THE TAG SOMEONE NEW MEME

How It Works

Sometimes, memes can be awkward. There's always that feeling that, if you don't know the person behind the curtain, you'll be intruding somehow. Don't worry. We've all been there. Still, it's nice to have that little reassurance that hey, it's cool. We're all in this together and we just want to play. That's where this meme comes in! The point here is to play with someone you've never played with before, OR play with a character/canon you're unfamiliar with. The prompts provided include mundane activities, chance meetings, platonic fluff, romance/smut, fighting, and crack. This is pretty much the granddaddy of meme variety, so there should be something for just about everyone. INSTRUCTIONS - Comment with you character(s). In the subject field, put all the info that's relevant + any preferences. - Reply to others. Remember, the goal is to play with new people! - The initial set of prompts is in this post. The subsequent sets are linked GoogleDocs. - Use the RNG to get your prompts. - Have fun!

[breaches]

[ for someone who lives in the same city, it's something of a surprise that finch hasn't seen neal caffrey before this. especially considering caffrey's reputation.

so yes, following caffrey around the city is a go. or at least trying to — finch is beginning to think that he should have gotten his taller, more fit partner to do the following. ]

[wallets]

[Luckily for Neal (and thus not so lucky for Finch), he's pretty good at recognizing when he's being tailed. It's just that usually, you have a glimmer of an idea why said person was tailing you - working for an enemy, or for the fbi (these days much less of an "enemy" so much as why is Peter having Jones tail me), but this time...he wasn't really sure. There were always options, and it wasn't like he didn't still have his fair share of enemies but why now of all times?

Whatever, Caffrey, just keep going. He continues to walk at a calm pace, as if he doesn't know anything, and then ducks into an alley, waiting. Okay, maybe surprising your tail wasn't the greatest idea, and maybe that could lead to violent situations you didn't want to be in, but Neal was really curious.]

[breaches]

[ to be fair, Finch isn't much of a threat — at least not physically. he's already out of breath with following a taller, not-limping person by the time he gets close to the alleyway.

oh dear. has he lost the ex-conman now? Finch looks around, still walking forward, but more slowly. ]

[wallets]

[After Finch passes the alley - or while he is, the timing doesn't have to be precise - Neal walks out to fall in step with him.]

Why were you following me?

[breaches]

[ Finch nearly stops short — hesitates, definitely, before he takes another step. ]

Call it curiosity, Mr. Caffrey.

[ while he calculates how long it'll take for him to contact Reese. ]

[wallets]

[Great, it's always good to start conversations where the other person knows you but not the other way around - not that that was completely unusual, but. at least Finch didn't look like that much of a physical threat, though that didn't mean he didn't have friends that would be.

Meaning this could quickly become one of those really dumb plans you never hear the end of if you're saved from them.]

Curiosity? You've sure got a strange way of satisfying it. Coffee seems like it would be a lot easier.

[breaches]

[ he prefers tea, really, but that's the kind of thing that his partner only learns after a few months of saving lives together.

Finch just looks at Caffrey to give him a once-over. ]

Personal interaction tends to be more effective towards understanding the situation.

Unless you're suggesting that I invite you for a drink, Mr. Caffrey. [ which really wasn't his first choice. ]

[wallets]

How much personal interaction can you really get following someone?

[this is not how he imagined this day going, but, alright.]

Why don't we start with your name?

[breaches]

More personal than interactive, I will admit...

Harold Townshend. [ at the moment. if Caffrey does look it up, all he'll get is the professional profile of a small but established magazine editor. ]

[wallets]

Harold Townshend. [Repetition and then quick word association and voila we'll remember to look this up later.] Great. You know my name, already, so... [right, awkward.] People say a lot of curious things about me, but was there something in specific you wanted that can be answered in a non-following-me-around-town way?

[breaches]

Yes, Mr. Caffrey, I do. [ just a hint of dry humor there. ]

Most things, actually, but I doubt that you're the type inclined to give out answers freely.

[ so... stalking is the next best thing. right? ]

[wallets]

[oh, it's totally the next best thing.]

You haven't tried yet.

[breaches]

[ it's effective! as long as you don't get caught, that is. ]

You didn't deny that you wouldn't answer.

[wallets]

Depends on the question.

[breaches]

Then tell me, Mr. Caffrey, what are you trying to do?

[wallets]

In this very moment? Figure out why I'm being tailed, and then head back to the office.
