OLD CUDDLR PROFILE (1/28/2017 - 5/1/2017):

I've traveled to many lands, some of which you may have read about in storybooks. A fun fact: Dormice make for terrible tea party guests.

No cuddling on the first date.

OLD CUDDLR PROFILE (9/21/2016 - 1/28/2017):

Single father who hasn't been on a date in more time than I care to admit. Let's start with getting to know each other over tea.

(Please stop calling me a 'DILF'. I'm not sure what that means, and I don't want to know.)

I kind of wish I took your approach to this profile instead. Succinct.

[ And intriguing, which is always a bonus. ]

[vexy]

✓

as a DILF myself, y not embrace ur sexy label & get laid? ;-)

[royalpassport]

[ IT'S TOO SOON FOR JEFFERSON TO THINK ABOUT GETTING LAID-- he's been celibate for probably over 30 years by now. Attention's weird and daunting these days. But the words "dark fae" and "mesmer" TOTALLY pique his curiosity. ]

✓

Perhaps you could tell me what it means, then. It rolls off the tongue like an insult.

[furthered]

✓

i haven't had tea in a long time. if you don't mind instant, i could make you some.

[This is how you do this right?]

[royalpassport]

I'm not picky. The company's more important than the tea. [ Because he's a recovering shut-in, so he seriously needs to get the hang of socializing again. The sooner he gets the hang of interacting with people in a... semi-normal way again, the sooner he can start fulfilling his end of the deal to the city reps. ] I could bring burgers? Tea and burgers, not quite traditional.

[ Which is good, because the last thing he needs is to be reminded of the tea parties of Wonderland. ]

[ Only so informative, though it is more informative than some.

(Okay, most.)

Though the tea almost sways his decision. ]

[royalpassport]

[ Aw, come on, Mr. Logical, HAVE SOME TEA WITH THE MAD HATTER. ]

So, maybe leaving a tick seems sketchy but it's the only way this thing'll let me say hello.

sorry for the delay!

[royalpassport]

[ Jefferson's heard about others having doppelgangers, but this is his first time seeing a man who's practically his own twin. Though he's seen and experienced a lot of strange things, it's still somewhat... eerie. But he's way too curious to swipe the X. ]

✓

I certainly felt a twinge of narcissism, myself, sending one back at you.

Dvořák?

[ It stood out in TJ's profile as a reference that went RIGHT OVER Jefferson's head. ]

You're a long way from Granny's.

So, how does one get an A+ in fashion sense?

[unhappilyeverafter]

[You said NO to her?

✕

Regina holds grudges. Just a little bit.]

[royalpassport]

[ NO, YOU DON'T GET TO DO THIS TO HIM AGAIN, REGINA. ]

✕

I guess the rumors that you weren't here were too good to be true.

[earthlike]

✓

What do you like to do for fun, Jefferson? Not jogging, as we know.

[royalpassport]

Reading, cartography, music.

[ At least, that's all things he did back in Storybrooke to try to keep himself occupied. Not so much here. ]

Here, I spend a lot of time exploring the city. And I've taken up cooking.

Not that I wasn't cooking before. I'm just trying new things.

[ If he seems a little awkward, that's because he is. He's kind of worried about coming across as boring. There are only so many ways to spin "Well, I used to be a depressed, half-mad shut-in, so I didn't really have much of a concept of fun for a long time." ]

What do you do besides jogging?

[dweomer]

✓

I suppose FILB is out of the question, then. Tea sounds nice, though. Black as a midwinter's night, I hope?

[royalpassport]

✓

I'm almost afraid to ask what that one stands for.

[ Though he can guess! ]

Black? Always. That's what we had at all the tea parties.

dilf stands for Dude Is Licking Flags

are u licking flags

[royalpassport]

✓

I can't say that I've ever licked a flag. And here I thought I lived an adventurous life.

How do you have so many faces? Magic, or incredible costuming skills?

[ Color Jefferson intrigued. ]

[cantwalkwithoutit]

✓

...Please tell me no one's told you yet.

[royalpassport]

[ THANKS TO HIS DEPRESSIVE SLUMP, it kind of takes some days before he responds. ]

✓

I've since been enlightened. I need to update my profile.

[non_sin_timore]

✓

No DILFing, I promise.

Starting with some tea sounds great.

[royalpassport]

✓

I really should change my profile, now that I know what that means...

I'd like that. We could learn more about each other than "single father" and "likes to bake."

[backwaterbelle]

✓

Ever try sweet tea?

[royalpassport]

✓

I don't think I have. That's a southern thing, isn't it?

[gameboards]

✓

I'll take your word on the dormice, darling. I never saw much use for them myself.

[royalpassport]

✓

[ He ALMOST X's you again, Ana-- but the fact that he didn't is a sign that he's at least moving on from his past a little. ]

I can't imagine you would. They speak a lot, but say nothing of substance.

[hasitsthorns]

✓

Storybooks?

[royalpassport]

✓

That's right. Places that people claim are fiction. Like Neverland, Wonderland, Oz...

[ibiza]

✓

Can't say I knew that about dormice. My animal drinking partner is a talking sloth.

Well-traveled, huh? I bet you have some colorful stories.

[altercating]

Is a Dormouse different than a regular mouse?
