Speed Dating Meme

SPEED DATING

You are at a speed dating event! "Speed dating is a formalized matchmaking process or dating system whose purpose is to encourage people to meet a large number of new people." - the Great Oracle of Wikipedia

-Post with your character
-DON'T LEAVE YOUR TOP LEVEL EMPTY. Empty top levels will be deleted. You see, your character is wearing a nametag! They must fill it the following information:
<b>Name:</b> <b>Age:</b> <b>Preference:</b> (f/m/both/none/other/etc) <b>Something about you:</b>
You can fill it ICly and write the bullshit your character would write, or handwave and say the meme gods fill it with the right information.
-Tag around
-Repeat, TAG AROUND. Tag everyone! Tag people your character would never be romantically interested in ever! It's not a proper speed dating event without a few excruciatingly embarrassing moments. Tag cross-canon! Meeting new people is the whole point!
-If your character would not usually be willing to do this, they have a strange compulsion to do so today. Or maybe they're undercover. Or they owe a friend a favor. Or they lost a bet. Or whatever. Just handwave it.
-It doesn't even have to be shippy, if your character is here because they were dragged by a friend, they can use the opportunity to just make friends. Or have a drink. Or start a fight.
-Have fun!

Morisuke Yaku | Haikyuu!! | OTA

[onisenpai]

Name: Morisuke Yaku
Age: 18
Preference: Anyone tbh, but I’m not saying I’m not picky.
Something about you: I’m libero to the Nekoma High School VBC, and proud of it! I like athletes, tall guys, girls with short hair, and fitness, but I’m down for anything I guess. Just don’t be an idiot, and don’t give me any shit for my height. I make up for it in plenty of ways ;)

Lev Haiba need not apply.

((ooc: tho tbh, if u play Lev Haiba, PLEASE apply lmao))

I mean, not Lev, hope okay anyway? (Anime only!)

[1foxgiven]

[Well this... surprising. Kita gives a polite nod as he sits.]

Oh - Nekoma. That's a strong school. I play for Inarizaki.

[This was not his idea. Rather his 'Friends' (Aran) had 'encouraged' him to 'Stop cleaning the house and go meet someone off the court.' Does this still count?]

[senseloss]

[Coda sits down across from Ayame quietly, reading his nametag briefly before a soft, uncertain smile comes to their face.]

...so...what got you into embroidery? You clearly take a lot of pride in your ability.

Something about you: I can control and move water with my body and I helped save the world

[malibu_farmboy]

At the ring of the next bell, Johnnie moves down a seat and smiles politely at the young lady across from him. Between the decade age difference, the general no-nonsense look on her face, and his own tendency to laugh off the idea of speed dating, he's expecting pretty much next to nothing.

"Hiya, Master Katara...that's right, isn't it? You can waterbend, and you helped save the world, so doesn't that make you a master? ...Anyway, hi. I'm Johnnie."

Age: 20
Preference: Males
Something about you: I can definitely hold my own in a fight and I can make a mean drink

[ohwyrm]

[Estinien didn't exactly choose to be here (and the story of how he got here is not one he cares to repeat, thankyouverymuch, but some miracle must have been involved - his shabby traveling clothes have been replaced with a halfway decent shirt, and his hair is actually combed). But since he's stuck here for the time being, his plan for the evening is to snag whatever drinks and appetizers he can before the night is over or he's kicked out, whichever comes first. He's fully prepared to give Tifa the same silent treatment as his other unfortunate "dates", until he notices one small detail that sets her apart from the rest.]

- what was that first part again?

[He tilts his head and stares at her over his drink, every bit as serious and solemn as he was at the beginning of the night. But hey, at least he's talking now! That's something, right?]

[kappyoii]

Oi! There you are!

[ The voice comes from behind Mikitaka. Josuke is quickly approaching the little table he's sitting at, and when he gets to his side he pulls at his sleeve. ] Sorry gals! And guys! This one's actually busy today.

[ Josuke has not yet progressed to having Crazy Diamond materialize and just pick up Mikitaka out of his chair, but he's getting there. He leans in a moment later, voice a stage whisper as he adds a sympathetic, ] Is this about the Valentine's Day thing, man? I'm telling you, it's not that big of a deal if no one gave you a card!

[catwoman]

Hello there handsome.

[Usually at these things Selina would worm her way to whoever seems like they have the most money or whoever seems like the biggest asshole and deserves to have their wallet swiped ... despite the rules of speed dating (she does what she wants). But what can she say, this one is pretty and has nice eyes. Two things she appreciates.

She can give him a little of her time before stalking her next victim.]
