince and Princess law that there was a ancient rule that said that any Prince and Princess must have a bride or husband, as selected by the family of said Prince or Princess. Solaris and Artemis obviously didn't count, or had found their own way around it, his own sister had caught her prince, it was up to the mighty task of his mom and dad to arrange a marriage.

And then they uttered the worst thing: You'll like her, she's perfect. She's a family friend.

Horror. To be engaged to a family friend he probably didn't know for the longest time, his nose having been buried in books for years.

And then THIS happened.

Dusk awkwardly adjusted his neckline, swallowing. Fluttershy?! His brain supplemented.]

1, going with a human AU in college

[twotailedgenius]

[Though Tails was pretty friendly and outgoing, and had a good number of friends, a few of said friends thought he needed more out of life. Like actually going out on a date with a girl. Tails, unfortunately, wasn't all that interested in doing so, so he generally declined their offers to help him - he would rather just hang out with friends.

That all changed one day when he was basically forced into a blind date - told by his friends that someone was going to be waiting for him at the cafe in the city. All of them were going to the same college, and apparently the girl did too - she was just someone he had never met before except maybe in passing. Doubtful that he would even recognize her.

So he made his way to the cafe, opening the door and looking around. He wore an orange T-Shirt and blue jeans, and his blonde hair was pretty easy to spot among others. He was told that the girl in question would have pink hair, and probably be super easy to find in the cafe itself.

He just hoped he wouldn't make a fool out of himself in front of her. He wasn't sure he was ready for something like this.]

3 (playing from 20s au)

[bigsoftie]

[It wasn't a really good idea for LH to get roped into this matchmaking business, but the urging of his friends pushed him into the venture.

So with his best shirt and suspender pants, the mountain of a man found himself ushered into the dining venue (not the best places, dim and more a potential speakeasy). He came over to the predetermined table to find...Dante.

Of course. LH stands like a deer in headlights, looking down at the fellow member of his gang.]

...you are sitting at my table.

[whenthedevilscry]

Or is it you are sitting at my table?

(Granted, Dante didn't want anyone in the gang to see he was here, so he's playing up the usual act something fierce. He even went and got dressed for the occasion: a proper suit and tie, white gloves, neat looking amulet around his neck...he's dressed to impress.

Which isn't exactly how he wanted the boys to see him.)

[bigsoftie]

...both.

[Was that a loaded question? He thinks it's a loaded question. Anyway, LH canters up the the table before his hands rest on the back of the chair, standing awkwardly in place.]

Why are you here?

[whenthedevilscry]

(It was totally a loaded question. And one meant to mask Dante's surprise, so he's left shuffling in place a tiny bit.)

Why do you think? Thought it might be nice to meet a stranger and see where it goes.

[bigsoftie]

...I am not a stranger.

[Awkward pause.]

Someone has made a mistake.

[whenthedevilscry]

Guessing they didn't know.

(The two are usually seen together, but the person probably didn't know that.)

You looking for something similar?

[bigsoftie]

Maybe.

They were not clear...other than they were tall.

[whenthedevilscry]

Well, I am pretty tall.

(Decently so, at least.)

Guess we could play this out 'til the end of the night.

[bigsoftie]

You would not find that strange?

[Wait he answered his own question. Dante is strange.]

Better than an actual date.

[He didn't really look forward to that.]

[whenthedevilscry]

(Dante is very strange. How anyone can tolerate his inanity is a mystery.

Except Black, anyway. He just kicks Dante around until he shuts up.)

So...you the type for long walks on the beach?

[bigsoftie]

I have a good stride, I do not tire easily.

[Leatherhead that's not what he meant.]

[whenthedevilscry]

(It's not, so naturally, Dante's gonna take that as a yes.)

Yeah, I can dig it, too. The ocean, the sand, the hotties...place like that has a lot to offer.

[bigsoftie]

I do like to swim in the ocean...the freedom it brings.

[whenthedevilscry]

You swim a lot? You kinda got that swimmer body, now that I think about it.

[bigsoftie]

Yes...when I can.

[He nervously shifts weight.]

Do you swim?

[whenthedevilscry]

Not too often. I know how, but it's been a while. It's pretty cool though, being kinda weightless.

[bigsoftie]

[He remains quiet for a tick.]


...do you want to go swimming?

[whenthedevilscry]

...Actually? Yeah, let's go swimming. No life guards at this hour, but beaches have a night life all their own.

[bigsoftie]

Right now? I am not afraid of the water.

If you are willing, then so am I.

[whenthedevilscry]

Yeah, why not? Suits aren't really my thing, anyway.

[bigsoftie]

Nor are they mine.

Do you have a place in mind?

[whenthedevilscry]

The beach, of course! It's not a long drive from here. Come on; we'll take my car.

(Slapping his nametag down on the table, Dante makes for the exit, expecting LH to follow behind.)

[bigsoftie]

[Yep, he's following along. Beats eating at a stuffy dinner. Thank goodness for friends with cars.]

[whenthedevilscry]

(Stuffy dinners really aren't Dante's thing, anyway. Give him a pizza pie and he'll be just fine As long as there's no olives

They arrive in Dante's convertible and he he hops over the door to park himself in the driver's seat and turn on the engine.)

[bigsoftie]

[He takes a seat in Dante's car, a rare honor as he gently runs one hand over the seats and door.]

I...I have never been in a car before.
