GUESS WHAT TIME IT IS

[justpastdawn]

  ✾ MISTLETOE MEME ✾

All right guys, since we can't do this in-game, we shall have an OOC meme for it instead! Nothing will carry over into the game, so just have fun with it. Here's how it works:

• You are stuck under a random mistletoe.
• There is a note on said mistletoe.
• Whoever comes within range will be pulled under the mistletoe and also be stuck.
• Now you both have to do what the note says to get unstuck.
• EMOTIONS ARE STILL IN EFFECT so have fun with that.

State your preferences!

1. Hug. Easy enough. Can be a simple hug or a giant bear hug.
2. Kiss on the cheek. For those who might be a little shier.
3. Kiss on the hand. For those who want to be...well, whatever kissing on the hand invokes. Charming? Dashing?
4. Kiss on the forehead. Because sometimes you have to brush their hair out of their faces, and that's cute.
5. Kiss on the lips. 1-2-3 KISS. This is the tame version of the next one.
6. Make-out for five minutes. That escalated quickly!

And a brand new Emp-centric option for this year:

7. Ship crystals! Some of the mistletoe this year is attached to large crystals, and "just a kiss" is not gonna help you here. No, these things want fluff. In addition to kisses, they want you to hold hands, and sit in a cute shop drinking a milkshake out of one glass with two straws, and give each other flowers, and all manner of other disgusting shippy things. And it will not let you separate until you have filled it with enough fluff drops to satisfy it*. Use a variety of different kisses to speed the process up and enjoy your temporary new significant other! Hopefully one or both of you is romantic enough to think of things to do. ᕕ( ᐛ )ᕗ

*You can move around and go on cute dates. It will float over your heads as you wander like a horrible crystal voyeur.

Noctis Lucis Caelum

(ooc | OTA, but more innocent options for underaged characters.)

1. They are overdue for more of this.

[regisrex]

[ Regis is walking towards Noct when there's a slight change in the air. The kind that actually... is familiar, though it has been a year since he has felt it. Actually, that makes sense, though he still looks up to verify it is, indeed, the mistletoe thing.

Then he clears his throat. ]

Ah... son?

they are

[brotrips]

[ The shift isn't familiar to Noctis, but he can tell that something has changed. It's almost as if the air itself has become a barrier. ]

Hey... Did you just do something?

[ Maybe it's an emotional thing.]

[ Lunafreya has no idea what mistletoe is, or the havoc that it is able to wreak upon the innocent citizens of this world. She's not paid much attention to the other people who have caught themselves in strange predicaments all day, no, instead having her face buried in her usual Joy of Baking book because stars above, she is bound and determined to bake the best cookies for her household that she can. And cakes, of course. Pies, too... tis the season and all that. At least, this is what she's been told about the upcoming holiday that some people have been mentioning.

Her book has been set aside for now, though, and she's headed in the direction of her beloved, a bright smile on her face. She's got two cups in her hand -- it's getting chillier, and instead of getting iced drinks today, she's opted for two hot chocolates. She approaches Noctis with a kiss to his cheek in greeting, offering a warm cup over to him. ]

Good afternoon, Noctis. [ Another kiss, this time pressed to his other cheek... and she glances up, noticing something. A plant... with a crystal. Directly above Noct's head... and now it settles between them. ]

What a lovely decoration. Are you making it do that? [ You know. The creepy hovering thing. ]

[brotrips]

[ As simple as a kiss on the cheek may seem, Noctis will never tire or take it for granted. This is something he dreamed of but never achieved. Now, it's in his life. ]

Thanks.

[ He smiles more now. He doesn't notice, but around Luna, his smile comes so easily. She brings him genuine joy and happiness. ]

Huh? It's...

[ Oh. OH. Unlike Luna, Noctis has noticed. He's been warned. ]

No, it's not me. It's uh... Luna, ever hear of mistletoe?

[luxoraculi]

[ She can honestly say that she feels the same way. The smile she wears is frequent, genuine, and full of the lightness and happiness that Noctis fills her with on a daily basis. His mere presence brings to her a childlike joy that she never thought she'd be able to feel again. ]

You are very welcome.

[ Her head tips to the side ever so slightly, though. ]

No, I've not heard of such a thing. It is a lovely decoration... if you are not doing it, then, has it decided to decorate you on its own, my love~?

[ That probably makes no sense, and yet... not a whole lot in this world does, and for all she knows this 'mistletoe' thing is something that is assigned as a semi-permanent decoration. ]

[brotrips]

I don't know why it's there. I don't think it's going to keep following me around.

[ Luna draws his attention away briefly with her pet name. In his chest, Noctis' heart dances. It's a simple saying, and yet it causes such a strong reaction inside of him. ]

There's a tradition with it. When two people's under it... they're supposed to kiss.

[ Noctis keeps his eyes locked with hers, even as he feels embarrassed to say it. He's growing more confident in what they are, but it all still feels too good to be real. ]

It is tradition.

[luxoraculi]

Perhaps it wishes to merely grace you with its company.

[ It's half a joke, half... not. Because this city, as much as she loves it here, is kind of weird, and she really wouldn't count that out. A slender brow arches up, however, because she's not heard of such a tradition before, but it certainly sounds like a nice tradition. ]

Is it? I see. Then I suppose we've no choice but to follow through with tradition. It would be offensive otherwise, really.

[ Her tone is gentle, full or mirth, and there's a warm smile to accompany her words as she moves to sit her hot chocolate down because honestly, the last thing she wants to do is accidentally dump it all over her dear young king. But she's back in record time, stepping close enough to lightly wind her arms around his neck. ]

For the sake of tradition, then. [ Despite her teasing words, there's no hesitation as she closes her eyes and leans up slightly on her toes to lightly press her lips against his. Every time they kiss, it never fails to make her heart flutter and heat flood her chest, and this time is no different. She lingers just a little longer than she should, probably, but she can't help herself... she does finally pull away, though, granting him his freedom once more should he wish it. ]

I would not mind if it decided to follow you around, you know. [ Not that she needs mistletoe as an excuse to kiss him, of course. She can find her own excuses for that, after all. ]
