RED FLAGS meme

Sure, you may look like a total catch, but what's the catch? Maybe everything isn't what it seems.

how to play
- forget what you think you know about memes.
- forget the traditional subject line. no prefs. no character info.
- what do you put there instead? verbalize the red flag(s) that should, in a just world, come attached to your characters. be honest. be brutal.
- with this forbidden knowledge in mind, the rest of bakerstreet has to decide whether they wouldn't touch that with a ten-foot pole or if they'd throw caution to the wind and still go for it.

Those are the most fun.

[knightbynight]

And in a very particular way the safest.

[manfromclay]

Because you know what you're getting into.

[knightbynight]

Because they can stop me, if they need to.

[manfromclay]

You're the kind of guy who needs to be stopped?

[knightbynight]

I'm the kind of guy who, if I need to be stopped, would be a problem to stop.

...Not sex. Period.

[manfromclay]

That's a humble way to say you're just as dangerous as the people you like to date.

[knightbynight]

It wasn't even humble. It's why dating dangerous people is both important - and more fun.

[manfromclay]

I agree on the fun part. Can't see myself becoming one of those people who needs to be stopped.

[knightbynight]

Then you either have no imagination or no skills. Everyone has potential to need to be stopped. [ Or he's paranoid.]

[manfromclay]

I've been accused of the lack of imagination one before.

[knightbynight]

By who?

[manfromclay]

The men I work with. One of them in particular.

[knightbynight]

Are you in a leadership position over the one?

[manfromclay]

Technically speaking.

[knightbynight]

Elaborate on technically.

[manfromclay]

Yeah? Why should I?

[knightbynight]

Because if it's very technical then my theory doesn't work. If it's more literal, then it's likely accurate to some degree

[manfromclay]

Are you going to share that theory? You seem like the type to keep it to yourself.

[knightbynight]

If you are in any position of authority or responsibility you are constrained by additional factors this person is not.

[manfromclay]

I am constrained by thinking logically and reasonably. That is not his main concern in life.
