because it's just about 11/11 icly...

November 11th: international pocky day.

•Pocky is a simple Japanese snack comprised of a thin biscuit stick coated in flavoured icing, from your generic chocolate and strawberry, to your more sophisticated green tea, almond crush, cookies and cream, and even amber whiskey. If you can conceive it, chances are there's a pocky, or pocky knockoff, box out there for you.
•The pocky game is a similarly simple phenomenon: two players, one pocky stick. Whoever bites their end of the pocky stick to the middle without pulling away is the winner -- even if doing so means getting a little up close and personal. Alternately, another ruleset says you have to keep eating the pocky until you kiss, so...
•All characters in the meme have a box of pocky. They can't leave until it's gone, and somehow, the sticks don't stay gone if they're eaten by just one person. Better start recruiting some partners.
•Post your blank toplevels with your characters, tag around to other pocky-stuck players, and have fun!

I don't need such vulgar confections!

[ Hibiki tosses her box of Pocky over one shoulder in defiance of the meme. It's headed for Chinatsu's, well, head. ]

[redmare]

[ Actually, face was more accurate. As the box slips down, a very annoyed expression is revealed. Catching the box, she pulls her arm back then chucks it right at the back of Hibiki's head. ]

DON'T THROW FOOD!

1/2

[priforprince]

Don't stand where I'm throwing food, either!!

[ Hibiki raises a hand to catch the box. She squeezes it. ]

2/2

[priforprince]

[ It pops open and a stick falls into her mouth. ]

Ah.

[redmare]

I hope you choke!

[ Which she doesn't really mean. Just in that moment. ]

[priforprince]

[ Hibiki might not hear this, fortunately. She's trying to remove the stick, and.....

And she can't. It's. Stuck. She can tug on it all she wants, she can move her tongue beneath it. But it's hovering in the air within her mouth.

The meme will not be avoided. ]

What's...going on....???

[redmare]

[ Oh look. Instructions magically appeared. ]

...I have to do what what now?

[ Chinatsu narrows her eyes at Hibiki. ]

Is this one of your weird events?

[priforprince]

Does this look like my idiom?!

[ If it was hers, they'd be stuck feeding each other gateau chocolat or petit fours.

She grabs the stick of pocky with both hands and tugs. ] Nnnngh.....

[redmare]

It's ridiculous, so yeah!

[ Chances were it wasn't, since it didn't look like Hibiki had any control over this. ]

We need to play the stupid game.

[priforprince]

Preposterous. I refuse!

[ Hibiki tries to snap the pocky stick in half. It resists. ]

[mithrarin]

...So this is basically a candy-coated pretzel?

[Explain pocky to him, Chinatsu. He's confused.]

[redmare]

Chocolate-Coated. Sometimes strawberry, cookies and cream, matcha.... But coco's better.

[ She says between bites. Chinatsu had no problem with limitless supplies of pocky. ]

[mithrarin]

And there's a game with it, huh?

[As usual, Dust's grin is all challenge. From what he's read of the game, there's no way she'll manage to make it through a round.]

[He pops one stick between his teeth, making the call-out all the clearer.]

Celty Sturluson | Durarara!!

[lookingforhead]

[Celty just looks at the pocky stick...and then just offers the whole thing.]

[doodlebuginette]

[Mari just ... kind of glances between the offered pocky and Celty a couple of times.

She's familiar with the concept of the game, but this is kind of a special circumstance...]

[lookingforhead]

[Celty's familiar with it too. The perks of living in Japan for a good twenty years not that she precisely remembers but this sort of game is a lost sort of thing with her, so she just gestures again with the pocky in platonic offering.]

[doodlebuginette]

[To say she was at a loss would be a bit of an understatement. For a moment she's wondering if she should say... something. But what would she even say?

Fortunately, Celty makes the decision for her.

Marinette smiles and takes the offered treat, though she did feel a bit bad that she couldn't think of a way for Celty to enjoy it too.]

Thanks!
