meme } { cross-canon speed dating

[iluvroadrunner6]

How to Play:

1. Comment to the meme. Include character and canon in the subject line.
2. Go around and comment to other people who are not in your canon (that's the point of the meme).
3. Talk until the bell sounds. Or ignore the bell and keep talking anyway. The possibilities are endless.
4. Have fun. =D

This is an open meme, so feel free to pimp and drag in everyone. ON YOUR MARK, GET SET, GO!

[and sits down across from her ... and suddenly she feels like she came to the wrong mixer]

So ... hi. I'm Elena.

[lawyering]

[also having this feeling]

...Marti.

[braveandstupid]

... Were you thinking that this might be less ... sapphic too?

[lawyering]

[Marti glances across the room at her mother, who is waving with a big smile that says she is definitely responsible for this.]

Definitely.

[braveandstupid]

[a small, awkward smile]

At least I'm not the only one.

[lawyering]

I'm sorry. This is just Wanda being Wanda.

[a beat]

My mom is the one who arranged this whole thing. She's been pushing me to date more, even made this joke about coming out to her--or I thought it was a joke.

[braveandstupid]

... At least she means well?

[lawyering]

Well meaning is ruining our speed dating experience.

[She makes sure to add a bit of humor to her sarcasm; it's not meant to be an insult.]

[braveandstupid]

... It doesn't have to be speed dating? It could be -- speed friending? I'm kinda new in town -- I don't have a lot of them.

[lawyering]

Oh, do you go to Lancer?

[braveandstupid]

Yeah, I just started here this semester. I'm still learning my way around.

[lawyering]

Where are you from originally?

[braveandstupid]

Mystic Falls? Tiny little town in Virginia.

[lawyering]

Never heard of it.

[braveandstupid]

Most people haven't.

[lawyering]

[nods]

What's it like there? Anything worth talking about? [because a small town sounds pretty boring to her]

[braveandstupid]

[Oh, there's the vampires.]

A Civil War battle was fought there? The Battle of Willow Creek.

[lawyering]

[ Not exactly what she meant, but she's mildly interested. Marti leans toward her a little. ]

How much do you know about it?

[braveandstupid]

[she shrugs]

There were civilian casualties. The Confederates burned a church full of people to the ground.

[lawyering]

Shit.

[braveandstupid]

Yeah.

[a beat.]

Sorry, it's ... not exactly date talk.

[lawyering]

[ Marti shrugs. ] I don't mind.​

[braveandstupid]

Really?
