TIME FOR CHRISTMAS MEME

[guardiss]

KISS or TELL
( the mistletoe with a twist meme )

➀ There's mistletoe everywhere. Everywhere. Your character is underneath it now.
➁ Once underneath it with someone else (a replier) they are stuck in place until they do one of two things: kiss or tell a secret about themselves.

➂ It doesn't matter who tells their secret, initiates the kiss, etc. Whenever it happens they're 'free'... Until the next incident.
➃ Do not try and destroy the mistletoe. It won't work and bad things will happen. (See: Burning, freezing, electrocuting, and biting. Yes. It bites. )
➄ This can happen multiple times to the same pair: Threadjacking, 'leaving and coming back', etc, can have the process repeat even if they've already done it before.

[Oh, hi, Okuu. THis is going to end well.]

Oh, geez. Uh. Hi.

[omnomsgods]

[ Hi Jak. Have an Okuu who does not know what to do in this situation. So-- ] ...This community likes to just put two people together for now reason, huh?

[precursorstone_gun_nest]

Yeah, something like that.

Don't know if you even have this thing with mistletoe in your world.

[omnomsgods]

...Is it good to eat?

[precursorstone_gun_nest]

Not... really. I think I remember hearing somewhere it's poisonous. Though I guess if anybody was going to be immune to that it would be you.

But I mean a lot of worlds have this tradition about people meeting under the mistletoe having to kiss. The community just likes to enforce it.

[omnomsgods]

So... it's like that spinning-bottle game?

[precursorstone_gun_nest]

Yeah, basically.

Though apparently you can get away with telling secrets instead of kissing this time. I don't know if I actually have any secrets, though...

[omnomsgods]

Unyu, I have a secret...!

[precursorstone_gun_nest]

Really? Huh, that could work then. I think we only need one secret, so... what is it?

[omnomsgods]

I like you!

[precursorstone_gun_nest]

...

[Wow, he really doesn't know what to say to that. They're probably free, but he's just going to... stand here for a minute. There's always a possibility she didn't mean it like that, right...?]

[omnomsgods]

Unyu, we're free.

[ She even beats her wings happily, lifting off the ground for a moment. ]

[precursorstone_gun_nest]

Yeah, looks like it.

[He steps back a little, because wow, downdraft.

Still, seeing her happy is good... even if he's still trying to figure out how to tell a nuclear-powered girl with questionable stability that he's taken.]

[omnomsgods]

But-- you really don't have any secrets to share, huh? [ Awww, she wanted to know! ]

[precursorstone_gun_nest]

... Okay, I do have one. I used to sort of have a crush on a friend of mine from the community.

[And watch him turn red as he admits it. The only other person who actually knows is the person in question.]

But that was a long time ago.

[omnomsgods]

Heeeh-- so... so! Are they still here or...?

[precursorstone_gun_nest]

They are, but we're not... like that. We talked about it and decided it was a bad idea.

The community seemed to think it was funny, though. We seem to have this tendency to end up together whenever the community gets a chance, unless it can think of something funnier.

[omnomsgods]

Yes, but... that does mean you still have a good friend.

[precursorstone_gun_nest]

Yeah, it does. Sometimes it surprises me when I find out how good.

[omnomsgods]

Can I ask who they are?

[precursorstone_gun_nest]

... I'm not sure she'd appreciate it if I did. The whole thing was kind of embarrassing on both sides.

[Well, that, and he isn't sure how Utsuho will react to Rose coming up.]
