the next level

Enemies to friends. Friends to lovers. Nothing tests the strength of our relationships and our individual character quite like times of transition, and that goes double when that change involves another person. Sometimes, growing closer to someone means making sacrifices, adjusting our worldview, and compromising certain ideals for the sake of accommodating something new in our lives. Transition also means leaving behind a comfortable status quo, which is more challenging for some than for others.

When it goes well, however... we can gain friends, life partners, and valued allies.

So, how about it? Let's take things to the next level.

Prompts within! )

UTTERLY SMITTEN meme


Because sometimes, you want to play out goofy, absolutely adorable adoration no matter your character.

You don't have a crush. You're not in love. But you wish you had either of those things, because they're the lesser of all evils. Instead, you have it oh so bad. You're smitten, kitten. Why, every little thing this special person does is magic! Their looks, their personality, their smile - or lack thereof - are the most beautiful you've ever seen. And maybe they're even nice to you when you totally don't deserve it! Whether your acquaintances would describe you as "soft-hearted" or "hard-ass pain in my ass," there's hardly been one as taken as you. Just looking at them makes you weak at the knees, and you think those butterflies in your stomach may be staging a revolt.

Damn it, it's disgusting.

No matter if you're a grown-ass adult or a school kid, you'll feel...uhm, like a school kid. Of course, you probably shouldn't pull any pigtails. Instead, put those conflicting emotions to good use. Admire your object of affection from afar. Hang out with them as much as you can. Be awkward as only you can. Enjoy being in their presence or being close to them because afhhdhflfh they're so pretty and so aaaaahh you're ensnared. Be super nice to them. Dote on them because they're so darn cute. Fulfilling their every whim will get you in good!

Or be a terrible tsundere, as that's all some of you assholes know how to do. Eventually, you'll get over your denial and realize, grizzled warrior-king or megalomaniacal god or bitchy brat you are, you're feeling flushed.

HOW TO PLAY
Comment with your character, preference, and what role you'd like to play.
Cutesy, emotional, kind, or young characters might get smitten easily. But part of the fun is seeing completely stoic, inappropriate, or horrible characters get silly quickened heart beats. Of course, said stoic, inappropriate, or horrible characters getting crushed on is just as funny.
RNG for a prompt or just go nuts.


POSITION
Smitten: Be cool, be cool - oh god they're so precious you're going to vomit.
Smitten...On?: You're the one who's cast a spell, willing or unwittingly.


SITUATION

Not Together...Yet: Is senpai going to notice you?
Together: Aren't you so lucky to have such an amazing boyfriend or girlfriend or friendfriend?
Never: A forbidden love, you can never be together, GET THIS ANGST SHIT OUT OF HERE.

ROMANTIC ASSUMPTIONS


You know what they say about assumptions...

RULES
• Comment with your character and basic info.
• With only appearance or rudimentary knowledge to go off of, other characters make romantic assumptions about yours. Do they have a partner? What kind of person is their type? What are they like in bed? Are they a cheater? A heartbreaker? Single? A virgin?
• Wrong answers only. j/k, j/k. Unless...

The Traveling Meme


You're on your way from point A to point B, and you've chosen one of the many forms of communal conveyance to do so! Let's see what your trip looks like today.


  1. Train: The Orient Express if you're feeling fancy, your standard intercity line if you're not, but no matter how humble the train there's always a little bit of romance to the rail.
  2. Plane: It may be the type of travel we least look forward to. Go ahead and stuff your character in coach--unless they're one of the blessed few who can afford knee room in business class.
  3. Ship: The heyday of the grand passenger liners, a tall ship (preferably with a star to steer her by), or the ferry.
  4. Bus: Whether it's a school bus, a Greyhound, or your regular commuter ride... we know you're not wearing the seatbelt like you're supposed to.
  5. Stagecoach: Some old-timey fun!
  6. Airship: Listen, JRPGs had it right when they decided these should be a normal thing.
  7. Spaceship: For that sci-fi feel! To boldly get Ubered where no one has Ubered before.


Scenarios

  1. I brought a book for a REASON: You're just trying to make this journey in peace and quiet but for the person in the seat next to you....
  2. Stalled: Well, now you're really not there yet, because your mode of transport has stopped working--thrown a wheel or can't get off the tarmac or lost the breeze. Better figure out something to do in the meantime.
  3. Stand and deliver! Dammit, it's bandits, or robbers, or some other kind of ne'er do well--or maybe you're the one pulling the heist.
  4. Running: Not literally, obviously, but you're trying to get away from something bad. Let's hope it's not catching up to you a few seats down....
  5. Disaster! This isn't just inconvenient, it's catastrophic! Good thing you're here to save the day, right? ...Right?
  6. Actually having a nice time: It's just pleasant to sit and look out windows while someone else does the steering, you know?

MORE THAN JUST A JOB


It's only business, nothing personal...at least, that's how it started. You were pegged as the right one for a job that involves this person; your task could be positive, such as protecting them with their consent or without it, guiding them from point a to point b, and the like - or, as seedier transactions tend to go, it could be negative. You have to take them back to a place they really don't want to return to, you have to be a jailor, or you even have to be their assassin. At the very least, helping or hurting, you'll be compensated generously (by money or, you know, by not being killed off). And that was all that mattered.

Until they mattered.

They could have shown you something you never knew existed in the world or in yourself. They could have done any number of things, yet they've won you and your feelings over. Your priorities just may shift because of this, but will their view of you do the same as soon as they learn why you were around them in the first place? For your own gain? Will they be able to forgive you?

Even if they can, will they be able to see you the way you see them?

  • Comment with your character, preferences, role (the one with the job or the one who is the job), etc.
  • Reply to others.
  • Thread.
