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!

You have no foot to stand on as regards the topic--

[ she recognizes the pun too late

and closes her mouth. ]

[badassfreakingoverlord]

Oh ha ha. Like the book jokes didn't get old five minutes into this experience.

[priforprince]

[ Hibiki doesn't look thrilled to have made it, either.

She is also now securely under that fed-up plant. ]

[badassfreakingoverlord]

[Zetta had never moved, so... Well, the physical proximity is starting to get irritating.]

Look, you're not hot. I think you might not realize that, so I gotta emphasize it.

[priforprince]

[ How blatant. Hibiki dips her chin and scoffs. ]

Your opinion matters little.

[badassfreakingoverlord]

Don't get me wrong, you've got the looks, but somehow you've managed to pack so much crap into your personality it totally spoils the package. I figured someone with YOUR ego might want to... you know, work on that.

[priforprince]

Judging a book by its cover is so pedestrian.

[ Yeah she

she's gonna be that petty ]

[badassfreakingoverlord]

..Okay, first, ha ha, but second, that was the complete opposite of what I was doing. See, I was saying you have a hot body. In this analogy, that would be the cover. But what's inside that cover, or body, is just... crap.

[He's... pretty sure he shouldn't be winning, and pretty sure he is?]

[priforprince]

Perhaps I was willfully misunderstanding you.

And taking a leaf out of your book.

[ HIBIKI ]

[badassfreakingoverlord]

[The Overlord heaves a sigh.]

...I'd be a lot more annoyed if you weren't making my point for me. At least have some pride.

[priforprince]

We're defining that differently, as well.

[ A PITY THERE'S NO DICTIONARY ABOUT---

no, she'll let her smirk do the talking for that one ]

[badassfreakingoverlord]

Right, see -- you may have missed the memo on this, but book or not, I'm a demon. More than just a demon, I'm an Overlord. An exemplar of evil. A living embodiment of malice, a bringer of despair, one who humbles heroes, mercenaries, and protagonists of other video games. And your particular brand of evil... just isn't. I mean, sure, it's evil, but that's just sort of incidental to all the stuff you're pulling. I'm not even sure if you're actually a villain, or just playing the 'tragically misguided' card for a few more points than its face value. Either way, you've managed to neatly land yourself as far from either camp as possible.

[priforprince]

[ Hibiki listens as patiently as she can, confident with the upper hand she feels she's gained, but the longer he talks, the more she kind of wants to twitch.

But, no, she won't lose her temper again. Hibiki sighs when he's finished. ] I'm not going for "villain".

Farewell.

[ Maybe she can leave in this directio---

Or maybe she'll run into an invisible wall. ]

[badassfreakingoverlord]

Right, that's... half my point right there. You're evil, but not villainous. You should have some pride in your evil!

[Man, his dignity would be so much more compromised if he could move more easily, and thus bonk into invisible walls too. Now he just looks like the cool and confident floating book, watching her Stooge it up.]

[priforprince]

[ Hibiki is ignoring Zetta in favor of lifting a foot and kicking the invisible wall.

Then, Hibiki is ignoring Zetta in favor of pulling a sword out of hammerspace and hacking at the invisible wall. The nobly determined expression on her face will certainly keep this endeavor from looking ridiculous. ]

[badassfreakingoverlord]

Uh, maybe I shouldn't point this out, but your ridiculous propensity to be subdued by comedy is also a sure sign you're a villain.

I'm just saying.

[He knows. He could almost sympathize, if she weren't his enemy, his unwilling and unacknowledging minion, and Hibiki.]

[priforprince]

Rrgh!

[ That sure is a sword that is now...stuck in the invisible wall and won't come out. Hibiki turns, leaves it, and marches up to Zetta.

She will now try to pluck him out of the air. ]

[badassfreakingoverlord]

[Being an infinite tome that contains all things that were or will be, Zetta is heavy and unwieldy. But certainly not unmanageable.]

What the --- gyacgh! You're only making my point!

[priforprince]

Be silent.

[ Hibiki looks up at the mistletoe, then down at Zetta. She sighs. ]

I really, deeply, truly don't want to resort to this, but every revolution creates martyrs....

[badassfreakingoverlord]

It's going to be me, isn't it.

[Zetta sees where this is going.]

[priforprince]

Hrgh.

[ Hibiki begins, extremely slowly - excruciatingly slowly - raising the book towards her face. ]

[badassfreakingoverlord]

So this is it.

[The scene fades, leaving only a lone spotlight on Zetta as he slowly moves.]

I've reached a new low. Trapped beneath the mistletoe with a girl who's physically attractive, and yet impossible to feel desire for. Who knew this day could come? Truly, I've lost everything.

1/2

[priforprince]

[ Hibiki glowers at this, but does not take the bait.

The distance closes further, and Zetta will find himself -- ]

2/3 i lied

[priforprince]

[ --passionately smashed against -- ]

3/3

[priforprince]

[ --the plush, squishy mouth of an overstuffed substitute doll.

Then he will find himself dropping to the ground, with the doll there to cushion his fall, as Hibiki's retreating figure walks briskly away. ]
