LET'S CELEBRATE FRIDAY

EVEN THOUGH IT'S STILL THURSDAY FOR MOST OF YOU

AND FOR ME

WHATEVER

This meme is one we've never replicated. Possibly because it's absolutely horrific. That's why it's going up now.

Marriage Meme

Tag in.
The characters who tag them have just woken up married to them.
Enjoy. Or don't.

Which address would we have given? We do not live together ...

[Or, she realizes, still don't know each other's name]

I'm Danute, by the way. Danute Simonis.

[thelionheart]

I'm not sure. [Leo folds his hands together between his knees and looks down at the carpet. How does he wake up married to a knock-out? How does he forget about it?]

Leonard Duncan. [What else is there to say? Oh...what he does. Can a barista really support a wife or family? Now he's feeling stupid...] I'm um, [but it's really difficult to tell the truth about having a mcjob to someone so stunning.] I'm a musician.

[paard]

A musician? What sort of music?

[She sits down on the bed and thinks. A gold wedding band and waking up in the bed of a strange man with no other paperwork that either can tell and vague memories of the night before.

What was in the area that could marry people? Maybe they could go there ... and at least find out.

And then go from there.]

[thelionheart]

Oh, um, [he points at his guitar.] Folk, mostly. Laura Marling, The National, That sort of thing. [He looks up at her, then down quickly again, suddenly nervous.] What do you do?

[Please do something good. Something...they can live off of if they're married. Oh God. What if they're truly married? No take-backs? Of course there's take-backs, but...somehow anxiety is clouding his thoughts so that the very idea of divorce seems far fetched. What if she's one of those people that doesn't believe in divorce? What if he's fallen into a reality game show? She seems to beautiful to be a normal human being. Is this some sort of set up? He rubs his chin and tries not to think too much.]

[paard]

That's nice. [Danute has the musical skills of a toddler playing on one of the toy musical toys that annoy people instead of creating some sort of brilliant sound.

Is that what led to this? Finding someone who had an ability she could not grasp no matter how hard she tried ...]

I just graduated, about a week ago. [Which meant she was officially Dr. Simonis, but that title seemed unwieldy without a job or any real accomplishments behind it.] Doctorate of Science. Most of my work so far has been on biodiversity of environmental systems.

[thelionheart]

Oh, that's excellent! [Biodiversity of...what? Either way, his mother will be thrilled! Both of her children married to doctors!] I don't know what that means, but it does sound interesting. [No it doesn't, but that's okay. She found it interesting enough to get a doctorate in it. There must be something interesting there.]

I-- I mean, you can come to one of my shows if you'd like. But I'm sure it's not half as stimulating as your... [what do doctors do? Oh dear, she's probably a professor, someone's teacher. Someone really clever. What do clever professors do?] conferences?

[paard]

They can be awfully boring. I'd like too see one of your shows. Regardless of what happens with all of this. [She motions with her newly ringed hand.

What would her aunt say when - if - she told her? Finally?]

What do you want to do?

[thelionheart]

Oh. [He smiles and looks down at the floor. Yeah, that'll be cool!] Great. I'd be happy to see you there.

[He thinks for a while, trying to consider the best way to go. But all of his thoughts chase themselves around his head and he can't sort them out.]

Breakfast?

[paard]

[It was not what she was referring to.

But.]

Breakfast sounds like a good start to me. Are you ready to leave now?

[thelionheart]

[Leo pats himself down to make sure his wallet is in his pocket and then nods.] Sure. The pub does some really good breakfast. I'll take you there.
