Your OC goes on a date with the OC above

Posted 6 years, 9 months ago (Edited 2 years, 9 months ago) by Archaeus Chartreuse PicklePantry

So hey, we've all wondered it.
There's kissing.
There's marriage.
But what about dating?

What if your OC dated the OC above?
Where would they go? How would they react? How did they even meet? Would they go on another date?

- NSFW stuff better go to PMs
- It's a game for all ages, but please post characters that are 18+ Ages must be listed
- It doesn't have to be a romantic date, either. It can be a friend date
- Read the other character's profile (show proof by writing the character's name in the post and at least one tidbit from their profile)
- Wait for 2 people before posting again, unless 5 days pass
- If 5 days pass you can reply to yourself, or you can pick any of the characters already listed on that page

I'll volunteer this guy since he's easy to please.

Heron Aarix

Oh, god. Heron had agreed to go on this date only thanks to heckling from his friends. Writing a dating profile had been radioactive mortification in and of itself, but now he's at a coffeeshop with his first (and only) match, and it's going as swimmingly as Heron had anticipated. Ayesha is every bit as bubbly as her photos, and he is just as disappointing as his own. It was a pity they didn't arrange this date somewhere it would be possible to get very, very drunk, because Heron is in not equipped to deal with smalltalk otherwise, let alone with a giggly dragon-girl.

They continue to wait for coffee--god, how long did it take. Heron folds his arms loosely while he looks, alternatively, at either her glittery mascara or into the middle-distance behind her depending on if he wants to think or not. She's being doing her utmost, but there's only so much a normie could do to keep a conversation with Heron alive.

"So." Heron forces himself to actually look at her. Despite his concerted effort not to look like a serial killer, his voice remains flat as a pancake and his gaze is exactly as uncomfortably interrogative as it always is. "What do you do for a living."

The high point of this meeting had been the joke about them both needing good overhead clearance. All downhill from there.

⬇ omg 😭😭😭😭 sweetheart

En Litari II PicklePantry

"Thanks for letting me come with you. I'll pay for the food, too, by the way. It'll be my, uh, way of paying you back for saving me at the beach." Thank goodness it was nighttime. The only lights were from the restaurant they were at, and it cast a red light that hid En's bright red face. Every time he thought back to trying to exercise with Heron and nearly drowning, he felt the incredible urge to groan very loudly and run away. Thankfully, Heron was just intimidating enough to scare him out of that urge.
This place felt very... active. En had very little experience with the real world, and the Friday night parties that came with it. Restaurants filled with casual young adults that just... chilled, it was a foreign concept to him, so he stuck close to Heron like a little kid lost in a grocery store. He glanced up at the musician, who didn't seem to acknowledge his existence the entirety of the move here. Technically he didn't say En could tag along, but he didn't say no, either, so... that-that counted, right?
Silently, and awkwardly, En sat at the same small table as Heron. God, he felt so out of place here. Not only did he look like some kind of dweeb, but he felt young, like the people here were judging him. He looked over at Heron, then quickly averted it down to the menu. "Oh, they've got onion rings!" he perked slightly. "I-I might get those, what about you?" As he nervously looked back at the guitarist, he paused. The light that was cast down on Heron, with those hard colors contrasting with the dark shadows, it outlined his features, and that distant glower of his. Even though he was so intimidating and serious, En couldn't help but admire him. He was a talented musician, and a strong athlete, and his knowledge of places like this must have meant that he knew a lot about the city life too, right? Heron was a cool guy, wasn't he?
Suddenly, a thought popped up. "You know," En started. "With just the two of us eating, it's kinda like a date right?"
The moment those words left his mouth he realized it was a terrible, terrible mistake.
"A-A FRIEND date! Right?? Th-That exists, right? Friend date! Friend... lunch! Dinner? Friend??" Thank God the waitress came in time to save him. "S-So do you want some onion rings??"

You can reply to him, his evil self, or his older self!

Lior confusedthing

(Will I ever stop apologizing for throwing this elf at you? Probably not. Will I ever stop throwing him at you? Probably not. Anyway, today is anxious elf day and I may have accidentally written a lot. So have a spoiler for that! ~~(Currently proofreading and hoping the english language works for me today...)~~)

It had been a while since he had last seen En. A while in which he had to learn that there was pretty much no one he knew who could actually give him advice on... things like these. His brother... well, was as knowledgeable as Lior was, just a bit more direct and kind of deadpan and Thallan was unable to actually keep this kind of... acquaintances. Gods, that sounded horrible. Those were not acquaintances, that was- that sounded so superficial! But he guessed for some people it was. Anyone else he might have been able to ask would just have made fun of him, he was sure.

