It's a date!
 |
| Who says that you can’t find love and affection in the multiverse? Whether it’s a blind date, planned date, or you’ve been going out for a while, you can’t stayed cooped up in your room when the world has so much to offer. So, grab your favorite fuck-buddy, or the most darling person to you, and go out to have some fun. The many dimensions have to let you off the hook with their incessant aphrodisiacs to let you enjoy your day, right? Right?? RULES:
1.) Drinks at the Bar – An old classic. You’ve gotten dressed in your favorite heels or your most suave ensemble, and are determined to make some memories over a few glasses of your favorite poison. But be careful you’re not staring into your date’s eyes too much to ignore how much you’re really drinking. If you get too drunk, you might not make it back to your place. 2.) Picnic – Some sandwiches, a decadent dessert, and a bottle of your favorite wine, all placed in a wicker basket and sitting beside you and your date on a gingham blanket. And in the middle of spring, no doubt. The flowers are begging to be picked and woven into someone’s hair, and the crisp, clean lake might provide a chance to skinny-dip. Or, maybe you did something naughty and snuck some extra aphrodisiacs into the potato salad. Make this picnic the best you can. 3.) Cooking for Your Love – There are many fine eateries for you to enjoy. However, you know your cooking skills make the chefs in those restaurants look like they can’t even cook a peanut butter sandwich. Hellbent on making the dinner perfect, you pull out all the stops, and maybe wish to serve it in a cute little maid outfit… or perhaps off your own body. And need I say more when I mention ‘naked aprons’? 4.) Dinner Out – Fondue, buffets, and more. Nothing beats an expensive dinner out, especially with how swanky you’re looking. But… is your date really this content with spending so much money on a third dessert for you, or are they purposely trying to get you fat? Hope force-feeding is your game! 5.) Out to the Movies – Maybe you caught a lucky break and your date agreed to see that romantic comedy you’ve been craving to see. Or maybe you needed a good excuse to binge on soda and popcorn. Your hand is closing in to grasp your date’s, but because you were an idiot who was too busy caught up in Michael Bay explosions, you get a handful of something else. Then again, not always the worst thing, if you don’t make it awkward and just go with it. 6.) Game Night – Twister, strip-poker, or even a sexy version of Clue. It’s time to break out the cards and board games for some friendly competition. Just try not to make bets that you’re not entirely sure you’ll win! 7.) Concert – A guitar solo is blasting in your ears, and the mosh pit got you a bit more pumped up than you had bargained on. Nothing grittier than doing it in an alleyway outside the venue, or in the bathroom. 8.) Under the Stars – Possibly the most romantic thing you’ve done in your life. You and your beloved, lying under the stars, lying on a blanket or the cool grass. If you’re looking to confess your feelings, buddy, now might be the perfect moment. 9.) Lingerie Shopping – Granny panties are out and bustiers and thongs are in! However, you’re going to need a shopping trip to restock your wardrobe. Why not bring a date? 10.) Live-Action Roleplay? – Admit it. You wouldn’t mind it if your special someone dressed up in black spandex like Catwoman, or if your man hid behind a mask. Hey, it doesn’t have to be Halloween to dress up. Just clean up after yourselves in the dressing room once you’re done. Cosplay fans, this is for you. 11.) Body Painting – You don’t need a canvas to have a little fun with some paint. Or maybe you do have canvases lining the floors and walls, and your bodies are the brush. Plenty of naked fun here, even if it is a little slippery. 12.) Take-Home Spa – You have to be one of the sweetest dates ever. Instead of taking your date to the spa, you decide to set one up in your own room! Trade places giving massages, take them next door to the pool room where the sauna and jacuzzi await, or maybe pay some due worship to your partner’s hands and feet. All you need to do is make sure your partner is fully relaxed, and all of the knots are worked out. 13.) Snowstorm – You expected a few inches, and maybe some gentle trickling of snow while you build forts and snowmen, but now you have a full-on blizzard. To make matters worse, now even the heating system is down. Looks like some hot chocolate, a few blankets, and a fireplace will have to do. 14.) Toy Store! – Need to add some spice to the bedroom? Well, try out a few new devices before taking them home. Now the real question is whether to go with the bondage swing, or the ball gag. Maybe both! 15.) In Bed With a Book – Nothing like cuddling in bed for storytime. This is a bit different though. Whatever book you’re reading, it’s nothing for the faint of heart, and definitely not safe for work. Perhaps it’s even embarrassing your significant other. Maybe you want to play out a scene in the book, and have everything you need to make it come to life. Or maybe, you want to see how long your partner can read before you tease them into sweet oblivion. 16.) Blanket Fort! – One of the cutesier options! Every chair, blanket, couch, and surface in your room has been transformed into a fluffy fortress. Just be careful that holding down the fort doesn’t result in tearing it down. 17.) Bubble Bath – First you got down and dirty, and now it’s time to get squeaky clean. Too bad your partner’s too busy playing with that rubber ducky to see you go for the showerhead. 18.) Prom/Dance Date – Semiformals, masquerades, and proms! You’re going to need a dance partner, and the music is getting slower and softer. Or maybe you’re not a fan of ballads and choose to turn the night of dancing into a game of ‘how much can we get away with with my skirt hiked up.’ 19.) Wild Card - We’ve covered quite a few date ideas, but perhaps you want to go for something completely out there, or even extra romantic. Go ahead and weave your own web! originally from TLH's ooc community |

I'm sorry for the delay, just got back from a san francisco trip.
