MATCHMAKER MATCHMAKER MAKE ME A MATCH

OPEN MATCHMAKING POST

"What the hell is this, Lyndon?"

Good unnecessarily aggressive question, hypothetical person! Basically, do you remember that "Give me one of your characters and I'll match them with one of mine" Plurk meme?

"I'm a strawman you invented for this post why would I-"

ANYWAY, this post is like that, because I love that meme a lot and have way too many characters by far. So here is how this is gonna work, basically!

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 (I have like two or three workable dude muses as a warning right upfront), 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! I wanna stretch out some of my lesser-used journals here, though, so no specific character requests!

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 damn 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. WATCH THAT MAGIC HAPPEN or potentially watch this idea crash and burn

Anything's possible when you believe!!!

My mom sent me to find this store? But I don't know this part of town very well, and she just said "You've been there before, you know where it is," and so here I am!

[ Just a garbage day all around. ]

[serrata]

It's a bit of a maze here if you don't know your way around the town -- even I don't know half of the little sidestreets and where they go.

[ This is tragic and hilarious foreshadowing, Nozomi. Take heed. ]

Where is it you're looking to get to? If I know the store, I might be able to help.

[bestoftherest]

[ Nozomi perks up!! ]

Really? That'd be great! Uh... it's called [ Nozomi says a business name I cannot think of one for the life of me. ], it's one of our restaurant's suppliers.

[serrata]

[ That sounds... familiar? Or, well, she thinks so anyway. Not that she can just up and say she doesn't recognize it if that's the case, now that she's offered her help. ]

Oh, I think I know where you might want to go... you're heading in the right direction but it's just...

[ another pause as she mulls it over but then she just stands up. ]

Why don't I show you? I'm sure that'd be much easier.

[bestoftherest]

Really? You don't mind?

[ HER HERO... she smiles, no idea what's in store here. ]

Thank you so much!

[amymethyst]

Whew, thanks. Glad everyone's good over at the dojo, though. Chill is good. Way better than... not chill.

[serrata]

Of course not. I'm not mean enough to let you go walking past here a sixth time.

[ why not warn a girl before you murder her in cold blood, yuuri, fuck ]

I wouldn't be getting in the way, would I?

[mutantkoalabff]

Yeeeah, you know. New students, new kata, blahblahblah. Waiter! Mm-hm, hi there thank you, could you get my date something sweet...?

[There's a certain thrill in saying date. Her date. Hers, they've been doing this for months and yet she still feels a rush of adrenaline, like jumping from a cliff to Squeaky's back, whenever she draws attention to it.]

[bestoftherest]

[ AH...... well it's probably fair, honestly, this is embarrassing ]

Nope! Not at all. Lead the way!

[amymethyst]

[ Amy blushes a little, but smiles at the waiter. ]

A blueberry muffin? I like blueberry muffins. And a... chocolate latte thing. Mocha! Yeah, that's it.

[ She is many things but she refuses to be the person who asks for Mountain Dew on a date IT'S GOOD DON'T JUDGE HER SHE IS BUT ONE SMALL GAMER.

AND THERE HE GO. ]

It's a beautiful day out, huh?

[mutantkoalabff]

[...You know, she has a few friends who would probably do the same, so it's...fine, she wouldn't mock you horribly? Maybe?

...Ehhh.]

Totes. I was hoping all week we wouldn't get one of those, uh, freak storms. [ie. Kaiju causing troubles from beyond the veil. That would have cancelled the date a multitude of ways.]

[destage]

you know I'll just do this ahead of time so this time I don't forget but

whenever you down, you know i'm here for the nerds

[tokencanadian]

Hello again

I'm down and here for anything and also the thing we discussed in your plurk

[l1r1]

the nerds

but what do we wanna do with the nerds

[destage]

...this is a good question :|a

do you wanna stick to like, a recolle based au where they're stupid college kids trying to survive the strange world (or not so strange), or should we drop one or the other into the other's canon perhaps

i'm down either way honestly

[l1r1]

hmmmm well i can say that Let's Not Go To Danganronpa #savesayaka2kforever

i think college au only because it saves me from having to handwave away a lot of jrpg nonsense (thanks ludger will protag)

[destage]

damn fuckin' skippy tbh thanks dangan ronpa i both love and hate you for everything

college au totally works, though! let's just make this as noncomplicated as possible tbh--we could do some stupid after-class stuff, maybe sneaking off campus stuff, maybe studying? and suffering? anything's good by me, honestly, but i'm curious if you got any particular preferences

[l1r1]

uhhhh STUDYING AND SUFFERING SOUNDS GOOD TBH how far along do we want them to be do we want them to not be together yet and for the suffering to be like half distressed pining or

[destage]

lyndon, my dude, i am here for pining based suffering like no one's business

let's go with them not together and study-buddying it up or something, is that cool?

[l1r1]

works for me! you wanna start or should i?

[destage]

(I got it! Lemme know if this is okay, yeah?)

[It was getting really, really down to the wire. Finals season was pretty much always like that, though--where they put you to the grindstone to memorize everything that you've learned, and then put it all to the test. It's not like Sayaka's unused to that sort of feeling, but it still doesn't reduce the stress it brings with it.

Then again, the pressure was just on to get her grades up to As/Bs, which...well, for at least one class, it was a lot more trouble than it was worth. Maybe two. That's why she enlisted the help of one of her best friends on this campus to help her study. Sure, she was gonna be helping him in return--that much was a given, but...honestly, it was just gonna be nice to not be alone in the suffering. That's what she tells herself, first and foremost.

The library is probably one of the more popular areas for studying, but Sayaka's found a nice little spot at one of the tables to get some piece and quiet. And...okay, she also snuck something to drink for both of them--she hopes he doesn't mind coffee from the campus store too much, at least. Once she's set up, she'll shoot him a text.]

heyyy, ludger!!! i'm at the library (￣▽￣)ノ i'll be over toward the back
i'm getting the books set up right now, but is there anything you want me to grab before anyone else gets it? (・・ ) ?