So he was just as clueless as before, but at least he had kind of planned to actually talk and not just freeze and stare at the poor guy. He would see how that goes, he thought.
Why was he so nervous already? It was not like he had never met En before or as if they never went on a da- uh, hike. Maybe the fact that he was not really sure what exactly they were was what made him nervous. He was fairly sure they were more than acquaintances, friends, possibly? Friends who occasionally asked if kissing the other was okay? That- did friends do that? Some probably did... just the thought of it made his face feel warm.

Whatever they were, he was excited to see En again! Nervous, but excited. When he finally saw the familiar face he almost felt like running, not sure whether towards him or away from him because he felt like his heart would burst at any given moment. "Hi- hi!" he greeted with a bright smile, on a whim deciding to just hug the king before he would freeze in place again, as the plan for today was no freezing in place. When his mind caught up to his actions he quickly let go again, his face turning a dark blue color. "I- I am. So sorry. I- it's just so nice to see you again." Lior mumbled awkwardly. "So thank- thank you for taking the time to meet me, I- I'm sure you must be busy." the elf gave a small but genuine smile, before remembering what he had planned for today. Right! He placed the coat he was still carrying in En's arms. "You said you don't like the cold but it is cold here so... you might want to take this." Lior suggested, as if he had not just pushed it into the king's arms. "I can- can not possibly match the dinner we had, but- but I wanted to show you something nonetheless." He would just avoid thinking it was a date, even though there was not really anything else it could be called. N-not because he did not want to date En! ~~Gods knew he did~~. ...but because he was trying to stay somewhat calm and right now he was very, very nervous. Still unsure about the situation and if En would even like the place or if he would just look stupid for thinking this was appropriate or something 'special' even though it was very special to him- aaand he got ahead of himself again. "A-anyway, let's go! And- how have you been?"

It was a somewhat long walk, that initially led deeper into the castle, then into some hallways that did not seem like they were open to the public before they eventually ended up outside of the castle and in the middle of an ancient forest, judging by the size of the trees. "I'm... sorry if this way seemed a bit complicated, it- it just allows to avoid a lot of people that would either want to ask questions or come along." Lior sighed, giving En an apologetic look. "We are almost there now, though." While the trees did prevent the wind from being too harsh it was still fairly cold and dark, mostly lit by some of the glowing mushrooms that were growing out of the trees, as well as some smaller plants that were growing along the barely recognizable path. If one was not used to wandering here it might have been easy to get lost, with no clear roads or anything like that.

"Oh, also-" Lior began, not sure how to even continue. "I- kind of wanted to apologize for last time." he gave En a quick glance before looking up ahead again, hoping the color on his face was not too visible. "You know, when I kind of... froze?" That was an uncomfortable memory. "I just- did not really see that coming and I was overwhelmed and didn't know what to say and then I said nothing and that was not great and I'm sorry." now he was talking way too quickly but still hoped it was cohesive enough. "You- you know, I like you ...a lot..." the elf sighed, again trying to make out any reaction on the king's face. "You just make me... nervous. ...in- in a good way! But I never seem to know what to say or say what I think." which was very frustrating.

After almost running into a tree because he was distracted (and what he elegantly decided to ignore happened in the first place) Lior took another turn that led them inside what looked like a cave that was open in the center. One may have recognized some rather unique flowers that grew around the tree that was standing in the middle, with leaves that almost looked white in the moonlight. "This- is actually not a cave, it's an old tree." Lior explained. "So it's... a tree growing inside of an ancient dead tree. It used to be a shrine, but the deity it belonged to has long since died and been forgotten..." At least by most people. Of course he had heard stories but at this point in time they were just that. "I-it's one of my favorite places. So- I thought even if I can't do much else I can show you this." He had already prepared a speech about how he was sorry that this was not that big of a deal and may very well just have been a boring old tree and some plants to En but he held it back for now, hoping he would not need it.
"I did also get some tea earlier, because, you know, it's cold and so on..." Lior mentioned, a bit lost for words once again while anxiously watching the king's reaction, so him casually pointing at a basket that was almost disappearing between the plants and tall grass was kind of pointless. "There are also some things to eat..." Oh, he was rambling again because he was nervous... what a surprise.

v that was lovely, thank you so much! <3

Zander Liams ThatTahlia

Zander hadn't been on a date before. Well not with another guy. Even though he was Bisexual, his gang tended to set him up with girls who just weren't his type. The other thing that tended to stop him from dating anyone was that he was in a gang. No, he didn't do any criminal activity. He prided himself on being more robin hood-like than before. The gang consisted of dragonborns and other miscellaneous races. He was the only human-like creature in there so it was a bit harder for them to find him, anyone. When he got the news that they had found an elf for him to meet he got, a little scared. He was pretty tall and they were describing him as on the smaller side. Zander on a good day stood 6'10. This was due to the werewolf genes that ran through him. He did his best trying to find out what he could about this Lior. Heading to the venue was no issue. It took his chauffeur maybe 10 minutes to get to the expensive restaurant. As he got out he spotted who he presumed was Lior. The little elf looked slightly uncomfortable in the busy area, Zander waved his chauffeur away before heading towards him.

