THE DUBIOUSLY-CANON POST-MURDERGAME CROSS-GAME DATING SCENE MEME

Listen. Some of us are lucky enough to find a special someone while in the throes of... the general emotions murdergames give, and that's great! But going back into the dating scene afterwards? It's a little tough to go to speed dating at the community center when that gap in your resume was caused by being sent off to another world and forced to do murders! How big of a fish does it take for someone's profile picture on a dating app for you to swipe right when you have a best friend from a JRPG who caught a sea serpent once? You have that group of ten to thirty people who you deeply traumabonded with... but love is still a human need, is it not? So we do what we have to when home-grown isn't available: store-bought is fine too! And that's where MRDRGM comes in!

MRDRGM is a revolutionary new dating app only compatible with interdimensionally-connected phones and devices (and, of course, jailbroken iPhones) that narrows your dating pool down to other real murdergame survival singles. Chat, flirt, and find the love of your newly-reevaluated life! Just fill out a fun profile (not like those unfun profiles from your games), answer some optional questions, and get out there, buddy!

PROMPTS

1. Just Swiped Right

You've found a potential match! Get chatting - what's your best pick-up line? Wait, do you recognize them from the thing with the robot and the weird reality show host? Does your opener even make sense to someone from another time and place? Regardless, you're not going to find love just sitting there!

2. In the interdimensional wormhole, I just can't wait

Pick them up for your very first date! Or just meet somewhere. There's twenty different ways of interdimensional travel out there, just pick one. Where are you going? What are you going to eat? Does your hair/tentacles/robot chassis look okay? Hope they look like their picture!

3. Let's take this to texting

Things are getting serious! Ish. Maybe. Either way, you're leaving the MRDRGM pastures and chatting through some other means.

4. Not looking for anything serious

Maybe you're just here for hookups, we don't judge! Just hope you don't end up with feelings - remember, the top way to end up dating a murdergame character is to joke about dating that murdergame character! That's just science!

Name: Norton Campbell
Age: 28 | Species: Human | Occupation: Currently doing contract work involving travel.
GAME: Wouldn't call it a game, but we were trapped in this fairy world by this supernatural shapeshifter woman who tried to sew buttons in our eyes? I think she brought us all in because we all had some wish we wanted to come true.
Looking for: Mid to late twenties, preferably female. Seeks a stable relationship.

Least favorite things: Dark caves. Getting too close to explosives. Dark, cramped spaces that remind me of caves. Poverty.
What are my best traits: Honest. Smart enough. Works hard for goals.
One thing anyone should know about me is: Several things, actually. One, the thing that lets me and the other survivors visit different worlds leaves a bunch of glittery dust on arrival. Can't turn it off. Two, if you're taking me somewhere expensive, you're paying.

[ Norton had to edit his profile several times so he didn't sound like he's applying for a job or being a metaphorical gold digger. His current gig from Professor Pericles pays well, but old habits die hard.

Open to anyone despite his stated preferences. Make these dates awkward. ]

Favorite things: Training, headwear, my team.
Least favorite things: Wolves--look, it's cliche but I just don't like them. Dogs are fine, though. Marchen.
What are my best traits: I take a beating and I just keep ticking. I'm stubborn but I'll make sure you're taken care of.
One thing anyone should know about me is: Yes, I'm named after the fairy tale! Don't worry about, it's a Blood Maiden thing... there's a lot of Blood Maiden things that I should tell you about first but eh, that can wait till the next date. No offense.
