The Log:

((The message probably came around noon: hey! the blind dates will be tonight at seven. make sure you dress warm, it was pretty chilly last year. thanks for signing up! Now, for some of you might have come as a surprise: "I was signed up for what?" though others already know it was coming for them. Either way, you chose to see exactly what it was you were signed up for. Perhaps a secret lover wanted to meet up with you and were too shy to ask? Wherever you come from, the roof of Latimir is your destination.

The weather was only so-so. Winds blow over the cold roof, table cloths of low quality shutter at their touch. It seems Greece has a campfires set up in three place carefully protected by metal bases to prevent fire damage, and around each tables are set up. At the very center, Greece is sitting, and when he sees someone approach, smiles, bringing him or her to the designated spot. He'll bring the small dinner when your date has arrived! He returns to his spot, clearly attending a soup at the center of the event.

The table seems to be set with only a paper flower set in a small dish. Your number, in black, fading marker stands upright before you, and your partner's number sits across from you. Around you may be the other guests, whom you may approach and talk with if you see fit.

If you look at the other side of the card, you may find a few hints and tips to get conversation going. "Cats" "I can kick your ass" "Scones" "Flowers" and the like are scribbled onto every card.

It's a bit nerve wrecking to arrive before your date, but don't be too worried. Eventually, he or she will show up, and if you were lucky, your date and you won't already hate eachother. It's funny how things work.



The number matches are as follows:
(13 - 15) (4 - 11) (8 - 9) (7 - 14) (1 - 10) (6 - 16) (5 - 12) (2 - 3) (17 - 18)

Comment here with your number in the subject line. Make sure you look to see if your match hasn't commented already. When commenting TO your blind date at first, add your number too!!! If you want to mingle with other guests, that's TOOOOTALLY allowed! And finally, if you need to "godmod" Greece a little as far as food things go, that's fine!

And finally, if you need conversation prompts, forgot/lost your number, or have any other questions, my aim is Maypie Lord, or you can PM the account!))

And you think the person that did it to you was trying to be nice?

[bauhinia]

I think they might've meant well.

[eyeforaneye]

If it was a brother of yours, most likely.

[bauhinia]

Most likely. Maybe they think I'm lonely.

[eyeforaneye]

You have family here. How could you be lonely?

[bauhinia]

Not that kinda lonely.

[eyeforaneye]

I don't understand, then.

[bauhinia]

Y'know, like, the kinda lonely where you need one on one companionship with that special person or something.

[eyeforaneye]

...

Do you have an example?

[bauhinia]

Like Japan and Marco.

[eyeforaneye]

Ah. So someone is trying to find you a lover?

[bauhinia]

[ Thank you for being perceptive so he didn't have to be any more hideous, because he totally would have. ]

Bingo.

[eyeforaneye]

[ Show me your wall of wonders. ]

Sounds pointless.

[bauhinia]

[ No, I hide those for a reason. ]

You could say it is, yeah.

[eyeforaneye]

It's something you want?

[bauhinia]

Not especially.

[eyeforaneye]

Then why bother coming?

[bauhinia]

It'd be rude to stand someone up.

[eyeforaneye]

Don't tell me that you're obsessed with politeness as well.

[bauhinia]

Being polite and being a decent person are different things.

[eyeforaneye]

About that we agree. I hate false airs.

[bauhinia]

Better the ugly truth than a pretty lie?

[eyeforaneye]

...

I won't say one way or the other on that.

[bauhinia]

All right, that's fair.

[eyeforaneye]

It's conditional. I'm sure you can agree.
