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.

[Ahava is relaxing in a park on a blanket spread out under a tree. There's a basket of (presumably) food close by and she's reading a book while she waits.]

[Terry is sitting at a small round table in a nightclub. He's chosen the table furthest from the dance floor. As he sits there, waiting, he looks a bit confused. He isn't sure what to do in a club - it's been a long time since he's gone on a date and didn't almost fall asleep standing up.]

[brainy-bot.livejournal.com]

[He has no idea how he came to be here, or why he's even staying. Just that he's kind of... sitting in a cafe. Fidgeting a little and not touching the steaming mug of cocoa sitting in front of him.]

....this is ridiculous. [Maybe he can sneak away before anyone arrives?]

[morphitudinous]

Why did I agree to this? Dates are usually characterized by mutual interest in the involved parties, but when the arrangement is set this way there's an increased risk of an unpleasant experience.

I've never been inclined to enjoy games of chance.

[Billy is waiting at the coast of a seaside cove, resigned to his fate and hoping for the best.]

I wonder if anyone will answer?

((please delete my massive fail above ;;-.-))

[Samus is a bar that may or may not be on the higher level of shadiness as far as bars come. She's just sort of hiding out, wondering how the hell she even ended up here]

[callmeotterpop.livejournal.com]

[Bobby's sitting on a beach, staring out at the sunset. He's got a small set up next to him, nothing special, just some sandwiches and maybe a bottle of wine.]

[There's a city view, the whole place lit up with Christmas lights and freshly fallen snow. On this roof top, the highest in the city or so it seems, is a nice set up. A small table for two, two full plates of food which are covered of course, and a chilling bottle of wine. Jason's standing near the edge of the building, watching the city.]

*mun going to hell now, but couldn't resist*

Hey stranger, you alone here?

[demon-alessa.livejournal.com]

[For once, the demon is by herself, staying away from most. She's somewhere, in a swamp, the settings a little rainy, moisture in the air.]

"This is so preposterous. No one is going to come to these setting. It's why I chose them in the first place."

OMG <3

[callmeotterpop.livejournal.com]

[Looks to see, and shrugs a bit]

Seems I've been stood up.

[carbon-copy-man.livejournal.com]

Hello. Looking for some company?

[Kazami rests his chin on the handlebars of his motorcycle, watching the clouds drift by. He's at the base of a mountain, he figured that he could impress his date with a view, and use the ride up to figure out why the hell he agreed to it.]

♥!

[carbon-copy-man.livejournal.com]

Well isn't that a shame? [Sits down and sliiiiiides over]

Why would someone stand you up?

[callmeotterpop.livejournal.com]

Who knows. [eyes for a moment before shrugging and grabbing the bottle]

Might as well open this. Want some?

[gogopowersuit.livejournal.com]

Not particularly.

[But if it was opposite day, that would be an invitation! So pretend it's opposite day and take a seat]

[carbon-copy-man.livejournal.com]

Might as well! [Big smile!]

I'd love some.

[carbon-copy-man.livejournal.com]

[He'd do that even if it wasn't opposite day! You won't get rid of him that easy, Samus.]

At the risk of sounding cliché, what's a girl like you doing in a place like this?

[callmeotterpop.livejournal.com]

[He smiles back and opens it, just drinking from the bottle then handing it over]

So what brings you out here anyways? Get rejected or something?

[carbon-copy-man.livejournal.com]

Hmm? [Takes a swig and hands it back.]

Oh, no. I was in the area and saw you on your own, so I thought I'd stop by and see if I could help out at all.

[notsaintkaiser.livejournal.com]

[Vivio's busy swinging on a swing around a playground. She has no idea why she's here or, even more, who'd spend time with her like that...]

[kaya-waterwave.livejournal.com]

[Katara: Yes, I'm taken. REALLY?]

[enter-aeneas.livejournal.com]

[There's an odd look on Aeneas's face as he waits, curled up in a cushy chair with a polished visor and a bowl of...something. It's difficult to tell, but whatever it is it smells like heaven. The alien is also giving off an odd scent of his own, which is reminiscent of sugar water and crushed apples.

He's very nervous.]

[Dustin is sitting in the corner booth of a small diner, dressed casually but with clean, ironed clothes that do better justice for his emaciated frame than the plantsuits. His thick, dark brown hair has been recently washed, combed as well as physically possible into neater spikes. On a related note, Dustin's also clean-shaven—albeit with as strong a five-o’clock shadow as if he'd never messed with his facial hair in the first place.

He's ordered a bottle of vintage wine, which remains uncorked for now, for the scruffy man is busy scouting out the bar near the front. If his date doesn't show—which evidence suggests she won't—then it'd be a good idea to find some other lucky woman to share lunch with now rather than later. There's a cute blond in a business suit, absently nursing a decorative beverage while gossiping with the bartender...]

What exactly about a "girl like me" makes my being here odd?

Lyle is waiting for his date while watching a game of 3D UltraChess. He's mentally categorizing the strategies involved while sipping some fruvian iced tea.

Whoever shows up is going to have to fight massive amounts of dorkiness for his attention.
