What would each RO's perfect date be? Doesn't need to be detailed, that's a lot of characters, but I really want to know.

anon: doesn’t have to be detailed :) me: ok here’s 1000 words about date preferences tehe xoxo

Adegoke: Something relaxed with plenty of opportunity to talk – a casual coffee at a café he liked? If it went well, he’d have a segue into an evening thing in mind – probably like a show he conveniently had tickets for or a reading that one of his pals had organised. Would almost definitely involve running into people he knows (probably not actually arranged, he just knows a lot of people in the places that he frequents lmao) and he’d be keen to see how they vibed with the people that he loves (because he couldn’t really sustain a relationship with someone who would only ever be peripheral to his life).

Arthur: A traditional dinner date – it plays to his strengths (settings that are kind of formal, making conversation, showing off about wine) and is very much on his turf. Maybe a walk home afterwards if it went well – he’d insist on walking them back to their car/house or whatever to make sure they got back safe (and, you know, cause then you get the ol’ goodbye at the door moment).

Atticus: Doesn’t do dates, not sure he’s ever been on what you could really consider a proper date. Preferred method is just to meet someone at a bar/club, take them home, then be gone before they wake up. Will occasionally see the same person more than once, but it’s normally a bit of a booty call situation (in his mind, at least). His ideal date is probably, like, hanging out and watching a movie and ordering food – very boring and domestic. Although that said, I think if anyone suggested a track day or something similar then he’d lose his little mind.

Avery: Hasn’t been on a ~date~ in forever, wouldn’t know what to do with herself. She’d probably just want it to be over with ASAP tbh, maybe a quick coffeeshop hang? If that actually went well enough that she wanted a second date, she’d probably want to go for a walk and maybe do that thing where you rent boats and go out on a lake/river?? It’d be a good way for her to see how well she’d work with the other person.

Charlie: Depends on who it was and how well he already knew them, I think. He’d generally go for something fun and dumb – going to an arcade or one of those VR places. Plenty of ice breaker opportunities and a good chance to get a sense of their vibe. Might suggest one of those crazy golf places but he would also make a joke about how incredibly basic it is as a suggestion, so it would be slightly more acceptable.

Ellis: A nice gallery or museum date, I think? With plenty of stops to chat and look at things. Or maybe like a board game café? Ellis gets quite nervous for first dates, so they’d be quite keen for it to be somewhere they were comfortable and had some control over.

Florrie: A fairground or theme park or similar is undoubtedly Florrie’s ideal date – something where her excitability is kind of acceptable but also where she can spend quite a long time with someone and get an idea of whether they can keep up with her. Will definitely make them try and win her an oversized cuddley animal (and if they refused to do so, it’s an easy dealbreaker hahaha).

Griffin: Doesn’t normally go on a traditional first date til, like, after he’s already slept with someone hahaha! So he normally has a pretty good sense of the person he’s taking out and he’d just try to make it something that they would enjoy. His ideal date is probably something pretty chill – meeting in the morning, going out on the water, maybe grabbing some lunch after? Or maybe going to a sports game.

Imogen: Would be outrageously nervous going on a proper first date, so I think she’d go for something like a talk or a movie first so she can get a bit more comfortable in their presence before she had to do too much talking, and maybe then going for drinks or dinner. I don’t think Imogen would really go on a date with someone that she didn’t already felt like she knew pretty well, though.

Nyra: I think Nyra’s ideal date would be something extremely chill – a pub quiz with her friends or something so she’s very much in her comfort zone and it doesn’t feel too date-y (and so it really puts off anyone who doesn’t Really Want To Date Her hahaha). Basically sets up a gauntlet to try and put people off.

Rowan: Something fun and hands on – like a dance class or to a pottery studio. If the first date goes well, Rowan is absolutely the sort of person to spin it out into like a 24 hour date with multiple activities and venues and then end up booking flights for a weekend away as the second date. Loves fun, loves spontaneity.

Syd: Probably one of those ninja warrior/crystal maze kinds of places? I think they’d find that fun. Or basically anything else that they’d never tried before. If it was someone they were really into, they might take them out on their bike to a spot they particularly like for a walk – but that’s probably a bit more deep relationship than first date. Ooooh, or axe throwing!!

Vinh: Tends to end up on what other people think are dates but they didn’t really realise were dates because they just wanted to spend more time with someone without really thinking about the romantic subtext hahaha. They just find things they want to do and invite whoever springs to mind – generally like art exhibitions or movies. Would love to go to a proper planetarium, that’s totally the sort of thing they’d be into.
