A Rocky Relationship

[Rusty]

So here's the setup:

Rusty has long been bewildered by his captain's love life. As an inorganic Shard, he has little to no understanding of how romance is supposed to work. All he knows is that the Captain goes out, meets a guy, the relationship falls apart, she gets drunk, and he's left trying to console her.

So far, this hasn't worked out very well for either of them, so Rusty has a plan.

Step 1: go on a date
Step 2: fall madly in love
Step 3: watch it all fall apart tragically
Step 4: analyze the fallout
Step 5: Utilize his new understanding of relationships to further assist the Captain and keep the Wicked Grace in the air

As you may have guessed, he's not exactly equipped for this sort of thing. In fact, "he" is just the pronoun chosen by an asexual lump of crystal in a droid's body. All he knows is the best way to learn how to build something is to destroy something a lot like it and examine the aftermath. With that in mind, he's taking out a personal ad for a blind date.

So the question is, who wants to be his date? I'm looking to make this as excruciatingly awkward and funny as possible, probably a one off sort of thing unless against all odds they hit it off. That will take some serious doing, however.

Best idea for a first date takes it.

Well, let no one say that Nyx didn't try.

Tying in Nyx's interests, she could take him to a fight of some kind; legal or other wise.
And maybe some dinner, her treat?

Could be fun

Thanks much. I'm hoping this'll be a disaster to rival Episode III.

Now there's an idea, not that he has much need for food. Might even end up in a fight of their own. Definitely a possibility.

Could be fun

That's the idea.

That's what I'll try and do

 

[Ire]

This is exactly the kind of thing Ire would attempt. Except for the better consolation of her captain part, as she has none.

Here's exactly what would happen:

They would greet each other. Sit down wherever they are. And stare at each other for the rest of the date. HOW MUCH MORE FUN COULD YOU POSSIBLY HAVE??!!

I once wandered into a bachelorette party downtown by accident during a festival, became the man with the top hat dancing on the table, then got thrown into the river boat by the bouncer because the women starting taking off my clothing near the bar. I then got thrown in the river by the boat captain. Because I was thrown onto his boat by the bouncer. The girls then jumped into the river to save me. Because alcohol and reasons. Allowing me the opportunity to escape the City Police. Because swimming in the river is apparently against the law on Friday Nights.

You never want to get into a staring contest with a rock. It's not a good idea.

Last blind date on IRL, I had to pull a shotgun on her ex. He had a thing for intimidating her new prospects with brass knuckles and didn't understand the words "retraining order." Needless to say, there wasn't a second date.

@Rusty

I'll be your hot date man

What sort of date-like activities do you have in mind?
