mistleglow: a kissing meme

Some residents may remember that back in September, a love-drunk and confusion-spell-addled newlywed mage from Gramarye Magic Research let loose some pretty little fairy lights that trapped people in the city in little invisible bubbles until they kissed (and any kind of kiss would do). Well, the same slightly-less-newlywed but no less romantically-inclined mage happens to really, really enjoy the winter season, and thinks it's totally romantic. That particular sentiment is pretty common in the Quarantine - while Hygge is the celebration of familial love, the residents of the Quarantine all agree that that family often includes partners and lovers. Besides that, the folklore of mistletoe as being representative of love and friendship is something that the Quarantine has in common with the universes many residents inhabit.

So, as the last week and a half of December rolls around, residents around the Quarantine will see the result of the resident romantic trying to share a bit of Hygge love - small, glowing sprigs of mistletoe will be floating around the Quarantine, ready to trap people up and make them share a bit of affection.

how it works

● Two or more characters walking under one of these glowing, floating sprigs will get stuck for one hour, trapped inside an invisible enclosure with an approximate three foot radius. The only options are to either wait out the hour, or to kiss! Characters will know they're meant to kiss, because part of the magic spell is the sudden and intense knowledge that they should kiss in order to break free. There is no compulsion to kiss, just the knowledge that that's how to get free. This time, instead of any kind of kiss working, there will be different types of kisses that will work to release the trapped residents depending on the color of mistleglow:

RED: MOUTH ● ORANGE: NECK ● YELLOW: CHEEK
GREEN: FOREHEAD ● BLUE: HAND ● VIOLET: BUTTERFLY

Trapped residents will not know what kind of kiss will work for each color and may have to experiment before finding the right one.

● Post up a top-level for your character with the types of kisses you're interested in threading out, and then go forth and have your character kiss (or refuse to kiss) others!
● This meme is for characters already accepted into the game to play with the mistleglow prompt from this month's test drive meme. If your character is not yet accepted into the game, please use the TDM post!
● This meme is GAME CANON, so any threads played out in this meme can be carried through into the actual canon of the game.
● Much like the TDM, threads on this meme can count for Activity Points, but not the monthly Activity Check.

[Yu doesn't really bother to dodge the mistletoes when it's the season. A kiss on the cheek or a quick peck- it is a cute way to celebrate the season. It certainly lifts the spirits.

So when he runs into Makoto under one of these glowing mistletoes, he thinks nothing much of it. It's Makoto after all. He doesn't mind giving him a kiss. Or two. Or three.]

Makoto... we should stop running into each other like this. People will start talking.

[And Makoto doesn't mind getting a few kisses. He's actually been enjoying this so far. It's fun and he's met some great people.

Yu gets a grin from the other wildcard as he glances up and the mistletoe and recognizes the color.

Oh.

Another grin.]

Aw, worried about my reputation? Or yours?

[Actually, he'd worry more for Yu's, personally.] Have you seen orange yet?

My reputation is back in Inaba. I am yet to build one here.

[And Makoto looks too eager to help him with it. He's missed a punchline somewhere along the way, hasn't he? His friend looks way too happy.

Yu glances at the plant, frowning,]

I didn't know they changed colors. Do the kisses differ based on their color?

[...how did he get into this?]

That makes two of us, at least.

[Oh no, this is going to be a riot and he just can't wait to watch Yu deal with it.]

They do, yeah. I've had red and orange so far. I'm debating whether I should make you guess which orange is.

[Yu can sense Makoto just enjoying the fact that he's walking into this mistletoe business blind.]

Well... if I had to guess... Red is used as a 'warning' color so I suppose it's something like [ignore the heat in the cheeks, ignore the heat] making out?

That would make orange be on lower degree. Maybe a kiss on the cheek?

[Oh, he is. And he's going to savor this for years.]

You're not wrong on that. Red is getting right into things. [Make it easy? Makoto? Never!]

Hmm... warm but not quite. Want to guess again? I could tell you but where's the fun in that?

[Enjoy it while you can! Yu will definitively find... something for a payback!]

Hmm... if it isn't on the cheek then... perhaps a hand? Nose?

[His cheeks heat up a bit-] ...ear?

[He'll be waiting. With popcorn, or something.]

Not quite. Still kind of warm but the cheek was warmer. Hand is ice cold though.

[Mercy? What's that? He has none... yet.]

[And with the process of elimination, it is easy to conclude what the thing is. Especially since it's the only thing left open.

And it doesn't make Yu's cheeks less red.]

Neck, huh? That's... a bit embarrassing.

[On lips is quick. This... well...]

[Makoto should not be enjoying this as much as he is.

... but he is. ~~What an awful friend.~~]

It could be worse. [He's not sure how but it must get more awkward, right?]

Will it make you feel better if I do it?
