My Kingdom For a Meme!

➔ Randomizer style, because it's my favorite.
Option one: hit up www.random.org/ and use the randomizer to pick a number between 1 and 6. Now match that number to the themes below and drop a comment with your muse, setting up the scene.  Let us know in the subject line what number you got.  Other people will respond to you and RP it out!
Option two: just drop a blank comment and I (and other people, if they want) will roll and respond, noting the scenario in the subject line and setting up the scene.  
➔ Multiple threads are cool!  You guys can play with each other too, not just me, if you want.
➔  For the complete randomizer experience, feel free to do what I'm gonna do and take a randomizer to your muse list to figure out who to tag people with.  B)

<ONE>
BIG BROTHER HOUSE.  Congrats, our characters are now on a reality TV program together!  It can either be one that locks them up in a house for a long long time until they all go crazy, or it can chronicle the events of their exciting lives together in a happening beach house.  Or Survivor.  Everyone loves Survivor.  PICK ONE AND GO.

<TWO>
BLIND DATE  Someone set our characters up on a blind date!  This can only end in wacky hijinks, surely.  

<THREE>
LAST MAN ON EARTH.   Maybe, like in the Langoliers, you were sleeping on a plane when it happened.  Maybe you were both napping at a bus stop.  Maybe you both woke up separately and are just finding each other.  Either way, every other person on the planet has mysteriously disappeared without a trace.  Except you two. 

<FOUR>
FANCY MASQUERADE BALL WITH OH SO AMBIGUOUS MYSTERY.  For the rich and famous or those who are pretending to be, for some reason.  SOMEHOW YOU SNAGGED AN INVITE.  But perhaps all is not as it seems ... and the stroke of midnight will prove it.

<FIVE>
ORIGIN STORY or HOW TO WIN SIDEKICKS AND INFLUENCE PEOPLE.   Radioactive spiders, nuclear meltdowns, weird space anomalies, field trips gone horribly wrong: either way SOMETHING is going to happen to imbue both our characters with superpowers at the same time.  Will they work together, or become ARCH NEMESES???    Alternately, if our characters both already have superpowers, they're now part of a superhero/villain team, and today's their first day working together.  Go.

<SIX>
PERIOD DRAMA.   Welcome to AU-land.  Put our characters in a different time period - the wild wild west, World War 2, Victorian England, cavemen, King Arthur's court, ANYWHERE that interests you.  They've always lived there.  And now they're running into each other, as they do their AU-y things.  Just roll with it, man.  OR alternately, one of them has always lived there and the other one just got transported there from the real world.  Hilarity ensues.
 
<OR>  MAKE UP YOUR OWN!

[The redness doesn't fade, even when she scrubs at her cheek with the heel of her palm. She's torn between being deliriously happy and shocked out of her wits.]

Y-yeah, me either...

[That's a total lie. Tatsuki must have plotted this out as a surprise for her best friend. Orihime can practically see her, winking and giving the 'okay' sign, telling her that if she screws up this perfect opportunity then she'll get punched in the head. ...Yikes.]

So, ah...you're...you're interested in dating now?

[identity profile] cloakedinpower.livejournal.com 2011-07-07 09:10 pm (UTC)(link)
[Tatsuki had told him, on the other hand, to 'be open to things he'd never maybe thought about before'. At least his date wasn't a guy. He'd almost been afraid that was what she meant.

Either way, her question throws him off.]


Uh, it was something to do, I guess, to get Tatsuki off my back about it. I figured it couldn't be that bad. [Maybe.]
leekspins: (Salute!)

[personal profile] leekspins 2011-07-07 09:12 pm (UTC)(link)
[...Oh. Well. That's good, right? It means he wasn't hoping to see someone else and getting frustrated that it was just Orihime, right? She hoped so, anyway!]

Well...I've never been on a date before, so I don't have a lot of experience...but I'll do my best to make sure it won't be bad for you!

[identity profile] cloakedinpower.livejournal.com 2011-07-07 09:47 pm (UTC)(link)
Well, I'm not worried about it now. [He even smiles!]