As soon as he realized his thoughts were spiraling into the same destruction it always manages to do, he immediately silences them. Not at all concerned about Barry asking him what was wrong- because he always does-, since he can come up with a clever lie to tell. They were both lying down on the bed, Barry doing whatever it is that he does while Eobard grabs both his glasses and a book from the bedside table. Unfolding it, he rests the glasses in its proper place on his face thus giving the other a quick glance just to see that Barry was well and content. Lastly, he silently cleared his throat and glanced down at the words, doing his nightly reading. )
No worries! I'm a bit of a slow tagger, so I'm patient.
And then there's Dr. Wells. Harrison. Growing up, the man had been Barry's idol. He was everything that Barry loved about science. He was smart, charismatic- if guarded-, and was always on the brink of new, scientific discoveries. Meeting him had always seemed like a pipe dream. Something to think about during rough cases and sleepless nights. But then the dream became reality when lightning struck. Barry got to work alongside his idol every day, helping to keep the city he loves safe. He went from idol to mentor, and then...then he became something more.
He still can't put his finger on what had changed between them. When their relationship had changed from mentor and pupil to something deeper. It feels like a blur between then and now. But here they are, months later and together. Really, genuinely together.
But Harrison is quiet. More quiet than he normally is, and Barry can't help but worry a bit.]
Are you okay?
no subject
Ah. There it was right on schedule. Apparently, he was being addressed. Barry was all so predictable, he couldn't decide if it frustrated him or made him like the child even more. Not entirely sure he wanted to know the answer to his innermost thoughts. Eyes momentarily looked away from the pages of his book and attention now unwaveringly on the younger man next to him, Wells tilted his head down looking past the upper rim of his glasses and giving Barry one of his imploring gazes of genuine confusion, he quirked a brow. )
I beg your pardon?
erin gilbert – ghostbusters 2016 – ota
no subject
Not that that was a hard position to get because in all honesty she really hasn't been on many dates at all, period. She's been a bit too busy focusing all her (considerable) energy on becoming the best damn cop this city has ever seen.
So, she made herself presentable (which honestly kind of just means wearing a somewhat more dressed-up shirt with her jeans) and headed off to the store. About two steps in she is already blushing. Sweet cheese and crackers, there is a lot of silicone in here. Veiny silicone.
And so much naked. Only pictures but still, so much naked.
She had been told to meet her date over by the giant anal beads and standing there is... ]
Oh, Erin, I'm so glad you're not Nick!
[ Because she would not have put it past Holtzmann to try to hook her up with him, and in a place like this that would just have been... wait. ]
Erin!?
no subject
Point is, it would be nice to go on a date for once, and hey, if the other person is as bad at scoring a date for himself as she is –
Or herself. Themselves. As bad at scoring a date themselves as she is, it might only be half bad.
If she had known it would take place at a sex toy store, she wouldn't even have walked in. Holtzmann had anticipated that, however, which is why she had so graciously offered to take Erin there. She is sort of almost grateful for the fact that she'd let her questionable friend and colleague take her usual professor look down a notch. Not just because she's spotted skirts like hers but shorter in one of the sections walking in. Then Holtz had disappeared, possibly to tell Mia all about this, and Erin had resigned to waiting.
