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!

HAH?!

KUGISAKI WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE???

[ yuji thought he was going to get to meet New People!! running into nobara on a speed dating gig is the most awkward scenario!!!]

[kugisaki]

[ even if itadori is sitting right in front of her, her brain still hasn't quite processed that it's... actually... him. she's somehow looking at him, but not at him. it's only when his loud ass "HAH?!" begins to ring in her ears that she actually snaps out of it.

and she looks just as mortified as he does, if not More. ]

Itadori... ITA—dori? [ whew, she almost forgot to use her inside voice. so— she's hissing at him now. ] Keep your voice down, idiot! Pretend like you don't know me!!

What are you doing here?

[majide]

I just yelled your name and asked what you were doing here. I don't think I can pretend not to know you.

[ the train for that has left the station.

plus it's not like he's the one who loses out in knowing kugisaki, unlike the other way around. ]

What am I doing here?? What are you doing here?! Are you here to get a p-partner?

[kugisaki]

I mean, you could've just been one of my creepy stalkers for all I know. [ she waves her hand dismissively. ] Work on your acting chops, Itadori!

[ she leans against the back of her chair, shrugging her shoulders as nonchalantly as possible, as if she wasn't just losing her cool just a minute ago over running into itadori here. of all places. ]

Ah. Somebody posted an Instagram story with this address saying that this would be a talent scouting event... Tch. Clearly not.

[ honestly she'd fall for a pyramid scheme if it came down to it ]

Are you here to get a partner?

[majide]

You have creepy stalkers? [ did the stalkers want to die...? ] Ei, Kugisaki, you think I got a shot in acting?? I kinda wondered what it would be like to become an actor. I might get so famous, I could end up in a movie with Jennifer Lawrence!!

[ OK don't get too excited ]

A talent scouting event? You're still trying to get into that line of business? [ he looks sorry for whoever decides to manage or hire her... ]

[ yuji looks flustered at her accusation ] UH NO? not necessarily... but i mean if it happens, it happens...
