THE FIRST IMPRESSION MEME


 


You only get once chance to put your best foot forward. Screw that up, and you'll be forever seared in someone's mind as the person who had spinach in their teeth, or worse!


HOW TO PLAY
1. Drop a top-level!

2. If you have previous CR with someone, you'll have to let them know what your first-impression of them was.

If this is your first time meeting, you'll be compelled to share what kind of vibe they give off. It's okay to be honest! Are they gross? Do they seem approachable? Do you find them incredibly hot? 

3. Find out if your first impression was correct! Maybe that strange loner actually has a heart of gold? You'll never know unless you talk to them!

SECRETS REVEALED

- No blank comments. Top levels should include your character telling everyone their biggest secret, that little piece of knowledge they've kept quiet for whatever reason. Positive or negative, embarrassing or devastating, about themselves or someone/thing else, every whisper counts as long as it's about a secret you'd rather die than tell.
- What happens, then, when the truth gets out? Will it set you free...or set every prospect you had on fire?

THE BODY HEAT MEME



Post with your character! They're now stuck in a very cold place of your choice. It can be anything, such as a freezing chamber, a cavern or a small cabin in the midst of a blizzard. The choice is up to you.

Comment around! Now your character has some company in this bone-chilling environment. The two of them share two things in common: clothes completely unfitting for this weather (be they summer clothes or even lingerie) and a blanket.

A blanket? Yes, just one warm blanket and no other ways to escape the cold. The two of them will have to share it in order to stay alive in this weather. Don't worry, you're sure to find a common language in this terrible situation!

So, uh, have fun, I suppose. Try to not freeze to death!

Protip: friction and body heat are both excellent ways to fend off cold.

The Intimacy Meme

Intimacy is NOT necessarily about sexual contact. Intimacy is all about two people forming a connection and bond between them. That involves becoming best friends, trusting each other, knowing each other, understanding each other. Intimacy is grown and developed, it can't be rushed.

RULES
  • Comment with your character. Be sure to include preferences (ie, f/f for shipping, OTA for gen, etc)
  • Tag others!

FIND THE BEAUTY



Today, we'll press below the obvious. We'll dig deep to find the true beauty that's within. For some of you, we'll need to dig deeper.

Uh. Maybe not that deep. Too deep. Too deep!

...this could end up being a real challenge. But I still think everyone's beautiful. Yes. Even that guy!


how to play.

○ Comment with your character.
○ Other characters will remark on what they find beautiful about your character. Of course, they can talk about physical features, but hopefully, they'll be more creative than that.
○ We can't make any promises.
○ Return the favor. Share the joy. Make someone smile today.

The Magical Creature Bazaar

[personal profile] paintbrush posting in [community profile] bakerstreet

Welcome to the Magical Creature Bazaar - a sprawling open-air market where the strange, the rare, and the impossible can be found! Dragons coil behind reinforced glass, unicorns stand beneath silken canopies. Creatures that whisper, creatures that shimmer, creatures that wear human faces until they don't.

Some come here out of curiosity.
Some come for profit.
Some come because they have no choice.

Are you here to browse... or are you part of the display?

Humans (or something close enough)

1. A Curious Visitor – You came to witness the wonders. Maybe today the fairies will dance?
2. A Potential Owner – You're searching for a companion, servant, or status symbol.
3. A Seller – You've brought something extraordinary. Will it fetch a fortune, or attract the wrong kind of attention?
4. A Researcher – Knowledge is your goal. Measurements, notes, experiments... assuming the subject cooperates.
5. A Liberator – You see cages where others see commerce. Someone here shouldn't be kept. The question is... can you get them out?

Creatures

1. On Display – You are a spectacle and a beauty. Make sure to stretch those wings and show off all those colors!
2. For Sale – Whether by force or fate, you are here to be sold. Will you resist... or choose your next master carefully?
3. Planning Escape – You'll break every bar, binding, or bargain — you're not someone who can be held down!
4. Seeking a Mate – You've been brought here to find a mate. Maybe you want one. Maybe you don't.
5. Socializing – Maybe others of your kind are here, or maybe you you've made your own pack.

CONNECTIONS


Hey, don't I know you from somewhere?


Sure, first meetings can be fun to play out. On the other hand, those of us who crave those deeper relationships between characters often can't find it in crossovers or superficial canon interactions. No need to fret about those inconveniences in this meme. Around these parts, everybody knows your name - no, not Cheers. Sorry. I mean that all characters know each other.

They're connected, somehow.

HOW TO PLAY
- Comment with your character, preferences, what manner of assumed CR is okay with you. To ease tag ins even further, you might want to give examples of what kind of relationships your character would have, but that's not a hard prerequisite.
- Others tag in using the dialogue examples below to spark a thread where two old associates match up once more?
- Tag around.

Happy Wednesday!

I'm taking search offline sometime today to upgrade the server to a new instance type. It should be down for a day or so -- sorry for the inconvenience. If you're curious, the existing search machine is over 10 years old and was starting to accumulate a decade of cruft...!

Also, apparently these older machines cost more than twice what the newer ones cost, on top of being slower. Trying to save a bit of maintenance and cost, and hopefully a Wednesday is okay!

Edited: The other cool thing is that this also means that the search index will be effectively realtime afterwards... no more waiting a few minutes for the indexer to catch new content.

THE DANCING MEME
young and sweet, only seventeen


There's so many reasons why people dance. For fun, for tradition, for community, for courting, for taunting your enemies. Maybe you're just friends, maybe you're having a father-daughter (or parent-child) dance, maybe you're dating or almost dating. Gen or shippy, either is fine, as long as you're dancing!

Post your preferences and maybe a starter, then tag around!

PROMPTS

ONE. Spontaneous Dancing
You're doing something else, maybe out somewhere, maybe seemingly alone in your apartment when you just feel the urge. The song you're listening to is really catchy or you just got good news. Does the other person get invited? Join in on their own accord? Just watch? Is it a flash mob? Whatever the reason, you’re dancing now!

TWO. A Celebration
It's a wedding! Or maybe a festival, holiday, school dance, or birthday party. Point is, it's an occasion. There's music and a dance floor and no reason why not to let loose! Be is fast paced to the dj, slow dance with a partner, or traditional dance, it's all part of the celebration.

THREE. A Gala
It's not just any kind of event, it's fancy. There's probably someone pretty rich throwing it, and you better be dressed up nice. Chances are you're just as likely to be here dancing for business just as much pleasure. Maybe you're even here to steal something, or make political connections, or fundraise for charity. But dancing is part of the deal so take your partner's hand and lead them out on the dancefloor!

FOUR. Masquerade
Much like the gala, it's fancy. Or it could be a Halloween party. Either way, everyone is wearing some kind of costume and mask. Who is this mysterious person you're dancing with? A stranger? Friend? Enemy? Frememy? A mystery. Or perhaps not a mystery, but you can pretend!

FIVE. Clubbing
It's a bar or club or hey, maybe a sock hop, and you're here to have fun. Drinks optional, music loud, dance floor crowded. Be it with friends or a date, you're going to dance tonight. Feel the beat of the tambourine.

SIX. Performance
Ballet recital, music video, talent show, traditional ceremony -- you’re not just dancing, you’re dancing for an audience. Everyone’s eyes are on you and your partner, so let’s hope you don’t get stage fright!

SEVEN. Wildcard.
