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.

Katara and Nura should give out love advice.

"Love is timeless. If you love him, and he loves you, then you two will share a strong bond that no evil or fate can separate."

"When you are sure that you have met the one you want to spend the rest of your life with...someone who surprises you at many turns, and knows you so well, handles each other's ups and downs with a balance...then and there do you commit."

Katara warmed at hearing those words: they were the closest she felt about Aang, and she looked down a little, smiling slightly. "It had seemed to be the most random circumstance, at first. But the more I traveled with him, the more I began to realize it felt like more than that. I'd found him in the iceberg, and I was the first person he saw before he went into a trance after being attacked."

She smiled to herself. "Now I think it was fate, that because we met, our lives would change so much in our travels. And there he was, waiting for me, liking me before I even knew it, even after seeing my more ugly sides. It wasn't long before I realized I*'d fallen in love with him."

Nura smiles. "Fate does have a role to play in love. But I have come to know two types of fate: the fate that is destined, and fate that is unpredictable." She folds her hands in her lap. "It is important to have both."

She laughs. "Love sneaks up on us. It surprises us. For all my precogging, I never once suspected that I would become Querl's wife." There's color to her cheeks. "Happily."

"I agree," Katara said, smiling. "The fate I'm taking about seemed like both too: we never knew if we would be captured the next day, or running for our lives or enjoying where we were that day. Everyday felt new, and a little brighter when I was with him."

She could have gone on and on about his cheerful innocence that shaped into a willingness to help others and maintain balance in the world. She could have told Nura how he would sacrifice himself for the word yet not go so low as to kill: he would do everything to end that cycle. She could tell him how he had the heart of a true warrior and a good friend.

"I'd like to know how it feels, to be that in love," Katara said. Though honestly, she had an idea she already DID, she was just being modest since Aang, again, was not around.

Can't wait!

"You will, Katara. There is no doubt in my mind."

Katara smiled. "Thank you for that. I'm sorry that I'm not the date you would actually want, but you helped me. I'm grateful."
