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. It doesn't even have to be romantic.

Not strangers at all?

[ds_elliemiller]

Sure! This won't be weird at all. XD

[doctor_victorious]

Not even a little XD Do you want to set it up or shall I?

[ds_elliemiller]

Do you mind starting it off?

[doctor_victorious]

[was he really going to do this? he stared hard at the readouts that flashed across the screen from the TARDiS sensors. This was not anything he was looking forward to nor any game he was willing to play. But Zygons had infiltrated somehow, and he was sure that somehow was via Create-A-Date. He glanced at the cheesy flier that he'd found posted to one of the street lamps of this place.]

Broadchurch. [he said the name aloud, tasting it and then running his tongue over his teeth. 'Find Love in Unexpected Places'! It said. And wasn't that the truth. But the only way to even tell where they were meeting, if there were even Zygons about, was to sign himself up and go through with it]

Well... [he makes a face and considers this] Not expected to snog anyone, am I?

[and he'd had quite enough of that. He runs a hand through his hair to make sure it's standing properly, blows into a cupped palm and smells his breath--which of course smells minty and brilliant, and then moves out of TARDiS into the Gull's Cafe to meet the poor person at table number seven who is to be his date.

He spots her, petite and dark, and, eternally grateful she's not blond, grins]

You must be the one I'm supposed to meet! Ready to create our date? [was that cheesy? ... Naah. Couldn't be]

[ds_elliemiller]

...Is this a joke?

[She should have known better than to actually cone to this, whatever her sister said. She really should have known he'd find out, probably the whole town knew by now.

Well, oh well. She isn't doing anything wrong, has nothing to be ashamed of, and she is not throwing the towel that quickly.

He looks odd, somehow - is it the grin, making that much of a change? No, that doesn't make sense. He seems skinnier, somehow, and the hair... She frowns.]

Who told you I was here?

[doctor_victorious]

[he'd thought this was a blind date. Apparently he wasn't. Well he could roll with it.]

Oh you know. What's her face. [he pulls his chair around and straddles it, rocking it forward on two legs before remembering and holding out his hand] Nice to meet you. Can't wait to learn everything about you. [~wink~]

[and then a swift calculating glance to a passing waitress before back at her, all smiles]

[ds_elliemiller]

[What - okay, this was just getting weirder. Was this his idea of a prank? She couldn't imagine him committing to any joke this thoroughly. Then again...]

What's her face? Nice to meet me? Hardy, what are you on about?

Did you just check out the waitress? Oh, I need a drink.

[doctor_victorious]

Who? [then] Wot? No I wasn't checking her out. What makes you think-- I was just looking.

Anyway, I'm not Hardly whoemver. I'm the Doctor. Pleased to meet you. Just came in from out of town. Anything strange going on around here by any chance? [scratches the back of his neck]

[ds_elliemiller]

Mmhm. [She makes a face, not so much buying that explanation.]

The doctor? What does that mean? [Listen to her - she sighs, smiles at him.] Sorry. I'm Ellie, nice to meet you. It's just you look really just like my partner - not life partner, I mean, obviously, work partner. I'm a DS.

Strange how?

[doctor_victorious]

Ohh I love to meet a good DS. Haven't met one in ages. And oh, I dunno, strange. Sudden disappearances, sudden returns. People acting a bit... kooky. [he does the bunny eared thing to indicate that it was said with slight sarcasm] People mysteriously setting up blind date fliers. I mean, granted, you'd have to be pretty sad to--

[stops himself mid-sentance and coughs] Y'know. Things like that.

[ds_elliemiller]

Boy, you're an excellent date, aren't you? [Said also sarcastically, but not with the bunny ears to indicate this. He'll get it anyways.]

You know, there is one quite strange thing that's happened recently, actually...

[doctor_victorious]

Well, I can be. [wink] I'll make it up to you. [somehow. And he hopes she doesn't take it the wrong way either. But more importantly just now]

What? What is it? Tell me everything. Even if it seems daft. I'm all ears.

a million years later... sorry, work got insane :(

[ds_elliemiller]

Did you just proposition me? Bit early for that, isn't it? [She never should've come to this.]

This odd bloke who looks just like my boss showed up out of nowhere and is obsessed with anything weird going on.

ahaha no worries :D Glad you came back. Also 1/2

[doctor_victorious]

Wot? No! No Definitely not. No. Nope. Don't do that sort of thing. Not a proposition in the least.

[doctor_victorious]

But that last part, now that is interesting. [he leans forward, fingers folded on the table and gives her an intense look] Tell me all about that.

[ds_elliemiller]

What do you mean you don't do that sort of thing? Why on earth would you - [Oh, why's she bothering to ask. She makes a face at him, again.]

That last part I'm talking about you!

[doctor_victorious]

What d'you mean me? And what, just because we're on a blind date you think I want to...proposition? Blimey, I'm not that fast.

[he takes a sip of coffee]

By the way have you drunken yours yet?

[ds_elliemiller]

It's - you're -

You're the only very strange thing that's happened in this town since -

Oh, forget it. I'm going home and getting drunk.

[doctor_victorious]

Good. Go do that. And don't drink the coffee because I'm fairly sure it's drugged.

[and he faceplants on the table. It's okay. Go on and leave him there. He'll be fine. More or less]

[ds_elliemiller]

[She had started to stand, and then she sits back down, heavy.]

Oh, for fuck's sake. [She sighs, and then raises her voice, tells everyone to put down their drinks. Sometimes her job really...]

[alec_hardy]

[is walking by the window, mostly in shadow, drinking from a paper cup. Then he stops. Leans back. Peers in]

Christ

[and keeps going. Nope. Not today...]

Thank you for that I just laughed for like 3 minutes straight

[ds_elliemiller]

Rofl I have to admit I'm the 10 as well and I couldn't resist XD
