Reply to one of my characters' headers (you don't have to respond to the flavortext) and put a 1 in your subject line! I'll reply with a 2 and so on. We'll count them down to 20. Then the date is over! Time to swap seats! Where is this date taking place? It doesn't really matter! This scenario is bendable to most game settings. AU's are also available, feel free to contact me or ask OOCly before we start counting down comments. Or it could just take place in the void or some Cosmic Denny's! The point of this meme is to test out chemistry or just watch hilarity unfold!

And who knows, you might get to go home with someone!

Go get 'em, tiger!

_{[Henry slowly looks down at his stripey arms. This is his life now. He nods. Yes, he does prune himself. It sort of hurts, but it's important to encourage new growth.]}

[Right, well, that sure didn't break the ice very well.]

Not much of a talker, are you?

_{[Henry continues looking at the table and leans away from the candle just so.]}

I'm...sorry. It wasn't my idea to come here. I'm not sure how it even happened.

Happens to the best of us, pal. First you're having a drink by yourself minding your own business and next thing you know you've proposed to a mop. Or you got kicked out for starting a fight with the whole bar.

[That happens more than it probably should.]

_{[The tree creases his mossy brow, suddenly concerned for Dante.]}

I hope...it was a nice mop?

[Dante should be more concerned for Dante, but he never got that memo.]

Yeah, never got her number though. Too bad, it would have been a great wedding.

[Is he kidding or not? It's impossible to say.]

_{[THERE IT IS.]

[The tiniest hint of a smile in the strange mouth cut into the birch man's face.]}

That's too bad.

[HAH, there we go. Tiniest victory, but a victory nonetheless.]

[A privately amused smile.]

Guess I've just got rotten luck with women.

[That was a mop, Dante.]

What about you?

_{[He tenses up a little when the conversation is turned back his way. His leafy ears pin back anxiously.]}

Me? I'm not-- I mean--it's been a rough year.

_{[Getting sucked into the otherworld, having to murder ghost versions of his neighbors, trying to save the one person who sort of likes him from a cultist serial killer that thinks his apartment is a uterus...]}

[Hm. He raises an eyebrow, frowning slightly.]

I hear that. [When's the last time he's not had a rough year?] Not to be nosy, but you seem kinda down. This speed dating thing not really your scene?

[Yeah he figures it has nothing to do with that, but he'll offer an out. Not everyone wants to go talking about their problems.]

[But some do.]

_{[He props his elbows on the table and holds his head in his big twisted root hands.]}

I don't respond well to peer pressure.

_{[Especially when they include a harpy and a manticore and a smirking troll. That'll teach him to tease his brother.]}

[Well now he just looks confused. Peer pressure?]

What d'you mean by that?

[What's nibbling your roots, treeguy?]

My brother and my friends put me up to this. There really isn't anything wrong with staying indoors as long as you have a window.

See, I'd agree with you there, but aren't you a tree? Don't you need sunlight?

That's what the window's for.
