Mistletoe Meme

[redotiertwo]

-Post a toplevel with your character
-Through some magical shenanigans, they are now stuck under the mistletoe until they kiss. Maiming, destroying, or otherwise attempting to get rid of the mistletoe won't work - it'll just grow right back!
-Tag out to others to help them, laugh at them, laugh at them and then help them, etc. Player discretion as to whether any kiss will work, or whether it has to be on the lips. Whatever's the most fun for everyone!
-On that note, have fun!

[Now he's even more curious! He had to see what made it so special by looking around it, somehow while staying in the boundaries of the 'magic']

It looks like an ordinary plant to me...

[heartshutter]

Aah, it's mistletoe, actually!

[ A small, sideward shrug before he states the next part point-blank. ]

If two people get caught standing underneath it, they're supposed to kiss.

[trademark_skull]

What?

[Ew gross.]

I ain't doing that!

[heartshutter]

Sorry, sorry!

[ Such rage! Tatara is all handwaves and contrition. ]

You don't have to!

[ A pause. ]

...I think.

[trademark_skull]

'You think'? It's just some sup-- [As Emizel walked further away from the center he bump into something that wasn't even there.] What the...

[He poked a finger forward until it hit the wall again. A force field? Okay which shinki was doing this?]

[heartshutter]

Ehh?

[ He'd been fully prepared to let Emizel be. There's no satisfaction in forcing someone into something they very obviously don't want to do, after all. However... ]

Is it--... are you stuck?

[trademark_skull]

It won't let me out!

[Pushes on it again - nothing.]

Is it doing that for you?

[heartshutter]

Aah, I haven't tried...

[ But, sure -- he'll reach around himself then, making to leave just for show. And, well... ]

Looks like it is. How strange!

[trademark_skull]

[Oh no...they really are trapped here?]

There's gotta be someone pulling this off, we need to find them!

[No why is he going to believe some plant is doing all this..]

[heartshutter]

It's fine, it's fine! Some elder gods are probably playing a prank, is all. It'll be over soon, I bet.

[ He waves a hand at first, then shrugs. ]

Sorry you're stuck here with me, though.

[trademark_skull]

I...hope so.

[An awkward pause.]

....Though if I had to be stuck with anyone, I'm somehow okay that it had to be you.

[J-just saying ;;;]

[heartshutter]

[ Aw, Emi...

Tatara doesn't really know how to take such an unexpected compliment! There's a sheepish laugh, first. ]

That's nice of you to say!

[ And a sincere smile. ]

...You know, if you want to be un-stuck, that's fine, too.

[trademark_skull]

Well, I don't want to be here either.

[He shudders again at the thought of what he had to do to get free though.]

W-why does it have to be a kiss?!

[heartshutter]

Sorry, sorry! I don't make the rules!

But, maybe the cheek will work?

[ No need to go straight for the lips, right? Not when something lesser could do the trick. ]

[trademark_skull]

[If...if they are going to go through with this. Emizel is still having some doubts.]

...W-would that even work?

[It's not quite as bad, thankfully.]

[heartshutter]

[ A small shrug accompanies a well-intended smile. ]

There's only one way to find out!
