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.

Sometimes. The hard part is finding a good opponent. You?

Hmm. It's not really my kind of game. I like games where I can hide the pieces and my opponent doesn't know we're playing.

So, you'd want to play something like that old Earth game Battleship, but with someone not knowing what they were playing? That doesn't seem very effective.

I'm not familiar with that one. Maybe something like Cry Wolf.

I don't think I know that one. How does it work?

People are randomly assigned as either sheep or wolves. The sheep try to vote out a wolf every day, but the wolves eat a sheep every night. So if you're a sheep, you try to uncover the wolves and safe sheep without getting yourself eaten. And if you're a wolf, you try not to get caught, and try not to eat your own if you don't know who they are.

Usually there are more sheep than wolves and the sheep get clues to narrow down the wolves. But there are a lot of variations.

That... actually sounds like fun. And I'm beginning to see why you like the game as well.

But if a large group of people are all in the one area playing, wouldn't the wolves get caught during the 'eating' phase?

No, they send in their votes by text. There's a lot of secret messages handed around in this game.

It's fun when you play it with a lot of people you know. Sometimes it's really easy to tell they're lying because you know them, but some people automatically assume their friends are too guileless to pull off being wolves when they're not.

I also had a friend who would run around telling people he was a wolf just to see how they'd react.

...unfortunately I can think of a few people in the Legion who'd fit that descriptor. Was it anyone I know?

No. He only did it because I dared him, anyway. Still got himself voted out first round. People figured that even if he was a sheep, he wasn't taking the game seriously enough to be any help.

It's a pity we can't play something like that here though. It might be something to do.

Not happy with the date?

No, it's more what I can do when we don't have one of these--

............

....date?!

........you mean as friends...

This is a Valentine's date. Valetine's isn't really a just friends holiday.

...but it can be.

So you're saying you didn't bring me chocolates?

What? Well, no. But.

...did you actually want some?

[He's finished his tea, so]

Some hot chocolate might be nice.

Alright. There's a cafe nearby? If you don't mind that is.

All right.

[pause]

Flowers are traditional too.

...[smirking] What kind?

Red roses are traditional, but I like stargazer lilies.

[Yes, he just gave you something harder to find. Why? Because you're smirking.]

[Smirk to pout in record time!]

...I suppose you don't mind if I leave you for a moment to go and find these lilies?

That's fine. Don't forget the cocoa.

[Lyle turns back to the chess to hide his smirk. Badly.]

[Brainy is muttering to himself as he leaves, and he doesn't care if you can hear him, Lyle.]

[And after a while he's back and offering a cup of cocoa on a tray with twin lilies. And some chocolates, just in case.]

*innocent* I never said he was evil.

you asked for it, sadfacer

Thought you said he wasn't evil? XD

This is mischevious. And maybe a little evil.

Messing with Brainys = his hobby?

Usually they're messing with him. But this is the crack comm

Note to self: Mess with Lyle more.

So meeeeean. Brainy is buying now.

He always ends up buying >[

Anything to make people stop calling it a date

Too late~ And Lyle called it that first

Lyle is a terrible, terrible boy.

I'm sure he has some redeemable features?

The ability to hide what a terrible boy he is?

That ability he's failing to use right now, you mean?

innocent I never said he was evil.
