The "I've Been Stood Up" Meme!!
After waiting an hour & a half for your date to arrive, you realise you've been stood up.
What are you supposed to do now? All dressed up & nothing to do?
The meme is simple.
- Post a comment with your character having been stood up.
- People can then comment with their own characters either arriving late for the date ( Read more... )
* Nothing could have tickled Eames more than hearing that Arthur had agreed to (which is to say, was just short of coerced into) a dinner with Andrés Echevarria; a fellow point with a penchant for Arthur that he put very little effort into concealing. Whatever Arthur was calling it, everyone who knew Andrés would know what he'd be doing his best to turn it into. *

Not in the mood, Eames.

* If we're being honest here, Eames is in her hotel, her shoes off but her pearls still dangling from her ears because they cost a small fortune that Eames had obviously liberated on a five finger discount. Maybe she's a little... chuffed that a nice man wants to take Arthur out on a date and she's home looking over files. Talk about a role reversal here.
So. She's going to fall back on gossip, and obviously Arthur is the juiciest piece of gossip she has access to at the moment. *

[ Which is Arthur's way of telling her I told you so. He's not quite above taking one for the team, but all risks and sacrifices had to come with the promise of an equal or greater reward. And Echevarria's investment was not business-minded (which equated basically to 'unpredictable' in Arthur's book). In the end, he'd pushed for other, more viable alternatives. But Eames had a way of being convincing at times.
Much to Arthur's chagrin. ]

* Which is just the kind of text that gets on Arthur's nerves, but it's not her usual lazy spelling error and that should say something. Checking her phone again, the time reads twenty two minutes past their designated "meeting" (DATE) time and anyone who knows Arthur would realize that for something like this, its best to arrive ten minutes early. Andrés wouldn't risk Arthur getting there without a rose in hand (Hispanics, you can't even beat the romantic out of them) and a sickeningly sweet something to say about the way Arthur looked that night. *
ur at the right place yeah?
* As strange as it sounds, Eames is more willing to believe Arthur is in the wrong place (the chances of this happening are roughly one in four hundred thousand, but Andrés' luck might just be that bad) than the other point not showing up for the date he's nearly been hounding Arthur for since he first laid eyes on the other man. *

Not going to dignify that with a response.

Out of all of their leagues, more than likely. *
thats insane. he must b on his way. knowing u he has 12 passiv agressive mssgs on his mobile chastizing him 4 bing late.
* And yet, even though she wants that to be true, she's fastening her heel's straps around her ankles. How peculiar... *

[ In fact, Arthur is in the process of signaling for the waitress again, but the establishment is classy and puffed-up with its own self-importance so the wait-staff don't so much attend to the customers as make themselves available as they see fit to the experience they'd like to create. It is, needless to say, painstakingly tedious to actually flag one down if you're looking to speed up the process -- something that the staff here doesn't take too kindly.
He makes a mental note not to come here again. ]

* Which is to say she'd meant 12 passive agressive text messages because his mobile is very much a work phone, but still, the thought of Arthur sitting at some posh little table set for two, the tea candle set in the middle of the table, burning itself to a waxy death as Arthur feigns ignorance of the passing minutes, barely keeping his right leg from bouncing under the white tablecloth... Eames won't allow it. *
u shuld giv him 10 mor mins. think about his poor litl heart. or. think about the job.
* Eames is dressed, downstairs, and across town in record time, hoping against dear old Murphy and his blasted laws that Arthur hadn't changed the venue at the last minute. Shoving the keys to her 760i into the hands of the bored looking valet boy, Eames slips him a couple bills and doesnt wait for her ticket-- he'll remember her. Walking into the restaurant and past the greeter with an assurance that he need not worry about seating her (there's already one waiting for her, if Arthur hasn't left already ( ... )