By the – oh god do people really put these up their a-- |
Judy!
| She twirls around, and she experiences that very same moment of relief. Mixed with terror. Mixed with the urge to kill Holtzmann in her sleep. She shakes her head, nervous rambling mode engaged: |
I thought she might do this, but I didn't believe she would. Does that make sense? Does it even matter if it makes sense, I mean, you know her, she doesn't care about basic principles like logic, so why try to apply it to her actions? | Get your shit together, Gilbert. | It's. Seeing you. That's nice.
| She would nervously look away from Judy, but in looking just over her shoulder, her eyes rest on something that looks like tentacle instead, so she ends up looking right back at Judy with a hint of pink in her cheeks. |
no subject
[ Because while she mostly agreed to this thing to make Holtzmann shut up about it, she knows that Erin is much more actively interested in finding that special someone.
Not that Judy isn't, but it's really not very high on her list of priorities. Actually most things rank pretty low unless they are connected to "making the world a better place" which is a very big thing to ask of yourself but that's Judy for you.
But back to the point. Poor Erin! Judy can't imagine she wants to go on a date with her. ]

[Eleven years ago, Toki Hara arrived in New York with little else but the money in his pocket, the clothes on his back and an admission to one of the most prestigious medical schools in the state. That had been his father Ryuuken’s parting gift and final word, as Toki severed all ties to one of the oldest, most traditional and secretive families in Japan to pursue his true dream- to become a doctor and forever forswear the family business of... well. Let's just say that they tended to be the kind of family that made ghosts.
But all that was in the past. He was now in the land of opportunity, the land where hard work and dedication could help anyone create their own fortune! He would overcome the past and forge a new life for himself! And he would do it at one of the hospitals in a less well-to-do area, where his contributions could truly make a difference!
To say the latest six or so years had been harrowing would be an understatement. Budget cuts, being forced to turn people away for being unable to pay, the US insurance system in general and the great American love affair with the gun had formed a deadly union against his faith in mankind and belief in hope and good in general, BUT. He held his tongue. He kept on working, for the people around him who needed him far more than his complaints needed airing...
Aaaand then some patients who he distinctly remembered checking out started checking back in and slimed down the place like they never left in the first place, so maybe he could be forgiven if he somewhat sort of kinda... snapped. The Ghostbusters found him with his fist lodged inside one ghostly patient’s chest cavity, somehow lifting said patient over his head to repeatedly bash another ghost with the first one. Abby had theorized the presence of equipment giving off certain radiation-wavelengths, or possibly a close personal relationship with the living person interacting with them, could enforce solidity onto a class 5 free roaming vapor, Patty just stated that when someone gets REAL pissed there's very few limits to what they can do, and Erin had stared at the good coat-less, slimy t-shirt wearing doctor for a truly uncomfortable amount of time.
The point being that in the end the Ghostbusters had saved him and the hospital, and when Toki realized what had happened he was so overcome by gratitude that he had insisted he repay them in some way, any way at all.
That was when blond one (Ms Holsman?) had gotten a strange grin on her face, and then before he knew it he’d been convinced to take the one who had pulled him away from the razor-toothed monstrosity he was doing peculiarly well against, one Erin Gilbert, out for dinner. So here he was at the fanciest place he could afford (not exactly a place fit for the mayour, but a fair bit better than Zhu’s Authentic Take Out)- first one to arrive of course, wouldn't do to keep a lady waiting after all. He was dressed up in the old suit he wore to graduation, still well-fitted but marked by the years, as he slowly started to wonder if this was really such a good idea. She was probably busy with a ton of work, and what if there was an emergency? Despite their situation his hospital at least had enough personnel to cover for his absence, but who on Earth could jump in for a Ghostbuster? And she had seemed so awkward over the whole affair, so perhaps… the real ghost here would be that of his dating life, again...]
Erza Scarlet | Fairy Tail
Drinking
Which was why he sat there with some soda at the bar in Fairy Tail, staring at the mark given to him. Surprised he was even let in, though with this kind of headmaster, any option seemed possible. Not even telling others Hei used to be an assassin was also a strange move. Just what did that guy hope for?
"I'll never understand cryptic old people," he said, immediately drinking his cola and asking for another. "At least things seem semi-normal here."
Someone hasn't seen the chaos here yet.
no subject
"If you think things are normal, then you really haven't been here very long have you? Just wait until you meet Natsu or Gray, those two can cause a ruckus even when I'm here to keep them in line." She offered Hei her hand in introduction, a warm smile on her face.
