Looking for Love [OPEN]

Who| R [OPEN]
What| R takes it upon himself to ask for dating advice from whoever he bumps into (sometimes literally). This can be from advice to how to be the most romantic Romeo ever to the downright awful. To make intros easier, we can handwave R introducing himself and assume he’s already corraled them into this if you like.
Where|| Around the Training Center, the Tribute Tower, and the Speakeasy. Possibly the park.
When| | Before the Victor Crowning
Warnings/Notes|| Nothing so far.

R’s on a mission to acquire intel for How to Date; Revised for Zombies.

Oh, and for scrawny little guys like Howard. Although if you asked him, personally R believes Howard’s already got one step in the door just because he’s got a working heart. Don’t tell Howard he thought that.

The point is R’s motivated. It’s almost unicorn rare to know what he wants and how to get it. Motivation doesn’t come easy to zombies, R feeling the strain raking its claws across his brain folds as he takes his first stumbling step into today. His Escort turns to stare while she primps her hair, surprised that he’s going out on his own instead of having to be herded. He even remembers to groan something about “…prac-tice…for…Games”, just like the Helmsman coached him to, and R almost thinks that’s a mistake when his Escort’s face lights up. He made her day. She almost looks like she wants to drop everything, come along as if she knows how to tie nooses any better than he does. Luckily she settles for waving him good luck, so pleased she’d radiate sunshine if she could.

He lurches off before she changes her mind.

R’s mission is a multi-stage attack:

1). Find someone, anyone with a pulse.
2). Grill them on romance.
3). Hoard the advice.
4). …He’s still working on the next step. R’s lucky he got this far, to be totally honest.

For now R roams, a tall swaying zombie with a muzzle and a bad habit bumping his way into friends and strangers and wrangling them into his quest.
revvinguptheharley: (I flip for you)

Because she knows ALL about love.

"Oh...it's you."

Harley remembered zombie boy from when he took a bite out of her, and to be honest she had half a mind to knock his block off.

She was in the training hall balancing on a yoga ball on one foot almost casually.

"If you're coming back for another taste tough! You may be pale enough but you're not my type Salomon Grundy."
revvinguptheharley: (Thumbs up!)

"Hmmm?" Harley looked puzzled then grinned, then laughed out loud and stood up straight clutching her sides. Losing her balance she fell bouncing off the ball and landing on her back still giggling.

"You came to ME for advice? ME!?" She sat up rubbing away a tear. "Gosh that's precious. Alright Grundy Jr. I forgive you. What can Mama help you with?"

The rapidly changing moods of Harley Quinn continued as she squealed with glee squishing her cheeks overwhelmed. "Ohmigosh! That IS adorable!!! You have a crush?! Tell me all about it? Does she have a pulse? Is it a she or a he? Something in between? I heard rumors about those trolls..."
revvinguptheharley: (So here's the deal)

[personal profile] revvinguptheharley 2013-05-24 07:49 am (UTC)(link)
She sat down on the ball gently folding her hands behind her head and rocking as he fumbled out an explanation.

"Alright Deadhead, that's pretty basic stuff. First off, what's she like?"
revvinguptheharley: (Tut tut tut)

[personal profile] revvinguptheharley 2013-05-25 05:48 am (UTC)(link)
"Mmmhmm, mmmhmm." Harley nodded stroking her chin in a thoughtful yet somehow devious way.

"Well it can't hurt to start with a gift. Flowers, chocolates, toys, sparkly things. Something that shows her that you know what she likes because you care. Girls love it when you show that not only do you listen to them but you remember what they say."
revvinguptheharley: (So here's the deal)

[personal profile] revvinguptheharley 2013-05-26 12:12 pm (UTC)(link)
"Oh ho! The plot thickens." Harley's ponytails seemed to perk like a cat's ears as he explained. "So all the things you know about her you learned from her exboyfriend? And you're sure you can trust him?"

"So long as you don't tell her that he's the one who told you. You want her to know these thoughts and feelings come from you not him."
revvinguptheharley: (Default)

[personal profile] revvinguptheharley 2013-05-28 04:42 pm (UTC)(link)
"Right! So you'll need a gift. And a plan. Something she'll like to do. Dinner and a movie is classic but try thinking out of the box." She urged eyes blazing with excitement. "The Capitol has all kinds of experiences you can indulge in? Like a romantic boat ride, maybe a joy ride through town in a rented car..." She paused giving him a look. "Probably better let her drive. What you ought to do is ask your chaperone, you know the one who takes you to parties? They know this town better then any of us."
revvinguptheharley: (Duh)

[personal profile] revvinguptheharley 2013-05-29 10:51 pm (UTC)(link)
Harley looked stunned, then hung her head.

"Ho boy...you died a virgin didn't you?"

Popping back up so fast her ponytails whipped him in the face. "A walk? She can take a walk whenever she wants! I mean sure if you walk somewhere beautiful with her that's a start. But you want her to be there with you, not looking after you. You've gotta take charge and show her that you're capable. You're fun. She wants to be with you!"
revvinguptheharley: (So here's the deal)

[personal profile] revvinguptheharley 2013-06-03 06:42 pm (UTC)(link)
Harley's lips twitched, and then she giggled and laughed sighing "OK that was a good one. You hold onto that. Girls love a guy who can make them laugh."

Straightening up she began to pace. "Alright, I don't wanna do all the work for you but I'll help you out with the gift. What's her favorite animal?"
revvinguptheharley: (Eep!)

[personal profile] revvinguptheharley 2013-06-09 03:59 am (UTC)(link)
"Yeesh!" Harley recoiled from his smile, "Might wanna talk to your stylist about getting a fresh set of pearly whites if you're gonna be grinning like that deadhead."

But she liked his enthusiasm so she kept it up. "Alright, if you have to guess, does she make you think of any particular animals? Kitty cats? Puppy dogs? Dolphins or ponies?"

"Oh! Oh that's perfect I know just the thing! You stay here." She ordered and took off like a bolt to the door.

She was excited at least. But even at Harley speed it took her ten minutes to get back. She dashed back in laughing cheerfully.

"You got that right! Check this out." She produced a blush sunflower with a smiling face. It began to wiggle and dance.

"There's a shop that sells these things, they dance and bob when there's sun. Whattya think?"

"Poifect!" She cheered and threw the toy into the air producing the card with the shops address on it and trying to tuck it between R's cold dead fingers before catching the toy on it's way back down.

"You get your handler to take you there and you buy one for her. That'll get you started on your big romantic night!"
