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.

Locations

1. Restaurant. What better way to spend some romantic time than over food? Maybe you're at the fancy restaurant in town, or maybe you just couldn't afford anything nice, so you're at the nearest diner. Or maybe somewhere in between?

2. Games. The two of you are playing a game somewhere! You could be at a bowling alley, an arcade, a miniature golf course...the possibilities here are countless.

3. The Park. Of course, Mother Nature can provide an excellent atmosphere for romantic bonding! Perhaps you're taking a leisurely stroll through the lush grounds, or maybe you've laid out a blanket somewhere so the two of you could have a picnic.

4. Movie Theater. Or maybe the two of you are sitting next to each other in a dark room, sharing a bucket of popcorn while you're watching the latest film. Did you opt for a horror flick to keep your significant other latched to your arm -- or for you to latch to theirs -- or perhaps something they enjoy, like a sappy romance film or a cheesy action flick? Or maybe you compromised and went to see a sweet romantic comedy.

5. Skating. It's always nice to go skating, right? Are you at a roller skating rink, or did you find a frozen lake and decide to go ice skating? Which one of you needs help (you know at least one of you does)?

6. Beach. Ahh, the beach! Go ahead and set up camp wherever you like! Or if you don't watn to lay down and catch a tan, you can go swimming, or take a walk along the shore! Or if you don't want getting sand on your feet or in your shoes, go hit up the boardwalk!

7. Sunday Drive. Sometimes you don't really have a destination in mind. Sometimes you just want to drive and enjoy the scenery. Well, here's your chance to do that!

8. Amusement Park. There's plenty to do here! Take your date on the Ferris wheel, or the tunnel of love...or something more thrilling, like a roller coaster! Walk around with cotton candy!

9. Dance/Ball. School dance? Prom? Business gala? Whatever it is, you're there, and you've got a date.

10. Wild Card. Your choice! Feel free to pick something that's not here.

( okay so Becca isn't much of a "dater" but i'm here for her being set up and not really wanting to go but also feeling like it'd be rude to turn it down or cancel at the last minute, so she goes. also safe to assume it's a customer from her cafe setting her up and she doesn't want to offend them. from there it can be whatever; maybe it's a nice time, or maybe it's awkward and cringe, or it's a total disaster. more info on her journal. )

[No 6 for scenario.]

[enjoy your weird famous blind date.]

[ I... is the date blind? Hopeful. ]

[ Good luck. ]

[ if interested, can choose any of his identities or e.g.os! ]

[Wildcard AU where either she's actually an spn ish hunter and they cross paths on a job or he winds up in Purgatory for a job? I tend to prefer s1-3 Dean but I can work with later canon points. And obviously they meet in a bar. ]

[ From what I know of SPN canon, I don't know if we need much/any AUing to make it work. I'm also all for playing fast an loose with canon-points and letting details blur if needed.

Dean in Purgatory sounds like a good start, in which case might as well make it Shorty's so Dean can "drink where Wyatt Earp drank?" and get to nerd on the job? I'm sure there are plenty of locals who could've caught his attention. ]

[The reports of missing people were pretty much what he'd expected when he looked into the info on the town, Dean parking in front of the bar after he'd settled in. There were other places to investigate but those could wait for morning.

And it seemed like this was one of the places to pick up more info, Dean entering the bar, gaze sweeping over the room before he heads to order a drink, finding a table after a few moments.

Sure it's occupied but so are the rest of the tables.]

Mind some company?
