The (Forced) Speed Dating Meme

[pantheraliam]

Maybe You Want to Be Here, Maybe You Don't
But You're Here!

It's as the tagline says. Maybe you want to be here - have a few laughs, get to know some new people, make new friends, maybe take someone home - or, maybe you don't. Either way, you're here, complete with a name tag, a list of preferences, and a mysterious magical force that's keeping you from leaving. Whether compelled to sit at your table and wait for your next match, or to visit tables yourself, it's time to partake in a thrilling game of speed dating. And no, you don't have a choice, so you might as well make the most of it.

How to Play:
- Make a top level with your character name and canon in the subject line. Include in your top level what's written on your character's tag. You may use this format if you wish:
<b>Name:</b> <b>Age:</b> <b>Preferences:</b> (insert here either sexual preferences, whether you're looking for friendship/romance, or both) <b>About me:</b>
Feel free to assume that your character filled it out themselves, or that it was magically filled out for them when they arrived and they aren't able to remove it. Whatever suits your character best!

- Assume your character is either seated at a table awaiting matches, freely exploring the room, or being propelled by some otherworldly force to mingle. That is to say, tag around to other top levels and speed date away!

- It may be a good idea to put in your top-level some preferences for whether you are looking for shippy threads, friendship threads, funny threads, etc.. whatever you'd like!

- Tag around, have fun, be respectful, follow basic dwrp rules, etc.!

Anyone and everyone is welcome, including fandom characters, fandom OCs, canon OCs, AUs, CRAUs, etc.! Feel free to spread the word and thanks for playing!

[Well, that seems unnecessarily accusatory. Ren doesn’t seem to mind though. He simply shrugs.]

I have fun.

[Oops forgot the card.]


Name: Minato Arisato
Age: 17
Preferences: Whatever
About me: I like music, video games, and coffee.

[No he’s not trying. He shrugged back.]

And that’s why you’re here?

[He wasn’t trying to be accusatory. But it did seem weird to him.]

[Ren didn't actually choose to come here, but that seems like a lot to explain, so he just nods. It's not like he's mad to be here.

[He takes a minute to read the tag, then straightens up a bit (he was kind of leaning over to do that), and says:]

I make coffee.

[Minato couldn't help the owlish blink at that. It wasn't at all an answer he expected after the way he started the conversation. It took a moment for him to realize just why it was being said and he tilted his head.]

Good coffee?

[fashionglasses]

Fantastic.

[afoolshope]

That's not enough for me to go on.

[fashionglasses]

It's very good.

[He's not sure? What else to say?]

Best in Yongen-Jaya.