"Hello, there. I'm Liam!" He greeted as he bent down a little bit to seem less intimidating to him. "I hope you don't mind if we don't eat here, my friends tend to think that first dates should be expensive." He chuckled a little bit as he offered his hand to Lior. As soon as Lior took his hand he started heading towards the forest that was to the right of the restaurant. He guided Lior around the fallen trees and thick brush towards a clearing. Past the clearing was a cliff that lead down to the seashore. This was Zander's favorite place to go and he hoped Lior enjoyed it as much as he did. In the middle of the clearing was a little lean to with a little blanket on the ground.

"Come, sit. I have some different fruits if you are hungry, we can continue to get to know each other." He said as he plopped down on the blanket. Flowers surrounded the wood that built the leanto. Flowers also speckled the field in front of them.

Anyone is fair game, just link who you're talking to.

Allegretto PicklePantry

"I've never met a nephalem before, let alone go on a date with one. Forgive me if I get some things wrong," Allegro laughed lightly. Although a prince, to take Ajax out on a date through the city he had to disguise himself with street clothes and a cap that could hide his white hair. This particular place he'd brought him to was the center of a nearby city, and a popular tourist attraction.

There were street performers playing music and doing tricks to those that would watch, among them being someone that acted as a living statue that Allegro insisted they take a picture with. The prince laughed lightly until a soft sound caught his attention. He followed it towards two performers singing a ballad, then turned to hold a hand out to the nephalam. "Care for a dance?"
Although he'd gone to the city plenty of times, there were still many things Allegro didn't know, one of which was NOT ballroom dancing. Ajax ended up having to teach him more modern dances, and Allegro laughed and enjoyed himself.

With the sun starting to set, the prince lead Ajax towards the food stalls, getting them both a few dishes. "Oftentimes I'm here by myself, so it's nice to have someone to spend times with," Allegro commented when he sat down, mixing his food. He tossed Ajax a quick smile, nudging him playfully with his elbow. "And such good company, too. I hope we can do this again sometime."

KEKEKEKEK

If only Olethros knew how empty Allegro's head really was, would she be as nervous around him? Currently he stared off into space while going over some music in his mind, today's choice being Tchaikovsky. Yes, that sounded nice. Let's request the royal symphony orchestra to perform that.
The only times he'd stop thinking about that music was when he'd heard a much faster rhythm coming from Olethros's heart. It sounded nervous, but more guilty than anything. This wasn't the same kind of guilt he heard from someone hiding a sad secret-- although hints of that were there, but it wasn't the main theme he got. It reminded him of empaths, yet something was still there that made him curious. Was it possibly a learning curve of a plant being human? How fascinating that in itself was.

"I'm sure it must be overwhelming," nodded the prince. "There are all kinds of new instruments now, not to mention new styles." Even now he found new kinds of music like electronic fascinating.
"I have a lyre, yes, but we would have to go back to the castle to get it," Allegro answered with a sad smile. "I wouldn't want you to miss the sunset. It's as you said, a wonderful feeling, especially when you have someone so nice to spend it with it." His smile warmed. "We don't have to play music. Sometimes the silence can be fine on its own, and if not, well, nature will give us a song with the wind."

Olethros Vapor

Allegretto was so weird. That wasn't in a bad way -- not at all, Olethros enjoyed his company -- but all of those thoughts hiding in his head... What were they? Olethros couldn't understand him, and that was part of what made him so comforting and yet so disconcerting for her. She, nonetheless, took the opportunity to spend time with him. Her idea of a good time wasn't attending operas or nice restaurants as she thought his was, and while she figured that might have been more fitting to him, for she didn't quite know him, she knew that anything to do with crowds would end with her making a fool out of herself and vomiting on whatever nice ass floor they walked upon out of sheer terror.

So, there they were. In a botanical garden. The flowers shifted in the spring breeze, the wisteria trellis they walked under smelled pleasant, and the trees were so expertly planted to provide spots of shade away from the afternoon sun. There were still people roaming the park, but not enough for Olethros to keel over right away, just enough to allow her to speak without having to hold her breath between words.

"I don't know much of music anymore. It's changed so much from since before I was a plant." she said to him, "I once played a lyre, so long ago, but... it is nothing of your level." He was a true maestro, after all. She was surprised he didn't turn his back on his responsibilities solely to play. She was surprised he had other things to talk about, that he was intelligent beyond his pursuits. The more she thought about it, the more she realized her deity lover was more lacking in what he spoke of.

"I may still know how to play, though, if you happen to... to somehow own a lyre as well." Olethros then told Allegretto. That people-pleaser in her wanted to show off to him. "I always thought it was..." Romantic? "..Nice. Nice to play in places like this. The color of the flowers, the hum of the music, and the sunset behind you -- I've always loved it. Would you feel the same?"

