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.

7 LET'S DO THIS

[nofarplaneyet]

This is your fault.

[Auron points to the crystal floating above their heads.]

How are we supposed to get rid of this thing?

[rokubro]

Okay, how is it my fault?

[Wow, rude, gramps.]

Could try attacking it.

[HIS NUMBER ONE SUGGESTION OF COURSE.]

[nofarplaneyet]

Believe me, I've tried that in the past. Doesn't work.

The floating variety is new. Usually if you want to get freed from this...

...you gotta kiss someone.

[rokubro]

[He's just.

Going to stare at Auron.

With such a dead stare.]

Yeeeeah, no offense, old man, but I'm not kissing you.

[He's familiar with the general tradition of the whole kiss under the special plant thing, but it was never really a requirement.]

[nofarplaneyet]

Not exactly eager to make out with you either.

But this thing may not leave us alone until we try something. Maybe just...affectionate?

[rokubro]

[THIS IS SO WEIRD?? He's just going to stare up at it.]

You sure that if we don't try attacking together it won't break?

[He did kick his ass that one time—]

[nofarplaneyet]

Pretty sure. And I bet that we're both stuck going the same direction until we make it happy. Try to go somewhere while I stand here.

[rokubro]

[Well, worth a shot.]

All right... [A little skeptical that such a little thing could have that much power, BUT. He's going to start walking down the street to see how far he gets.]

[nofarplaneyet]

[Auron watches as the floating crystal doesn't let Rokurou get very far before forcing him to stop.]

Like I said...

[rokubro]

[HOLD ON.

HE'S GOTTA DO SOMETHING SUPER DUMB.




Which is take a few steps back and then just RAM IN WITH HIS SHOULDER!

It goes as expected, which is him not only hitting that invisible force, but said force rebounding him back into Auron. Heads up, old man, one stupid, stubborn daemon flying right at you.]

[Somehow, Rokurou's allowed on school grounds again. ALSO somehow, the both of them get caught underneath a certain piece of shrubbery under one of the doorways. (Probably while escorting him to make sure he doesn't cause any trouble.) This is SO not what she had in mind.]

Oh no... No no no, not this...

[rokubro]

[He told her she was being overdramatic stalking him like this, now look what it got them.

In any case, Rokurou is going to be puzzled since this is his first time experiencing this kind of thing.]

So...I take it you know what's going on here?

[heartofalioness]

[SIIIIIGH.]

Are you familiar with any traditions surrounding mistletoe?

[rokubro]

You mean the whole kissing thing? [That much he knows, at least!





Ah.] ...Let me guess, that's done differently in this place.

[heartofalioness]

A bit, but you have the gist at least. We're stuck under here until we fulfill certain conditions. There should be a note attached to the sprig telling us what we need to do.

[If it's a kiss on the mouth, so help her Peromei, Elios, and Sosyne...]

[rokubro]

Should I be blaming an Arehtei for this? Like a certain love crazed bird?

[LOOK IT SOUNDS LIKE SOMETHING ELIOS WOULD DO???? But a note, huh...

He'll look up and see a slip of paper sticking out, reaching for it and then opening it between them so she can see what terror they may have to endure.]

[heartofalioness]

"A kiss on the hand." [GROAN.] No offense, but thank goodness that's all...

[rokubro]

[Oh. WELL.]

None taken, kind of have mutual feelings on that. Also no offense. [Just to cover his bases.] And hey, if that's all, I'll take it.

[And well. Since there's no point in futzing around about this, he'll just hold out his hand palm up as if to take hers.]

[heartofalioness]

Also none taken.

[Welp, might as well. She places her hand in his. Hopefully this'll be quick and THEN she's tearing that sprig out of the roof.]

[rokubro]

[...Maaan this still feels weird. And he's a guy who doesn't care too much about anything.

Oh well.

HERE GOES NOTHING. Just going to. Do the good ol' raise the girl's hands to his lips and give a light peck to the back of her hand. Not even a full a second, unless you count the raising part.]

Did it work?

...rng gave me 7. IT'S TIME. /)//w//(\

[mooglebow]

Wh... why is there a crystal above us now?

[...right there's a note, and she pales when she sees their instructions and what they were telling them to do, and shoves it at Rokurou. --Hey, her cheeks match the colour of her hair!]

RNG KNOWS WHAT NEEDS TO BE DONE

[rokubro]

[Just staring.]

No ide— [And then HAS A NOTE RUDELY SHOVED AT HIM?? He'll take a moment to sideeye her before he reads it.



Okay, taking that sideeye back, completely warranted.]

Uh......... [Just looks at her, then the note, then the crystal.] Okay, this just has to be some kind of prank. It's not like this thing can really make us do any of this.

[SHE'S ALSO ENGAGED??? DOES THIS CRYSTAL KNOW THAT?? But yes, surely they can just you know. Walk right out.]

[mooglebow]

Are you sure?

[Gonna slide to the left, watching the crystal, but she doesn't go too far from where Rokurou is... because she can't.

So slide to the right. Still the same. now cha cha real smoooooth-- no]

I can't move away from you, so I'm pretty sure that means that we're going to have to do something.

[rokubro]

[......Well. This isn't. Good.

He'll also try moving, and while he gets a step farther—the magical forces that be just shoves him right back, almost making him bump into Serah. Good grief.]

I'd try slicing it, but since we can't really move that far from each other I'm afraid of accidentally hitting you. [Because of course he'd also try cutting it down. ...Which to be fair isn't a bad idea, but. ...Ugh.]

But this thing basically wants us to act like a couple and go on a date. [JUST. GOING TO LOOK AT HER.] You can't be okay with that.