"I'm Erza Scarlet, one of Fairy Tail's S-class mages."
no subject
He offered a smile and shook her hand. "A oleasure, Ms. Scarlet. I'm Hei."
no subject
"So then Hei, what exactly is your specialty as a mage?"
no subject
"Molecular magic," he explained. "There's a lot of technicals to it, but let's say I can control things like electricity or fire not belonging to a mage, and use it for my own, or disassemble the material to its most basic elements. I prefer to rely on fighting hand-to-hand however. I can at least generate electricity for that."
no subject
"I'm actually rather curious to see how powerful you are with it, but perhaps we can let that wait for another time. Peace and quiet is such a rarity in our guildhall I like to enjoy it while I can."
no subject
After all, if something was faster than him, he couldn't activate it in time. He always had to be aware, which was extremely difficult against different magic types. Hence why he preferred stealth and silent takedowns.
Though he hoped this guild let him kill less.
He nodded. "Agreed. In that case, maybe you can tell me more about yourself. I'm afraid I only know of stories of Erza Scarlet."
And those involved pain and swords from other fallen or defeated foes.
no subject
"I'm not sure if there's really all that much to tell. Most of the rumors about me have been blown out of proportion I'm sure." Natsu and Gray did like to refer to her as a scary woman who could kick down a mountain, but she very rarely had needed to destroy an entire mountain range. "I've spent most of my life in this guild, and it's long been my goal to protect and serve it with all the strength I have. Fairy Tail has become my family, and I do my best to set a good example for all the younger members of our guild."
no subject
She certainly seemed noble enough, and kind enough thus far. He couldn't find anything that would paint her as a liar, just like everyone else in this guild. It was...a weird feeling.
no subject
She couldn't shake the feeling that Hei reminded her of someone she knew, but whoever it was they weren't a member of Fairy Tail. She shook her head, brushing such thoughts a way. "What about you Hei? You're quite the enigma yourself, the master inviting you into the guild without telling anyone of your origins. What's your story?"
no subject
Given the question, his gaze faltered a bit, mind unfocused when thinking back to rhat person. Just had to stick to his original story.
"I was just a freelancer before this. Got mixed into a lot of problems, but was offered a chance to stay here." Technically it wasn't a lie. "Got nowhere else to go anyway, and figured I could do some good here."
It was all hardly a lie anyway. Just...leaving out the darker bits to that past.

So, one night, he invites his girlfriend to his private quarters for a dinner for two by candlelight. It took Xander some serious willpower to take a night off from his kingly duties, but Leo volunteered to step in for him for the night, and Xander trusts his brother as much as he does his other siblings -- in other words, more than anybody else in any realm.
When 6:30 rolls around, Xander is hard at work in the kitchen in his private quarters. The small table has already been set, draped in a pure white tablecloth and two places set. Two tall, purple candles sit in the middle of the table, currently unlit, and the lamps in the room have been dimmed. Xander himself has shed his armor for the occasion, opting instead for a dress shirt with a cravat and a handsome royal purple vest worn over it, and black dress pants and shoes. As he puts the meal in the oven, he listens eagerly for Erza's knock.]
[[OoC: Sorry for how long this took me to tag!]]
no subject
Tonight was special, because Xander had promised he'd treat her to something sweet, romantic, and classic, which was exactly what she was in the mood for. So today she had dressed up just for this date, wearing a gown that she reserved for rare occasions like this one. She walked up to his door, her high heels clicking on the the floor as she went. She usually wasn't the type to get nervous but she wasn't sure what precisely to expect.
She knocked on his door with her white gloved hand, and made sure that her hair was still done up just right when the door opened.]
I hope I didn't keep you waiting too long.
(ooc: I'm even more sorry for how long this took me to tag back, but I even made a new icon just for the occasion!)
no subject
When he sees Erza, he smiles warmly at her -- a rare treat from him -- and shows her inside.]
Not at all, Erza. I just put the main course in the oven, so you couldn't have gotten here at a better time.
[He closes the door behind her and takes the opportunity to properly take in the sight of his beautiful girlfriend in her evening gown, extremely happy with how her choice in dress looks on her. He can feel his pulse quicken just by looking at her.]
And I must say, you look positively stunning tonight. Your gown suits you absolutely perfectly.
