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.

[Slash not promised, case by case basis. Mostly het.]

[ She hasn't been on a date in a loooong time. Amazing that you got her to even go on one. ]

(also comes in fairytale flavor)

[will happily roll with all options minus 'married']

[ She's not sure if 'date' accurately describes the activity they're participating in. There are several known connotations to the word, and thus far they've only ever proven themselves to be good friends. Acquaintances. School mates. It's a very informal affair.

But it definitely qualifies as an outing, with someone whose intellect she appreciates, and that's enough for her to be mildly excited about. The opportunity presented itself for them to participate in some sort of game, outside of school, and she has to admit she's curious what Charles has in mind.

Their appointed meeting place in the park offers no real clue. She'll just have to be patient, and that she is. There's a rose bush behind the bench she's perched on, anxiously tucking down the ends of her sundress and peering this way and that. People filter along the sidewalk under a warmly shining sun, the afternoon proving to be a rather peaceful one. But where is he?

River nibbles on the inside of her lip as she continues to wait. ]

[ ooc: available in post-rangkok flavor as well. ]

[ he wheels down the park's path, spotting river and grinning as he approaches. he'd chosen the park because of the weather: a gorgeous fall day, one they should enjoy while they still can. there are chess boards at this park; he doesn't know if river can play, but she's probably the smartest person in the school (besides maybe himself, but he doesn't want to assume that). he doesn't like planning these things out too much, much preferring to let the afternoon take them where it may.

once he reaches her, charles launches right in as though they've been talking for hours. ]

People are an absolutely fascinating bunch, don't you think? I saw an albino man on the way here. I'd never seen one in person before. Such deviations! It's spectacular. I wish I knew where it all came from.

[ he peers up at her (she's taller even on the bench than he in the chair) and takes a breath. his smile is more hesitant this time. ]

Hello. How are you? That dress is lovely.

[ She almost hops to her feet as he approaches, then seems to think the better of it. He probably appreciates not having to look up quite so far. Manners, River. Your parents did teach you that much.

Luckily she feels much more at ease when he begins to talk, plucking a topic out of nowhere. She seizes upon it, expression brightening as she breaks into a smile. ]

Well yes. Genetic mutation is fascinating. We imagine every human being on Earth to look and behave a certain way, and from the millions of possible variations of genetic markers passed from parent to child, the genomic sequence of a person's DNA is actually changed. And then that change finds its way down the line, and you realize that as a species, we're still evolving. It's all very...

[ And then it all trails off with that compliment. Her cheeks go a little pink, her eyes a little wide. She looks away, as though not really knowing what to do with that other than smile and look shy. Brilliant. She can calculate a new mathematical theorem that proves the textbook wrong, but she can't talk to a boy like a functional person. ]

Oh. I. That is, thank you. You look very nice as well.

[ Kindly ignore the way her fingers twist in the fabric of her dress. She's fine, really. ]
