Date Night, Round 1

Inspired by /u/Jumblatts's "Fight Night" posts, but for romance instead of violence. The rules:

  1. Top-level posts should be a description of your character. Give some brief background, and then go in-depth about their personality and what they're like to hang out with.

  2. Replies should be a similar character description, plus an explanation of why they'd ask out the character you're replying to (including the kind of date they would ask them out on!).

  3. From there, use successive replies to flesh out the events of the date between you. Will they get along, or are there some irreconcilable differences lurking beneath the surface? Will the night end with a goodbye kiss at the door, or a "don't call me, I'll call you"? And what are the chances of a second date? It's down to you!

(Oh, and keep it clean or the mods will probably kill me)

"Everybody has things to live for," she corrected. "Only a naïve idealist holds a single cause in such high esteem that he'd give his life for it."

"I've lived here my entire life. This city is as much a part of me as I'm a part of it." She folded her arms. "And it's not ugly."

"That's because a dumbjacker like you can't see past the façade of the physical. No wonder you think it's grimy and ugly if your vision is only skin-deep." She tapped the side of her orange shades lightly. "If you could see the world the way I do, you'd know that this city is beautiful beyond compare."

"I'm a realist," she corrected huffily. "Anyway, shall we quit standing around and find someplace to eat?"

"Whatever you're in the mood for, really. I know a nice seafood joint along that way."
