Happy holidays to your lips~

✾ MISTLETOE MEME ✾

• You are stuck under a random mistletoe.
• There is a note on said mistletoe.
• Whoever comes within range will be pulled under the mistletoe and also be stuck.
• Now you both have to do what the note says to get unstuck.

The "orders" range from cordial to making out, so state your preferences. Feel free to mix and match them, too. Here are your options:

1. Hug. Easy enough. Can be a simple hug or a giant bear hug.
2. Kiss on the cheek. For those who might be a little shier.
3. Kiss on the hand. For those who want to be...well whatever kissing on the hand invokes. Charming? Dashing?
4. Kiss on the lips. 1-2-3 KISS. This is the tame version of the next one.
5. Make-out for five minutes. As described on the tin.

Vash the Stampede - Anything is fine

[goldenglasses]

3!

[apurrstate]

Is this...a common tradition?

[Because being stuck under a hanging plant and demanded to do something somewhat intimate with another was not a common practice in Thedas.]

[goldenglasses]

[Vash stares up at the offending plant with the instructions attached.] Not on my planet it isn't. No offense Anders, but you're not exactly my "type" so I'm going to decline the thing's suggestion.

[And he's going to walk away.

Just walk away.

Walking calmly away.

Right into this invisible wall he can't get past.]

Huh, odd, I appear to be stuck.

[Shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit.]

[apurrstate]

[He can't help but be amused. He's tempted to ask if "type" meant his actual personality or more along the lines of his gender, but then Vash hits that wall and Anders' brow raises.]

Well, I suppose if we could just walk away from each other, it wouldn't be the entertainment Atroma's looking for.

[He looks back up at the instructions.]

It's just a kiss on the hand, right?

[goldenglasses]

No, I suppose it wouldn't.

[Ugh. This was a bit awkward.]

So do you think I have to kiss your hand? Or you need to kiss mine? Or do we need to kiss both? OH!! What if we kiss our own hands?

[apurrstate]

I don't know that they care who kisses whose hand...but I doubt that last one will work. We can certainly try, though. [He's definitely laughing at you now, pal.]

I'll try it. [He brings his hand up and presses a kiss to the back of it, then reaches out to where he suspects his 'side' of the wall is...only to press up against something invisible and unyielding.]

I'd have to say no.

Look, close your eyes and think of...whatever you want and I'll kiss your hand quickly, how about that?

[goldenglasses]

[Vash also takes a moment to kiss his hand and then try to leave before he relents with a small smile.] No need to go that far. [He wasn’t actually that disgusted by the idea of his hand getting kissed by pretty much anyone.] I was more hoping to find a loop hole in their game, but if you’re willing? [He holds out his hand without closing his eyes. The look on his face being one of clear amusement with just a hint of annoyance at the situation. He hated being forced to do anything regardless of what he was being forced into.]

rng said 1, so hugs it is

[scanninggaydis]

[Okay hugging isn't....terrible....


But it's still Vash. So Felix is still standing over here -------->

With his arms crossed over his chest.]

Hm.

All the hugs!

[goldenglasses]

[Vash has learned about this dastardly mistletoe and yet has wound up stuck under it once again.

When he sees Felix being lured in by the invisible trap he tries to stop it.] Wai-

[But don't come any closer for you see I am currently trapped under a mysterious piece of greenery that will not release me until we perform some sort of physical contact. So it would be ideal for both of us for you to stay away for the moment. is too long to say before Felix gets too close and trapped in the spot under the mistletoe with him.

Grinning and opening his arms Vash stands ready to hug.] Come on, how bad can a hug be? Unless you REALLY want to be stuck here forever with me.

[scanninggaydis]

Maybe if we stall they'll get bored.

[Hugs aren't actually that bad. But Felix can be stubborn as hell when he wants to be.

Especially with Vash grinning like that. Nope.]

[goldenglasses]

Really? You'd rather stand here bored then give a guy a quick, friendly hug?

[scanninggaydis]

I have a very rich inner life. Who says I'd be bored?

[But nah, he's just arguing for the sake of it, and he does have things to do today.

After a few moments, Felix sighs and shrugs.]

I'll take pity on you, though. I guess.

[...Man, though. It's just a hug and he still doesn't want to. It takes another few seconds before he starts walking over to Vash.]

[goldenglasses]

[Vash was going to give Felix a kind, quick hug, but not after all of that! He will pull Felix in close the moment he's in hugging range and squeeze. Not enough to actually hurt, but enough to make it uncomfortable l.]

[brothersboots]

[While there are words on the plant, Edna does not care.]

No.

[goldenglasses]

[Words that Vash THINKS he knows. To bad he didn't actually read what it was asking or he might have done something different.]

Come on! It's not going to be too awful. Just a quick kiss is all! [The note may have a word that starts with K, but it's not kiss!] You could even close your eyes!

[brothersboots]

[Well, to his credit, the plant's note does mention a kiss. Edna's just not that type of girl. Of course, there's another k word that she's far more comfortable with.]

No. [It bears repeating. And a little backup with her parasol into his stomach.] And if you think you're going to try again, I'll introduce you to the other words on that note.

[goldenglasses]

Oof! [Vash rubs at his stomach with a pout.] Oh? What other words are on it?

[brothersboots]

It gives me options.

[You should worry about the way she says that.]

And I'm considering the other one.

[goldenglasses]

What? Really? No one else got options. What other options are there? [He's curious!]

[tempredmental]

[Keith was mildly annoyed at being trapped, and found the idea of only hugging strange for a mistletoe tradition, but...]

This is new.

[At least it was an easy one to fix, right?]

[goldenglasses]

I'm usually all for spreading the idea of love and peace, but this is going a little too far. Even for me!

So, shall we hug? Unless you really want to possibly be trapped here forever.

[tempredmental]

No offense, but I don't. I don't like being trapped.

[He reached out for Vash's hand, moving to make that hug happen.]

[goldenglasses]

Yeah, I got better things to do myself. [He smiles as he takes the offered hand. Easily following through from the handshake to the hug. Not a style of hug he's had any real practice with, but he's a quick learner.]

[tempredmental]

[Keith leaned into it a little, giving a good-natured friendly hug. When he was ready for them or initiated them himself, Keith actually gave pretty good hugs.

Take that, weird magical mistletoe!]

[goldenglasses]

[Vash himself is always a happy hug giver and therefore and expert. He eventually lets go and tests stepping away from the mistletoe.] Ah! There we are! Freedom!
