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!

A curse, hm? ... Though you do not seem terribly concerned by it.

[Then again, is Caster ever terribly concerned by anything.]

[futhark]

[ Very, very rarely, but it's possible! Would need a specific condition to trigger, though. ]

If it's a curse, there is a way to break it. It just so happens that I've learned already how to deal with this particular curse.

[sageprincess]

And that method is...?

[Suddenly she has a bad feeling about this. Why are you being coy, sir...]

[futhark]

[ Because he's horrible, and this is a new hobby of his... So he gives her a wink and without ounce of shame proclaims ]

Like many curses before, this one too is broken with a kiss.

[ Fairy tales sometimes don't lie- just like fairies, so it makes sense ]

[sageprincess]

Oh.

[Fuck.]

W-Well. That's. A simple enough condition to satisfy.

[She juts out her hand, the implication being that he can kiss that, instead. Though it's very prideful of her to think she can loophole abuse her way out of this one...]

[futhark]

[ Princesses that say think word "fuck", the world is truly ending, what would your subject think? ]

Aren't we lucky... [ He was going to suggest the hand-kissing himself- even if just to tease and throw her off more. But he should have know better, because now she's a step ahead of him. He takes offered hand in his own, holding it gently, as something precious- and presses a kiss where she could wear a ring

full gallantry, he can do that ]

[sageprincess]

[Meaningless. Utterly meaningless. That's what she tells herself as he holds her hand so gently, that this is just a means to an end, a gesture of respect for royalty and nothing more.

Then she tries to step out from under the damnable plant, and... can't.]

... It did not work.

[LET ZELDA SAY FUCK.]

[futhark]

Perhaps I got the wrong hand?

[ And the spirits of mistletoe are incredibly particular which hand gets kissed, and which-- not. But hey, gotta try right? ]

[sageprincess]

[Said hands are being curled into fists as her brow twitches, because she is mildly embarrassed but not stupid--]

You are toying with me, aren't you.

[futhark]

I expected this to happen, true. [ Yup, he admits to that flatly. ] But you had to see it for yourself, no?

[ If he said from the start it's not going to work, she could think he's trying to coax her into a kiss. ]

[sageprincess]

[HE'S RIGHT AND THAT'S TERRIBLE.]

You are infuriating...

[She mutters grumpily, but in this case her frustration gives her the boldness to do what she might not otherwise, which is grabbing hold of the fur of his stupid cloak and pulling him down to her level by his stupid neck and forcefully kissing his stupid face--

--... and also proving that she has probably never kissed anyone, ever, in her life. Congrats, Caster. You won your prize. It's not very good.]

1/2

[futhark]

[ Ding, ding, we have a winner here. Congratulations on successfully shocking this bastard. Caster expected the game to go a little bit longer- maybe not too long since they both wanted out- but yeah, what he did not expect was getting on collision course face-first.

Good, or not, is irrelevant, the sheer boldness of this move sells it. And as long as no one broke a tooth from the hit. Maybe he should have gone ahead, and initiated or something, instead of playing that "annoying troll" but alas... ]

2/2

[futhark]

[ Now that the curse effect is lifted and their feet are no longer glued in place he takes a step back- cloak hold or not. ]

Success- it worked! [ He laughs and gives her a quick bow. ] You got a lot to learn, princess, but that's a good start.
