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.

[You know, the last thing Kirino expected was to actually get a date with Tsurugi. And yet, here they are at an ice-skating rink. Kirino's visited a few times before, so he's no beginner at ice-skating. He's actually pretty comfortable as he laces up his skates, pulls off the guards, and then finally stands, waiting.]

Have you done this sort of thing before?

[recalcitrance]

I have, actually. Just not recently.

[There were a lot of family outings when he was a child and ice skating was one of the things they did. Obviously they stopped after a certain time but Tsurugi doesn't think he's forgotten how to skate.

He glances over at Kirino.]

Are you ready, then?

[doingthemistything]

Mhm. Let's go! [He's already making his way towards the rink, actually, but he pauses just before he actually steps onto the ice.]

[recalcitrance]

[Tsurugi on the other hand, doesn't. He steps on the ice and pushes off. When he notices that Kirino didn't follow, he circles back. When he's at the rink entrance again, he holds out a hand towards the other boy wordlessly.]

[doingthemistything]

[--Well. He was waiting for Tsurugi, but that works, too. He puts his hand in Tsurugi's before finally stepping onto the ice.

He doesn't necessarily need the hand, but that's all right. Tsurugi's getting a smile anyway, at least.]

[recalcitrance]

[It doesn't matter if he doesn't need it or not but Tsurgi keeps hold of it anyway. From the way he holds Kirino's hand though, it's less of giving the boy support but just... well, holding it.

In any case, he starts to lead them around the rink.]

[doingthemistything]

[Kirino's more than happy to allow himself to be led around, and hums to himself as he and Tsurugi skate around.

This is nice.]

[recalcitrance]

[Tsurugi thinks it's nice too but now he feels a little awkward about it. Is this too forward of him?

Still not saying anything, he glances over at Kirino.]

[doingthemistything]

[Kirino looks over to see Tsurugi glancing at him and gives what's hopefully a reassuring smile. He squeezes Tsurugi's hand a bit for emphasis.]
