merry merry christmas, and I want you to know

[mansionstaff]

Who: YOU
What: KISSLETOES
When: December 14th - January 1st
Where: Everywhere
Warnings: Sloppy makeouts.

SUDDENLY, AND WITHOUT WARNING...



The entire school has become covered in mistletoe overnight. It grows out of the walls! The ceilings! Everywhere you least expect it? HOW CAN THIS BE??

It's probably best not to think about it. Attempts to uproot the plants or burn them away only makes the plants grow back faster. For the time being, it seems the school must live with it.

[OOC INSTRUCTIONS:
+ Post dudes, get kisses!
+ Some (NOT ALL) plants are cursed. If you manage to step under a cursed plant, you will exchange a memory when or if you exchange a kiss. The memories will be first-person and very vivid, and characters will feel like they are experiencing the memory in real time, though in reality the transfer is instantaneous. Memories can be as short, long, happy, sad, or traumatic as you like.
+ If you'd like to participate, we highly suggest making a list of a few memories (with accompanying links/descriptions) that are up for grabs, and linking or posting the list in your top-level comment. Memory exchange is COMPLETELY OPTIONAL. When in doubt, OOC communication!
+ PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE TAG YOUR CHARACTERS
+ That's it, we love you.]

It was back. The most sleazy tradition Shantae could recall. Plants that forced people to kiss! She wasn't able to find the source of the offensive flora, but this year she was determined to get to the bottom of this "tradition!"

::If by 'getting to the bottom of the tradition' you meant 'having a large blue man ask you if you wanted a shoulder punch or a kiss,' then yes, you were getting down to the bottom of this tradition in great style.::

Excuse me?

Re: Shantae

[bluetanker]

We're underneath the mistletoe. I'm supposed to kiss you, but since I don't know you, it seems nicer to give somebody shoulder tap instead.

Re: Shantae

[magicdancer]

...Oh! Well that's thoughtful of you. Sure, that's fine by me!

::See how much better things run when you listen to Max? So much better.::

::Max reaches over and gives you a low-level shoulder punch because he cannot tell how much you can take::

Re: Shantae

[magicdancer]

[And she returned the punch. That was much better than being forced to kiss someone.]

[flamedog]

Don't worry. Kisses from this guy are great. You get like eleventeen of them and the entire time you're kept warm by the amazing amount of fuzz.

Re: Shantae

[magicdancer]

That's a lot of kisses.

"Hey! Cut that out! One's enough!" she finally protested.

Re: Shantae

[flamedog]

Jock looks at you in confusion. One is never enough. He sticks his giant doge nose on your shoulder and whines.

Re: Shantae

[magicdancer]

"Don't give me that look," she told the big fluffy cat dog thing. "I know you're also a big hairy guy!"

Re: Shantae

[flamedog]

"But that's not the real me; the real me is this me," said Jock. Only, you know, it sounded like growls and whines and tiny barks.

Re: Shantae

[magicdancer]

Yeah, that wasn't helping. And she didn't quite get it yet either. "I can't understand a word you're saying," she told him. "Also, you're not helping your case."

Re: Shantae

[flamejock]

Fine, fine, you've forced it out of him. There's that poof of smoke or whatever and instead of a puppy it's a muscular dude.

"I said that the real me is the Arcanine me. The human body is just something I'm borrowing to go to school. This isn't real me. Real me is covered in fur," several handfuls of chest hair were poking out of the top of his shirt, "and stripes" his forearms were clearly striped, "and I breathe fire," he does this as a human, "and I'm so cute," ditto, "and walk on all of my legs," okay that's different, "and I'm a dog!" also something different.

Re: Shantae

[magicdancer]

"You know, you still do most of those things as a human," she pointed out to him. This kind of thing didn't even faze her anymore, obviously.

[tempus_fixit]

FOOM!

Hey, look who it is! The human flamethrower. From down the hall Lucca waves over at Shantae, an odd look of contentment on her face as her off-hand launches a plume of flame that roasts some mistletoe overhead.

[magicdancer]

"I see you found a good way to deal with the outbreak," Shantae explained, waving as she approached her friend.

[But not before you get a SMOOCH from Flurrie~]

[magicdancer]

[How can this be.]
