WHO: Cronus Ampora and Dave Strider
TONE: [TONE AND GENRE]
RATING: ... I have no idea. R. NC-17. CRONUS IS INVOLVED, THIS AIN'T SUITABLE FOR ANY AUDIENCES.
WHEN: February 14th
WHERE: A pretty fancy restaurant in Hogsmeade
WHAT: Bro set up a blind date for Cronus and Dave, and pulled some strings to let them have it in Hogsmeade.
STATUS: Ongoing

[Everyone else may have thought it was a bad idea, but Bro? No. Bro thinks it's the best goddamn idea he ever had. Dave is single, Cronus is single. Cronus is also relatively desperate. So! The obvious solution is to set the two of them up. What could go wrong, honestly? Bro found happiness with an Ampora, so clearly Dave can too. It's perfect. Nothing could go wrong at all.

So he's set up a fantastic date for them and urged them both to dress their best, because it's the same restaurant he and Murdoc had their first date at. He's arranged for it all to go down smoothly. Cronus goes in first and gets seated at a booth and then Dave arrives a little while later and gets taken to him. It's candlelit and everything, the epitome of romantic. Hey, he's even splurged on some fancy wine for the two of them to be served. Because clearly they need wine. It'll help loosen the two of them up, right?

Right.

The bill's already been paid, the two of them have been instructed to order whatever they want. So have fun with that, enjoy the wine. But most of all, enjoy each other's company. Fall in love. Be romantic.

Or Bro will be sad.]

Comments

Hope nobody minds if I start this off....

[Dave's definitely dressed in his best. In red, of course, since it's not a "black-tie" occasion. He gets seated in front of this dude he doesn't...strictly know. He's seen Cronus around the castle just passing by, but never really spoke to the dude.

Might as well break the ice with some introductions.]

I'm Dave Strider.

Don't mind at all!

[greaselightning]

[Cronus has done the very same, dressing up real nice, though in purple. Perhaps it's a bit much, but it isn't like the Amporas to not over do things. And in Cronus' case, if this means he might get some tail, why wouldn't he? As Dave sits down, his smile grows. The kid is not only hot, but there is just something enchanting about him. Cronus can't quite put his finger on it, but he's hardly one to care about these things.]

Cronus Ampora, pleasure to meet ya, chief.

[Yeah, he's just going to size him up a bit here. Because, damn you fine, Dave.]

Re: Don't mind at all!

[strideallknight]

[Dave is going to let the sizing up bit slide. For now.]

Yeah, same here, dude. I think you share a dorm with my brother, Dirk?

[He very vaguely recalls Dirk talking about a Cronus, but he can't fucking remember right now.]

Could be wrong, of course.

[greaselightning]

Dirk?

[He stops to think about it, he harasses a lot of people, buuuut he hardly remembers their names most the time to be honest, however...]

I think I might know who you're referring to. Looks kinda like you, usually has some spikey sort of hairdo, right?

[meanwhile, there might be a bit of a nudge to Dave's leg. If he guesses it might be a foot, he'd be correct. Cronus is definitely trying to initiate some awkward form of footsies over here, or maybe just trying to be suggestive in a subtle way that isn't subtle at all. This is the guy Bro hooked you up with, Dave. I am sure you are very grateful.]

[strideallknight]

That's the dude.

[He feels like Bro is punishing him for some reason he can't fathom. Maybe if Dave ignores it, it'll stop.]

So...what're your hobbies?

[He's at least trying valiantly to keep a conversation going?]

[greaselightning]

He's a pretty cool cat, and if the genes prove to be anything to go by, I'm sure you're just as swell.

[It certaintly doesn't go away, in fact, it may very well be more insistant with the lack of a reaction. Or, maybe he's taking the lack of comment on it as Dave *enjoying* it, so why would he stop?]

I make my own music in my free time, and I don't mean to blow my our horn here [You may as well Cronus, cuz no one else will...] but I'm pretty fantastic at it. Maybe, if you're lucky, I'll let you hear a few songs I've been working on.

[strideallknight]

[What has Dave's life become?

At least there's a similarity between the two?]

Oh, yeah? I mix my own stuff, too, from time to time during the holidays. Also...not to be rude, but you mind moving your foot from my leg? It's kinda digging into my shin.

[greaselightning]

[A blessed existence, clearly.]

Oh really? Well then, maybe we could collaborate something sometime, just you and me working on our music together--Oh.

[He pauses a moment, but offers his most sanctimonious smile.]

Sorry about that, tiger, I didn't even notice. Hahaha.

[LORD BE PRAISED, he retracts his foot. For now, anyways.]

[strideallknight]

[He begs to differ.]

Sure, I guess we can do that. I always pack enough paper for that stuff to last me a couple years.

[Okay, maybe this won't go badly. Maybe. He's hoping.]

No problem, dude.

[greaselightning]

Very groovy! I'm sure with two very talented and cool dudes like us, we'll make something absolutely astonishing.

[He is misleading you, Dave. While Cronus really isn't bad at music, actually he's pretty damn talented with a violin, even if he refuses to touch the damn instrument again, thanks to Murdoc's pressuring for him to play it. He's just translated that talent into something more akin to his likes. However, that doesn't mean he won't neglect the music if he thinks it's a prime opportunity to get lucky, so honestly, music is the bait leading you into a trap here Dave.]

Really, I think I've been making some breakthroughs with my music as of late, really finding my own sound, you know?

[But that doesn't mean he won't go on and on about himself. Honestly, if there was another him, he'd be too busy impressing himself with himself to ever bother anyone ever again, but alas it's a cruel singular Cronus fate we all live in... Okay that's a lie, he'd just be doubly annoying while enabling his own egotism, so maybe we've been spared.]
