Mistletoe Meme

-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!

[He's approaching Hibiki, with a bagged treat in his hands. It's a large sugar cookie shaped like a present. The frosting is dark purple with lighter purple snowflakes. There's a ribbon and bow of gold on it.]

And as is tradition...

[He's leaning in brushing her bangs aside and kissing her forehead delicately.]

[priforprince]

[ Confections from Alan! Who remembered the proper colors. Hibiki is certain this cookie must be from an elite celebrity bakery, because that and no other method is totally how one shows their affection when giving someone food.

The kiss gets a blink, but it's formalized enough that she's cool with it. ]

Joyeux Noël, Monsieur.

[amongthethorns]

[Alan expected nothing of her honestly. She's just a child and he doesn't do these things to get anything in return. A smile is enough.]

Have you never had to deal with Mistletoe before?

[But he's smiling brightly at that greeting. He's taken French, it's a requisite of the academy and especially needed when you have to communicate with other dispatches.]

Joyeux Noël, à toi aussi, Mademoiselle Hibiki

[priforprince]

[ Hibiki is extremely pleased that Alan knows Prench, if not surprised.

She also is not bothered that her experience with social mistletoe is limited. ] It's usually been employed as a present for my fans.

[ "Present" is in English. It....usually is. ]

[amongthethorns]

[He's surprised himself with how easily he'd picked it up then again he's always been a diligent student.]

As a gift or the kiss that is traditional with it?

[He's curious. After all to him kisses are reserved acts of affection for friends, family, or lovers.]

[priforprince]

Can't the kiss be the gift?

[ On their hands, of course. No one might survive the face. ]

[amongthethorns]

Well, I don't see why not?

[Then again he's old fashioned.]

Assuming you're both comfortable with such a thing. I always thought kissing was supposed to be something special is all.

[priforprince]

It's the only Christmas present anyone receiving it needs.

[ thus, the MOST special ]

Some went without other presents entirely to savor it all the more.

[amongthethorns]

If you say so, Hibiki

[Because he knows there's no real arguing with that and he really doesn't want to waste his breath on it.]

It must be to give up all your other gifts for a simple kiss.

[Like he can say he wouldn't if it was the right person. Is he the kettle or the pot?]

[priforprince]

I make sure to satisfy.

[ This is the smile of someone remembering a day they very much enjoyed. ]

[amongthethorns]

Well, I can't say that I doubt that.

[Then again Alan knows zip about kisses. If it's not on the cheek, the hand or the forehead..]

I think you just like making all the young misses swoon, don't you?

[priforprince]

[ Hibiki's smile curls even as her lashes lower. Forget being a cat that looks right at you before they knock things off the table - she's a cat that got caught in the cream container but kept on lapping.

Then she realizes she's making that face, so she changes the subject. ]

We should vacate this space for others'....experiences.

[amongthethorns]

[Alan is laughing softly at the look on her face.]

Pleasant memories I trust.

[But she's right and he's gently touching her shoulder steering her away happily.]

I do hope you enjoy your treat.

[priforprince]

[ Once they get moving, Hibiki is perfectly capable of steering herself. She is captain not only of her own vessel, but of any others she happens to board. ] It cannot help but delight.

[ She has purple cookies. ]

[amongthethorns]

[Alan is letting her go as she pleases following after her with smile.] I'll take your word for it, dear.

[priforprince]

[ Being allowed to do as she pleases is, in turn, pleasing.

Hibiki does not mind Alan's company at all. ]
