shoot your shot




Some characters can be smooth operators. Others couldn't woo anyone if their life depended on it. Yet they've ended up with one common goal today: they've gotta put on their best game face and flirt.

Maybe it's sincere; they've had their heart set on their pinpoint target for a while and this chance can't be blown. Possibly it's as a prank, bro. Also, canons provide a non-zero chance that someone has to flirt nuclear launch codes out from under a villainous billionaire. Who doesn't have that penciled in for Sunday night?

how do:
- DON'T LEAVE YOUR TOP COMMENT BLANK. That's where your character's flirtation/pickup line/attempt to sweep love interest off their feet goes. Be it a simple line of dialogue, action spam, etc, it just can't be empty.
- Choose your destiny. Flawless victory.

( pale, skinny, not particularly tall, you're probably thinking 'this guy's bound to have something awesome up his sleeve to compensate' right? wrong. )

So, uh. Hey. If you have any weird... gaps in your memory that happen to have something to do with a gas station, we might have actually met already. If not, I make a mean spaghetti. I have a full-time job. Oh, also, I'm probably gonna die soon so I'm what you might call "low commitment".

[See now, flirting never hurts! Flirting's fun, no strings attached unless you tie them there. Not enough to make his commitment phobia kick into overdrive, no sir. Time to take his ugly skull mask off, before shaking out his hair (silver, wavy, real anime shit) and leaning in front of his poor target.]

Well, you look like you could use a fresh drink. I know I could. What's your poison?

My lady... excuse my imprudence, but I couldn't help seeing that you're feeling uncomfortable. Why don't we step outside for a little while? Get some fresh air, maybe. Perhaps some food afterwards? The hour is getting late and I'll admit I'm getting a little hungry.

[ Amy doesn’t like bad boys, she likes nerds. So, what the hell is she doing giving this guy a second look? She peers over her shoulder at him with the same grin she wears when she’s about to get up to serious trouble. After that, it’s kind of hazy. Amy hops up into a seated position on the bar when the bartender is busy answering a phone at the other end with his back turned. Reaching with her willowy arms, she snags a bottle of tequila and quickly hops down to join her partner in crime. ]

Where the hell else would we meet?

Wow, okay, this is already going... way better than I thought it would. Cool.

( His skepticism of speed-dating stems both from the weirdness that taints his entire life, and from just the concept in and of itself. He's not really a people person, and it's kind of like cramming as many people as possible into the shortest amount of time in the scariest possible way.

Well, not literally. He's seen a lot of people crammed into each other, and the fleshy abomination that resulted probably technically counts as scariest. This is, like, dating scary. It's kind of worse.

Note to self: do not mention the flesh abomination.
)

Should I, like, try to shake your hand right now? Is that weird or polite? It's probably weird. I'm Jack.
