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.

I'm not sure there's anything we can do to stop making you feel like a dork . . . *She lets that one hang there for a second, but continues before Megumi can say anything.* . . . But c'mon, you shouldn't feel weird for saying stuff like that. Here, watch, I'll one-up you.

*Hikaru takes one of Megumi's hands and declares--well, okay, maybe she doesn't say it as loudly as "declares" would imply, but still:*

I love you, Megumi, with all my heart.

*She tries to say that kinda cool, but instead ends up blushing and grinning like an idiot.*

[shallwedoit]

[And instead of... you know, laughing it off, or something, she just winds up blushing and looking away. If she said that, it'd definitely be cheesy, but Hikaru saying it makes her heart all fluttery. D-doki.]

That's... I don't think you're any good at that... [Acting like a dork, she means. Even with the blush and the grin, Megumi finds herself at a loss for words. There's, well, there's people wandering by but since there isn't a line or anything most people have better things to do than focus on them. So she places her other hand over Hikaru's.]

I love you too... so please let go. I'm gonna explode if this keeps up.

[ropeagrope]

Yeah . . . yeah. Um. It really took a lot effort not to kiss you after saying that, so . . . yeah. *She lets go, though with some obvious reluctance.* I-I probably should've thought that through a little better . . .

[shallwedoit]

[She looks around... again, nobody's really paying them any attention, are they? And there's kind of a lull in foot traffic, so...

She darts in for a very quick kiss, then pulls away and does her best to act like nothing out of the ordinary happened.]

It's fine. I, uh... feel better now. Thanks. [Well, she does. Just probably not for the reason Hikaru was going for.]

[ropeagrope]

*A-Ah*

*Yeah there's some quick, semi-panicked glancing around, followed by a sigh of relief and a little smile.*

Geez . . . and who was all mad the last time I kissed her in public, huh?

[shallwedoit]

If you didn't want me to kiss you, you shouldn't have made a face like that... especially after such a fluffy line. [Seriously, what did Hikaru expect?]

We should get going before we wind up making out, or something. Unless you want to go on the tunnel of love.

[ropeagrope]

No, no, I think I've had enough of rides for one day. Making out somewhere where people won't rate our performance sounds way more appealing right about now.

[shallwedoit]

... At least that guy thought I was doing a good job. [Small comforts.]

Should we go home, then? My place is pretty close, and. Uhm. Nobody'd be home right now... [Subtle.]

[ropeagrope]

*super subtle*

*But it's ok because Hikaru would've basically suggested the same thing.*

. . . That sounds like a plan.

[shallwedoit]

[Super duper subtle. She reaches for Hikaru's hand again and starts to lead the two of them away from the amusement park with perhaps a bit too much hurry.]

Before you say anything, I'm walking fast because of you. [It's not her fault, though, see? It's not her fault because she just said so.]

I wanted more cotton candy, too...

[ropeagrope]

*Is it time for us to start trolling each other again? I think it is!!*

Well, we can stay a little longer if you really want . . .

[shallwedoit]

No, no, don't worry about it! You wanted to leave, right?

[No trolling shall be done today because Megumi has the perfect argument. See? Perfect.]

I don't mind. It's no trouble at all, really! I can always get cotton candy later. You wanted to leave. [Okay, maybe she is trolling. Just in a different direction.]

[ropeagrope]

*The expected move here might be to insist, but naaah, Hikaru's just gonna roll with it, and maybe throw in a little flirting on top.*

Yeah . . . I did. *Squeezes Megumi's hand~* I'd rather be alone with you right now.

[shallwedoit]

[... Okay this different direction was a bad idea.]

Uhm, yeah. [Megumi fidgets a little, then returns the squeeze, nodding absently.] Same here.

[ropeagrope]

*I think you mean the best idea!*

Haha, look at you blush!

[shallwedoit]

[why this]

Oh, shut up... you were blushing just as much earlier, anyway.

[ropeagrope]

Well . . . yeah. I kinda can't help it around you.

But I'm still gonna tease you about it.

[shallwedoit]

And whenever I try to tease you back, I just wind up exposing a weak point... I can't really win, can I?

[ropeagrope]

Hey, let's be real here. You win all the time. Have you forgotten the time you slept over at my place already?

[shallwedoit]

I think it was your brothers who won that time, really... [But Hikaru had been adorable as a kid, so sure, Megumi'll count that as a win for her.]

Let's just call it even?

[ropeagrope]

. . . Point. Yeah, that sounds good.

[shallwedoit]

I'm really glad I don't have any brothers... and Mana's way too nice to pull something like that.

Not that they didn't seem like nice guys, but they probably tease you a lot, right?

[ropeagrope]

You have nooooo idea. I'd trade places with you in a heartbeat, believe me. *Well not really of course but ugh older brothers!!*

[shallwedoit]

[and kyaa little sisters. Okay Mana annoys her every now and then too but at least she doesn't have two other people to gang up on her with.]

Sorry, she isn't on the market. [She squeezes Hikaru's hand, idly.] And I don't think I'd want all three of your brothers! [Maybe that was why Hikaru had been so boyish when she was little? ... So, in a way, maybe she should be thankful to them.]

oh god so late sob

[ropeagrope]

*It was definitely an easy way to fit in. And they made guy stuff seem so cool!!*

Not even as a rental? And I could trade you just one. Wataru's not too bad on his own . . .
