[BBS] What's in a Date?

[fierybluebird]

Since we all come from various different backgrounds, I'm curious as to what everyone of age deems a good date?

Are there any cliches where you're from that you want to avoid? Or perhaps customs that are absolutely required? When you want to go formal, do you prefer big and splashy or something quiet and intimate? Of course generally it's best to tailor such a thing to the person you're dating, but what if they're not sure? Do you bring a gift, and what kind, or is that too over the top? Perhaps something from the heart is better.

Anyone got particular favorite date ideas they've been on or wish-dates to fulfill?

Hey Nepeta, [He's guessing from the fur and purr puns.]

I haven't been up to much, you?

No ideas of a dream date or anything?

:33 < mostly just getting use to classes
:33 < lots of my furriends furrom home have b33n arriving
:33 < and like you told me some of them arent exactly the same as the ones i knew
:33 < it has b33n kind of weird but kind of neat too
:33 < hmm
:33 < i never really thought about it too much but
:33 < a simple walk through the furrest
:33 < maybe a picnic and just talking
:33 < and getting to know each other more
:33 < and maybe playing games

[fierybluebird]

Yeah, it can be kind of fun seeing how they turn out otherwise, eh? Well, sometimes.

That sounds nice, what kind of games do you like?

[moirailcompass]

:33 < oh all sorts!
:33 < as long as they arent the mean kind
:33 < where people get crippled or blinded or die :((
:33 < but i especially like to rawrplay!

[fierybluebird]

What kind of games do you play where they get crippled or die??

Rawrplay?

[moirailcompass]

:33 < FLARPing
:33 < i almost played it once
:33 < since it did s33m like fun but equius wouldnt let me
:33 < i guess he was right not to :((
:33 < rawrplaying! roleplaying.
:33 < its sort of like acting or purrtending
:33 < where you take up a role and play out a story!

[fierybluebird]

I guess if you're going to die, that'd be bad. So it's probably a good thing that he stopped you.

Like being in a play?

[moirailcompass]

:33 < its not always that bad
:33 < some of my furriends played it
:33 < its just some people take it too serious

:33 < but yea more or less
:33 < only you can also do it over text
:33 < like if you were writing something together

[fierybluebird]

Oh, all right. I guess Davy Back could be that way if you played it wrong.

Writing and acting at the same time? That sounds kind of hard. Oh wait, you mean like improv? We covered that in drama class. Acting without a script.

[moirailcompass]

:33 < davy back? :oo

:33 < yea kind of like that!
:33 < i didnt know there was a drama class :oo
:33 < if i had i would have signed up :((

[fierybluebird]

It's a type of pirate game. Instead of just killing one another, you bet the the things that mean the most: your nakama, ship, and flag.

You can try the drama class next semester, I'm sure.

[moirailcompass]

:33 < ooh
:33 < i s33!
:33 < what is a nakama though?

[fierybluebird]

Traveling comrade, best friend. My nakama are my brothers.

[moirailcompass]

:33 < i think i understand
:33 < we dont really have family in the way humans do but
:33 < like that? like purrhaps a group of people
:33 < who are moirails to each other?

[fierybluebird]

Moirail?
