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
-For the top level subject line: your character is wearing a nametag, which also indicates their name, age and if they are interested in men/women/both/other. Don't forget to put in your comment what their nametag says!
-Tag around
-Repeat, TAG AROUND. Tag everyone! If you're just here for the memes/lulz, 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! Be sure to indicate if you prefer semi-serious, shippy, jokes, gen, etc etc.
-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.
-Have fun!

magnus bane | shadowhunters | ota

[high_warlock]

Name: Magnus Bane
Age: 400 30
Interested In: Men/Women (or both!)

[ He's perfectly happy to be here, thank you, and is enjoying himself with a colorful drink in a martini glass. ]

[arhivista]

( she doesn't speed date. or rather zelda's never speed dated before but this is what she gets for allowing someone to sign her up for a social activity, to meet new people without properly finding out what it is. harriet.

the nametag she's wearing is something that she's awkwardly shifted, the drink in her hand relatively untouched. and she really does look like a fish out of water, not exactly uncomfortable in being here but very uncertain.

which probably doesn't help when she's thrown into her next date, barely having figured out this first one. at least she comes with polite smiles. if a then unfortunately asked question-- )

Are they always so quick?

( it is speed dating. she gets that but the timer was ridiculously quick. though she does live a slower paced life )

[fekt]

[ Sliding into the seat across from Magnus is six foot three inches of broad, strawberry blonde, dorito-shaped man. He looks like he's enjoying the speed of it, the way someone might enjoy an amusement park. ]

Hello! I'm Ben, it's very nice to meet you, Magnus.

[ He says with the slightest of pauses before his own name, like someone using a pseudonym might when quickly trying to recall the name they're using, and seamlessly picks up Magnus's from his name tag with only the quickest of glances to the thing. ]

Ian Todd | Boss | OTA

[adulterate]

[ NAME: Ian Todd
AGE: 27
INTERESTED IN: Both ]

[[ Ian is absolutely here because he lost a bet, so this will mostly be for humor, but maybe he'll meet someone he actually clicks with if you like... unrepentant assholes. ]]

Shatterstar | marvel 616 | ota

[fekt]

Name: Ben Gaveedra
Age: 31
Interested In: Any

[ Did anyone ask for a tall, strong glass of water, who absolutely looks some combination of lost and enthusiastic? Because you found him. ]

[mystiqal]

[ Mystique is definitely here looking for something other than a date, but hydration is important so she'll still have a sip of that tall, strong glass of water.

That is to say that a pretty brunette with olive skin and grey eyes is sauntering up to Ben with all the swagger and confidence of a silver screen pirate captain. ]

Hi.

J’onn J’onzz 👽 DC

[yourfavorite]

[ And here is a seven foot tall green man with bug eyes and a beetle brow. He’s wearing what could most easily be described as a gravity defying toga, that floats loosely around him.

His name tag reads-

Hello, my name is J’onn J’onzz
I am a Martian seeking justice.

One of his friends has clearly tricked or forced or bribed him into being here, and he has no intention of taking it seriously. ]

[jazzz]

Shinji’s not sure what possessed him to sit down next to the alien, since usually he likes his men less...green, but here he is.

“Seeking justice, eh? I knew a guy who was like that. Bit of a drag to be around.”

Noctis Lucis Caelum | Final Fantasy XV | M/M

Name: Noctis
Age: 20
Interested In: Male

Duo Maxwell | Gundam Wing | M/M

[deathsangel]

Name: Duo
Age: 18
Interested In: Male

[maladie]

[Vanitas drops himself down at the seat across from Duo, smiling broadly, but not saying anything. Not even a greeting. Instead he takes just a few more seconds to inspect the other before nodding in approval.

He's not looking for a boyfriend, but if he must be here the two of them are about the same age, and will keep him from having to make his way through unfortunates that he had zero interest in.]

Not bad.
