Blind Date meme

[semimeme]

 

The Blind Date meme. Pretty self-explanatory. No matter how awkward and unexpected they might be, there is always something exciting about them. Who is your company for the evening going to be? Will it be a person of your innermost dreams or someone you absolutely can't stand? And most importantly...
 

How are you going to handle it?

What do:
1. Post with your character! They're now in the middle of a blind date.
2. Comment to each other! When you do that...
3. Go to Random.org and roll a single die!

1. 

First date

 -- You've never been out on a date before, so someone's decided to give you a helping hand.
2. 

On the rebound

 -- You're recovering from a painful breakup, but your friends/family think they found a great person for you anyway.
3. 

Not strangers at all

 -- Someone thought you didn't know your date. Turns out you know them from somewhere.
4. 

Hideously awkward

 -- Hey wait, that's your ex/boss/doctor/distant family member! Or, even worse, it's that person you absolutely despise. This will go well!
5. 

Existing partner

 -- You two are just acting like strangers to spice up your love life.
6. 

Future spouse

 -- Unfortunately, you have to have an arranged marriage. Fortunately, you get to meet that special someone for a date beforehand. How will the night go?
7. ...or, instead of rolling, come up with your own scenario!

4. Play out the date. This meme can be completely fluffy, smutty, or hilarious. If you don't want smut, you can put that in your subject. It doesn't even have to be romantic.

So that was that, they could both acknowledge the truth of it; they had done and would do what was necessary to survive. Their list of things in common was getting uncomfortably long.

"You can't get jealous, but I think you can get curious." Jealousy would imply feelings and attachment, or ownership. None of those were things she considered he'd waste his energy on. She had finally managed to push his buttons. She leaned across the table, her voice dropping softer. "Isn't that interesting?"

It's only uncomfortable to her. He's well aware of his stellar characteristics. If she feels a little dirtier for having a similar list, she should at least make a footnote that at least she's survived enough to feel dirty.

"I think I can do both." He was a god among the necromongers, did he ever tell you that? Pretty sure he can multitask bad boyfriend behavior. He sits back, letting his shoulders hit the back of the chair hard. "I think I like being 'interesting'." Tell him more, Fry. Flatter him.

Why is it Riddick had that innate ability to make her feel dirty and justified at the same time? She thought she knew and waved over the bottle as a follow up to her glass.

"I don't see you as the jealous type." She clucked her tongue and for a long moment just stared at him. A few more scars than she remembered, he looked more worn. "Always picked you as the guy who took what he wanted. Especially at first, when Johns told me about you. He made it a hell of a story."

But that wasn't all of him was it? He wasn't an animal, he just tuned into the animal inside. "You have this fucked up code, your own morality or rules." She eased back and shook her head. "I don't know if anyone could ever understand it but you." But it was there, for better or worse, it made Riddick unpredictable.
