I'm in deranged marriage


THE ARRANGED MARRIAGE MEME



How to Play
I. Leave a comment with your character's name, canon, and any preferences you might have. You can also write a prompt to set the scene if you wish.
II. When replying, roll for a scenario, come up with your own, or respond to what the other person has already come up with.
III. Tag around and have fun!

Prompts
I. Matchmaker, Matchmaker - You're a commoner, and the matchmaker - whether it be your parents or an actual village matchmaker - has had their say. It's time to meet your spouse-to-be.
II. Do Your Duty - This isn't a normal arranged marriage because your station calls for it. There's some purpose behind it: A political alliance, perhaps, or something else. You don't have much choice but to go through with it, so you might as well meet the other person.
III. Getting to Know You - So the engagement is official, and you've met the other person, but you still don't know them very well. Maybe you've decided to take them out, or maybe it's a chaperoned meeting. But it's good to spend time with someone you'll be spending the rest of your life with, right?
IV. Breaking it Off - Before your engagement, you were with someone else. You're still with someone else, but it's time to change that. Like it or not, you're going to have to break up with your significant other. In this prompt, you're interacting not with your potential bride or groom, but with someone else.
V. Runaway - That's it. You can't take this. There's no way you're going to go through with this - it's just not for you. You're all set to flee.
VI. One Last Chance - You're all set up for an arranged marriage, but you've got lingering regrets. Maybe there's an old flame you're just not willing to let go of yet. In this prompt, you're interacting not with your potential bride or groom, but with someone else.
VII. The Big Day - Do you hear the wedding bells ringing? Everyone else does. It's time to walk down the aisle and make this official.
VIII. Happily Ever After - Surprisingly, the arranged marriage worked out rather well. Live out your days in wedded bliss and laugh about the fact that you would have chosen each other even if someone else hadn't chosen for you.
IX. Not-So-Happy Ending - Yeah, no. This marriage just isn't working, but you can't break it off. There's no wedded bliss here - just conflict. But you can put up with it. Can't you?
X. Wild Card - The "other" option! Use your imagination and come up with something!
