OPEN MATCHMAKING POST

Stolen from Lyndon because it's a good idea. Here's how this goes!

1. You leave a comment with a character journal you want matched up!

It's important that in this comment you include if you want F/F, F/M, M/M, or are open to whatever, as well as what kinds of characters you think might ship well with yours, and like... a quick summary of their personality for me! Also specify if you're here for smut or not or if you want assumed CR or a particular relationship stage or... whatever other information you want to put in. Age range, certain characters/canons you definitely don't want, whatever! No specific character requests though, that's important.

2. I will reply with an offer!

You are obviously free to veto or respond or whatever, but I'll run through my muselist (or inevitably for someone make a whole new account) and find someone and reply with an OOC hashing-things-out comment. If it works, reply with a starter or an affirmation if you want me to start!

3. ~can you feel the love tonight~

Better than nothing. [She looks up and--] Are those real?

[She means the, uh, wings.]

[heavenscorpse]

[V/V can figure that out, thankfully, and she flutters her wings a bit.]

Yes. No? It's complicated. But they're definitely attached and if you pulled on them it would hurt, so yes.

[lackinginfaith]

I'd ask something insensitive, but not all winged beings. I'm Caren.

[heavenscorpse]

I'm V/V. It's very nice to meet you, Caren.

Do you come here a lot? This is my first time, so I don't know if I'm doing it right.

[lackinginfaith]

I come here when certain people think speed dating will be fun. I... made the mistake of telling someone that I wouldn't ever find love because duty comes first, and that someone told someone who likes to make everyone's business hers, and she told everyone.

[heavenscorpse]

She probably thinks love is very important and wants you to be happy.

[That's how meddling people are, or at least V/V thinks so.]

Can you have love and still do your duty? It sounds like that would be best for everybody.

[lackinginfaith]

It would be nice, but would anyone deal with someone running off constantly for months on end, or not being able to come home with them?

[heavenscorpse]

Maybe, if it was for love.

I don't know for sure. I've never felt like that yet. But that's what I've heard about it, that love conquers all obstacles.

[lackinginfaith]

You sound like someone who's only read about it in books.

[heavenscorpse]

I've also felt it from other people.

[lackinginfaith]

You're definitely interesting, anyway. Where'd you get a name like V/V?

[heavenscorpse]

I picked it, because I didn't like the names people were calling me.

[basically anything is a step above 'Heaven's Corpse']

[lackinginfaith]

I guess I can't blame you, in that case. Not many people out there picked their own name.

[heavenscorpse]

Caren's a pretty name. Do you like it?

[lackinginfaith]

[She nods.] Thanks. I always liked it. It's nice to have some connection to the ones who came before you.

[heavenscorpse]

Is it a relative's name?

[She thinks sometimes people are named after past relatives...]

headcanon but sara->seira is actual canon

[lackinginfaith]

It's tradition. We're named after the ones who came before us, only slightly different. [A hand goes to her winged shell pendant.] Like Sara to Seira, Natalya to Noel, Carmen to Caren.

[heavenscorpse]

That does sound nice. Did you ever meet Carmen?

[lackinginfaith]

...It doesn't work that way. Not normally, anyway. It's possible, but-- no. I was raised by retainers.

[heavenscorpse]

[I guarantee you the mermaid reproduction explanation is not as weird as the what-the-heck-is-V/V explanation.]

Oh, that's too bad. It would be nice to know that the person you were named after was proud of you, I think.

[lackinginfaith]

...hm. [nod] So how'd you get dragged into this speed-dating thing?

[heavenscorpse]

It looked like it might be fun, so I decided to try it.

['Dragged' is probably not the right word.]

[lackinginfaith]

Wait, you were actually into this? Misa just drafted me.

[heavenscorpse]

I don't know if I'll like something or not if I don't try.

[lackinginfaith]

That's the whole reason?

[heavenscorpse]

Yes. Should I have a different one?

[lackinginfaith]

Most people are more set in their ways.

[heavenscorpse]

Hmm... Well, I don't think it's a bad thing to keep doing what you're doing if that makes you happy. But I also don't think it's bad to try new things.
