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!!!

u know what im fuckin here for

[bestoftherest]

i sure do

OKAY SO SINCE BOTH OF THEIR CANONS ARE POSTAPOC IN DIFFERENT CAPACITIES A. should this be some kind of Modern AU and B. should this be a meetcute or a Confession or a date

[serrata]

POUNDS MY FISTS ON THE DESK!!! MODERN AU MEET CUTE!!! let's make it as sickeningly cute and dumb as possible

[bestoftherest]

HELL YES P L E A S E

the real question now is how do they meet does nozomi run into rii-san while lost does rii-san come across nozomi after she failed to break up a fight or something does rii-san wander into her parents' restaurant WHAT FLAVOR OF CUTE AND DUMB DO WE WANT

[serrata]

oh my god can we PLEASE have a thread of rii running into her while she's lost and trying to help her out and then accidentally getting evEN MORE FUCKING LOST!!!

[bestoftherest]

( YOU GOT IT here i'll slam out a starter )

[ Things that do not happen very often: Nozomi getting lost. Even if she has her bike and not her motorcycle, she... likes to think she knows the dang town she lives in?? But no, apparently not!! She is just sort of... walking around with her normal not-motorized bike and being really really obviously lost?? ]

What kind of store is this hard to find, anyway?

[serrata]

[ ... that girl has passed by the cafe three times now.

Yuuri's been sat here with her drink, just people watching and it's hard not to notice that this girl is pretty clearly lost. You don't just heave a bike along with you in circles around town for the fun of it after all.

She lets the young woman pass her by again without saying anything but on the fifth pass is when Yuuri finally calls out to her. ]

... excuse me. I'm sorry but -- you're lost, aren't you?

[bestoftherest]

[ OH NO, SHE'S BEEN SPOTTED Nozomi freezes, and sort of. Slowly turns.

Oh and of course it's a cute girl, too, great! Awesome! Best to just face the metaphorical firing squad. ]

... I swear my sense of direction is usually better than this.

[serrata]

I'm sure it is. Everyone has their off days.

[ Even if she says that, her smile probably doesn't feel any less like a knife to the damn heart. ]

Are you looking to get somewhere?

[bestoftherest]

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!

[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?

[bestoftherest]

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

Nope! Not at all. Lead the way!
