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.

[Burning it... he politely refrains from pointing out that even normal metal doesn't tend to take to regular burning, much less fancy space metal.]

I... see.

[...awkward silence... hope you weren't expecting him to gladly offer to take it back or anything.]

[ Look, if he can melt down a meteorite he should certainly be able to melt down anything else. Nevertheless, there's still an arm here. Close at hand, if you will. ]

It's not something to leave lying around for just anyone to trip over.

[ It's fine for it to be a bit awkward. This is what is known as boiling the frog, because it stops it from getting real awkward all at once when Bulat tenderly lifts the hand to his lips and plants a courtly kiss on the back. It's not like he's never made out with anyone in armor, so this is tame as far as he's concerned. There's no flesh there, so. ]

Now, did that do the trick, or does it want me to use tongue?

[wannabepaladin]

[...That's why he pulled that out??]

[He's honestly not sure whether to be more embarrassed or horrified.]

...Or you could put that away and never do that again? Please.

[ The arm disappears back into Bulat's pockets in a flagrant disrespect for physics. Shiro is free to think nothing more about his former appendage and who might be making out with it. ]

Ah? You'd rather I kiss the one still attached to you?

[wannabepaladin]

[On second thought, maybe he should have asked for the arm back. Who knows what Bulat's been doing with it??]

...That's not exactly how I'd put it. But it's a little less weird than kissing my old severed arm, sure.

[Which probably didn't work anyway. Darn picky mistletoe.]

[steel_over_blood]

Just a little less, huh, I see where I stand.

[ Bulat's getting down on one knee because that's the knightly way to do it, Shiro's a paladin - paladinish, in any case - which is basically the same thing. ]
