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!

Age: 26
Preference: any beautiful creature~!
Something about you: Coming from a big family, and I have the best little brother. Embroidery skills are A+, not three people exist in the world who can embroider this well in a short amount of time! I live to make men's romance come true~! I'm a beautiful and charismatic man who can be often misunderstood by others who may not be as lucky as-- [And here they took the application from him.]

jiang wanyin | mo dao zu shi (manhua)

[nightchant]

Name: Jiang Wanyin
Age: early 30s
Preference: f, m
Something about you:
My requirements are: naturally beautiful, graceful and obedient, hard-working and thrifty, coming from a respected family, cultivation level not too high, personality not too strong, not too talkative, voice not too loud and must treat my nephew nicely.

[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.

[snakebusiness]

[Ayame flashes a smile and basically blooms as he's asked about his talents. With all his pink, shoujo bubbly glory.]

Oh, pride is to be taken where it's due, after all~! Why, what gets people into anything, my dear~? It's the call of passion, it's the scramble around to create something in this dull world that oftentimes can be too dark for our senses that seek beauty~! My wish was to create beauty and I found sewing and embroidery the most suitable for me~!

[senseloss]

I think you and I have a very different artistic process. But it's nice, meeting someone whose passion leads him to make beautiful things.

[snakebusiness]

Oh my! Could it be you are a fellow artist, Coda-kun~? Someone who understands the passion of creation, just like me~?

[senseloss]

I'm an environmental designer for video games. Do you consider that a form of art?

[They're aware some people definitely wouldn't.]

[snakebusiness]

[Ayame hums to himself as he's thinking about it.]

My, I truly never got video games, my sweet, but! I'm aware many of my customers play them so I was commissioned for costumes of the such before~!

.... but what is an environmental designer~?

[senseloss]

Well. Imagine it like a play or a movie. I'm the person who designs the 'set' for levels in the game. The space in which characters move. Are they walking through a forest? I'm involved in modeling the trees and deciding where they go.

[They gesture with both hands, trying to express the idea of 'space' and placing trees.]

Osomatsu Matsuno | Osomatsu-San | OTA

[zenryokubatankyu]

Name: Osomatsu 'Charisma Legend Oldest Brother' [this bit is squished into the form because he ran out of room] Matsuno
Age: 24
Preference: Hmmm. Some hot girl with a lot of money and huge gazongas? I'll take a hot guy instead. Rich is a huge bonus. Someone cool~! Oh, and someone who likes going to get drinks is also a huge bonus.
Something about you: I'm a real charisma legend lighting up the sky kinda guy! I'm also the oldest of six brothers! We're sextuplets!

[zenryokubatankyu]

[Hmmm. That's a promising application.]

You're a big brother from a big family, too? Nice! Not many people know the feeling.

[But the words on this seem...painful. Distinctly memorably painful. May as well sit down and give it a shot anyway.]

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?]

Ofc! Anime only is great <3

[onisenpai]

[Probably. Yaku raises an eyebrow as Kita takes a seat across from him, then cracks a smile (somewhat mischievous, but polite all the same - he is not here because a friend made him).]

You bet it is. Inarizaki too. I heard you guys are going to Nationals.

[As are they, but Kita should already know that, Yaku thinks! Nekoma is nothing to be trifled with after all!]

you know what, this works for now

[kindorkchi]

Isn't rejecting someone that... I don't know, publicly, kinda harsh?

[He's referring to the thorough dunking Yaku's given Lev on his nametag, naturally. His own nametag offers the basics: 16 y/o, plays for Aoba Johsai, looking for someone who can handle his busy schedule, etc etc.]

mallaidh ashby ღ original

[sweetestheart]

Name: Mallaidh Ashby
Age: 28
Preference: f/m
Something about you: I'm a great lover of the arts and I guarantee I can drink you under the table.

[onisenpai]

[Yaku doesn’t even need to reread his own name tag to know what this guy is talking about.]

I said what I said. Who’re you?

[He can see you’re name and that you’re from some supposed powerhouse school in the Miyagi prefecture (at least he thinks so), but that isn’t what he means. Say something interesting, and quick. This is speed dating, after all.]

[determine]

[ with a little bribery even kenma will end up in the unlikeliest of places. that's what the universe learns today as he sits across from one yaku morisuke. part of him is in disbelief that he's here, that he let himself be coerced as such. the overruling part of him understands his own math and that which equals a new game free of charge other than this mildly uncomfortable experience is...a positive net. right?

still, even with yaku, kenma's eyes end up pinned to the table between them. speed dating isn't any different from regular dating in the sense that, for the most part, kenma doesn't get it.

but whatever.

new game. ah.

he pulls out his phone to see if he's gotten a shipping notification yet...

...nope.

without looking up, he says, ]

How long is this?
