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.)

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

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

[ And intriguing, which is always a bonus. ]

[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.

[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. ]

[vexy]

[ "celibate" is a 4-letter word!!! ]

it's absolutely a compliment, luv. means ur a Dad I'd Like 2 Fuck aka DILF. so if ur a dad, and ur hot (like me & u) ur a DILF.

we got a lot in common already. single dads, hot, luv a good cuppa.

btw why the ?? by ur age? not sure?

[ Vex hadn't even bothered to list his age on his. ]

[gundogs]

I like to keep things simple.

[ Says the secret agent who doesn't really know what simple looks like anymore, but. ]

It would seem offering to meet over a drink (tea or otherwise) is fairly successful.

[royalpassport]

Usually, I find myself take the opposite approach.

[ Which is probably why his life is a MESSSSSS. ]

Oh good. It's been so long, I was sure there'd be all these new customs and norms to meeting people. At least some things stay the same.

[royalpassport]

[ Okay, that got a laugh out of him. BUT HOW TO EXPRESS IT OVER TEXT? He's new to this... online... app... stuff. ]

Hahaha :)

[ Jefferson, you have a lot to learn. Anyway, now it's time to get all gloomy. ]

It's complicated. Lost track of time for a while. And then there was a curse.

[ He sends that, and then after a moment, sends a second message, JUST IN CASE. (It's a touchy subject.) ]

I'm not crazy, by the way.

What's a mesmer?

[vexy]

;-)

nah i kno how it is, i lost track of time 2, somewhere around the 15th century? so i cant remember my age either. the curse thing is new tho, did u upset a particularly nasty fae or something?

a mesmer is a kind of fae, my species as it were. u kno, like pixies and minotaurs and all that lot.

[royalpassport]

An evil queen. She cursed the entire land, though she saved a particular bit of nastiness for me. About how old do you think you may be these days?

I know of minotaurs and pixies, though mesmers are new to me. Where I'm from, we tend to just have overly helpful fairies.

[vexy]

o well anything that saves from a bit of nasty can't be all bad :-)

uhhh i think round 1,000? give or take a few centuries? i know i'm not near 2,000 because i was born after 'the great war'. so many of those centuries blur 2gether

lol where i'm from a helpful fairy is a very suspicious thing, they r notoriously tricky, just like pixies. yeah a lot of ppl havent heard of mesmers, where i'm from i'm the last of my kind, and nobody else here in eudio has heard of em on their worlds either

guess that makes me a special snowflake i suppose

[furthered]

[Curtis is in the same boat. He doesn't know how to people anymore and he's going to need to practice if he's going to be successful here.]

i'd like that. i can send you my address. tonight at nine okay? [It's a little later than usual, but he'll need to go grab some things from the store.] we'll make our own traditions.

[What is he even saying now? Curtis sighs at himself and sends his address.]

[royalpassport]

I would've preferred to have gotten the full brunt of the curse along with everyone else.

[ Because at least then he wouldn't have been driven mad. But no, Jefferson's being a buzzkill. ONTO MORE FAE TALK. ]

Around 1,000? No wonder you've lost count. Is that long-lived for fae?

It must be lonely. I can relate. Sort of.

[vexy]

i dont think i've ever seen some1 say they wanted a full curse?

naaaah, not even middle-aged. i guess humans would associate it with mid to late 30s?

well, i dunno if i'd say lonely. i always have people 2 spend time with. but u can relate, eh?

[royalpassport]

[ Awwww yeah, two antisocial weirdos practicing their people skills on each other. ]

I can make it at 9. My schedule's wide open until I get myself a job.

And I like the sound of that. :)

[ TYPING SMILES OUT IS SO WEIRD he has no idea what he's doing. ]

[royalpassport]

Well, you know what they say about ignorance. Being the only one to know you're cursed can be Hell in and of itself.

In a way. It sort of goes with the whole 'curse' thing.

[ After sending that response, he sort of stares at the screen for a bit, then decides to go out on a limb and actually try to jump back into this whole socializing thing, despite how strange it feels. ]

But enough about curses and snowflakes. I don't know about you, but I could do with a drink.

[furthered]

[Curtis is already on his way out the door when he gets the other texts; he's hoping to find a beard grooming kit. He'd caught a glimpse of himself and he can't hide his scars but he can clean the rest of himself up.]

i'm curtis. i know our profile's say our names, but it felt strange not telling you.

[He considers tossing in a smiley or two, but second guesses himself and skips it.]

i'll see you tonight.

[vexy]

ohhhh damn. yeah. it really is bliss.

i always want a drink, darling. i GM at a nightclub called pandemonium, but if loud music and strobes arent ur thing, there's plenty of quieter places

1st round's on me

[royalpassport]

Quieter may be better. It's been a long time since I've been around very many people.

Then I'll be sure to get the 2nd.

want to continue here, or should we toss up a log?

[royalpassport]

Jefferson.

See you at 9.

[furthered]

( tossed over here. )

[vexy]

not a problem. i know a few classy hole-in-the-wall places.

ooh! i like u already ;-)


(ooc: Want me to action this up, or FTB? :D )

[royalpassport]

:)

[ Writing out these smilies still feels weird and awkward, BUT WHATEVER, TEXTING AS A WHOLE IS A BIT OF A WEIRD MODE OF COMMUNICATION TO HIM. He's not used to it. ]

Just let me know the time and the place, and I'll be there.

(OOC: Action!)
