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!

[ right. he nods every now and then, trying to grasp onto the names as quick as he can, taking careful measure to remember which goes first, what's most important. it's meticulous work--details have to be remembered, he knows. if he had a pad of paper, he'd be taking notes.

there's a moment of hesitance when Cinna smiles--he has to review everything he's taken note of. Venia, Octavia and Flavius, will work along them when not busy, do what they ask if not busy, if busy, schedule for later. don't doubt the team. all decisions brought to Cinna and finalized.

mmhm. he's got everything; a ghost of a smile appears on Riku's face. ]

Yeah. I've got it.

It'll be overwhelming. But if you're as as good as I've heard, you'll manage.

[He tilts his head.] The prep team are finishing something for me right now, I'll introduce you to them later. If things aren't overwhelming yet, they certainly will be then. [Lightly amused, his prep team is really something-- you'll see.]

Do you have any questions?

[curepotion]

[ he definitely wonders what they're like, hearing Cinna speak about them now. it already sounds daunting, but he isn't a slouch when it comes to hard work. ]

Guess I'll just brace myself.

[ a beat. ]

Not really... maybe just why you need an assistant. You look like you've got everything under control. [ not worried or frantic, and he'd seen that behavior from practically everyone else he'd worked for. ] It's probably a bad idea to question my position, though.

[goldliner]

I might not need another set of hands all the time but when things get going, they get going. I'd hope to hire someone who truly appreciates fashion and mentor them with what I know. But either way there's work experience to be had, which I don't mind handing out.

[ the fact that he got an answer brings a touch of surprise to his face--that ghost of a smile shapes into a real one. ]

Then I won't let you down, as overwhelming as things get.
