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.

[He smirks.]

Tell me about it. Of course I'm limited by what my technology can achieve out in the field, but the medical facilities on the Legion's cruisers are generally very up to date.

It was more along the lines of ... Brainy, after fighting that mage I glow in the dark, and now I can't sleep!

I guess I should count myself pretty lucky that I haven't been eaten by space whales yet.

Thankfully I don't tend to get problems with that. Though there was the issue with Matter Eater Lad and the Emerald Eye of Ekron...

[pause]

Matter Eater Lad?

Tenzil Kem? From Bismoll?

Oh, Tenzil. He's our cook. I can't imagine him wanting to join the Legion. Chuck, sure, if he had powers.

Really? He applied for try-outs and passed with good results. And Bouncing Boy was in the Legion since before I joined. In fact, Chuck was team leader at one point.

I suppose it's just one of those reality things?

Chuck would probably make a good leader. He has a good head on his shoulders.

I guess so. I'd still like to know what happened to me in your universe. I'd hate to think I'm still working as a spy for the UP.

He does. His leadership during a crisis was what won him the role as well.

...I wonder about that as well. We did have someone try out for the Legion some years ago with invisibility powers, but they weren't named Lyle Norg.

[Lyle tries to hide his expression here by looking away.]

What was his name?

Jacques Foccart, I believe. Someone you know?

[It's such a good thing he was prepared for that and looking away. Though now he's having idle thoughts of going to B5's universe and stealing his Jacques.]

[Lyle's answer is additionally delayed by the idea that Jacques didn't pass try-outs. Does their Legion have no taste?]

Hm? Oh, no.

You know, we should probably be talking about something other than work.

[Luckily for Lyle, Brainy's not so great on social skills and interprets that as boredom with the conversation.]

To be honest, I'm not sure what you're supposed to be talking about in a situation such as this. You probably have more experience there than I do.

You usually flirt.

[Brainy doesn't know how to do that, does he?]

And you talk about what you like to do, see if you have anything in common, things like that.

....that's not--

I'm not exactly very... knowledgeable on the topic...

[No, he reeeeally doesn't]

Maybe we should try the other options instead?

All right. Do you like long, romantic walks on the beach and people with a sense of humor?

I've never really tried the first, and I suppose the second is fine if it's not obnoxious...

I tend to put my work first, however.

[Why is Lyle not surprised that Brainy missed the joke?]

What do you do besides work, then?

...Besides work?

[Give him a minute to think, Lyle]

...............I suppose personal inventions and projects don't count?

[Not surprised--not that he's much better.]

Projects, maybe. But I was talking about things outside the lab.

.......not like patrols?

[Yeah, this isn't easy by any means]

...I may have done some sightseeing with Superman once...

Oh? ~~And did you sightsee anything but Superman?~~

The problem with talking about your work is I'd want to see it.

Ah, that is a problem, yes. But I'm not sure that there's much I could show you that would be so different from my counterpart's work.

Unfortunately sightseeing normally ends up with us under attack as well.

I don't know about that. You are different people.

What's the saying ... "Once a cop, you're a cop no matter where you go"?

...I'm not a cop. But I get the sentiment.

I suppose there might be differences in our work, but the end result would be the same.

Unless you want to see the cloaking belts I created? [And he's smirking at you, Lyle]

I have no idea why he didn't pass. Maybe they do indeed lack taste?

Maybe he was invisible too long and they forgot he was there

Not the same IK but...

I was the first one to translate the interlac! ...I'm such a dork

I think you mean 'really awesome' XD

I just couldn't be in the dark about a Lyle joke. Socute Lyle

YES. Though I don't see this version as being that shy. XD

Well, if 3boot Lyle can be shy ... maybe he was just spying on them the entire time

3boot Brainy would have made him too. :|

Again, this is why Lyle needs to teach 3boot Lyle to stick up for himself. And bother Brainy more

The entire 3boot Legion needs that lesson. Apparently Cos was the only one standing up to him.

Standing up with goats, which is the best kind of standing up.

Lyle would approve of that method, right?
