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.

( The capitol world looms distantly above them, stars shining around it; as a street lamp does nearby, some ten feet away. Its glow is soft enough to just illuminate the path around them; but it's behind them. The hunger in his gaze glitters darkly, and she has to catch her breath for a moment and adjust herself. She's full with him, and amazed, as always that he's here with her. That she has his love, that he's hers and she's his in almost every way now. A feeling of wonderment, of joy which rises and fills her heart every time they come together.

Her violet eyes meet his, and she smiles at his between kisses. At first her movements are slow, gentle, unhurried; a languid rise and fall upon him, her hair falling around them in a pale curtain.

Then she sucks at his bottom lip, one hand rising to fist itself in his hair, fingers twisting in the strands, and another clutches tightly at his back, nails digging into him. She doesn't look away, as has become her wont with him. Love truly does come in at the eyes with them, even if she can feel it with each touch, each press of his mouth on hers. A soft, shuddering sound escapes her, and she ducks her head to nip along his throat. )

[When she clutches at his hair and digs her fingernails into the muscles of his back and makes that sounds and kisses his throat, his expression becomes more intent, more carried away. His kisses are more fierce when her mouth comes back to his.

They are, for some reason, still trapped. No single kiss they've tried has released them; fucking on the ground isn't releasing them, and if that won't, what will? Will they have to huddle together for warmth all night until someone else comes to let them out? It would be more exasperating if he wasn't so absorbed in what they're doing... the way she feels and the warm scent of her and the sounds she makes. For a moment, he pauses to bury his face in her hair, which is softer still than it used to be.]

Oh, love. Maybe we'll take a tent out beyond the Wall some night.

[The words are slightly labored, and come between kisses.]

Then it would be -- proper, with something to sleep under, and --

( Huddling together for warmth is working out well-enough for them so far. Being wrapped up in him is keeping her mind well away from the pressing matter that they are caged in an invisible, magical box. Dany's mouth works fiercely against his, hungry for the sweet, heady taste of the mead he'd had earlier on his tongue.

Beneath the layers of clothes, her thighs are warm where they grip and hold his hips in place, her touch the same wherever it lands. The ground may be cold beneath him, but she surrounds him with heat enough to minimize its effect by a great deal. And the tight clench of her around his cock should be more than enough to banish the rest. Dany rests there with him a moment, dazed and panting when their kiss briefly parts. He's nuzzling her hair, almost, and she's somewhat giddy that she'd decided to wash it earlier with some kind of berry-smelling soap.

It's done wonders, and for his hair, too, she finds as she drags her fingers through his curls. )

Not maybe, my sweet wolf. We will.

( She nips at his mouth, rising up along his length to whisper huskily against his ear: )

Yes. And we'll spend all night doing anything but sleeping in the bedroll we'll share.
