The Date Meme
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.

What extreme, sensual game has the romantique young wonan
*woman
prepared for the two of them?! It was--wait, it's Scrabble. They are going to play Scrabble. What the hell are they, fifty-year-old librarians? ]
Ladies first.
[ She points to Kanaya. The game is set up, they have their tiles--whatever they may be (and with alchemization involved, who knows how many of each letter there are--SCREW THE RULES)--and all that is left is to make the first move.
What will it be? ]
no subject
[Kanaya stares at her letters with a dubious stare, trying to wrap her head around Rose's reasons for wanting to play a game, which, for one thing, hinges primarily upon one's ability to actually spell accurately.
At the very least, there are enough letters for Kanaya to see the potential to put down the word "glow", oddly enough. She sets the SYMBOL SQUARES down onto the board and sits back, taking a drink from her BLOODY MARY which is really nothing but ACTUAL BLOOD in a martini glass.]
I still don't quite grasp how one is supposed to judge the worth of any particular word one manages to scrounge together from random letters.
no subject
[ And neither was she because she did not alchemize the RULE PAMPHLET. She has no clue what she is doing. In any regard, she likely does not give a shit. ]
A self-referential choice of words. You may be a worthy adversary already.
[ Alright, she manages to pull off the word "light" using the G from "glow". Surely the escalating series of impossibly coincidental words that will inevitably come in the next several turns will have nothing to do with the Seer of Light and her power over foreseeing victory. It will definitely be simply coincidental and ironic that the two of them will have whatever they need available to them for the most enjoyable choice of words.
Besides, if she were foreseeing victory, then Kanaya would not be having equal luck with her SYMBOL SQ--er, LETTER TILES, right?
...Unless winning the game of Scrabble is not actually relevant to the victory she is attempting to foresee. But what possible other victory could come from a game than winning the game itself? ]
no subject
I should certainly hope to be worthy to match wits with someone currently in such a dubious state of mental clarity, Rose.
[She sips thoughtfully on her drink, and starts to put down letters for the word "lady" using the L from "Light". This is clearly the most understandable part of the game, after all.
For her part, Kanaya hadn't been anticipating victory, not on the first try, but Rose's somewhat competitive streak has a way of rubbing off on her. She's determined to... to do whatever the ultimate objective of this game is.]
no subject
I have yet begun to show a dubious state of mental clarity. Time to continue the theme of--HIC--self-refren...refer--words relating to present company.
[ It also means she is going to PUSH THE ENVELOPE, probably in a less than respectable manner than she would in her normal (i.e. sober) state. ]
B, u, c...
[ Using the T from "Light" as the final letter, she spells out "bucket". Ok, the E is actually a sideways M, but she doesn't seem to notice, perhaps because her (slightly wobbly) gaze does not stray from Kanaya.
Wonk. ]
sorry for the delaaaaay :(
R-Rose!
[She gives the other girl a VERY disproving look, her cheeks glowing brighter despite her attempts to dissuade them.]
Surely there is some manner of rule against the use of such scandalous references.
[Of course, even saying all this, she doesn't notice the incorrect letter usage. Mostly because she's too busy meeting Rose's wobbly gaze, and slowly starting to realize the context of her previous statement, which only serves to worsen the flush on her face.]
sorry for MY delay
Anything's ok so long as it's in the dictionary.
[ Ignoring the fact there is probably not a dictionary nearby. ]
It's--hic--your turn, Miss Maryam.
