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!

[ yuji looks excited as he meets the new person he's paired up with. he gives a friendly wave before glancing at the card to read the bit of info about this new person/potential friend. ]

Just living the life of an honest student. I feel that!

[fashionglasses]

[Ren decides immediately that Yuji is almost definitely not living the life of an honest student. It takes one to know one, Itadori.

[He smiles obligingly even so.]

What do you do?

[Yes, this is a loaded question. He is holding up the proverbial question gun. It sounds rather pleasant though. He's not here to judge.]

[majide]

Other than being a student, not much. [ since they're in a speed dating event, yuji doesn't really have the time to explain all of the other things going on with him. like how there's a demon living inside of his body because he had stupidly eaten said demon's finger. and because of that, his fate has been decided by a group of old powerful jujutsu sorcerers, that he must be killed after eating all 20 fingers so that sukuna (the demon) may never rise again.

yeah. that might be too much for a first date. ] I like to watch movies during my free time. What about you?

[fashionglasses]

[x]

I like movies.

[majide]

[ !!! they have something in common! this is a great start! ]

What kind of movies do you like to watch?

[fashionglasses]

[the kind that give u mad ups, bro]

Any kind.

I like the theaters.

[It's an experience. the kind that gives u mad ups, bro]

[majide]

Theaters are great! It's got the smell of popcorn and candy - Oh, and around the city, there are some fancy theaters popping up that use high-quality recliner chairs! And they even serve you popcorn!!

I haven't tried them out though, they're pretty expensive...

[fashionglasses]

I know.

I live in Tokyo.

[majide]

Really?? I recently moved here from Sendai.

What's your favorite spot in Tokyo?!

[fashionglasses]

Me too.

I like Shibuya.

[majide]

Shibuya is Great!!! [ whoops, he didn't mean to get so excited. ]

I was there recently. Man, there's so much to do there. So many sights to see! So many varieties of food to eat! So many people. Sendai seems like a whole different world when you compare it to Shibuya.

[fashionglasses]

[Ren nods in agreement. Tokyo in general is certainly something - almost a bit overwhelming even, but Ren kind of likes that sort of thing. It's exciting. Never a dull moment, though...that has more to do with the cognitive world than it does with the city itself. But they've both claimed to be living "the life of an honest student", so clearly any talk of that is out of the question.]

Have you been to Shinjuku?

[majide]

[ oh yeah, for sure. there are definitely some things about tokyo that's exciting in more ways than what's considered normal. but yuji can't really talk about all that to... just anyone. so. ]

Yeah, I got to go around Shinjuku recently. It's fun there! Sooo many awesome things you can do. I actually have a list but I've barely gotten halfway through it.

Do you have any recommendations?
