The Perk, Sunday afternoon

[willbethenight.livejournal.com]

Bruce had a Blind Date today. Like any reasonable blind date, it was to start at a local business where they could get food and then end in the evening with drinks, but the whole thing would only take 8 minutes due to the magic of television editing. And just like any such thing, it started with Bruce standing off to the side and speaking in generalities about himself and what he looked for in a woman to nobody in particular.

"I have a tendency to be a little flashy. Expensive meals, cars, gifts... pretty much anything that distracts from questions like, 'Where have you been the past few days?' or 'Why do you have a knife wound on your chest?'"

"I'm into girls who are really passionate about something. It doesn't really matter what, as long as it's not murder, haha. But no, really, no murderers. Redheads are nice, though."

"I'm not really good at long-term, steady relationships. It's complicated, but it starts with the death of my parents."

And with that, it was time to wait at a table for his date.

[OOC: For said date! But open for any other Perkish needs, of course.]

Cassidy's smile lit up her eyes. "I think that's the nicest thing someone has ever said to me."

"I'm sure you'll inspire me to say nicer things before the end of the day," Bruce said.

"I certainly hope so," she grinned.

Bruce smiled back. "So just out of curiosity, what kind of guys do you normally date? Are they usually like me, or am I just kind of a dashing outlier?"

Walking the confidence/cockiness line again there, Bruce.

[OOC: Sorry for the delay there!]

Cassidy nodded. "Actually, you are a lot different than the guys I've dated before. Of which there had been none as of yet. This is kind of an adventure for me."

"Well," Bruce said, reaching across the table to place his hand on Cassidy's, "I do try to make things exciting."

Oh he was good.

"I have nothing against exciting," Cassidy assured him with a smile.

A graphic popped up for the viewers: 'He has nice hands.'

"I'm glad to hear that," Bruce said, lifting Cassidy's hand to kiss it like a true playa gentleman. "Because I have some very exciting things in mind for tonight."

There he went, getting brownie points from her again.

"That sounds intriguing and I can't wait to see what you have planned, then, Bruce."
