The BLIND DATE Meme

The Blind Date meme. Pretty self-explanatory. No matter how awkward and unexpected they might be, there is always something exciting about them. Who is your company for the evening going to be? Will it be a person of your innermost dreams or someone you absolutely can't stand? And most importantly...
 

How are you going to handle it?

What do:
1. Post with your character! They're now in the middle of a blind date.
2. Comment to each other! When you do that...
3. Go to Random.org and roll a single die!

1.

First date

-- You've never been out on a date before, so someone's decided to give you a helping hand.
2.

On the rebound

-- You're recovering from a painful breakup, but your friends/family think they found a great person for you anyway.
3.

Not strangers at all

-- Someone thought you didn't know your date. Turns out you know them from somewhere.
4.

Hideously awkward

-- Hey wait, that's your ex/boss/doctor/distant family member! Or, even worse, it's that person you absolutely despise. This will go well!
5.

Existing partner

-- You two are just acting like strangers to spice up your love life.
6.

Future spouse

-- Unfortunately, you have to have an arranged marriage. Fortunately, you get to meet that special someone for a date beforehand. How will the night go?
7. ...or, instead of rolling, come up with your own scenario!

4. Play out the date. This meme can be completely fluffy, smutty, or hilarious. If you don't want smut, you can put that in your subject. It doesn't even have to be romantic.

[1, 2, 4, 5, 6, and the wildcard option are all fine. Diaval only for cast, but I'm more than happy to play crosscanon. Maleficent is the embodiment of awkward blind date. Any questions or concerns, PM or message. Preferences in journal.]

[Astute red eyes scan the tavern patrons for the man he was apparently meeting on Tav's behalf, something about needing to get in someone's good graces or something. Blah, blah, blah. He was here. He would be charming. Whether or not that got them anywhere was out of his hands.

Astarion's gaze settles on a man matching Tav's description of his 'date' and he tilts his head a little. That heart beat... When Tav had told him to mind his manners because the guy was a bit of a dragon, he hadn't actually thought he meant it literally. He isn't often star-struck but it isn't every day that one runs into a dragon.

With an effortless smile, Astarion saunters over to the table where Anjou is seated.]

If I'm not mistake, you're just the person I'm looking for. I'm Astarion. A friend of Tav's. May I? [He motions with a sweeping gesture at the empty chair across from the man.]
