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.

(( Assumed CR okay! ))

(( Assumed CR okay ))

( Looking for blind or first date. I'd love cross-canon, but I'd prefer to keep to the AC universe or something else historical/fantasy/magical. )

[Assumed CR / Cross Canon ok! Tamaki is 18.]

[ There's a practically maniacal giggle from somewhere nearby as a short young woman is all but shoved at his table overlooking the waves below. The owner of the laugh grins and disappears almost as quickly as she appeared, leaving a blushing Evelina fidgeting next to an empty chair. It's very clear this blind date wasn't her idea and is something she isn't used to. But her long, simple dress is well pressed and clean; entirely suitable for a date on the waterfront. What better scenery than the Aegean itself, right? ]

Hello. Ah, I am Evelina. [ A curtsy follows. ] You are Alexios, yes?

[ Please let it be so, or else she was dragged over here and thrown at a stranger for no reason whatsoever. ]

[basic info available on his journal - tl;dr, Ignis is a Genasi Bard and is a spectacular disaster bisexual. He's also ftm trans male.]

[Semi-omnipotent ex-hero convincingly plays at being human. Assumed CR more than okay, or shenanigan filled beginnings.]

[If Sara was going to be honest, she didn't expect to be asked out by Joe of all people - she'd thought that they were simply best friends, and that was it. Anything more than that would honestly be a blessing in disguise.

So when she told her family that she actually had a date for the school dance, they were actually rather surprised...

...but at the same time, they were happy. Pleased that their daughter had someone in their life like that, and that it was someone who they could trust with her. Of course, it only meant that they had to get her only the best to wear for the night of the dance.

Maybe it comes to no surprise when she knocks on the door to his house in a blue galaxy dress, her hair down for once, but still slightly braided, the tips of her hair slightly curled. Or maybe it really is a surprise? She isn't really all that certain. What she is certain about, however, is just how much nerves there are in the human body. And how nervous she actually is about all of this.

It's their first date, after all.]

[ It took a lot of nerve to ask her. He'd been practicing for weeks and taking her some place like the arcade would've been easier. But he really wanted to do something special for a first date; it's Sara Cidouin after all! So a date to the dance seemed like a good pick.

Joe has a goofy smile on as he approaches her, waving with one hand up. It's clear he at least put some effort in: a suit though it's not buttoned up and a tie that matches her dress thanks to her mom giving him a tip of what she'd be wearing. And hell, he actually pulled his hair back and took off a lot of his gaudy accessories. But he still has that lil dog in his suit pocket. ]

Yo, Sara! Wow, you look so pretty! I knew asking you would be worth it for that just alone though! [ He rubs the back on his neck while letting out a nervous laugh. ] Oh hold up though! Got something for you!

[ He pulls out a corsage made of small white flowers. There's a blue ribbon to match her dress. ]

Sorry, it's nothing fancy! Spent my whole allowance on it, though!
