Blind Date Meme

[feelnothinatall.livejournal.com]

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.

Kaylee? Nice picnic you've got there.



Waitin' for a friend?

[wearsagun.livejournal.com]

[voiceofserenity.livejournal.com]

Sounds like a plan. Take it you know your way around it pretty well, then?

[ She likes that look as much as she likes the idea. ] I'd like that a lot~

[voiceofserenity.livejournal.com]

[ A pause.

...

Yeah, Mal, she's laughing. ]

S'posin' I'm waitin' for you, Cap'n.

[A very confused draconian steps through the door, holding a note in his hand, and looks around. Who the hell wanted to meet with him, and why?]

[wearsagun.livejournal.com]

Hello...

[wearsagun.livejournal.com]

[morphitudinous]

Not this particular beach, but I've lived near one for most of my life. I used to have pages of tidal charts.

[He scoops up some sand and runs it through his fingers as he walks, humming with contentment]

My waverunner's waiting at the dock, just past the beachgrass. Come on!

[He picks up the pace a little, grinning wickedly. Any more excitement, and he'd be grabbing her hand and running along.]

[brainy-bot.livejournal.com]

.......

[Oh grife, he'll just sort of stare at her for a second or two in confusion and panic]

...is there something I can help you with?

[voiceofserenity.livejournal.com]

Must be nice, havin' a place like this to go whenever.

[ She's not sure she knows what a waverunner is, but his excitement is contagious. Her own pace picks up. ]

That like a boat, then?

[am-alwaysfree.livejournal.com]

What was that you said, Kaylee? Sounded like you said you were waitin' for me.

[wearsagun.livejournal.com]

Hello, I think I was supposed to meet you here.

[voiceofserenity.livejournal.com]

[ Even if she hadn't been waiting for him, the look on his face is just too priceless to let go. ]

Must've been, if you're the one't showed up. Nobody told you to meet me up here, did they?

[wearsagun.livejournal.com]

This says I'm supposed to meet someone named Brainiac 5.

[morphitudinous]

It was. We used to relax in places like these on the normal weekends, but now we're all in the same boat---if you'll pardon the unfortunate pun.

[Yay, they're getting there! She can see it now as they approach the dock.]

They both enable transport over water, but they're more similar to motorcycles operating on water if you know what those are. With their engines running, they move faster than boats.

[am-alwaysfree.livejournal.com]

Uh, I got a note sayin' to meet someone, but I didn't think I was gonna see you. Kind of a nice surprise, though.

[voiceofserenity.livejournal.com]

Well, that'd be right, then.

[ Oh, she will. A grin, and she pats the other side of the blanket, and opens up the basket. ]

Go ahead 'n take a seat, have somethin' decent for your belly.

[voiceofserenity.livejournal.com]

Naw, it's good. Guess I'm fortunate enough to have Serenity on board with us. I ever need to relax, my hammock in the engine room's right there.

[ And that. Looks like a whole lot of fun. ]

Like an ATV, then, for the water? She looks like quite the little ride.

[governorkang]

[...huh. He smiles back, head tilting to one side slightly.]

Ah, hello, ma'am. I... wasn't told the reason for this meeting.

[brainy-bot.livejournal.com]

...I'm Brainiac 5.

[Self Note: Never allow Lyle to set him up on a date again.]

[morphitudinous]

Installing hammocks near the laboratories might be a good idea, actually. I'll talk to the others when we get back---better that they get some sleep while waiting for their projects to finish setting.

[He picks up a flotation vest and tosses her one, smiling widely.]

Exactly! But you won't see these views from an ATV. I customized this one.

[Of course, the mechanic has to get his hands all over everything. He runs a hand over his ride.]

[am-alwaysfree.livejournal.com]

Now that's somethin' I can definitely live with.



This better not be more of that slop they call food.

[wearsagun.livejournal.com]

I believe this is meant to be a date.

[voiceofserenity.livejournal.com]

Relax, I cooked it up special this mornin'.

[ And out of the basket comes the food. ]

If you wanna hand me the plates next to ya?

[wearsagun.livejournal.com]

I see...

I'm Kate Beckett.



So...



How long have you been on the ship?
