The Date Meme


THE DATE MEME

Here's how it works!

1. Comment to this post with your character. List the character's name, series, and any preferences you might have in the subject.
2. Using the RNG, pick from one of each of the two categories below. (Or if you'd rather pick them yourself, feel free to do that instead!)
3. The two of you are now on a date! The first list is where you took your date. The second list is your current relationship.
4. Have fun!


Locations

1. Restaurant. What better way to spend some romantic time than over food? Maybe you're at the fancy restaurant in town, or maybe you just couldn't afford anything nice, so you're at the nearest diner. Or maybe somewhere in between?

2. Games. The two of you are playing a game somewhere! You could be at a bowling alley, an arcade, a miniature golf course...the possibilities here are countless.

3. The Park. Of course, Mother Nature can provide an excellent atmosphere for romantic bonding! Perhaps you're taking a leisurely stroll through the lush grounds, or maybe you've laid out a blanket somewhere so the two of you could have a picnic.

4. Movie Theater. Or maybe the two of you are sitting next to each other in a dark room, sharing a bucket of popcorn while you're watching the latest film. Did you opt for a horror flick to keep your significant other latched to your arm -- or for you to latch to theirs -- or perhaps something they enjoy, like a sappy romance film or a cheesy action flick? Or maybe you compromised and went to see a sweet romantic comedy.

5. Skating. It's always nice to go skating, right? Are you at a roller skating rink, or did you find a frozen lake and decide to go ice skating? Which one of you needs help (you know at least one of you does)?

6. Beach. Ahh, the beach! Go ahead and set up camp wherever you like! Or if you don't watn to lay down and catch a tan, you can go swimming, or take a walk along the shore! Or if you don't want getting sand on your feet or in your shoes, go hit up the boardwalk!

7. Sunday Drive. Sometimes you don't really have a destination in mind. Sometimes you just want to drive and enjoy the scenery. Well, here's your chance to do that!

8. Amusement Park. There's plenty to do here! Take your date on the Ferris wheel, or the tunnel of love...or something more thrilling, like a roller coaster! Walk around with cotton candy!

9. Dance/Ball. School dance? Prom? Business gala? Whatever it is, you're there, and you've got a date.

10. Wild Card. Your choice! Feel free to pick something that's not here.



Relationships

1. Blind Date. You had no idea who you were going out with until you arrived! Was it a complete stranger, or did it turn out to be someone you knew?

2. First Date. You finally worked up the courage to ask this person out, and they agreed! How awkward is this going to end up?

3. Steady. You guys have been going out for a while. This is just another one of many dates.

4. Proposing. This isn't just any date for you. You've brought your significant other out somewhere to propose to them! Make sure to warm them up for the main event!

5. Married. You're not just dating, you're a married couple! Whether this is a special occasion or you just decided to break from your everyday life, the two of you are using this as an opportunity to remind each other just how much you love one another.

6. Wild Card. Your choice! Feel free to pick something that's not here.

One and the same. [He seems almost more annoyed about her, really.]

She doesn't want to seem to take a hint.

I'm sorry... *He squeezes him a little tighter, trying to make him feel better.* I wish there was something I can-

*And that's when it comes to him.*

The books and television shows...they aren't wrong, are they? Is it frowned on here to pursue someone who's already involved with another even if they aren't married?

*He found it strange, whatever happened to the (to him) very elementary knowledge that love can and often does extend to more than one person, but if that's the way this society is maybe they can use it to their advantage.*

[personal profile] lucitan 2014-01-07 08:04 am (UTC)(link)
It's frowned on, sure. Not like everyone cares about that though, considering it's not like a rule or anything.

[Though maybe it counts as an unwritten one. Lucifel would say it depends entirely upon the person though.]

[personal profile] warriorscribe 2014-01-07 08:25 am (UTC)(link)
But does she know about us?

*There's no way to tell if she cares otherwise.*

[personal profile] lucitan 2014-01-07 08:29 am (UTC)(link)
I didn't know we were being so subtle about it that we needed to go around stating we're together.

[Seriously.

Also, Lucifel is giving him a look here.

warriorscribe: (Quite nice considering the circumstances)

[personal profile] warriorscribe 2014-01-07 08:34 am (UTC)(link)
*Right. Lucifel can just keep looking back at him because Enoch is going to take that opportunity to steal a kiss.*

But don't you only see her when you're alone?

[personal profile] lucitan 2014-01-07 08:39 am (UTC)(link)
Doesn't mean she hasn't seen us together. There are windows, you know.

[They already know they have one neighbor who likes to look out at people from behind her curtain, so.

And he accepts the kiss, but looks a little annoyed maybe.
]

... Well. [Sigh.]

Let's focus on these problems when we get back. No reason to ruin the vacation by bringing stress with us. [Read; Trying to not let the mood get too ruined here.]
warriorscribe: (Seed of turmoil)

[personal profile] warriorscribe 2014-01-07 08:58 am (UTC)(link)
*Yeah, he sees that and doesn't try that again, instead resting his face against his shoulder. He sways a little, more just a shift in weight with Lucifel in his arms than actually rocking him or anything like that.*

All right. I'm sorry...I was trying to help. What do you want to do?

[personal profile] lucitan 2014-01-18 03:05 am (UTC)(link)
Well, the point was to relax, wasn't it?[The whole Enoch wanting to help thing gets ignored. He knows, he just... Doesn't find it particularly helpful, is all. He is however not (completely) tactless, so he's not going to voice this.

But... Relaxing. That is what vacations are for. Most of the time. Well. For them it is, anyway. So they may as well attempt that.
]

So we may as well do just that. Spend a few hours laying on the couch or something.

[Counts as relaxing.] Unless you wanted to go out? [His tone of voice suggests going out may end up being a 'Enoch going out and Lucifel watching from the window or in the best case, the open door' sort of thing.]
warriorscribe: (No problem.  Everything's fine.)

[personal profile] warriorscribe 2014-01-18 04:10 am (UTC)(link)
*Enoch looks up to smile at him and shake his head.* The couch sounds fine to me.

*And he turns to guide Lucifel there himself with an arm still around him. Hopefully, he's prepared for that to mean "cuddling on the couch for a few hours" since that seems to be something Enoch wants to do.*

[personal profile] lucitan 2014-01-20 12:57 am (UTC)(link)
[He figured it'd end up like that. Today Lucifel is the one who decides to use Enoch as a pillow though, draping himself over him, instead of having it be the other way around.

At least like this Lucifel can get up if the other dozes off or something.

*And Enoch is more than happy to allow this reversal, gently rubbing his back while his other arm is wrapped around his waist.

While it isn't anything they couldn't have done at home, there's something in just knowing it's different that makes it so. He leans in to kiss the top of Lucifel's head with a content sigh and a murmur:* I love you.