After all, it's not like we haven't ate together before. Now there's no pressure or anything though. What a relief, huh?
leekspins: (Self-Restraint)

[personal profile] leekspins 2011-07-07 09:53 pm (UTC)(link)
Ah ha ha ha!

[It's good that he's not freaking out. But it's bad that he's not seeing her as date material. 'SO CHANGE THAT!' ImaginaryTatsuki shouts, and she inwardly quails. But...but she can't! Then he'd feel awkward and she doesn't want to do that to him!]

Yeah...it's a relief!

[She thinks back to something Tatsuki said before, a long time ago.]

Anou...maybe...we can go to the arcade after we're done eating?

[identity profile] cloakedinpower.livejournal.com 2011-07-08 01:00 am (UTC)(link)
Sure, why not? It isn't like I had anything else to do tonight. [Assuming nothing HORRIBLE comes up, but now he's less worried about that since... Inoue would understand.

He scoops up a menu, before realizing something and looking at her over it with a raised eyebrow.]


I'm surprised Tatsuki got you to agree to this.
leekspins: (Blank Stare)

1/2

[personal profile] leekspins 2011-07-08 01:04 am (UTC)(link)
[OH NO!!! Deer in headlights!]

Ah...
leekspins: (Ha ha oh gosh!)

[personal profile] leekspins 2011-07-08 01:05 am (UTC)(link)
Well...she said I'd be doing her a big favor. I thought maybe there was a guy who liked her and wasn't going to give up asking for her hand in marriage or something.

[And that's true.]

But I'm kind of excited to try something new anyway!

[identity profile] cloakedinpower.livejournal.com 2011-07-08 01:12 am (UTC)(link)
Maybe next time around you'll actually get to meet someone new, huh?

[He raises the menu again to find something to order] You just might want to find a new matchmaker, instead of someone who tries to make a joke out of the whole thing.
leekspins: (Headtilt)

[personal profile] leekspins 2011-07-08 01:15 am (UTC)(link)
I'm not disappointed! Not even a little bit.

[She feels she can probably get away admitting that and still come across as safe. Cheerfully she plucks up her menu. ...E-everything looks good...]

Kurosaki-kun...are we just hanging out, or is this still a date?

[identity profile] cloakedinpower.livejournal.com 2011-07-08 04:02 pm (UTC)(link)
Huh? Oh, uhhh [The question seems to take him a little by surprise, but then since she's looking at the menu, he expertly figures out exactly why she's asking! Obviously!]

I can still... pay if you want.
leekspins: (FLAIL)

[personal profile] leekspins 2011-07-08 04:12 pm (UTC)(link)
Heh?!

[No that's not it! The menu collapses onto the table as she flaps her arms.]

No no, that's not it! I've just heard that the guy orders for the girl if it's a date, and I was having a hard time deciding because it all looked really good, and I kind of wanted to try that anyway!

[identity profile] cloakedinpower.livejournal.com 2011-07-09 04:29 am (UTC)(link)
[He cracks a relieved smile and scratches the back of his head, looking back down at the choices as he lays the menu down flat in front of him] Oh, well in that case... [Orihime likes... the weirdest shit so he'll just pick something exotic looking and point it out] how about this? We could both try it.
leekspins: (Friendly Laughter)

[personal profile] leekspins 2011-07-09 05:05 am (UTC)(link)
Oh, that's a good idea! Okay!

[She nods eagerly in agreement.]

And don't worry, I can pay for me. I'm getting a new job at that bakery, so I'll be super rich!

[identity profile] cloakedinpower.livejournal.com 2011-07-10 03:47 am (UTC)(link)
If you're sure. I really don't mind, and maybe if I do pay, then Tatsuki can't get on our case for not even having a date in the first place.
leekspins: (Fake Laugh)

[personal profile] leekspins 2011-07-10 07:04 am (UTC)(link)
Y-yeah...Tatsuki-chan can get pretty scary about things like that, h-ha ha...!

[And she's not really sure which of them would get chewed out and/or hit the worst - Ichigo for not being a PERFECT gentleman, or Orihime for missing out on the golden opportunity Tatsuki set up for her. But she still doesn't want to be a burden on Ichigo, OR his wallet.]

I'll pay you back in secret, then!
