Love Letter Meme
It’s such a nice night, you couldn’t resist going out for a bit. As you walk around, you see a letter on the ground. What does it say?
“When the night sky wears the moon as
its pendant, I shall await you
at the dock.”
This is exactly where you are standing! Did someone drop it here, knowing you’d pass by? But who could that be?
1 – Post with your character, who just found the Love Letter.
Earlier in the day, someone else received the exact same letter… But they lost it somehow, and it handed up in your hands! And now, they’re headed to the dock for the rendezvous.
2 – Tag around! As you go to the rendezvous point, you see someone holding the Love Letter you received earlier… So it’s them who sent it? But they think it’s you who sent it. Awkward!
3 – Play out any scenario! Is it someone you know, a total stranger, someone famous?
4 – Don’t hesitate to change the setting or the time of the day!
Shamelessly inspired by an event from Final Fantasy IX.
Well, I sure laughed!
He can't refuse a request from a lady, so of course he makes his way down to the docks at the appointed time and waits.
When he hears someone approaching, he turns, eagerly, letter in hand--
--what the?!]
Blank... you...

... Well, let's think about it. Zidane has probably sent the letter thinking he'd never come. And now that they're both here, he doesn't know how to react. "Blank... you've come..." is probably what he meant to say. Yep, that's the only logical explanation. ]
Zidane...
[ He wishes there'd be an attack from Kuja or anyone. That'd be perfect to discreetly escape and pretend this was nothing but a nightmare. No attack? Ok...
Uh... What to reply? And how to nicely say "Sorry, but you're not really my type"? ]
... I'd never have guessed.

Uh oh, does that mean that since Zidane showed up here, now Blank thinks he likes him like that? He hadn't meant to give him the wrong impression. He'd never in a million years have guessed that Blank would write something like that to him.
Great, how's he supposed to get out of this now? He's got to let him down easy somehow. And be nice about it, obviously. Because he does like him as a friend, so he doesn't want to be a total jerk about this. Whoa, he'd never have expected this from Blank, though. You think you know somebody--!]
L-look, uh, y'know, you're really a great guy and all, and I like you a lot. [In a totally platonic way and not the way Blank thinks. His meaning couldn't be clearer! He pauses to think of the best way to follow up with the letdown.]
no subject
S-Stop, don't say one more word.
[ This is getting too far. What to say? Best case scenario, Zidane will understand on his own and be on his way. Worst case... He could present Zidane to a few friends who have the same taste than him. That'd make for a good compromise, and that wouldn't totally 'break his heart'. Yeah, now just to nicely make him understand there's no hope for the two of them.
He smiles ever so lightly and try to look relaxed. ]
I know how you must feel... You've always been like a brother to me, but...
[ But please stop having the hots for me. What would the other even say if they saw this scene? Damn, he has a reputation of ladies' man to protect. ]
no subject
Blank "knows how he must feel"? Did Zidane somehow not communicate himself as clearly as he'd thought he had? Right, he hadn't exactly finished. Now what was Blank about to say? Something embarrassing, no doubt. With Blank smiling at him like that... Well, it wasn't as if Zidane could blame Blank. Zidane was the total package: looks, charm, skill, and a great sense of humor.
But back to the matter at hand, he has to stop this declaration from ever happening. Ever. Now it's his turn to interrupt.] No, wait, hear me out, Blank! I've gotta say this. [But say what, exactly?]
Sometimes a guy might start out feeling one way, like a brother, and later feels different--and that's not bad. [It's okay, they can still be bros, but not more-than-bros.]
no subject
He could agree in a sense, that's not a bad thing... Until he becomes the object of one of his best friend's desire. He'd have at least hoped Zidane would have known him well enough to not even try. ]
R-Right.
[ What to say? He's at loss for words. Maybe it's time for a more direct approach. ]
But you gotta understand... I-I'm not interested by such a relationship.
[ Let's just stay friends. It'd be a shame to ruin such a friendship... He can pass on this episode and forget. Well, he'll probably never be able to forget, but at least pretend this didn't happen. ]
no subject
[Now he's confused.
Does that mean Blank wants--something that's just physical? He knows Blank can be a no-strings-attached kind of ladies' man, so it would make sense he'd be that way with guys--if he was into guys, which it seems like he is...? Which is fine, but Zidane is not.
But if that was what he was looking for, then why did he go ahead and write a Love Letter?! If that's his big move, it's a really bad one. He'd thought Blank was better at this kind of thing. Not that he wanted him to succeed in this case, but c'mon!]
Then why would you even do this? I don't get it, Blank.
