Blind Date Meme

~~I feel vaguely bad posting this since we've had a few other memes over the last few days but. I wanna spam the hell out of everyone. .___.~~

In honour of the fact that it's Valentine's tomorrow in my corner of the world, I bring you the Blind Date Meme!

Somehow, someway, your character has agreed to a blind date (or several). Maybe they were coerced into it, maybe they don't actually mind the idea, maybe it's just Stacy messing with everyone's heads again, but they're here now. And at the very least, it shouldn't be boring for them.

♥ Make a comment for your character, you can outline a mini-setting if you want. (Think along the lines of the 'Waking up in bed' meme we had a little while back.)

♥ Other characters comment to that as the other half of the blind date!

♥ SPAM HAPPENS.

♥ ~~My inbox dies horribly~~ PROFIT!*

* 'PROFIT' may not apply if participants' idea of profit is anything other than large amounts of spam. Offer void outside the internets.

[ It's hard to beat the satisfaction of flattering someone. It really is. She can't seem to swallow fast enough to answer him, though. ]

Really!? We could!?

Affirmative! An old friend of mine once taught me how to safely take a person diving. We could see the coral reefs if you wanted to.

[He tilts his head, leaning over in concern.]

You're not choking, are you?

Not chokin', no worry.

[ It's all sounding too good to be true. She gives him a suspicious glance, though her eyes are still laughing and excited. ]

Ain't just pullin' my leg, are ya?

[He looks vaguely hurt, but doesn't really mean it---joking, he's learning too.]

Why would I do that? I'm honestly telling the truth. If we have the opportunity to meet again near the ocean, I'll take you diving.

[He stands and offers his hand] Would you like to shake on it?

Would you rather that or knowing my intentions from the get go? I mean, I get points for honesty, right?

Since you were so honest with your intentions, I suppose I owe you the same.

No.

Right, guess I earned that.

So.

Anything I can do to change your mind?

Heey, sandwiches!

[He looks enormously pleased by the thought of sandwiches, and takes one quickly.]

Oh, it's been awhile. Thank ye ever so much.

[He nods at her statement about the park, although he doesn't respond right away. Mostly it's because he's busily engrossed in making the sandwich disappear. After a moment he swallows and sighs happily.]

It is peaceful, isn't it? It's nice to be outdoors, too.

[He snags a second sandwich, unrepentantly. She did say help himself, after all. He gets a piece of fruit for good measure, but seems to be ignoring the wine.]

Do you like to think up outdoor stuff often?

[She laughs at that.]

I'm glad you're enjoying them.

[Now that Jamie's had first choice, Ahava helps herself to a couple of sandwiches as well and an apple.]

It is nice out here, and I miss being able to go to places like this. As big as Stacy is, its still hard to forget you're on a ship unless you go into the city or the sensoriums. It makes me want to at least try and feel fresh air on my face.

[He does look a little bit sheepish as she laughs, but after a moment, his face breaks out in a smile and he chuckles.]

Aye, well. They're good sandwiches.

[The second one he actually does eat much slower, now that he's not in immediate danger of having his stomach rumble and ruin the mood.]

It wouldna be so bad on Stacy if everything didna pulse all the time, but ye have a point. Even in the city or the sensoriums, it's still...different, I guess.

[He pauses for a moment, then looks thoughtful.]

Although, ye do have a lot to explore, which helps. Otherwise I think I'd be verra bored by now.

I'm sure he would too.

[stretches and stands]

Well, I should probably get going. Thanks for the date.

[Have a peck on the cheek, Brainy.]

It was fun.

You're wel-

[Goddamit, Lyle, he was using that brain and you had to go and seize it up.

He'll just sit here a bit with a stunned look on his face while you leave.]

Exploring definitely helps. But I'd be careful about letting Stacy hear you're bored. Next thing you know she'll have come up with something else to make us all run around panicking in an effort to keep things interesting.

[It's meant to be a joke, but it also sounds like Ahava wouldn't put it past the ship. She finishes off her own sandwich and stretches.]

You know, it's such a nice day, I think we can skip to dessert, don't you?

[Without further ado she produces a cream cake from the basket]

I hope you're not allergic or anything?

Alright, then...

[ She stands up herself, and gives his hand a good shake. ]

I don't think there's a thing in the 'Verse I'd like more'n that.

Great! So I'll see you then.

[He smiles one more time, because seriously, it's hard not to around this woman.]

Do you know your way back?

Definitely.

[ She likes it when people smile. It makes her feel like she's done a good deed. ]

Think I can find it, yeah.

[ Her own smile might be a bit coy. ] Thanks again, Billy. One of the best dates I been on.

You're welcome! It's not difficult at all to have an enjoyable day with someone like you.

[Well...wait, at the end of a date, his mama always taught him to...yes. He leaned over and brushed a fleeting kiss against her cheek.]

Quite the flatterer, ain't ya?

[ His mama taught him well. Kaylee gives him a very satisfied grin and heads semi-awkwardly back up the hill. ]

[He shakes his head and shrugs] I'm sick of being alone. At least dead, I won't have to worry about that.

Sometimes I think it's part of the package. Get your life screwed over as well as your DNA. Two for one deal.

[He steals back the bottle and takes a hefty gulp]

But you're drunker than I thought if you're serious about this. [He slings his arm around Bobby's shoulders] You're not that alone after all.

[Bobby couldn't help leaning into Jamie, taking the bottle back and gulping down a bit more]

So what if I am drunk? And I am alone. No one wants me. I'm a giant ice cube.

You're not one right now. [Yeah, that was a bad attempt at humour, but he's also drunk]

And you're not alone. You've got friends and stuff. Rest of the X-Men will turn up too. Hell, they live through everything else. 'Sides I know a lot about being alone. 'S like my major. Or something.

[For a moment, it doesn't seem that Jamie realizes that was supposed to be a joke.]

Well, depending on what she had us running around and doing, it could be...ohhhhh. I see.

[He quickly smiles, pretending he completely understood all along. When the cream cake is produced, his eyes widen and he shakes his head very vigorously. No, he's not allergic.]

Is that...cream cake?

[Ahava manages to not laugh at Jamie's initial confusion, but she does smile as though she finds the entire mix-up endearing.]

Yes, with fresh strawberries.

[That's added almost teasingly.]

So, can I interest you in a slice?

[Really, you had him with the cake. But the strawberries are an extra nice touch.]

Oh yes, please.

[He's even more enthusiastic about the idea than he was with the sandwiches - if that's possible. After a moment, he does seem to realize that he's maybe a little too enthusiastic, and looks at Ahava a little sheepishly.]

Ye must think I'm daft, being this excited about food.