Calix Nerium kordesii

A date with someone he had never heard of before? What possibly could go wrong? Calix was not one to reject the slim possibility of finding the one by dipping out on tis date his dumb brother had set up for him, saying: "It'll be good for you! How long has it been since you've even thought about seeing someone?" He simply had not the time before, it didn't mean he wasn't constantly thinking about it. He wanted desperately to live the life of one of those protagonists in the latest romance novel he had read. Oh to be swept off his feet into the arms of someone he loved! It was a fantastic dream, and it was just that, a dream. He didn't hold high expectations for this so called "date", nor would he stick around if he found the other person to be boring, or annoying.

And so he took made his way down through a small park, the lake and a bench to be their meeting place. It seemed to be devoid of life and he secretly wondered if this was all a ploy to prank him or something. If it was, he was going to kill that brother of his. But soon enough those thoughts were pushed out of his mind as he spotted a woman sitting on the bench they were supposed to be meeting at. He walked up loud enough for her to hear, moving around the bench and offering her a sweet smile, "Olethros, correct?" He asked, his hands behind his back as he continued to introduce himself, "I'm Calix, it's nice to meet you." He said, before taking a seat on the other side of the bench, giving her plenty of room.

She certainly was not what he was expecting, with her drooping black hair and dark green eyes that seemed to not be wholly focused. She smelled of plants, the scar on her neck taking Calix's attention for just a moment before he looked back up at her face, offering her another sweet smile, "this place certainly is peaceful, a lot nicer than being in any crowded restaurant." He said, eyes going over to stare at the lake in front of them, softening a bit as he looked out over it, "haven't enjoyed a view like this is a while."

NOOO I SHOULD HAVE CLAIMED. HOLD UP WHILE I TYPE SOMETHING OUT

(this bit is for kordesii)

(incase its not clear for whatever reason the italicized text is just him monologuing in his head)

"Hey there. You uh, you like noodles?"

Caspian was pretty good at picking up random guys to spend a night or two with, but an actual date was something he hadn't done in years. He asked a dude he thought was cute for his number and arranged a little meeting with him-- then realized that talking in the real world usually required something called eye contact. He felt himself blushing a little every time Calix's green eyes gazed towards his general direction. Already off to an awkward start, aren't cha?

He looked at the man across from his seat. At least he didn't look like he hated noodles?

His hair is kind of short. Did he cut it? He'd look nice with long hair.

Calix smiled at his date and Caspian soon ran out of things to say. Damn, he's a looker... but he's starting to scare me. What if I fuck up?

"Nice shirt. Kinda looks like something my friend would wear."

Come on, really?

It was loud in the restaurant-- a little too loud. A little hot, too; he didn't get a seat next to the fan and it almost felt a little nauseating. He felt his anxiety kick up-- but he couldn't lose it in front of some guy he barely knew.

Especially not after he spent an hour and a half doing his hair and makeup.

"So uh... tell me about yourself. What do you do for a living?"

...

"Oh." A strange sensation came over Caspian.

So he's just like my mom.

A rather nasty memory unlocked itself in his brain.

This is not going to work out.

this bit is for twizzlytwist

(hehe these two fellas have interacted in a different thread so i thought it would be kinda fun to reference it) this is the thread i'm talking about btw

Oh god.

This guy again.

Caspian recalled his little verbal scuffle N'arfi a few days back-- but Mark really had to try and get them to get along, hadn't he? After all, N'arfi made Mark breakfast like once... and it was good, apparently. (another forum reference hdfsahsdfj)

Cas looked at his date, sitting on a bench near a rather pretty view of the shore, with a slight amount of disdain (not like it wasn't reciprocated anyway.)

It was a rather mild night... but a heavy tension hung in the air.

He almost itched for a fight after N'arfi told him "he'd be dinner" to... whatever it was they were talking about. Hah! Dinner! As if.

"Sorry for uh... making fun of your scars the other day." Alright, maybe he is a little sorry.

But he still didn't like him (even if he thought he was cute).

"So, uhm. You dance. And cook, I suppose. What do you make?"

Bingo, a piece of common ground.

...

He accidentally let his spite tune out everything his partner said. Damn, looks like I really am a bitch.

"Man, I don't know. I'm real basic. I just make noodles once in a while. So why do you even do this whole 'hero of everything' thing? If the world was ending or something I'd just grab a bottle and chug it. I don't even care anymore. Everyone else can go uh... deal with it themselves."

...oh. So the fellow didn't have a choice.

"Yikes. Sorry to hear, I suppose."

Truth be told-- Caspian did feel a little bad for getting into the... whatever you call it. Argument? Disagreement?

...but he was too afraid to apologize.

I guess we'll call it a night from here.
